New Catholic Bible
Denotes PiIafe After
Nearly 1000 Years
'StreumIined' Testament
Has Striking Changes in
Style and Language

B5 the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. Feb. lS.-After
almost 1000 years Pontius PLATE has
been denoted.
Recorded in biblical history as
Governor OF Judea, the man who
delivered Jesus to his Roman su-
periors to be crucifed will be listed
simply as procurator of the Roman
province in streamlined revision
of the Catholic New Testament.
The revision-the first since 1749-
will be released May 18, designated
as Biblical Sunday in the United
States.
Bishop Edwin OHara of Kansas
City. chairman of Confraternlty
Committee which rewrote the New
Testament in modern language, ex-
planned that PLATE was not gov
ernor in the modern sense, but a
fiscal agent of Rome with judicial
powers.
Work Took Nearly Five Years.
The revision is the result of nearly
five years work by the committee,
comprising Bishop O'Hara, Arch
bishop John Gregory Murray of st.
Paul, Mimi; Archbishop John T.
McNicholas of Cincinnati and an
editorial board of outstanding scrip
ture scholars.
The confraternity has started re-
vising the Old Testament. This
work will require two or three years
more.
Many words of Latin derivation,
no longer commonly used, have been
omitted. The frequent "concu-
piscence" has been replaced by
'luSt." Such outmoded words as
SAITH" "calleth" and took place"
have been changed to said"
called" and was" The often-used
"tidings" and this day" have be-
come simply news" and today"
-Denarius" for Penny.
In the Gospel concerning the
laborers in the vineyard, each will
receive his "denarius" instead of
penny" The "denarius" was a sill
yer coin equivalent to 1-84th OF a
Roman pound and penny" does not
convey the proper value.
A striking change in printing
style is the use of paragraphs in
stead of the familiar verse form.
Printing will be one wide column
across each page, instead Of two.
New and more understandable foot
notes have been appended.
Poems are printed in poem form,
quotations as quotations and letters
as letters, using other modern edi-
torial practices.
Bishop OHara said he realized
the need of a revised edition while
conducting adult discussion clubs
in Montana in 1888 and 1884. He
suggested a revision to the Con-
fraternity Committee and 1t was
approved.
The last revision was by Bishop
Richard Challoner of London 1872
yeraS ago. He revised an English
translation made in 1882 by pro-
fessors of English colleges at Rheims
and Douay, France. Bishop Chal-
loner's version has been the gener-
ally accepted English translation
for Catholics.

Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Ice
land does not have such a cold cli-
mate as we might expect for a
country at the edge OF the Arctic
Circle. A branch of the Gulf
Stream flows to the western side
of the island, and causes warm
breezes to blow over it.
Those breezes have an effect
even in mid-winter. There are days
In January when the temperature
of the capital city is above the
freezing point.
The capital city is named Rey-
kjavik, and it contains about one
third of all the people in Iceland.
Its January temperature is about
the same as that of Philadelphia.
Odd things happen during Ice
lands summer. Now and then Rey-
kjavk has a snowfall on July
or August dayl In general we may
say that this city's winters are not
so cold as those of New York
City, and the summers are not so
hot.
Iceland has forests of low trees,
most of them not rising above the
height of IL or IS feet. The trees
are mainly dwarf birches and noun

About 40 years ago, a farmer
In Western Iceland laid q pipe
from a hot spring into his home.
This led other farmers to follow
his example, and today there are
many farm homes which are
heated with water from hot
springs. The warm water also is
piped into hothouses, and is en-
ployed to water outdoor vegetable
gardens. Warm water helps the
vegetables to grow more rapidly.
In 1929 hot spring water was
piped into hospital at Reykjavik,
likewise into school and into
80 homes. Since then scores of
other houses in the city have come
to be heated by hot water obtained
in this way.

West opened the queen of spades,

He therefore ducked both the first

At this point South needed the

There was a chance, of course, that

happen, South would apply pressure
by leading out all of his trumps.
