STANTON Wanna play a game? We've just been looking at a new game one which can be easy or hard, depending upon the style of play. It has the pattern of the very popular radio quiz programs the ?64 question and even has a put-and-take treasure pot. This new game is known as "Worth" and is the invention of Mrs. Louis Albert (Florence Aiken) Banks, Roseburg author. "Worth" is printed in book form by the Review and Herald Publishing Co., Washington, D. C, a company having a world-wide distribution organization. "Worth" is a Bible character quiz game. Over a long period of years Mrs. Banks has compiled 688 questions pertaining to Biblical characters, and has listed them under four grades with awards in multiples of five for each question answered correctly. Thus each .question has an award value of 5, 10, 15 or 20 points. The book contains sheets of numbered counters to be used by players, To forestall any claim of irreverence, all questions that would have for answer cither the name Jesus, or the name Mary have been omitted. The book contains no sectarian bias, dogma, prejudice, wisecracks, or personal opinion. Mrs. Banks reports she has had the plan for the book in mind for many years. In fact, she has played it numerous times in her home and in her work with various religious groups but found that a good many players were embarrassed because questions too frequently exposed unfamiliarity with some of the Biblical characters included in the list. This situation caused her to withhold publication of the game until she conceived the idea for a more simple style of play which would not expose the ignorance of players but would serve an educational purpose, at the same time maintaining interest through the element of chance, thus making the game ideal for younger players, Questions and answers are listed on each page, each ques tion bearing its award value. In the simplified form, a player inserts a thumb or finger at random into the book at any page, and announces the "worth" of the question thus selected. Each player then puts in the "treasury" a counter of the same value as the question. The player, after reading both the question and the answer, takes the counters from the "treasury" and passes the book to the next player. As the game progresses some players will gain and others lose in point score. As one player's "store" is exhausted, he must drop out, and the winner is the player having the most points at the end of the game, The contest, however, also is adapted to more advanced use by adults who would increase their knowledge of the Bible, as in the more difficult style of play the reader, after selecting the question at random by inserting a thumb or finger in the closed book, determines the "worth" of the question, and places that amount in the "treasury" from his own "store." If the player on the reader's left answers the question correctly, he picks up the points. If he cannot answer, he must pay an equal amount. If ho answers in correctly, he must pay double forfeit. The question then makes the round of players and the first to answer correctly wins all tokens in the "treasury." If none answers cor rectly, the reader wins. Mrs. Banks reports much interest in the book since it was submitted to the publishers. The concern has committees throughout many countries, and each committee is required to review proposed publications before they go into print. Mrs. Banks reports unanimous approval from the many reviewing groups and has received numerous letters of commendation. We predict the book will find widespread use, particularly in the field of religious education, as it offers an interesting medium in teaching Biblical characters and Biblical stories, while preserving the interest obtainable through competition. Personally, we don't intend to play. After looking over an advance copy we know we would go "broke" in the first two pages. c i 7 !

Not only did she descrllw pic turesquely the many scenes of Interest, out she told humorously of sharing a sent In the plane with John Steinbeck, noted writer of "Grapes of Wrath" and other works. , She spoke of mooting Rosehurg's own Harris Ellsworth In Panama, and she told of her difficulties In conversing with the Spnnlsh and Portuguese speaking natives. Her trip took her to Quito, Equador; Lima, Peru; Into the lands of the Ineas, where she saw the ruins of the ancient cities and also the spilling llamas and al pacas; on to Lake Titacaca, high est navigable fresh water lake In ine world at 14,000 feet; to I.a Pas.

