A Great Bible
There have been good and:
poor Bible translations. Some
have contained ludicrous errors
which have marked them foe
posterity. But 350 years ago this'
year, in 1611, one of the reeog-
nizeclly great translations was
published-the King James Ver-
sion.
It isn't without its obscurities
and its errors-one whole chap-
ter is used twice, But its Ian-
guage not only fitted its time but
echoes until today, Probably
most Bible quotations in English
come from the King James Ver-
sion because it is the most quota-
ble.
It was written iii the style
born in the Elizabethan Age. It
is filled with passages stated so
memorably that they have be-
come a part of the thinking of
every English-speaking person.
Modern versions may set forth
in simpler words, such utter-
ances as Ruth's to Naorni-"whi-
timer thou goest, I will go" - or
Paul's injunction to the Hebrews
that it is better "to suffer afflic-
tion with the people of God, than
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for
a season." But no translation is
ever likely to capture the imag-
ination of the faithful as has the
King James Version,
It had a number of things in
its favor from the start. It came
at a time when English-speaking
Christians were hungry for a
Bible of their own. It gave its
readers mind-filling phraseology
which has endured through 3 34
centuries. It had the name and
the blessing of King James, "the
most high and mighty prince."
It was accomplished by indubi-
table scholars who went at their
task humbly, "supported within
by the innocency and truth of a
good conscience."
This is not to detract from the
Revised Standard Version or any
of the other translations of the
Protestant Bible, nor from the
Douay Version of the Catholia
Bible, But it is to agree with Dr.
Geoffrey Fisher, the Archbishop
of Canterbury, that the band of
scholars who put together the
King James Version produced "a.
version of such superb merit that
it (has) entered imperishably into
the language, thoughts and lives
of English-speaking peoples ever
since." -Arizona Daily Star

On Poor Valentino
•
The sun-scorched little town of.
Castellaneta, perched in the
Apulian hills of southern Italy,
has little to offer tourists except
a distant view of the Ionian Sea
and some fat and juicy oranges.
Last month, however, its publi-
city-minded mayor, Gabriele
Semeraro, announced his plans
to bring the world to Castellane-
ta by honoring the town's most
famous export - Rodolfo Alfon-
so Raffaello Pietro Filiberto
Ouglielmi di Valentina d'Anton-
guolla, otherwise known to the
world as Rudolph Valentino.
An 'Under Secretary in the
Italian Ministry of -Tourism and
Entertainment, Mayor Semeraro
worked for almost two years be-
fore he could get a civic commit-
tee (Associazione Pro-Locco) to
raise money for a statute of the
great man. The group provided
$2,720, and the project was en-
trusted to II 'professore Luigi
Gheno, a Roman sculptor, but
Ghenci was dubious about how
to proceed without having known
his subject, "What is it," he re,
calls .asking ,himself, "that made
women go so Mad for this man?"
Yellowed press .clippings show-
ed that the hot-eyed Valentino
had been the most popular
movie idol of all time. When he
died suddenly in 1926, women
lined up for eleven blocks on
Broadway for his funeral, and
scores of them were injured in
the general melee, Even after he,

We learn a great deal through
affliction. Someone has said,
"Sometimes God has to lay us on
our back so that we can look
up." We see life's meaning and
purpose and its real values more
clearly when we look up to God.
Job was a better man when
his affliction was over, He said,
"I have heard of thee by the
hearing of the ear: but now mine
eye seeth thee," While he was a
good man at the beginning of the
trial, he was a much better man
at Its close. As his understand-
ing of the greatness of God in-
creased, so aid his humility.
God commanded the so-called
friends of Job to offer up for
themselves a burnt offering and
Job would pray for them. This
was a complete exoneration of
Job in spite of all the hard things
which these men had said about
him. Then we have this signifi-
cant statement, "And the LORD
turned the captivity of Job, when
he prayed for his friends: also
the LORD gave Job twice as
much as he had before," Pray-
ing for one's critics is good
therapy, It helps to cleanse the
mind and spirit. If he had en-
tertained a bitter attitude toward
them,-and by worldly stand-
ards, he had good reason to do
so,-he would have died very
unhappy. It's the forgiving spirit
that wins. If we do not forgive,
we cannot be forgiven of God.
Following the standards set up
by our Lord Jesus Christ by His
example and teachings is the
best way to live, for spirit, mind
and body. But how can we do
it? We must be changed from

with some help from press
agents, then as a cult. Every
Aug. 23, there have been mem-
orial services at the cemetery,
where representatives of Valen-
tino clubs from California to
Calcutta usually read poems
("Gold shot with fire/Song of
love on a silver lyre - Gone!").
There .have also been at least
six different "women in. black"
who appear, heavily shrouded,
weep copiously during the cere-
monies, and then slink mysteri-
ously away.
After doing his homework,
sculptor 'Gheno decided he had
discovered the secret Of the
Valentino appeal:- "He looked
like a young man in need of
help; that is,.he needed to make
love in order to live."
Thus inspired, Gheno spent
eight months turning out an 8-
foot-high ceramic figure show-
ing Valentino in his great star-
ring role of 1921, "The Sheik"
The robes are yellow, red, and
blue, The face, for some reason;

statue carted off to' be installed

By May 6, which is Valentimea
birthday, the mayor said he hop:

