Bible Reading
The World Over
A marine on Guadalcanal in
World War II wrote to his
mother citing certain Bible pas-
sages and suggesting that they
read them on the same day,
When she called the local branch
a Society
the American Bible S ocy
In Philadelphia to tell them of
.
his suggestion she had before
her both his letter and a tele-
gram from the Navy Department
notifying her that her son had
been killed in action.
The woman's voice broke as
she was telling the story, and
she hung up the telephone. She
did not give her name. The so-
ciety was unable to trace the
call and has never succeeded. in
identifying the person who made
it.
Yet that telephone . call has . .
echoed around the world. Not
long thereafter a chaplain from
Guadalcanal, Dr. James Clay-
pool, came to work for the
American Bible Society. When
told of the incident, he was in-
spired to launch a simultaneous
Bible reading program known
today as. "Worldwide Bible
Reading."
It takes place between Thanks-
giving Day and Christmas and
is now in its fourteenth year.
The society has just issued its
selected daily Bible readings
from Nov. 28 to Dec. 25 — with
passages for the remaining six
days of the year for those who
wish to continue. These are dis-
tributed through the churches
and in many public places by the.
society.
The observance has gained
dramatic emphasis from its an-
onymous origin and each year
more people have made the holi-
day season an opportunity for
closer acquaintance with the
Bible.
Bible reading in some remote
parts of the world is the only
reading. Frequently a translation
of the Bible, or some part of
it, is the first written form of
Ianguage there. Today the Scrip-
tures, or portions of them, are
available in more than 1,100
languages. These translations
comprise the languages and dia-
lects spoken by approximately
95 per cent of the world's popu-
lation, according to authorities
of the American Bible Society.
Many times this means reduc-

teaching the natives to read. One
of the most recent projects „of
this kind brought the Bible to
mountain tribes in Formosa.
There are between 300 and 400
such ' projects under way in
mountain villages and faraway
jungle settlements all over the
world. ,
The American Bible Society
reports a great demand for the
Scriptures in India where the
Sermon on the Mount has been
translated into fourteen lan-
guages, with four more transla-
tions now in progress. Mahatma
Gandhi never professed the
Christian faith, but it is known
that he liked to read the Ser-
mon.
Of the Bible, Theodore Roose-
velt said: "Almost every man
who has by his lifework added
to the sum of human achieve-
ment of which the race is proud
— of which our people are
proud — almost every such man:
has based his lifework largely
upon the teachings of the Bible."
Said Woodrow Wilson: "A man
has deprived himself of the best
there is in the world who has
deprived himself of this (ti
knowledge of the Bible):"
Years ago a great Russian au-
thor, Fiodor M. Dostoyevsky,
pleaded with the youth of Rue-
iia, "I recommend you to read
the, whole Bible through in the
Russian translation . ,One gains,
for one thing, the conviction that
humanity possesses, and can pos-
sess, no other book of equal
significance."
The American Bible Society
today conducts its work in more
than 60 countries and only last
month commemorated the dis-
tribution of half a billion vol-
umes of the Scriptures since its
founding in 1816. From the dis-
tribution of 6,410 volumes in that
year, the society has increased
its circulation of the Bible until
last year it reached a total of
15,170,058 writes Josephine Rip-
ley in The Christian Science
Monitor.
Even so, the society estimates
that 40 per cent of the population
is growing up in ignorance of the
Scriptures. Much of the tension
of our times, as authorities of
the society see it, may be traced
to ignorance of the Bible and
the moral precepts it sets forth.
Working to eliminate this
ignorance, the American Bible
Society is associated with 23
other Bible Societies around the
globe — all engaged in the work
of translating, producing, and
distributing the Scriptures.
The work began centuries ago
when a Baptist minister in Wales
decided that something should
be done to eliminate the scarci-
ty of Bibles. This prompted a
discussion of how to publish a
Bible at as low a cost as possible.
And if low-cost Bibles were to
be published for Wales, why not
for England? someone asked.
And if for England, why not for
the world?
Thus was organized the Brit-
ish and Foreign Bible Society in
1604. A donation of 500 pounds
fdom this society laid the ofunda-
tion for its counterpart in the
United States 212 years later. To-
day the American Bible Society
has branches all over the coun-
try
ountry and headquarters at 450 Park
Avenue, New York City.

