The Hon. John G. Winant
And The Bible
The Hon. John G. Winant,
Ambassador to Great Britian,
and a member of the Laymen's
National Sponsoring Committee
of the Worldwide Bible Reading
program, declares the Bible is
the source for material known
and understood by people in
all countries. From London he
has written .to the American
Bible Society: "On Thanksgiv
ing Day, 1944, we had a service
at Westminster Abbey in which
I was asked to read President
Roosevelt's Thanksgiving Proc
lamation.
"On three Thanksgiving Days
now the British have invited
the Americans to hold their
service in the Abbey. In the
past British people probably
have not thought much about
this American holiday. Now
there are many Americans here
who have told them of the
origin of Thanksgiving and the
customs which have grown up
around it. But through our re
ligious observance of the day
they have gained some under
standing of its real significance.
"Today we are trying to find
a basis for international under
standing. We know that the
human problems facing the
many nations are not different,
but variety in the ways we earn
our living, in the languages we
speak, in the schools we go to,
and in the books we read, and
in the manner of our thinking,
sometimes makes it hard for us
to speak a common language
and to agree on a common de
nominator. If we read carefully
and ponder well, we can find
in the Scriptures strength and
understanding to help us in our
great task."
James Wayne Hicks, of High
lands, enlisted into the regular
army on November 16.
Spraying the bed mattress
with a suitable DDT prepara
tion is all that is needed for the
control of bedbugs, although a
more general treatment of in

bugs sooner.
