,Nearly $90,000 for bibles,
testaments. and portions of the
Christian scripturffs was raised in
South Western Ontario last year,
reports the Canadian ' Bible
Society, Westarp Ontario
District.
While a slight decrease after
Centennial year, this amount is
above that received 1966,
reports the District Office in
London. One Hundred and Fifty
Five communities in the area
contributed to the total of
$88,259:32.' The largest Branch
is the City of: London with
$20,084.49 'followed by.Windsor
with $5,436.12 and Sarnia,with
$4,111.05.
The Bible Society translates'
the scriptures, publishes and
distributes them in nearly all of
the 1,350 languages into which
scriptures appear. Over 100
million copies were distributed
throughout the world in 1968.
There is a shortage of
scriptures in many eas of the
world due largel the
expanding demands and 'invited
financial resources.
The increasing demands for
scriptures is forcing the Bible
Society to cut down drastically
in the time taken for translating
and publishing." Electronic
machines are being pressed into
service and intensifiied' training
programmes embarked upon to
"meet the demands.
Smaller selections of the
Bible are- published as soon as
translation work is commenced!
This will not only encourage the
translators who will see
immediate- fruit for their
labours, but will also provide the
opportunity of checking on the
style and rearlability of ,the
translation while he work is in
progress.

The :Big Ship' J ecuiledOn CBC
RadioDays Of Sail Series
Ship construr:tion has
increased rapidly during the last
few years and,the Japanese have
now replaced the British as the
world's leading ship
manufacturers. But few
Canadians realize their nation
once ranked as the fourth largest
ship -owning country in the
world, --- •and wooden sailing
vessels built in the ports of the
Maritimes swelled the fleets of
every merchant navy afloat.
The greatest creation from
Canadian shipyards was the W.D.
Lawrence, perhaps the largest
wooden, square-rigged vessel
ever to ply the trade routes.
Registered at more than 2,400
tons and standing 200 feet higl '
at the mainmast, she was built at
Cobeduid" Bay, ,,Nova Scotia, in
1874 and later dumbfounded
critics '=with - an excellent sailing
record.. •
-
``1''he' story •of the W.D.
LaWrence "will ,)e told on ...the
CBC radio network Tuesday,
February 11 at 8: 30.,p.m. EST in
the program The _ Big. Ship, as
part of the CBC Tuesday Night
series, Days of .ail.
The ship was named after her
designer, • builder • and owner
William Dawson Lawrence, who
sacrificed almost everything he
had to achieve a dream. It took
two years to ,build the vessel and
the sceptics yoked that she was
too big and would be pounded
to bits by the heav3P eas.
But thousands marvelled that
October „ day in 1874 as the
mighty, craft was launched,
Nothing like it had beep seen
before. IA seven -ton rudder,
steam -operated windlass, patent
double -action pumps and
palatial living quarters fore and
aft all helped to boc;t its
construction cost 'to more than
$.107,000, a huge amount in
those days.
The W.D. Lawrence went on
to make a fortune for her owner
but as steam and iron ships
gradually began to fill the sea
lanes, she was sold to a shipping
interest in Norway and
eventually came home to Nova
Scotia where she ended her days
as a barge. -
The dramatization of this
magnificent ship's story will
feature - Henry Ramer as
shipbuilder W.D. Lawrence and
atonal Electric
ebruary 9 to
William Needles as Captain
James Ellis. Days of ` Sail is
written by well-known Canadian
author Joseph Schull and
produced for. CBC radio by J.
Frank Willis. Narrator for the
series is John Scott.
