BOUNTY BIBLE A Bible with a romantic history has been handed to Sir Oliver Franks, the British Ambasador in Washington. It belonged to H.M.S. Bounty and remained on board when the mutineers set Captain Bligh and his officers adrift to make the most famous open-boat "voyage in history "When, in 1790, the mutincers set- tled on Pitcairn Island, they took the Bible ashore and for - many years it was used to teach the chil- deen cof the colony to read. Half a century ago it was removed from the istarid" and taken to America, where it was acquired by a Con- necticut historical society. Now thie Pitcairn Islanders have asked for it back and it was given to Sir Oliver for feturn to them, Little" Johnny was' dutifully say- ing 'his prayers one night.

Walks For Wages One of the most famous English comedians is Jack Warner, who gained much of his hold over listen- ers by his songs about people with funny occupations. The first one was the "bunger-up of rat holes," then came the "shaver-off of hairs from gooscberries," the "cutter--up of codheads" and the "chopper-up of chilis for the chutney." There were dozens of them and to date Mr. Warner--now more of a film" than radio star, although he still likes to broadcast when he c¢ has recounted the histories > a hundred of those people with funny occupations. Most of Warner's funny occupa- | tions are mythical but Plggy Robertshaw, is real enough and she has a very funny occupation--she is a shoe tester. Every day she presents herself at the office of a firm in the North of England which specialises in rubber foot wear. There she puts on a pair of their shoes and sets off to walk twelve miles. If it is a wet day she can tramp around art galleries or museums, if it is fine and lovely weather she probably takes a train + out into the country and does her twelve miles there. She knows when she has done her daily dozen by the pedometer on her leg, which is checked when she goes back to the office. Peggy wears the same pair of shoes every day until a fault de- velops. Then she reports this to the technical manager and is given a new pair. Times vary but the aver- age pair of shoes goes about three hundred miles before it becomes faulty. Peggy finds shoe testing much more to her liking than office - work, and healthier too. She loves walking and lras done 42,000 miles in her arduous job. In all those miles her feet have never ached and she has never had a corn, which is a pretty high compliment to the shoes she has worn, Sign Of The Times, Perhaps?>--The I'rench Communist women are trying to make it clear that they did not raise their sons for war---at least for war against the Soviet Union. The sign on the rostrum reads "The mothers of France will never give their sons to make war on the Soviet Union. LIVE MUCH LONGER WITHOUT OLD AGE © If you hear something about gerontology, don't assume that it has nothing to do with you. If you are under forty-five or so now, it might one day have a lot to do with vou. It is a new branch of science, the study of old age and senility. Progress in'medical science in the past century has added many years ~ to the average person's' expectation of life. Couple this fact with 'the . falling birth-rate in many countries and it is clear that, as time goes on, the proportion of over-seventies must steadily increase. roblem of the Elderly (o-day the elderly people it difficult to get voung- er people to look after them. But if we could get old without also becoming inactive, this problem would be enormously eased. That is one of the aims of gerontology. fn the past we have accepted the fact that age means a decline in mental and physical «= city, It has been something inevitable, something that must happen to the human body. That it must happen to everybody at some time is ob- ~ Vious; but at least we should trv to "delay it as long as possible. ~~ One approach to the subject is thre detailed study of all those ef- fects that we lump together as "get- ting old," and in recent years dis- tinguished scientists have investi- gated this as a kind of spare-time job. Tlhiey are making notes on their own experiences as they get older. In time a mass of evidence will be _ available as a basis for research. "Another approach is the study of age and length of life in animals and insects. With man's Bibical expecta- tion of three-score years-and ten-- statistically it is a few years less than this--the study of man him- self is obviously a long business. Gerontologists want quicker results. So they are studying forms of life whose normal expectation can be measured in days or months. Learning from Mice" : One gerontologist has gone a long way towards proving that food is closely connected with length of life. There is a complex organic sitb- stance called nucleic acid that is known to be an essential part in the make-up of all living cells. He has added this substance to the diet of mice -- an ounce of it would be enough to -give 20,000 mice their daily dose! 'But this tiny quantity regularly given to mice increased their average lives 'by over eight per cent for males and over seven per cent for females, - : This same rescarch worker ob- tained another clue to the import- ance of nucleic aid by studing becs.

