S. T. C. museum. This remarkable Bible which has been loaned to the Historical As- sociation by C. E. Mesick, Aberdeen, South Dakota, was discovered in the museum by Dr. Katherine McLennan Love. The uniqueness of this Bible lies in the fact that every page was made from a special wooden block. Books printed by this method are very rare as they require much time, work, and skill. Dr. Love, who had translated from a similar Bible while she was in Heidelberg, Germany, stated, "The fact that two guards re- mained in the room while I was translating from that Bible shows the significance and value of this rare book." November 21, Date Set For Production Combining mystery, comedy and suspense, Labarnum Grove, Nor- thern's first stage production of the season, promises real enter- tainment for its audience on Friday, November 21. Rehearsals are being held regularly and Nicholas DeBilzan, recently appointed ad- vertising manager, reports that the cast will be ready to give a fine performance by next week. According to dramatic critics, Labarnum Grove is the latest work in subtle and amusing mystery. George Radfern, played by Miriam Smith, lives his quiet and uneventful life in a small house near London. He is burdened by relatives on his hands who are sponging on him and always trying to borrow money. In addition to these is his prospective son-in-law, who is equally importunate. George throws dynamite into their midst by the quiet announcement that he is one of the high-ups in a large counterfeit ring. Needless to say, the spongers find all sorts of excuses for going elsewhere. In the meantime George's immediate family react according to their re- spective characters, until toward the end it looks as though George has been spoofing them all the time. However, the end holds one of the most striking surprise endings that has ever been used in a mystery play. DR. HANSEN TO REVIEW LATE BOOK Dr. M. W. Hansen, instructor of history, will discuss Clarence Streit's new book, "Union Now With Briton," at the Social Science club meeting Wednesday evening at 7:30 in C-118.
