BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH , BOOK OF FREEDOM U.S. Society Has Distributed 406 Million Bibles in 135 Years r.; r rri I 'I t V This year, the American Bible Society will celebrate 135 years of service In promoting wider circu-lation of the Bible. It was in May, 1816. t h a t a group of Christian leaders gathered in New York and founded the national society for the distribution of the Bible . America was embarking on a great period of expansion when the Bible Society was founded. New York was a small city of some 100,000 people clustered around the Battery, but the country was spreading westward. Already set-tlements of hundreds, then thou-sands of homes were dotting the wilderness. It was the era of the American pioneer, and along with the need for roads and schools came another the need for Bibles. Although there were local socie-ties for this purpose in their own communities, none was able to fulfill the needs to the west. It was Samuel J. Mills, "the father of the foreign missions." who was most instrumental in calling to-gether the historic meeting which brought about the formation of a Dr. Frederick W. Cropp, gen-eral secretary of the American Bible Society, holds in his right hand a copy of the Scriptures which the society distributed to soldiers during the t'ivll War. In his left hand is the edition being distributed to servicemen today. Hughes. The first treasurer was Richard Variek, the second mayor of New York City. AS AMERICA expanded, so did the society. From their first small headquarters in the offices of a printer, they moved into their own establishment. After repeated en-largements, the society moved to their own building on Astor Place, which was then so far uptown as to be considered almost a suburb of the city. The Bible House, which was the only building of its day to occupy an entire block In New York, national Bible society. Many nota-bles of the day were in attendance. Among them were Dr. Lyman Beccher, "the father of all the Beechers," James Fenimore Coop-er and Elias Boudinot, who as president of the Continental Con-gress had signed the peace treaty with Great Britain in 1789. Boudinot was elected the first president of the society. His was John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States supreme court. In later years, still another great supreme court chief Justice was to serve as of the society. Charles Evans was the show place of the city. To-day, although the Astor Plice Bible House Is still being used, main headquarters for the society is housed in a modern building on Park Avenue and 57th Street in New York. The number of Bibles, whole and In portions, printed by the Ameri-can Bible Society since their first edition of 10.000 Bibles in 1816 is staggering. During the Civil War period alone it issued in the United States 5,297.832 Scriptures, most of which were New Testaments for soldiers fighting on both sides. In its first 50 years, the American Bible Society had distributed volumes; in one hundred years, 123,292,359 copies of the Scriptures had been distributed. At the end of 135 years, 408,422,004 volumes nt the Krrintnrps iinrn distributed in 1.000 languages. And yet the distribution increases each year. "Never before has the Bible been so wanted," said Dr. Robert T. Taylor, general secretary of the society, at the 135th annual meeting held in New York recently. "The 1950 reports show a record distribution in almost every part of the world. In my ten years in the Bible Society I have been nur-tured on emergencies, but I have never seen anything like the present opportunities." Today the American Bible Society is a prime factor in making the Bible the least expensive and most widely distributed book in the world. In many languages, a Gos-pel may be had for as little as one cent and If the penny isn't avail-able, it may be had for nothing. It is America's most purchased book. It is the world's best seller. But it is more than that. Horace Greeley once said, "It is impossible in any wise to enslave a Bible-readin- g people." The Bible is a book of freedom. I CBDSSWOBH PUZZLE JS 1 ACROSS DOWN "v 14.

