1853 German Bible Survived Bomb Hit

This y the story Of 90 old.
Bible. q metal box. and = lltchen
stove.
During World War II the Nazi
attitude toward religion made
possession Of a Bible a dangerous
thing in some parts Of Germany.
A pious German family by the
name of Roth came into posses
sion of Bible that was printed
in 1853 at Nuremberg, by Jo-
ham Joseph Fleischmann. One
of the first Catholic Bibles to be
translated from Latin into Ger
man. it was published for Karl
Albert, Duke of Hohenlohe and
Waldenburg, in Bavaria. A full
page engraving of him is on the
frontispiece.
In order to preserve the book
the family put it in a metal box
and placed the box under the
kitchen floor in their home. One
day the house was hit directly
by several bombs. Everything
was demolished except the stove
and the box. When the building
collapsed the stove fell above
the box and protected it.
Later Mrs. Paula Roth, daugh-
ter of the man who owned the
volume, and some friends re-
turned to the demolished house.
They took the stove and the
Bible to their friends home,
where once again the. box con-
tanning the book was hidden.
The war over, the family took
the Bible from its hiding place
and used it again.
Several years later. in June,
1851, a young soldier from
Washington was stationed in
Germany. Joseph Armstrong,
a graduate of Eastern High
School. soon became acquainted
with the Roth family and
learned about the Bible.
When he returned to the
United States in August. 1852,
Mrs. Roth asked him to take the
Bible and learn how much it
was worth. After his discharge
from the Army a month later,
he went to the Library of Con-
gress and eventually was told
the book was worth about 500.
Recently Mr.. Armstrong, now
an employe in the engraving
department of The Star, received
letter from friend. Rosl Bar

active throughout year, mostly at
night.
MANAGEMENT: Eats most any
thing; eggs and persimmons favor
lite food; important part consists of
insects of various kinds, ground

young rabbits. Preservation of den

management practices.
VALUE: Enjoyed as food by some
persons. Undoubtedly a pest to
poultrymen but provides sport for
hunters and destroys mice and
many insects. Fur of low quality.
Important source of food for foxes.

original petition for a young man
who has been interested in making a
career of law and politics. The young
man thought circulating the petition
would be good way of gaining ex-
perience. His unprintable description
of the lawyer followed the discovery
of the same lawyers name on a with
drawal petition.

they couldn't hit. And when the peo-
pie finally know that they were not

their names on it and leave it there.
Much bitterness has developed in the
people who were coerced into putting
their names on withdrawal. Many
will sign the initiative petition again.

LESS HEARTENING:

Montana Industry has no intention
of letting Montana people realize
either of these aims, because they
know in the secrecy of the ballot
box industry would not win.
l. They have duped innocent, as
well as the not-so-innocent, into
walking the streets with withdraw
al petitions in their hands parroting
blatant falsehoods, and fear propa-
ganda.
2. They are souring the people
on petitions.
3. They are breaking down a
neighbor's faith in his neighbor.
Two years ago Montana business
and industry formed what it called
the Montana Economic Council. This
council of Montana business and in
dustry operated during the Initiative
campaign then, and reorganized and
opened offices to fight this cam
paign. They hired people to walk the
streets and procure signatures on
withdrawal petitions.
Inconceivable to the informed per-
son is why small businessmen lend
their time and talents to the dagger
that reaches the heart of the man
who keeps them in business. Small
business will in no way be affected
by the petition. Workmen's Compen-
cation and Industrial Accident laws
already protect them, and their en-
ployees.
The Montana Economic Councils
hired men have undone work that
was done by sincere men for no
compensation.
SO much for the obituary. So much
for the feast that will be reaped for
Montana's big industries from the
messes of pottage garnered by their
hired hands.
How did they do it? Why were
they able to reap the lush harvest?
Why? People are easily frightened,
and the men from the Council were
prepared to present ghost story
to every type of signer they APP
preached in their procuring of sig
natures. 1t was how did they do it
that took me several days to find
out. This, dear readers, is story
that will make your blood curdle,
but it it true one :.

1t is morning, so only housewives
will be home. How do we procure

too, and that is why we twisted the

WHAT DO YOU TT4INK2
BY GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

This has been long day. 1t is
9 a. m. as | start this column and
there is no doubt that the Initiative
Petition for putting an amendment
on the workmen's compensation law
to make Silicosis and six other speci-
fic groups of occupational diseases
on the ballot in November, is dead.
Of course it has not been necessary
for me to stay up until this time of
the morning to listen to the final
heartbeats. But all day long I have
been watching the cause of death
slowly, slyly, surely, take over. That
the Initiative was going to die was
evident several days ago, so interest
began to center on the cause of death.
1t was a good PETITION, and you
sorta hate to lose something that is
good. Ny grieving is relieved, how
ever, because | have been told that
revival is expected. Because it is a
good petition it will live again, and
people with faith will try to put
it into the law of Montana so that
workers disabled by unsanitary con
ditions in Industry will have to be
insured by the Industry and can live
without having their names publicly
displayed on the Welfare rolls as
public charges.
Watching the 1854 Initiative
die, however hopeful the future
may look, has not been heart
warming experience. BY the time
| had heard the ceremony of the
witch doctor who welded the potion
felt as if had attended the burial
of several of the o commandm
