The Tigers put up a spirited battle only to have their efforts come to % naught. JOSE PLA, age 91, died Friday, October 15, at Monroe General Hospital. Father of 16 children, he is survived by 7, and more than 100 great and great-grand- children. Funeral services were conducted Monday, October 20, at St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Catho- lie Church.

The Fort Pierce - Douglass game was hard fought throughout, how- ever, the Greyhounds struck with end-arounds that packed a great \deal of power as they advanced , into the Douglass secondary. The Greyhounds scored in the first and jthird quarters. Two other touch- downs by the upstate boys were erased because of penalties. The game ending plays were spine tingling for followers of the Fort Street School. The Lincoln Park Academy Band put on an impressive half time show. The theme of the Fort Pierce half time show was “American In- stitutions” freedom of worship, freedom of the press, freedom to play, and to climax these was the formation of the Statue of Liberty. The Douglass band and Major- ettes had as its theme “T-4-2.” Majorettes, and the Green and White band formed huge symbols on the gridiron to the strains of “Tea For Two.” The half time show proved to be as interesting as the game. Spec- tators gave round after round of applause to both aggregations. This week end the Douglass Tig- ers engage the Stuart County Train- ing School of Stuart.

National Bible Week Observed This is National Bible Week and well should it be observed for this great book is the best seller of all books ever written. It has become a way of life for all who choose to live right. This question often arises, ‘What Is the Bible?” In the derivation of our word, Bible, lies its definition. It comes from the Greek word, biblion which in its plural biblia signifies “‘little books.”’ The Bible is actually a col- lection of little books, of every sort, and description, written over a long period of time, the very earliest dating, in part at least, as far back as 1200 B.C. or perhaps even earlier; th latest as late as 150 A.D. In its rich and manifold nature it might be called a library of Hebrew literature; in its slow production over a period of many centuries it might be termed a survey of that literature to be un- derstood as we understand a sur- vey of English literature, in which we become familiar with types of English prose and from Anglo-Saxon times to the twentieth century. The Bible, in the form in which most of us wisely read it, the King James, or Authorized, Version, has | ¥' been called by John Livingstone Lowes ‘‘the noblest monument of English . ‘These stories of men and women, old and young, although they oc- cupy a large portion of the Bible, are only one of its many literary forms. There is poetry in the Bible. In addition to the ancient songs al- ready spoken of, there are lyrical love songs, odes, laments, hymns of all kinds, both secular and re- ligious dramatic monologues, and, above all else, the exalted poetry of the prophets and of the book of Job. There is at least one great dra- ma in the Bible, that contained in the book of Revelation, with its majestic and awful stage settings, its celestial actors, its solemn acts and scenes. And there are a score of tragedies which, if placed in dramatic form would rival Othello or Hamlet on Broadway. Thare are great biographers a- mong the bibilical writers. such as Baruch who wrote the biography of the prophet Jeremiah and whose copy of it was cut in pieces by King Jehoachim’s pen-knife and thrown into the open fire on a cold December day. The best letters ever written are in the Bible, and St. Paul is the author of them, a more vivid let- ter writer than even Horace Wal- pole or Lord Chesterfield. There are countless proverbs in the Bible, many contained in the book bearing their name, others scattered elsewhere, maxims and aphorisms, some of great antiqui- ty, some of other origin than Jew- ish. There are two philosophers in the Bible, both of whom give to us mingled prose and poetry, their questions and their conclusion con- cerning-the meaning of life and the ways of God with men. The Bible is a collection, a lib- rary of various books, reflecting and illuminating the long life of a small, yet a great. people. The language of the Bible, now simple and direct in its homely vigour, now sonorous and stately in its richness, has placed its in- delible stamp upon our best writ- ers from Bacon to Lincoln and even to the present day. The Bible belongs among the noblest and most indispensable of our humanistic and literary tradi- tions. No liberal education is truly liberal without it. To all English - speaking peoples the Bible is a national as well as a noble monument, for much of their history is securely rooted and anchored within it. In 17th century England it nurtured the Puritan re- volt and paved the way for the Bill of Rights. And lastly, the Bible in its slow, patient evolution is' the noblest rec- ord in any language or the hearts and the minds of men. Those who wrote it and those of whom it was written thought and wondered over the eterna: questions of life and death, of man’s lot upon this earth, and of his ultimate destiny. Amos on the Tekoan hills, the Great Is- aiah by the waters of Shiloah and the Second Isaiah by those of Ba- bylon, Job in the dust with his sen- tentious friends, “physicians of 10 value” to him, St. John on the island of Patmos, Daniel by the river of Ulai — these were men Community Chest Drive Gets Funds To Support USO Clubs To Appear In Librarian Group Meets At FAMU TALLAHASSEE — (Special) — “The Library and Its Effective- ness in an Educational Institution” was the subjéct of a highly infor- mative and provocative message delivered by Dean D. Eric Moore of the North Carotina College school of library science here last Friday. Speaking before the members of the Florida Sate Library associa- tion at their annual fall meeting which was held at Florida A and M University, Dean Moore said, “During the past two decades, col- lege and university presidents, pub- lie school superintendents and prin- cipals, school and college faculties, librarians and educational founda- tions and associations have striven to improve the effectiveness of the American school and college edu- cational program through the im- provement of the school and college library.” 3 Some 65 librarians from through- out the state attended the confab which began with a conference committee meeting Wednesday eve- ning and ended with an editorial committee meeting Saturday at noon. Theme for the meeting was “The Librarian and Public Rela- tions.” Miss Emily Copeland, head of the A and M department of lib- rary service, is president of the ‘SLA. University President George W. Gore, Jr., welcomed the visitors to the campus at the initial Friday morning session. Others who ex- tended greetings were Dr. T. Q. Shrigley, educational director of children’s books for the E. M. Hale Company, and Dr. G. T. Porter, executive secretary for the Flori- da State Teachers Association. The initial speaker for the open- ing session Friday morning was Charles J. Smith, Ill, director sf public relations at the university, who spoke from the subject, ‘‘The Meaning of Public Relations.” He was followed by A. L. Kidd, asso- ciate dean of the college of arts and sciences who had as his sub- et, “Developing Skills in Human Relations.” Two sectional meetings were held Friday afternoon designed for school and college and public lib- rarians, The, topic for the school librarians section. was ‘‘A Public Relations Program for the School Library.” Participants included Mrs, Sarah Kretzman Shrigley and Dr. Samella Lewis. Dean Moore and Dr. Dorothy Dodd participat- ed in the second sectional meeting which had as its topic, “Library Staff and Teacher Cooperation as a Public Relations Device.” President Copeland announced at the conclusion of the meeting that three county library organizations have been formed in Marion, Pinel- las, and Duval counties. She also disclosed that the association will sponsor three sectional workshops which will serve as a guide for future county workshops, and that the association adopted its revised constitution. Dean Moore said, “Librarians are being admitted to faculties and recognized as teachers even though they do not operate in classrooms or laboratories, for they are work- ing with classroom teachers and students to make the library a teaching instrument. “In American higher education we have some striking institutions in which the work of classroom and library are so thoroughly integrat- ed that the student does not realize any clear separation between the two. In them the teacher often holds classes in some portion of the library building or books are taken to the classroom building so this instruction goes on in the midst of books.” It was ‘the speaker’s thesis that the library is the facility of any educational institution that stands as the repository of the sum total of mankind’s knowledge and skills, Greater utilization of the facility is to be desired and encouraged by fhe librarian.

