Christian people have been rising at 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. for group Bible Study before -going out to their daily work in an in- creasingly hostile atmosphere. Interest in Bible reading has resulted in increased interest in Bible distribution. The Hungar- ian Bible Council, now a member of the United Bible Societies,., took over from the British and Foreign Bible SOciety seven years ago. The British and Foreign Bible Society had worked in the count- ry since 1811. Since the Hungarian Society as- sinned direction of Bible printing and distribution a yearly gift of 50 tons of Bible paper has been given by the British' and` Foreign Bible Society and the American Bible Society jointly. This year the quantity was increased' to 82 tons—a contribution of about $35,000.00. Since money to pay for this paper could not leave the country the Hungarian.

What we are expresSing is horror at the thought that, a town—which quibbles over a $60 expense account for a legitimate purpose—un- :thinkingly turns over $17,000 and more each year to the collegiate board, and does not take enough interest in that money to even ask where it was spent. This is not the.first time we have discussed this strange state of affairs, .Faced' With the lack of interest in this on the part of the tax- payers, it would seem• that we, may be making "much ado 'about nothing". But we believe that basically the idea be- hind the setting up of the district. boards was wrong. It permits administration of public, funds without adequate -enforcement • of respon- sibility to the community by the administrators. Some 25 major requests for ag- riculture were placed. before Premier Frost and 'his Cabinet today, December 6, by the, Board of 'Governors of the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture. These requests were contained in a hefty brief which is present- ed annually to the Ontario Gov- ernment by the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture, a, co-ordinat- ing body with membership from some 104 farm organizations rep- resenting over 100,000 Ontario. farmer. In, its preamble the brief poin- ted out that Ontario farmers are enabled to solve many of their major problems on the basis of "self-help" through -their market- ing boards, their co-operatives, and other organizations. "Through this policy," the brief stated, "we believe that not only are we ren- dering a service to Ontario far- mers, but to our total economy. Our self-help philosophy relieves the government of embarrassing demands for excessive subsidies, and other forms of State-paternal- ism Which appear to be' ratim com'rhon-place other countriee Topping- the list of requests to the, government were demandg for overhauling of the Ontario Gas Pipe Irines"Act• a revision of On-: tario Hy-dro's basic compensation schedule for purchasing farm land; that formida-prichig. for butter be inatituted along lines similar to present-day formula pricing for fluid milk; and, that 'an Order-In-Council be passed to establish a 'stabilization fund and program for Ontario's dairy in- dustry. Other major requests included a demand that capital costs of new schOol buildings be borne by provincial or federal governments, er by both; that a system for dis- aster relief of Ontario agricultare be established; and that the On- tario? government greatly expand the program of the Economics Department of the Ontario Agri- cultural College. The brief expressed doubt that agriculture's net income position in Ontario relative to other groups in the econaany Will im- prove very_ much • in the coming year. It urged the Ontario gov- ernment to .investigate whether or not adequate credit facilities are available to Ontario farmers. O.
