...snarled Easter-weekend traffic as they made their annual trek 54 miles east to London, winding up for a 100,000-man rally beneath the stern statue of Lord Nelson in Trafalgar Square. Last week the ban-the-bombers turned their attention to Holy Loch, a tiny inlet on Scotland's Firth of Clyde. The 18,500-ton tender Proteus was due to dock there and remain on permanent station to service the U.S. fleet of Polaris-bearing atomic submarines. More than 200 newsmen turned out expecting a lively demonstration...
Cessna, which has long made hydraulic equipment for farm machinery, this month will start up a new hydraulics plant in Glenrothes, Scotland. It is expanding the product line of Aircraft Radio Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary in Boonton, N.J., to include radios for all size airplanes.

In 1946 a group of delegates from the Church of England, the Church of Scotland, and Britain's Methodist, Baptist and Congregational churches unanimously agreed that what was needed was not a revision but a completely new translation...
...possibly go wrong goes as wrong as possible, but somehow the charitable criminals manage to creak home with half their haul-the other half is absentmindedly left in a taxi. Stumbling and bumbling from success to hilarious success, the mink mob is soon established as the despair of Scotland Yard and the hope of innumerable philanthropies-including the police orphanage. At the fade, four suspicious characters, dressed in the Renaissance knickers worn by guards in the Tower of London, can be seen slouching purposefully toward the Crown Jewels...
