of the recipients.
The calendars come in a greater
variety of shapes and sizes each
year, but one of the most unusual
we've heard of thus far is the Japan
ese calendar received by Mr.. and
Mrs. George Carmack of the Carma
Theatre. II was sent from Metro
Goldwyn Mayer Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan.
The color photo on the calendar was
a picture of movie star Marion
Brado surrounded by throng of
japanese people. The calendar was
printed in the Japanese language.
FISHING at the Waterworks quarry
was enjoyed by number of Bluffton
sportsmen during last weeks balmy
weather, and with satisfactory results.
Clair Busher landed a nice 2&-
pound walleye using live bait Wednes-
day evening of last week, and the
same afternoon Ezra Basinger caught
a large pike while casting. He had il
up on the bank, but it flipped back
into the water. Also taking advantage
of the nice weather to catch a nice
string of walleyes was Lawrence
Hosafros. We haven't heard details
of his catch but understand it was
a good one.

SELF COMES FIRST

I'M FOR ME FIRST. BY Roger
Price. New York: Ballantine Books,
Inc. 1876 PIP. $.35.
1t is true that either extremes in
writing-the serious and vicious satire
one one end and absurdity on the
other-can provoke a good deal of
laughter. Utter absurdity is the key
note of this original paper-back pub
lication.
Roger Price, the nonsensically
clever creator of Coolies of Droodles, :"
presents the history and philosophy
of a new political party, the Me
First Party. I'm For Me First"
includes everything from a reverse
graduated income tax" to a diagram
on how to rig a voting machine. Also
included are cartoons by the author.
The Me First Party is movement
of greed. and cynical readers will
enjoy the latest in Priceism, if not
for its humorous value, for its
resounding whack at political prac-
tees found intermittently throughout
the book.
This book is for fun and it is good
for a laugh.

of the continuing need of the association for funds which

DR.. Gordon Bixel, who recently

announcements of his office removal

patients have been fitted number
of times, too!
The doctors patients have come

Four foreign countries are even re.

Another unusual item about the
Bixel office is that the telephone

moved from two to three some years

DEAD SEA SCROLLS

DEAO SEA 0AAOLL0
THE DEAD SEA SCRIPTURES. BY
Theodor III. Caster. New York:
Doubleday & Co., Inc. $50 PIP. $500.
"The purpose of this book is to
provide a complete and reliable trans
lation of the celebrated Dead Sea
Scrolls, insofar as the original Hebrew
texts have yet been published i.
This book is addressed to laymen.
1t is not intended as an independent
scholarly contribution to the problem
Cor problems) of the Scrolls, nor a
survey of, or an introduction to them.
1t is concerned only with what the
scrolls have to say and not what is
said about them" The controversy
DR.. Caster speaks of here has been
pressing upon the Christian world al
| most continuously since the scrolls
were discovered in 1947. For the first
time, the editor of this volume allows
the layman to look at the scrolls
and see for himself what the scrolls
have to say. The translation and its
introduction are well done.
Theodor H. Caster is an eminent
Hebraist, and an authority on the
period during which the scrolls were
written. Currently he is Visiting Pro
fessor of Comparative Religion at
the Dropsie College in Philadelphia.
A survey of the honors he has re-
ceived and the positions he has held
renders him well qualified to compile
such volume as this.
The Scriptures themselves are ar.
ranged into four distinct sections,
each of which is introduced with notes
by DR.. Caster. The texts themselves
are written clearly in modern Eng
lish and are easily comprehended. To
the layman who is interested in
exploring further all that he has heard
about the Dead Sea Scriptures this
book will lend clarity and under
standing. It's pages are well worth
his while.
