December 81, 1042. PE ———————— Odd and CURIOUS in the NEWS EIGHT GRANDPARENTS Christmas gifts from eight grandparents were showered upon two-weeks-old James Elry Anderson of Emporium. He did- n't mind it at all, he cooed Fri- day. The grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Ed Anderson, of Port Allegany, and Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Close, of West Creek. His two sels of great-grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Burt Close, of Em- porium, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Craven, of nearby North Creek. The latter are the parents of the child's grandmother, Mrs, H. E. Close. BRIDGE LOST The girl at the Towanda ele- graph office couldn't believe her eyes Friday when James Tuffy, theater manager, hended her a telegram reading: “Brooklyn Bridge lost in transit.” She hadn't heard it was being ship- ped anywhere, let alone to To- wanda. When Mr. Tuffy got the message hetoo, was perplexed but in a different way. He had to make hasty arrangements for a stubstitute movie to fill the holiday bill HOMESICK YOUTH When Robert B, Hess, 19-year- old government project worker at Chambersburg, gets homesick he goes home. State Motor Po- lice, after finding a missing truck a Bloomsburg, questioned Hess at his home. He told them he used the 7-ton truck to drive home last Thursday when he got homesick, and intended to return it this week. ANNA DOWNS DOWN When a sympathetic observer said to a Bloomsburg young wo- man whose knee was badly lac- erated in a fall, “It's tough go- ing!” she hastened to agree: “I'll say it is. I've fallen down six times thus far.” When a by- stander inquired: “What's your name?” she replied “Anna Downs.” BIBLE GOES TO WAR Wayne Fellows’ grandfather carried a Bible through the War between the States. An uncle had the same Bible in the World War. And now Wayne, of Stock- ton, Mo., in an army camp on the west coast, has the Bible in his possession. It is more than 100 years old.

Governor Harold E. Stassen, of Minnesota, has been elected presi- dent of the International Council of Religious education, with headquar- ters in Chicago. He succeeds the late Russell Colgate, businessman and philanthropist The men's Bible class of the First Presbyterian church, Ardmore, Okla. is sponsoring a service man's center About one hundred men and women have been appointed hosts and hos- tesses: one couple serves for a per- fod each month, When a soldier, sailor or marine signs the register of the club and gives his home ad- dress, the Rev. Horace C. Casey, pas- tor, writes the service man's family that he has visited this church. The idea is spreading to other parishes. * * * . Reports from Europe indicate that the Quisling authorities in Norway have recently forbidden paper sup- plies to the Norwegian Bible Society. Its circulation of scriptures last year was exceptionally large. There has been a new printing and wide dis- tribution of the Bible in Hungary. The War Emergency Pund of the American Bible Society Is making possible the printing and distribu- tion of Bibles, Testaments and gos- pel portions in Czecho-Slovakia. There has also been recent calls for the printing of new Bibles in Italian, in Spanish, and in Polish, and funds for these will probably be supplied through the American Bible Society. ‘and Mt.
