PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 195; | J. H ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Registration 84 But More Will Start Fall Term Approximately 84 children are registered for enrollment in beginners classes in Whitby Public Schools commencing September 1, Principal Earl A. Fairman told the Public School Board at its regular meeting last night. Registration was held in the various schools between the hours of three and four o'clock last Friday afternoon. ; Mr. Fairman stressed that this figure could not be taken as the definite enrollment in these classes. More than 100 beginners are ac- tually expected next. September. Last year, he stated, only. 901 be- ginners were registered at this time and 114 actually started school. Breakdown of registration by schools was given as: Brock Street School, 10, Dundas Street School, 15, Hillcrest School, 25, and King Street School, 34: Mr. Fairman ex] amaze- ment at the fact that of the 84 be- ginners registered, 43 will be six before January 1, 1952. Since regis- tration of five-year-olds was taken last year, it was not expected .that such a large percentage of the be- ginners registered would be this old. There will be a marked increase in the total enrollment in the Whitby public schools for next year since only about 50 students will gradu- ate this year. Too Much Wax The property committee told the | Buag meeting that. a double supply of floor wax had been bought for Hill- crest School owing to the fact that a traveller for one firm had visited Lloyd Gibson, Chairman of the Property Committee, and a travel- ler for a second firm had visited George Munns, also on the com- mittee. Both had made out orders for the supply needed. It was decided to place the or- dering of stock more completely under the control of the committee so that such duplication would not happen again: Instructions are to be given to ithe caretakers of the various schools to take stock of supplies which they have on hand and also fill out re- quisitions for any needed supplies. These would be checked by Mr. Gibson. "At least, we don't need to worry about that extra wax," commented Pat Neal. "With prices constantly rising we probably saved ourselves some money by laying in this extra stock." A salary schedule prepared by the | salary District Teachers Federation was presented at the meeting by Prin- cipal Earl A. Fairman. Since the Film Shows Great Scope Of Society At the annual meeting of the Bible Society at St. Andrew's Church last night a brief outline of its world-wide scope was given. The British and Foreign Bible So- ciety has been instrumental in translating the Bible into almost 800 languages out of a world total of 1,100 present translations. There are races in the world speaking more than 900 languages who have not yet as much as one printed line of Holy Scripture. Raised type for the blind is printed in 40 lan- es by the Society. World distribution of the Scrip- ture is estimated at more than 19,000,000 copies last year. Dr. Frank Laubach claims that as a result of increasing literacy, an additional 20,000,000 copies yearly will be re- quired for the next number of The aim of the Bible Society is to provide the Scriptures for every man in his own tongue and to cir- culate the Scriptures as widely as possible without comment of any kind. All denominations and mis- sionary societies work in close col- laboration with the Society and need the benefit of its work of translating, publishing and dis- tributing the Bible. A work of great significance in times like these. The audience was shown a sound colored film entitled "Frontiers- men".

Speaker Says The Women's Christian Temper= ance Union held its regular month- ly meeting at the home of Mrs. James Ward on Tuesday, with a good attendance of members and visitors. Mrs. Mitchell, the president, was in the chair, and conducted the opening devotional exercises as- sisted by Mrs. Staples. The high light of the meeting was an address by Mrs. Hugh Croz- jer. She opened her address by paying a tribute to Miss Frances Willard, the founder of the organi- zation, which has now more than a million and a quarter of women enrolled under its banner, Any nation that debauches and corrupts its youth, its men and women and its military forces through the curse of drinks, in order to fill its coffers with reimue, destroys its own future and com- ments national suicide, the speaker said. We, today, are very much cone cerned about the drinking habits of the 60,000 men who operate our trains so that the travellers may arrive safely at their destinatfon, But what about the 3,500,000 men who drive the cars on the high- way. They certainly are more "of a menace to the life and health of the public if they have been drinking and in many accidents the courts said liquor was a factor. Today the greatest drawback to evangelizing of the heathen world is the fact that the ship that carries the missionary and the Bible carries the liquor from our so called Christian countries. the colored races are suffering terribly from Alcoholism and one of the first acts of the freed people of India is to start a prohibition campaign in their country, and' also by law reduce the consumption of liquor by 25 per cent per year, so that soon they may have a country free from the evils of liquor. Mrs, Crozier, in closing asked all to be on the alert to help stem this terrible evil, The meeting closed by prayer and a hymn after which a social half-hour was enjoyed by all Whitby Classified Room and Board BOARDERS WANTED.

