CHARLES, DUERKES

l hope you had a restful week
end because you all are in for a
busy week. There are more things
going on than you can shake a
stick at. but don't try it. A wo-
man named Hepzibah Threeple
once went about shaking stick
at more things, etcetera, and the
authorities popped her into the
loony bin.
Tonight LAURA opens for a
week long run at the Barn Thea
ter. Excitement and tension will
be rife backstage, Just before the
curtain, and the usual opening
night tenseness will prevail
among the first nighters out front.
This has to be. Were il not so,
were the performers not keyed to
fine pitch, the play would be
soggy.
When the curtain goes up to-
night that excitement and tension
will continue for actors and
audience alike, for Laura" is a
thrilling mystery drama. Laura"
is must on your entertainment
calendar. Curtain at $3.50 o'clock.
TED SHAWNS dance recital,
Thursday night at the High
School auditorium, is another
event you should not miss.
Shawn is one of the worlds great
est opponents of the dance, and
his program for the evening will
consist of his greatest interpre-
tations. If you are in doubt about
tickets, phone me at 3 6.
A lot of things are scheduled to
happen. More about them anon.
Right now I'm busy warming up

OLD TESTAMENT REVISED

A picked group of the nations fore
most Biblical scholars and religious edu-
Gators has just about completed a revised
standard version of the Old Testament,
which, it is expected, will be published
sometime in 1852.
The new-phrased version of the Old
Testament will be companion to the SIM
liar version of the New Testament COM
pleted in 1915 by the same group of schol-
ars. They began their work in 1929, when
some forty major Protestant church bodies
in this country and Canada appointed a
committee to study the situation.
Dr. Luther A. Weigle, Dean-emeritus
of Yale University Divinity School, points
out that he and his colleagues have not
attempted to revise the Bible but they are
attempting to revise the English transla-
ton of the Bible, which was written in He
brew and Greek They seek to use English
words, phrases and sentences that will
give to the English reader of the present a
translation which will adequately convey
the meaning of the scrptural text.
The committee points out that the
work on the Old Tectament involved three
times as much translation as the New
Testament and that it was further COM
plicated by the fact that many new arch
Biological and manuscript discoveries have
been made in recent years

A DEMAND FOR ECONOMY

NOT A FAIR DEAL

Naturally, it may be assumed that
President Truman will continue his part
Rership with John l.. Lewis and other labor
bosses who have up-rooted big business.
Nevertheless big wages are being paid and
the wheels af the American economic sys-
fem keep rolling round and round Just
how Mr.. Truman figures out his fantastic
schemes is beyond the powers of human
beings and clairvOyants to solve But when
il is all whitfield down it is just fantastic
way the President is planning to repeal
all the practical labor laws now on the sta
tute books. And anyone who will take the
time to read the Taft-Hartley labor act
will find that it contains provisions and
cures for any kind of labor union strikes.
Why has our country faced these condi-
tiOns through long years-beginning with
Roosevelt, who pinned his programs onto
the man he selected as his Vice President?
II President Truman has his way the
worst labor bosses in history will continue

While our domestic policy is shaky
and unstable our foreign policy is worse
so bad in fact that it has taken billions of
dollars of American money to keep things
from blowing up.