For the man who wants to shoot lots of rounds through a heavy caliber rifle, it is almost a must. A shell which sells for 27 cents apiece over the counter, can be reloaded for 5 to 7 cents, doing the work your-self. Besides the obvious argument of economy, handloading offers other advantages. If you want to use your .30-0- 6 for shooting gophers and prairie dogs, you can work up a minimum load which will give satis-factory performance on the small target, without sacrificing perform-snc- e. Factory shells limit the hunt-er as to his Choice of powder load-ing and bullet weight, but almost Infinite combinations are available !o the reload fan. For the target tnthusiast who desires pin point ccuracy, bullets are available for sandloading that are much superior !o anything loaded commercially. With national defense requirements Increasing the load on the factory loaders, it may soon be hard to get ihells, as it was in the war years. Save your empties and load them yourself, and you'll always have immunition to burn. Naturally, a man must know whnt ie is doing when he starts working vith gunpowder. Loading by guess ind by gosh can result In dangerous :omblnations which may ruin an xpenslve gun, or even cause the loss of an eye. The "Ideal Hand Book," put out by the Lyman Gun-iig- ht Corporation, of Middlefield, Connecticut, should be the first pur-:ha- se for any new handloader. It iv ill serve as a guide to safe and efficient handloading in all calibers. AAA SPORTLIGHT 1 I Baseball, 1951, Hard on Pitchers By GRANTLAND RICE J VETERAN pitcher was talk- - A lng about the troubles, trials, tribulations and woes that attack modern pitchers. "In the old days," he said, "up to 1920, pitchers were throwing a comparatively dead ball. Frank Baker earned his nickname of Home-ru- n Baker with nine home runs one season. Gil Hodges of the Dodgers already had nine this sea-io- n before the first month was over. "Today, a flock of ballplayers hit from 20 to 50 home runs a year. So doesn't quite work out that way. With the big purses thrown onto the scene, the art or science or luck of breeding has brought an In-vestment angle to the turf that is sound enough for many breeders to follow with a smile. For example, you can take the breeding farms of George Wldencr's Elmendorf Farm and Dale Shaffer's Coldstream btud at Lexington, Ky. An excited statistician bas fig-ured It out that In recent years these two breeding centers have old 374 yearlings. These horses won a total of $5,788,066, an average of $15,476 each. Their Aggregate selling price, we are Informed,, was $3,582,860, an average of $9,579 each. This is an average of some $5,000 per horse profit for the buyer, which In bulk Is m handsome dividend and encourages future sales. For many years Calumet, through purses and sales, passed a $1,000,000 or more rate each year. We have an Idea that no one the pitcher can't af-ford to give good hitters a good-lookin- g ball. They must work for the corn-ers, high and low. Also, there are too many short fences or walls where a pop fly is good for a home run. Gr.ntl.no Rxt "There's another matter that works against modern pitching. In the old days most of the good pitchers corn-Diete- d most of their carries. They stable will reach, or come close to reaching, the million dollar mark In 1951. Owner Jack Amiel has already lifted nearly $100,000 from the Derby. Great Rush won close to $150,000 in the Maturity Stakes, but this stable won't win very much more. Certainly, Mr. Amiel has no vision of a big clean-up- . Jimmy Jones finally got another win out of Coaltown, but Citation blew another start. You feel almost the same way about Citation as you do about Joe Louis. You remember great years and then to see these two brilliant floundering. Both at their peaks were rated with the best in the game. Now both have lost stature and prestige by their closing efforts to handle time. No one can handle time except the sun. Even clocks and calendars wear out. were allowed to give up a few hits, bases on balls and runs. But today it's different. After a hit and a base on balls the bullpen gets busy. At least two relief pitchers are hard at work. Somebody comes from the bench to talk it over with the pitch-er. The pitcher knows that one more hit or one more pass means his day's work is over. "I know what that feeling Is. , Ton begin tightening up. Ton start steering the ball, or try- - lng to steer It. Anyway, all your confidence Is gone. How many time this season have you seen one team nse from fonr to ' six pitchers? It happens a lot. , You're in a rongb spot when yon know you can't afford to i make one more mistake. Alex-ander, Mathewson, Johnson, , Young, etc., never had to face situations like that" It might be whispered, however, that Alexander. Matty, etc.. had a Natural Hitter "Just what is a natural hitter?" I once asked Johnny Mize. "I guess you just like to swing a bat," he said. "I know I always did. I learned to follow the ball with my eyes all the way." Johnny Mize was never a fast or an active man. He had a bad knee when he came