Joe Kilbert's Airport Restaur-

cream pies are their favorite
dessert. Celebrities, as well as
more ordinary people, have
adroitly suggested that they

these pies, but Mr, Gilbert has
always smiled tactfully and ig-
nored the hint to give away his
recipe. Now, for the very first
time, he has parted with this
information — to your columnist
for you, writes Eleanor Richey

Chocolate is the pie most Often
ordered, but there are several
other flavors also. I will give the
recipe to you just as his chef

can reduce it to any quantity you
like. Put this mixture in a baked,
cooled pastry shell and keep it
in the ice box until dinner time.
Then spread all ever it, right to

Do Fats Help Cause
Heart Disease?
Are fats, as often charged,
really a factor in causing heart
disease?
At the annual meeting of the
American Heart Association in
Chicago a panel of the country's
leading cardiologists gave their
answer: Apparently not. Sta-
tistical evidence relating chol-
esterol and other fatty foods to
heart ailments is not standing
up under scientific scrutiny.
"The evidence against fats," said
Dr. Herman E. Hilleboe, New
York State Health Commissioner,
"grows weaker.”
"Half the people who die of
heart attacks have normal levels
of fats in their blood," added Dr.
Robert W. Wilkins of Boston,
Mass., president of the associa-
tion. "There is not enough known
about the cause of heart attacks
to tell everyone to cut down
sharply on fats, or to make
drastic diet changes."
Panel members agreed that it
was wise to keepthe fatty foods
at a reasonable level to prevent
overweight. But for the normal -
weight person to avoid fats en-
tirely "is not only unwise but
possibly harmful," said Dr. Robt,
E. Olson of the University of
Pittsburgh.
With less emphasis on the role
of diet in heart disease new and
more profitable research is un-
der way, Dr. Olson said. Possible
causes now under scrutiny:
Heredity, liver inefficiency, dis-
ordered metabolism of the body,
and tension. Drs. Ray H. Rosen-
man
man and Meyer Friedman of- -
San Francisco have concluded
that occupational stress and emo-
tional upsets may indeed be im
portant factors. They reported
a study of 42 male tax account-
ants during three tax -deadline
periods of the year in which
they found that their blood
levels of natural cholesterol rose
at such times, while their blood
clotted in less than half the
normal time. Both conditions
are believed to "stage setters"
for heart disease. The physicians,
who consider their findings
"clear-cut evidence" that stress,
not diet, helps bring on heart,
attacks, agreed that taxpayers,
under similar circumstances,
might shoW the same signs.

These Days A Girt
Has To Fight Il
To some moviegoers, the rise
of Kim Novak has seemed miff
but inexplicable. It has not,
however, been the , easy, over-
night rise to boundless fame and
fortune, of the sort which was
once almost a Hollywood com-
monplace. In these hectic Holly-
wood days a girl has to fight
and when she has won, what
has she got? Below is a ledger
of Kim's progress, with pro-
gram notes by Kim herself.
--5100: a week: She got a con-
tract with Columbia Pictures,
and a small role in "Pushover",
late in 1953. "They (Columbia)
gave me my 'first` opportunity,"
Kim recalled. "Llucky for rne.
I'm not an aggressive 'person,"
—$250: She got a good role in
"Picnic", early in 1955. Then
.came "The Eddy Duchin Story".
As Kim recalls it, "Columbia
said they would automatically
give me a bigger raise if the
picture goes well. The picture
went very well. ; Nothing hap-
pened." Meantime Columbia lent
her to Otto Preminger for "The
Man With the Golden Arm" and
gave her a new contract at:
—$750: "They said they would
give me a percentage of the pic-
ture," says Kim. "I never got
a percentage of the picture."
—51,250: This was her weekly
pay for making "Jeanne Eagels",
which she finished last winter.
"I told Cohn (Harry Cohn, studio
head at Columbia) before I went
to Europe this summer that I
was very indefinite about stay-
ing in this business. I didn't
care about the fame if 1 couldn't
get the money out of it."
—$2,750: This is her current
weekly pay -check as she winds
up 'From Among the Dead" for
Alfred Hitchcock. She has a
new contract, won after she
changed agents. "Change is, part
of life," said Kim.
-$3,000-plus: This, under the
new contract, automatically be-
comes her weekly salary next
year, "Today no one can make
money," says Kim. "IT 1 can do
the things I want for any family,
and live comfortably, that's all.
I can't have any self-respect if
I let people walk over me."