(M14) Editorial Comment A Modern Development Recreation provides a proper outlet for basic human desires. In Canada today there is a general trend to organized community recreation programs. Fortunately this was ome matter on which Whitby has been active, and a Recrea- tional Commission was. established four years ago. Throughout Canada as a whole, organized recreation stands in the same 'position foday as education was 50 years ago, in respect to financial support.' But already the pro- vincial government provides assistance and some communi- ties have their recreation programs on an almost 100% tax< supported basis, / : Twentieth-century economy is geared to mass production and assembly-line methods. At the same time, the 40-hour week and general level of prosperity results in citizens hav- ing more "free time" than ever before. Generally speaking, the workman today is able to find less satisfaction in his job, less opportunities for self-expression than ever before. For many, that basic human urge to create something is completely frustrated. That is where recreation comes in. If one is interested in gardening, gardening can be his major form of recreation. There is no reason why these people cannot band together as a Garden Club to work together in creating more beautiful flowers. Whatever the interest, recreation can develop it. In this age of speed and high tension in business offices, recreation can offer many avenues of escape or relief. It serves as a balance wheel. Although recreation is for people of all ages, it fills a major need for the child whose psychological need to identify himself with a group is great. During the years when loyalties and the sense of citizenship are being developed, recreation fills three major needs. It helps in social development, in physical development and it fills a personal need, the desire for friendships, affection and fosters a sense of security in belonging to an organized group. Bible Holds Answer To World's Problems Speaker Is Certain In a world in which millions of persons are becoming literate yearly, the need to make the Bible available to these new readers constitutes a pressing challenge to members of the Bible Society, Rev, Harry Moore, District Secre- tary told an audience last night at the annual meeting of the Whitby Branch of the Upper Canada Bible Society held in St. Andrew's Pres- byterian Church. A former Co- bourg and Owen Sound Baptist minister, Mr. Moore gave an earn- est, rational exposition of the work of the Bible Society. His manner of speaking achieved an intimacy and quiet intensity to make his words remembered. "To make the Bible available to everyone is one of the worthwhile pieces of work going on in the world today," said Mr. Moore, "It is basic to all the work of the churches, In everyday life, the teacher, "preacher, scientist finds himself under a moral obligation to share the knowledge he accumu- lates, with others. .When we come to the gospel, the good news of Christ--we should follow the dis- ciples in our eagerness to spread it. If they had not shared their faith, they would have quickly lost it. That could still happen if we do not share the Bible with other peoples of the world." Guidance In Bible "For the Christian, looking be- yond the dark clouds of today, it is easy to believe that our day is a day of really good tidings for the world," said Mr. Moore. "The Bible, being what it is, must ulti- mately become the major book for the . guidance of peoples -every- where. Between its covers are to be found a multitude of topics. It deals with the fundamentals of life. It speaks with authority on tions of life and death. There, Wamted To Rent WANTED TO RENT--BANK MAN- ager and family wish to rent house. Five rooms or more.

In trans- lation' it loses some of its beauty of language or simplicity of style. But most of all the Bible speaks God to us. It is a truism that the books which a nation worships will ultimately make or break it, therefore it is important that the Bible be in the hands of everyone. Finally, the Bible, I be- lieve, holds the answer to interna- tional problems." Mr. Moore spoke of the objects of the Society--to publish the Scriptures without note or com- ment and to hasten its job. of translation, which is far from com- pleted. "This is not the world of 25 years ago" reminded the speaker. "It is a world waking to literacy. All this presents a challenge to our resources. We must strain strain them to meet the great Bible and communist literature for the minds in Asia. We must get there first." Elect Officers The following officers were elect- ed after W. A.