(lave another 3 title be Answer elsewherb in this issue 4, 31 Be x Fi & so well known is that this difference is settled by diet. Queen bees and worker bees come from exactly the same kind - of eggs. When the grubs hatch out, they are all'fed for four days on what is known as royal jelly; after these first four days most of the grubs are switched over"to a diet of pollen and honcy and they all become worker bees, but a limited number of grubs are kept on royal jelly and these develop into queen bees. But what a difference there is in their respective lengths of life-- a few months, or five years! All Done By Diet What is the difference in the diet --betweén royal jelly and pollen and honey? Royal jelly is rich in nucleic acid for one thing. For an- other, it is rich in vitamin B, or what scientists now know to be the vitathin B group, for this is not one 'vitamin jut quite a collection. Next in this research, fruit flies were fed on the different chemical substances that were found in royal jelly. When all the substances were added to the flies' diet, their aver- age life was increased by nearly fifty per cent; but adding the sub- stances separately gave rather smaller increases. That is as far as this work has gone, Considering how young is this new science of studying age, it must be regarded assexcellent progress.' And very hopeful progress, too! That the secret of the bees has so far helped only 'a few hundred mice .and fruit flies to live longer, and fit longer, is not a thing the human race stiould feel sore about. The benefits to man may come in the "normal" lifetime of many of us. New scientific methods of war- fare get most of the headlines, but and presumably to remain "active | gerontology is orthodox research, too--it is not a "crank" project: We spend many hundreds per cent more on research in destruction than we spend on rescarch:in these complex problems of length of life and eas- ing the burden of old age. Why? It is for the world to'decide which kinds off scientific offerings to hu- manity make the most progress. New Song "Speed Bonpy Boat like a bird on the wing, Over the sea to Skye," runs the old Scots song, telling of Bonnie Prince Charlie's flight to that most romantic island of the Inner Hebrides. Now another tune has been composed, and this has the title of "Under the sea to Skye." And what is it that is going un- der the sea to Skye but a submarine cable that is at last bringing elec- tricity to the shepherds in the glens, the crofters by the shore and all the people in this remote" and lovely island. The cable is part of the new Scottish Hydro-Electric Scheme which, using the abundant water power available in Narthern Britain, is gradually bringing eleetricity to the whole of Stotland,--and with it relief. from , household and otlier drudgery. No more candles or little lamps with floating wicks; no more back-breaking work to be done by hand that can, easily be dealt with by electrical apparatus. With the advent of electricity to the High= lands, electric kettles and irons, and even a few refrigeratbrs and wash- ing machines are selling well, and nearly all houses and even the byres are electrically fit. s .

Barclay Warren JESUS' PEREAN MINISTRY Mark 10:13-16, 35-40, GOLDEN TEXT: For even the Son of man came not to be minist- ered unto but to minister, 4nd to give his life a ransom for many, Mark 10:45. Jesus loves the children. It is true that He was the Man of Sor- rows, but the Psalmist exclaimed also, "Cod, thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows". Ps. 45:7. The children with their fond mother were at- tracted to him. The 'song writer has expressed the sentiment of many: °° "I wish that His hands had been plac"d on my head; That His arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, 'Let the little ones come unto me"." Jesus set forth the child. as an example of humility and trust and said, "Of such is the kingdom of God". In striking contrast to this inci- dent is another one in Perea, east of Jordan, concerning James and John, the sons of thunder. Their ambi- tious mother wanted them to have positions of eminence in Christ's kingdom. To them Jesus pointed out that the path to his own glory was one of suffering. "Would they drink of his cup and be baptized with 'his baptism?" They replied, "Yes", They did not know that one "of them would be the first apostle to be put to death by the sword. The other, John, would live through much persecution and die in" banishment. Yet Jesus did not promise that they would sit, the one on his right and the other on his left in his kingdom. "--True.greatness is not in sclf-seek- ing but in service: Jesus was the great example of this truth. The _way up Is down. Jesus said, "Ex- Gwynne, aged six, was left in her aunt's care recently, She had no sooner arrived than she was out -making friends with the neighbor- hood children, She told her new- . found playmate, Martin, that she" was born in her own home, lastantine HA Re 1INDAY SCHOOL cept ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
