"They seemed to enjoy the more simple things and were a happier race than today," gatherings at churches, schools and picnics. "It was a wonderful day when several school sections got to- gether and many games werd played Almost totally blind for the past few years and partially lame, Mrs, Monse still has a sparkling memory . ang keen hearing. As a result the radio which-she listens to regularly, is her best companion. "I don't know what I'd do without my radio." She keeps up on the local and world hap- penings via the newscasts and espe- cially enjoys the Sunday Church ser- vide broadcasts, She is also a regular listener to Cities Service's program '"Patriarchs and Papers", "Despite her: handicap Mrs. Monse still likes to receive the weekly papers and tach week her housekeeper Mrs. ug Archie Johnston of Sunderland; reads | her the Port Perry Star.

A resident of Port Perry for 48 years, Mrs, Moase came here at the turn of the century when this village was a railway centre and Lake Scugog was churned by steam boats carrying passengers and freight, "Port Perry had fine homes and a good business section and was a bustling centre," Born on May 25, 1857, the daughter of the late William and Mary Rogers, she attended public school at Mari- posa and finished off at Lindsay high school.

J. K. L. McGawn, President of the Uxbridge and District Ministerial Association. In the year 1611 a translation of the Bible from the Hebrew and Greek original into the Elezabéthan English then used was issued. This Author- iZed or King James Version has been in constant and much loved use ever since then, It's popularity has been well earned by its beauty, rhythm and powerful translation, and it will long continue to be loved by' good men everywhere, lish language, as-well as customs and clothes, has changed considerably since the Elizabethan . era, and "con- sequently much .of the language of the Bible is obscure to the average man.' For instance, the word "let" in the Authorized Version bears the meaning "hinder", the exact opposite of the modern meaning, Moreover the discovery of many more ancient Bib: lical 'manuscripts :and extensive lan- guage study during the centuries have enabled scholars to make a more ac- curate translation available to ys to: day." 1] "Hence it is that, after 15 years of labour by 91 scholars representing 40 Protestant denominations, 'we are to witness the outstanding event of "However it is clear that the Eng- | | the publication of a new translation " Fo) of the Holy Bible, the Revised Stand-- ard -Version, next Tuesday.

Even strong GCF polls swung towards Starr, "This .time we are off to a better | start," said Mr. Johns. "We have time to do a job for Roy that will put him in Ottawa." The proposer said he was glad Starr was elected for he would be easier to i oust tham John Lay of the Libtrals. "For if Mr. Lay had been elected by now Oshawa" would have got its Post Office at least," commented Mr. Johns. He stressed the importance of pulling in thé farmer vote to join with the labor' vote centered in Osgh- 'AWA, The only name submitted was that of Ald, J. W.

Mr, Naylor 'said he appreciated the honor but he declined to stand. 4 Will be Champion of CCF Cause Says Scott After Renomination - During the last campaign Mr. Soot } .

Despite the fact Mayor Starr had been in public life fdr nine-years and Mr. Scott had only been a public fig- ure for one month, the Mayor only polled 70 more votes than Mr. Scott in the city of Oshawa in the last clec- tion, noted-Mr. Thomas, It was the rural area that was a disappointment and that was why the party had called an early nomination so that Mr. Scott could work throughout the entire aren of the large riding.
