Book On, Bible By. Rev. L. Toombs

Rev.

Lawrence Toombs Recently ieleased for publication

is I text book entitled ”A Year With The Bible" written by Rev. Lawrence Toombs. PhD., professor at Drew University. Madison. N.J., and formerly of Charlottetown. The text is intended to provide guidance to I group of young people studying the Bible for I period of one year. It tries to emphasise the Bible itself and to keep background and introductory material It I minimum.

Dr. Toombs points out in the book's introduction that the course provided is merely I series of out- lines. stripped to the bare bones. "The groups using these outlines will have to put the flesh on the skeletons and give them life." aays Dr. Toombs.

Divided into three parts. each 10 periods, it is thought that it Ihould be possible to cover one period in a 50-60 minute session. The book has been adopted for study by the National Young People's Union. the Board of Christian Education. the United Church of Canada.

Priiness Has Fun During Stay In N. B.

BY JOHN MOSHER Canadian Press Staff Writer FREDERICTON (CP) - Prin-

cess Alexandra m I n I g e d to squeeze some fun between the numerous formal phases of her three-day stay in New Brunswick with her mother. the Duchess of Kent.

”She had a wonderful time Mon- day night." a member of the royal party said Tuesday before their special train pulled out for Montreal.

It followed I dignified dinner given by Lieutenant-Governor D.I1. MacLaren and the provincial gov- ernment.

Then the 17-year-old princess was a guest at the home of Janet McNair, also 17. daughter of for- mer premier John B. McNalr. Boys and girls of the same age group enjoyed dancing and all had a fine time.

PRINCESS BREAKS SCHEDULE

Two previous departures from an otherwise rigid schedule were made in this province by the gay young princess. At Moncton. she left an officers” mess to see the magnetic hill. where the lie of the land makes an uphill stretch of road appear to slope down.

At Saint John. after I civic re- ception. she slipped away to in- spect HMS Sh eff i eld. British cruiser which was christened by her mother.

The New Brunswick tour began and ended with the rain, sand- wiching I fine. warm Labor Day.

About 100 personsea sharp con- trast with previous large turnouts here and at every other spot on the N. B. itinerary-endured the wet weather in hopes of catching a final glimpse of the royal visitors.

When the lieutenant - governor, Premier Hugh John Flemming and Mayor H. S. Wright accompanied by their wives. stepped from tire train after saying farewell. t e duchess appeared on the rear plat- form to wave good-bye.

STILL SLEEPING

A minute or so later the train started and the disappointed spec- tators asked, "Where's the prin- cess?”

The receding d u c h e s I called through cupped hands: "She had such a good time last night she's still sleeping." Her daughter had been up until 1:15 a. m.

The three-week eastern Cana- dian tour will end in the Montreal area and Laurentlan mountains. The party will visit New York be- fore sailing home on the liner Queen Mary.

After a trip through the salmon- famous Miramichi district. the royal visitors had I half hour stop Tuesday afternoon at Newcastle. N. B.. where mayors Perleyie Roy and D. J. Cripps of Newcastle and Chatham were presented.

"The funds collected here are also used for cancer research on 10 different projects, for national fel- lowships for doctors and for re- fiesher courses for our Island doc- tors.

"The whole co-ordinated pro- gramme is an endeavor to save lives and I am glad we are doing so well.

"I have no doubt that when the campaign is over we will have reached our objective as the cancer drive is one that always meet: with I hearty response from cui- people,” concluded Dr. MacMillan.

other column) Ind thanked the workers for their attendance. Mr. W. H. Benton, general city

Geo'iown Home. School Meeting

The first Home and School As- sociatlon meeting of the fall sea- son was held at the home of Mrs. Agnes Murphy on Thursday. Sept. 2nd. A favourable report was re- ceived of the work of the dental clinic which was sponsored by the Home and School organization in Georgetown in the spring.

