Confrrii ut'lons up
for Bible Society
BELGRAVE _ The Annual re-
port of the Canadian Bible So-
ciety has been received and the
executive of the Belgrave branch
wishes to thank the canvassers
and the people of the Belgrave
area for their generous support in
the 1978 fall canvass for funds.
In a world that shows an
ever-increasing hunger for the
scriptures, the demands made
upon the Bible Society increase
each year. Even though more
Bibles and scripture portions are
available than ever before, the
demand still exceeds the supply.
This year the Canadian Bible So-
ciety is celebrating its 75th anni-
versary of providing these scrip-
tures at affordable prices and in
the language people of the world
can read and understand.
The people of the Western
Ontario District responded to the
need with an 18 per cent increase
in contributions. Belgrave
branch increased its contribu-
tions from $589.75 in 1977 to
$744.75 in 1978.
1905 NEWS ITEM
A few weeks ago the post-
master general, some private
members of parliament and a lot
of newspaper organs were rolling
up their eyes in a fine spasm of
economy when it was resolved to
turn down the proposal to give
free rural mail delivery. Such
ruinous extravagance was not to
be thought of for one moment, but
the scene changed with lightning
rapidity when a huge salary grab
came to be rushed through in the
dying hours of Parliamentit was
a case of 'help ourselves, there's
money to burn' and friends and
foes (politically) joined in a
generous saw -off. but the farmer
was not in on it. He comes in
handy to grow the crops that foot
the bills, but if he doesn't want to
walk six miles three days a week
for his mail after a harder day's
work than most M.P.'s perform,
he can hitch up the old gray mare
to the buckboard.