to the Cardinals, was sent to the Reds, and came back to the Cardinals. He was supposed to be through with e baseball back in 1935. That was 16 years ago. But he'e's the Demorest De-mon back under the Big Tent in 1951, swinging one of the most dan-gerous bats in the game. The chances are that an odd col-lection known as Mantle, Morgan and Mize will have quite a bit to say about the Yankees continued suc-cess this season. much clearer idea of where the plate is located than most of the modern bunch. Alexander rarely gave anybody a good ball to hit. The same was true of Mathewson, until Matty got well ahead. Knowing he had to work In 40 or more games he always saved his arm when he had a good lead. "Now the outfielders can get in the game," he'd tell you. For example, tn 1908, Ed Walsh worked in 68 games, winning 40 and saving 10 others. Matty worked In well over 50 games, winning 37 and saving eight or ten others. When he pitched that play-of- f game in 1908 against the Cubs, he could just about lift his arm. Taking Out the Gamble Everything connected with racing Is supposed to be a gamble. It WRONG AND RIGHT CORNER By Richard H. Wilkinson I COURSE it was wrong for OFJohnny to kiss her and it was right for Jinny to slap his face. They stood there with the desk chair between I I them, staring at -- Minute each other for a 3 Fiction 1 u 1 1 moment. Jinny recovered first. She turned away and walked to the door with her head high and went out. Johnny sighed and sat down at his desk. He was amazed and dis-gusted with himself. Ten minutes ago he had been the practical ex-ecutive. He had rung for his secre- - tary, Miss Alyne, and a girl with titian colored hair and blue eyes had appeared instead. "I'm Jinny Alison," she explained matter-of-factl- "Miss Alyne is ill today and I'm taking her place." She had stood looking at him from the other side of the chair, and without saying a word he had reached out and pulled her toward him and kissed her, and she had slapped his face. Sitting at his desk Johnny wondered why he hadn't noticed Jinny Alison before. She must be new, he told himself. Te gestured angrily. What a fool he'd made of himself. He didn't believe in mixing busi-ness with well, with things like that. And, he told himself fiercely, he wasn't going to begin now. Miss Alison would have to be dismissed. He couldn't have a girl around whom he'd kissed and who might think of him as well, in that way. He stood up, grimly determined. The matter had better be attended to at once. Half way to the outer "I'm Jinny Alison," she ex-plained matter-of-factl- "Miss Alyne Is ill today and I'm taking her place." office he stopped short. Suppose Miss Alison had already quit? Probably she had. The possibility that this might be the case brought on a sense of panic. He rushed to the door and opened it, was vastly relieved to discover a titian-colore- d head bent over a desk close by the door. He went back to his own desk. Well, she hadn't quit and he wouldn't fire her. No, he decided to let her stay and ignore her entirely. During the remainder of the morning he put Miss Alison from his mind. When he had letters to dictate he rang for a stenographer in exaggerated unconcern. And when prim Abby Nathan appeared he told himself he was relieved. THAT night Johnny went to sleep Jinny out of his mind.. The next morning he reached the of-fice before nine. At 9:15 he opened the door of the outer office and breathed easy again when he saw that Jinny was at her post. At noon he looked toward her desk on his way out, caught her eye and felt strangely sick when she turned coldly away. During lunch he be-came pretty grim, admitting to him-self that he was making rather a mess of his resolve. Miss Alison would have to go. There was no use, he just couldn't concentrate with her on his conscience. It would solve the whole problem to have her out of his sight. His first act on reaching the of-fice was to call Miss Nathan and ask her to send in Miss Alison. Jinny, notebook in hand, entered and stood looking at him from the other side of the interview chair just as she had the day he had kissed her. "Miss Alison," he began, and topped. He cleared his throat Importantly, "Miss Alison, I've called yon In to to apologize for what happened the day be-fore yesterday." "Oh," said Jinny. "I don't want you to think," John-ny went on, scarcely recognizing hia own voice, "that I er kiss er act that way with all with other stenographers." "Oh, 1 don't," said Jinny, her eyes wide. "In fact," said Johnny, "you're the first one, I mean, well" He stopped, desperate, panicky, angry. "Miss Alison, you're fired!" "Oh!" said Jinny. Johnny gulped. "No. I don't mean that! What I mean is, I can't con-centrate unless unless we have an understanding. Oh. the devill That wasn't what I intended to say at aU. I mean. Miss Alison, would you like to go out to dinner with me?" Tt might be nice," Jinny agreed. Sensational! w..w.-r-- ..vy.,,wi..H,'-- ,. .,.M"; n That's the only word that ac-curately describes the effective-ness of Eddie Pope's "Hot Shot" lure shown above.