McConnaughey of Ohio to be chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. gy, of dreams and of visions who strug- pet i the questions that beset us True it was that these men liv- ed centuries ago; yet, we who live today still find hope and an ans- wer to many questions if we read this wonderful book. The world of today realizes this fact and it is for this reason that it is against turning to the Bible as a way of life, Read it and find peace! Last night over the “Search That Never Ends” sponsored by the Met- Topolitan Life Insurance Company with broadcasting rights over the} Mutual Station, I heard a story on lonesomeness. . .This dealt with a young enlisted soldier far away from home. He was lonesome and as he walked the streets many in-, ducements for sin were offered. There were women of ill repute offering him company, gamblers with invitations to card'games and sharpers of every sort calling: out to end his loneliness. This boy, however, was not in for this sort of life. He kept on “walking and finally reached a U. S. O. Here he met the type of people who really made him feel at home and were interested in his welfare. The Community Chest Drive is on and one of the organizations benefiting greatly through it is the U. S. O. Support this drive so that the U. S.

The Community Servicemen’s Center located at 711 Whitehead Street, was organized October 27, 1952, by a group headed by Chaplain Roy C. Tindall, U. S. N. and Wallace Coleman, U. S. N. As representatives of the group they brought the idea before sev- eral outstanding citizens that a place was needed for the young en- listed personnel and their families to go for enjoyment. A letter was written to Captain Buckley, asking for $1,500 which was granted. The V. F. W. paid the rent on the building selected to be used for three months before the money was received.

Six months previously Miss An- derson made a ten week tour of} England and Scandinavia. In Swe- den King Gustav Adolph honored | her with the “Litteris et Artibus” medal, one of the nation’s highest awards, and in London 12,000 peo- ple packed Royal Albert Hall for her two concerts there. It was in Europe that the con- tralto first began a career unique in musical history. Toscanini, hear- | ing her in Salzburg, raved: “A voice like yours is heard once in a hundred years.” In Finland, Sibel- lius, the world famous composer, exclaimed: “‘The roof of my house is too low for your voice!” S. Hu- rock, hearing Miss Anderson in Pa- ris persuaded her to return to the United States for her memorable New York re-appearance. One of the most celebrated of living artist, Miss Anderson has performed some 1,200 concerts be- fore more than 5,000,000 persons.
