I —Huron Expositor. Of course the scieptures date back many centuries, but it is of interest to know that this year the 400th an- niversary of the publication of the' English Bible is being celebrated. And it is of even greater interest to point out the immense influence the English Bible has had in the develop- ment of both religion and literature. In 1533, for the first time, it was ordained that the Bible, as translat- ed frern the Scriptures by Tyndale,' was to be openly exhibited in church -I es, an action, it might be said, to freedomv elaidinthencgnd olaners.tone of religious Tyndale's translation of the Bible, which he began shortly over four hundred years ago, and alts accessi- bility to every class of people, has also played the leading pert in the development of English literature. It was the first book in the English language which could be compared to the classics, and previous to it no° great work had ever been written in, the English language, And certainly since that day no book has ever been published that compared in English, in purity of diction, and in wealth of illustration to the Bible. It is an old book, but And None Too Soon They are making ,a general clean- up of our penal institutions. This is being done none to soon. What we fear is that the whole thing will turn out to be a political job. From the very start, men of a certain pol- itical complexion will seek the office. In a party ridden country it would be a grave government that would venture to proceed on any other principle that that "to the victors belong the spoils." Meanwhile the whole penal system and the country is bound to suffer, However that may be, we earnestly ask that the kovernment will do its best in a sit- uation crying out for adequate treat- ment.o Tbegin with, Canada requires handled that they do not continue an, offence to society, The offensive nat- ure in the lawbreaker must be got rid of somehow, When this cannot be done, the eccentric must be taken care of, for the welfare of society as well as for his own protection. . —Exeter Times -Advocate. A Lesson for the Old ) •Parties A record vote in the Saskatchewan elections can bring little comfort to the old line parties, unless it serves as a lesson. Liberal and Conservative strength combined suffered a decline of 63,605 votes, while C.C.F., Social Credit and "others" made a net gain of 80,457, and represented more than 42 per cent of all ballots east. The total increase of 16,581 votes, appat- ently, was not chic to an urge to re- compense the old parties for the past services. . The liberal poll was lighter than in 1934 by 6,500, but the Conservative vote was reduced by 57,000. As the latter party contested only 23 out of for such a situation, men who L under- the 50 seats, it is probable that large stand human nature. That is requir- numbers of Conservatives cast their ed for the institution itself. What is lot with their traditional opponents even more needed is a judiciary whol to help save the Province from the knows something of not only making Aberhart invasion In view of the trend shown toward new arrivals it is fortunate that this was the case, and the Liberal Party would be w 11 advised not to be too exultant twee the outcome. Intend of fastening attention on the 199,657 votes received it sheuld give serious thought to the 188,173 which were neither Liberal nor Con- pervative. Even after making allow- ance for the discontent Which nat- jurally accompanied l'years of depres- gon, the fact that Social Credit cap- tured 70,050 votes with its 41 can- didate, that twelve cancrElates of nondescript parties received 35,493 votes and that the aar. had 82,630 supporters indicate an unhealthy state of opposition calling for a study of policies. Congratulations are still due the Saskatchewan people for rejecting Social. Credit ancl giving the Liberals a chance to prove themselves worthy of continued confidence. But on the whole the trend indicated is disquiet- ing. The two historic parties ought to take the hint and look themselves over, to see where they fail to meas- ure up to popular requirements . —Globe and Mail.

The gasolines they had been using were drained from the tanks of their cars and replaced by this "mystery motor fuel" (the blue coloring had been omitted). Then they went out to test it --and late; their reports were collected and tabulated. WHAT DID THEY PROVE? 86% of these experienced motor- ists reported that this "mystery fuel" gave a better performance than the gasolines they had been using (a total of 30, including 13 premium priced fuels).