The largest number of pronghorn permits ever authorized by the Wyoming game and fish commis-lio-n 45,800 has been set up for 18 hunting areas. For the northeast-ern area alone, 30,000 permits will be on sale to resident and sportsmen alike and will be issued as requests are received, without reservation. Season for the northeast area will be from Septem-ber 2 through October 14. Regulations for 1951 provide that anyone entitled to receive a resident 3r nt antelope permit may buy a permit and make his kill in the area specified by his permit and may also buy a second permit for the northeast are to bag an idditional animal. Hunters may, of course, buy two permits for the Northeast Area and take their two antelope there. This northeast area is more than 13,000 square miles in extent. In-cluding all of Campbell county and parts of Johnson, Natrona, Con-verse, Weston, and Crook counties. It is easily reached by car, train, or plane, and visitors will find good accommodations in nearby commu-nities. Wyoming game laws do not require that antelope hunters be accompanied by a li-censed guide. The coming season will find more pronghorn hunters in the field than ever before in Wyoming's history. Their targets will be the survivors of the millions of antelope that lived on the plains of Kansas, Colo-rado, Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas during the lata 19th cen-tury. These herds have made a great comeback in Wyoming truly the "home of the pronghorn."

Patterson NOW THAT we have heard both I am convinced that Gen-eral MacArthur has the best of the argument, and it would seem that General Marshall, as spokesman for the administration, largely con-cedes that. What I still do not under-stand is why it was necessary to summarily relieve General Mac-Arth-of all of his duties in the far east, where his opponents admit he had done an outstanding Job. If the United Nations took excep-tion to his proposed methods, that organization could have asked Pres-ident Truman to have made a change in their field commander, for he was employed by the United Nations as supreme commander of its forces in Korea. That would have left Mac-Arth- ur In Japan where he had done a remarkable Job, and where he was needed, at least, until a Japanese peace treaty was completed. That would have saved for us man who General Marshall says Is better qualified to advise on military and diplomatic lines than any other man In the world y, and whom we need In directing and formulating a ar esterB policy. Through the senate investigation, the President may have molified many members of his party, to an extent that they will accept the ver-dict, whatever it may be. if any. But nationally, he has lost with the people much of the leadership he had previously enjoyed. If he had to fire general, why did he not exercise his authority on Gen. Harry Vaughn. His passing would not have been considered a serious loss, or regretted by any, other than the recipients of deep freeze units. The whole MacArthur incident has resulted only in a loss to the nation of a valuable, and specially talented administrator and soldier at a time when we are in sad need of such talents. While there are only seven Civil War veterans still living, the governr ment is paying out $6,000,000 a year in Civil War pensions, most of it going to 9,500 widows, and to 1,331 children of veterans. Many of our ills are caused by feeling sorry for ourselves. D e f e r s e mobilization director, Charles E. Wilson, a President Tru-man appointee, has made a new move in the way of socialistic cen-tralization of the government. He has instructed the governors of all. states, the mayors of all large cities, and the governments of all counties that they can not borrow money in excess of one million dollars with which to finance new, or uncomplet-ed projects, without first getting a clearance from his office. The first of such notices should have gone to the White House. The one individual most prone to start new, and unneeded projects is Mr. Wilson's big boss. President Tru-man. The next of such notices should have gone to congress. The states, cities and counties are but small fry In the matter ol un-necessary spending. How about the I'resiaem, and to congress, and especially to the congressional "pork" bill. Wilson holds a fed-eral job. His direction to the state, city and county govern-ments is a violation of the Con-stitution, and abridgement of the rights of local governments, Including those of the states. I know of some counties where that edict, if it could be made to stick, would be valuable to the peo-ple of those counties, but the prin-ciple is wrong. The place where it is most needed, and the people with whom it is most needed, are right there in Washington. How can we reconcile the World War HI wolf cry of y that is followed tomorrow with the optimis-tic assurance of approaching global peace? We have had such state-ments at intervals since the fight-ing stopped in Germany. So many times has the wolf cry been sound-ed, that the American people no longer believe in either. We do not get excited about them. To-da- y Joe Stalin is a deep-dye- d villian, tomor-row he is a fine old fellow, with only peace in his heart We have lost our fear of the big, bad wolf, We are spending billions on war preparations, but should the conflict come, we will not be ready.
