Refreshments were served by mothers of sixth grade students. paste pot and a lot of patience has completed the formidable task of editing the Bible into a version less than a third its usual length. "I am not a theologian and not even a Sunday School teach er," Margaret Nicholson, editor of "The Cdmpact Bible,"- said. She pencilled, snipped and pasted sections of half a dozen different copies of the King James version to put together her volume, which totals ap proximately 200,000 words. The King James version has 774, 746 words. Miss Nicholson, the daughter of a missionary and for many years a top editor with a pub lishing company, began the job two years ago. "The Compact Bible" will be published today by Hawthorne Press. -Twice Read Before Cutting The first two months of her task she spent at her farm near Hillsdale, N.Y., "seven miles from my nearest neighbor," con centrating on the Bible. She'd read it through twice before, but she'd never done any seri ous Bible study. "I began with a half dozen inexpensive copies of the Bible," Miss Nicholson explained. "The first copy I read through, cross ing out verses with a pencil when my interest seemed to go." . She decided early in the task that she wasn't going to try to create a historian's bible or a scholar's bible, but a vol ume which might tempt more people to begin with Genesis and read all the way through Revelations, not missing any of the essential story of the Bible, but skipping tedious passages. Re-Clipped the Verses "The second copy of my bibles I started clipping out verses I WANTED TO USE," Miss Nicholson continued. "I put them on sheets of paper first with scotch tape, so I could re move them, and later pasted them down." Each book of the Bible is in cluded, and each verse that is used is complete. Unobtrusive numbers at the side of the pages give the numbers of chapters and verses, so readers wiil know when sections are missing. "Some chapters, like Ruth, I cut very little," the editor said. "Psalms I just had to be auto cratic with. I tried to pick the most familiar psalms and also those which are most beautiful and not so familiar. "I cut without qualms the things that were interesting as r history ' but not so interesting as reading," she said. "I tried to save the story - value, the most moving passages from a literature point of view and the great inspirational passages." Successful Candidate Learns Salary Pared Binghampton. N.Y. (U.R) When Charles Root announced his candidacy as supervisor for the town of Windsor last June, the job paid $2,500 a year. He was elected Nov. 2, only to find the town board had cut the pay to $1,700 a year, starting Jan. 1 when he took office. The retiring supervisor, Ben jamin Hughes, said the board's action was "logical." "When a man starts . college, he doesn't join the senior class," said Hughes. "When I became supervisor in 1946, the . pay was $1,200." Season SPRING SHO LETS Look Slim, Trim! 42-2va Half-sizers! Play in, work in, keep cool in this pretty dress that's frosted with embroidery!