FINED FOR ASSAULT Garold Franklin Yowell, 28, Roseburg, was fined $M on a charge of assault and batten', when arraigned in Justice Court Wednesday, reported Justice of Peace A. J. Geildes. He was ar rested hy sheriffs deputies June 14 at North Side Cafe. He was committed to the county Jail In lieu of payment of the fine. We hope that Sunday, In Aus tin, Texas, was what Mama would have called 'a right pretty day.' All of her family, except her eldest son and his wife, were there . . . Mama was in her 87th year. There was always something about the weather in her letters which we so loved to receive; maybe It was because of the years when the weather was so Important, as it Is to everyone on farms. Once when the cotton crop was ready for picking the next day, a storm came up: the wind and the rain pounded every bit Into the mud. "I can see Ma ma now," EJ will say, "Standing at the window, looking out and crying'. , ." But I know Mama's simple faith and her courage saw her through that, and all the other experiences that would come to a woman who has borne nine children. She and Papa managed some way so that, In later years. It Is of their 'good times,' the tricks and the fun, the 'gang' talk when they get together, or In letters. Mama loved to laugh, and she was never severe with them. "She always rocked us kids," someone will say, "and she rock ed Charles till his feet nearly touched the floor!" (Charles was her last baby.) She knew noth ing of modern child psychology, but she gave to her children, without thinking a thing about It, that precious something which child welfare experts now urge children be given: as she rocked them she loved them and they felt that sense of security so necessary to child happiness. She was the kind of mother whose wings. of love could cover an indefinite number of children. From the very first I felt I had my own place with her. "She never speaks of one of the chil dren she always pairs them up!" a sister wrote a few weeks ago. Perhaps that Is one reason her daughters-in-law have been so fond of her? She never thought of the son as separate from his wife; never wrote one alone; always to both! "She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and In her tongue Is the law of kindness. . . Her children arise up and call her blessed," new scheme proposed this year by the Democrats. The Des Moines dispatch adds: "In brief, the Brannan (new Democratic) plan would promise the farmers higher returns than the Aiken (Republican) law. Like wise, It would permit somewhat lower consumer prices on surplus prices on surplus perishable products." IGHER prices for the farmer. Lower prices for the consumer. ALL TO BE BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE WAY YOU VOTE. The way you run your farm or the way you run your family budget has nothing to do with it. No urging of people to be thrifty. No watching of the sales to see where you can buy to the best advantage. . JUST VOTE RIGHT AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY. Isn't modern life wonderful? f THIS writer, a lifelong Repub- I lican and a firm believer In looking out for yourself, Is more or less compelled to admit that as between paying the farmer high prices out of the Treasury and still charging the consumer high prices for the product and the simpler Brannan scheme to buy It from the farmer high and sell It to the consumer cheap theie Is something to be said for the latter. If the government is going to be Santa Claus, we'd bet ter have a simple Santa Claus.) N the latest news there are two I strange and TRAGIC little stories. Up In Yakima (Wash.) a father beats his 41-year-old daughter with a two-foot heavy stick "be cause she refused to eat and wouldn't talk to him when he tried to reason with her." The hospital, where she was taken for care, reports that both of her eyes were swollen shut and her skull was "almost pulpy." (The hospital reports Indicate that she will probably recover.) Back In Lancaster (Pa.) a 14-year-old baby sitter beats the six-year-old boy for whom she was caring to death with a piece of wood two inches thick and about 16 Inches long. The sitter was angered, she explained to the police, because the child shut off the current to an electric, washing machine after being told not to. WHAT does It all mean? I don't know. But both cases indicate an utter lack of any sense of RESPONSIBILITY. Even a 14-year-old baby sitter owes SOME responsibility to the Additional Bus Service Begun On Greyhound Lines Additional fast limited bus service between Roseburg and Portland. Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco . was an nounced by Pacific Greyhound Lines, to become effective todav, June 16. Deluxe air-conditioned buses will be used on these sched ules, according to Andrew J. Mur ray, Greyhound agent in Rose burg. Stops will be made only at principle cities enroute and all space is reserved. No extra fare will be charged on these limlteds. Murray stated there will be three daily round-trip limited schedules between Roseburg and Portland-Seattle, two limited daily each way between Roseburg and Los Angeles, and one dally round-trip limited between this city and San Francisco. Another brand-new Grevhound service will be a through schedule i daily between Roseburg and : Reno, via Klamath Falls, with di- I rect connections at Reno to Salt Lake City and points East and to ! Las Vegas, Phoenix and points ' South, Murray explained. i Bible School Will Close With Public Program The annual Vacation Daily Bible School in progress at the First Christian Church will con clude with a public program at 8 p. m.