Kirk Douglas and Silvana Man-

Beyond that, he hopes to have

Wolves Reared.
This indign tipy
The Wolf Boy of India will
never become a superman like
Taman, that fictional ehamter
with animal .foster-trirent ,4.
will never find a luscious Inman
mate, or rule the ereature.4
his jungle with biceps' of steel.
',Mere have been many tales
of children reared by wolvos --
from Romulus and Remus, the
legendary founders of Rome, to
Mowgli, the wolf-boy Of Kip-
ling'.s Jungle Books.
But the reality is stark tra-
gedy, For heredity in humans is
a. very fragile thing.
A cat will mother puppies,
hen., will care for ducklings and,
when the young grow up, they
will become almost normal,
members of their own species.
This seldom, if ever, happens in
the case Of a child who has been
brought up by an animal with
maternal feelings,
If he has missed that essential
something the human .enytion ,
meat gives a baby, lie will
Probably remain at least half
animal. He is unlikely ever to
learn to tette.
One of the worst eases is tha t
of Retina the Indian Wolf soy,
Today seven years after he was
found in the jungle, he is still
in Balrampur Hospital, Luek-
now. Most of the time this six-
teen-year-old boy lies in bed
playing with toy animals like
an infant, When taken for an.
airing in a wheelchair' he can
now smile his happiness.
That, however, is about the
extent of Ramu's progress to
normal ity!
Despite every care and atten-
tion he remains pitifully deform-
ed. He cannot walk upright, let
alone talk. Yet tests show that
Ramu's brain must have been
slightly above average when lie
was. born.
He has wild, .yellow-b•town
eyes, long double incisor teeth
and claw-like fingers, He can
.abuffle along .on all fours, whim-
per, snarl or growl,
Doctors who have examined
him over the years doubt if he
will ever be any better. Indeed,
it is feared he may die between
eighteen and twenty - a wolf's
usual life span!
Ramu was discovered in . a
part of India where wolves are
the only large wild animals,
Other evidence of his strange
upbringing is:
One: Rama, laps milk or water
like a dog.
Two: He can smell raw meat,
which be loves, before seeing it.
Three: When taken to Luck-
now Zoo, he tried, with excited
kelps to scramble into the
wolves' cage.
Four; The tuberculosis bacilli.
with which he is infected is of
an animal type quite different
from that of the human,
When Ramu was first brought
to the hospital, emaciated, hun-
gry and with long matted hair,
he was terrified of his own -kind
and so scared e7f the light it was
assumed he had been living in
a den, His body was filthy and
badly scarred, writes • Basil .Bai-
ley in "Tit-Bits."
He almost starved in his railed
cot until lie was given raw meat
and -a pan of water to lap. At
the first attempt the patient's
teeth bit deeply into ward at-
tendant's band!
One day Rarriu caught sight of
an alsatian dog and yelping with
joy, tried deeperately to reach
it.
Today he will take a vegetar-
ian diet and even wear clothes.

It is not necessary to use Pure

creosote and half diesel or fuel
oir, or Waste crankcase oil, is
satisfactory. Another solution
that has proved satisfactory is
a mixture of diesel or fuel oil
with five per cent, by weight, at
penthachlorophenol added. Also
recommended by Dr. Denyer, is
copper napthenate mixed with
diesel or fuel oil to give a solu-

Discriminating tastes of the
Canadian consumers are being
pampered - even to the shade
of yellow of egg yolks.
Though the color of the yolk
has no effect on the food value
of the egg, many people find a
pale yellow yolk unappetizing
and others object to a dark yel-
low color.
With' this in mind, the Poul-
try Products Division of the
Canada Department of Agri-
culture has tome up with a yolk
color chart which may yet be-
come a standard in the industry.
*
Color of an egg yolk is de-
termined by the pigment in the
feed offered to the hens.
Thus, if the eggs being laid
by a spedific flock are proving
unpopular with housewives be-
cause of the color of their yolks,
the problem can be overcome
easily by altering the diet.
* *
D. A. Fletcher, special pro-
jects officer with the Poultry
Division, started the task of
creating a new yolk color chart
more than three years ago.
Working closely with the
National Research Council's
paints and oils research labbr-
atory, he tested about 200 shades
of yellow before settling on a
representative group of 15.
Having determined the 15
shades of yellow, Fletcher and
his colleagues put the colors
on metal disks, each of which
- contained a hole the size of a
yolk to facilitate the job of
identifying the kind of eggs
preferred by the average con-
sumer.
Visitors to the Royal Winter
Fair in Toronto, asked their
preference in yolks, unanimous-
ly selected numbers six to 10
on the color scale - rejecting
the top five as too dark and the
bottom five as "anaemic."
Not only could the new color
chart set a standard for, all of
Canada, but it could be used
to good advantage in the frozen
egg business where the color of
the yolk is an important factor,
Given wide application, the
chart should result in even
more palatable egg' 'for the
breakfast table.
Charts can be procured from
Canadian Government's Specifi-
cation Board, Montreal Road,

One of the many jobs that

And just in case you did hot
know it, green posts and sea
soiled posts require different
treatment. Both are satisfactory
if treated properly.
To treat green posts effective-
ly, says Dr, Delver, the butts
are stood ih a tank. of unheated
preservative for three or foul'
cleat iii warm spring weather,
The butts should be imatersed
to about eight inches above the
e-ected ground' level.
The preservation solution re-
commended by him for green
posts is made with half a pound'
of dry chronicled zinc chloride,
or one pound of a 50 per cent