Make Progress In Culling Polio Death Toll

ROME (AP)-Mankind is mak- ing dramatic progress in its battle to cut the polio death toll, experts from 49 countries were told Tues- day.

American physicians and re- search specialists attending the third international poliomyelitis conference reported the U. S. mor- tality rate in the best-equipped hospital has been lowered from 18 to two or three per cent.

Reports during the second day of the conference were focused on treatmemt of the worst cases of the disease-those in which the breathing is affected. Although this occurs in only I small percentage of cases, it is responsible for al- most all polio deaths. i

The reports were concerned mostly with mechanic 1 treatment -such as tank respirators (iron lungs) and other devices-and with diagnosis.

PEAISES NURSE!

Dr. Kenneth Landauer. assistant medical director of the National Association for Infantile Paralysis. New York, said part of the big drop in deaths results from the skills of trained nurses and sides.

"A doctor cannot. be with a patient 24 hours I day.'' he said at a panel discussion. "The outcome of the disease may depend greatly on the care and skill of nurses and helpers.

He said 75 per cent of patients treated in ll respirator centres of the national Isaociatlon have been able to rid themselves of artificial breathing aids.

Mull And Jeff Comic Strip . Creator Dies

NEW YORK. (AP)-Bud Fisher, 69. creator of the "Mutt nnd Jeff" comic strip, died in Roosevelt hospital Tuesday of cancer. Fisher started his comic strip for the San Francisco Chronicle in 1907. His talents caught the eye of Wil- ilam Randolph Hearst, who signed him to a contract the next year.

Fisher was born Harry Conway Fisher in Chicago April 1. 1885.

He had gone west in the early part of the century with ambi- tions to be a prize fighter. How- ever. he abandoned this plan after one fight-in which he was knock- ed cold.

Fisher then turned to drawing sketches and cartoons put in win- dows of stores to attract custom- ers and finally obtained a job in the art department of the Chron- icle.

Fisher spent track across the characters there.

He finally sketched I character of his own. based on his observa- tions, with I nose as long as In

his day off at I the bay. watching who hung out

anteater's. The cartoonist named him "A. Mutt.” Fisher showed the drawing to

John P. Young. then the manag- ing editor. who remarked: "I think that looks pretty good. We will run it tomorrow."

Thus began the comic strip that was to become a favorite of millions. J

JEFF COMES LATER

Jeff got into the cartoon later when Fisher was attending train- ing prellminaries for the heavy- weight championahlp fight be- tween Jim Jeftries and Jack Johnson at Reno. Nev.

Jef was based on another "char- acter" who turned up. under the delusion he was I cousin of the

champion. One of the first cartoon strips featuring both Mutt and Jeff

showed Jeff pushing I wheelbar- row upslde down. Mutt pointed derisively to him and said: "Look at the little guy. He's crazy."

Replied Jeff: "No I'm not. No- body can put any bricks in it this way...

Strange But True

By P. H. MICAIHIIII

The oldest fossils known were discovered last year by Professor Elso Barghuarn of Harvard and Stanley Tyler of the University of Wisconsin. The fossils consist of two kinds of algae, two of fungi, an organism which the professors believe may be calcareous flagel- late. They were found in a layer of flint beneath an iron ore deposit in the province of Ontario, ”Since they lay far below the iron ore de- posit they are probably a couple of million years old.” said the Professors. The world appears to be getting older all the time.

Believed to have been dead for 12 years. Kay Martin, 40. of Three Rivers, Quebec, returned home last year to visit her parents. An in- surance Company had paid a death claim after an unsuccessful B-year search for the missing wo- man. The day following her arrival home Kay was killed in an auto- moble accident when her car went out of control and crashed into a hillside. Strange but true!

An oak plugh. the kind used by the ancient Celts, was dug up rec- ently from a bug near Dumfries. Scotland. The share was not tip- p with metal but the plough evidently had been made to be hauled by twin-yoked oxen and not women as in earlier times.
