We always did carry too little insurance. And today we probably carry a heck of a lot too little, because replace­ ment value of our homes has shot up (the national average of increase since 1939 is 45 per cent.) and we’ve let our* insurance stand at pre-war levels. This is dilatory, darn foolish and dangerous, If your house burned tonight, would you want only enough insurance money to rebuild only about two-fifths of it? Don’t kid yourself about this discrepancy. Ask a con­ tractor to give you a rough idea as to what he’d charge you to rebuild. You’ll get the answer which will probably shock you into upping your insurance immediately. This would be a good time to revise your values. Bring your insurance up to date. W.

Williams The Twelfth General Council of th© United Church of 'Canada, at Its session In Montreal last month, passed the following resolution re­ specting 'Temperance Education; “Where the use of beverage al­ cohol has assumed flood-like pro­ portions in our country causing great economic wastage and also involving social wastage through the wrecking of home life and the unfitting Of many for life’s duties. And whereaas St. Paul declared, “It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything where­ by thy brother stumbleth, or is of­ fended, or is made weak” (Romans 14:21). “Wherefore, if meat made my brother to offend, X will eat no flesh while the world stamdeth, lest I make my brother to offend.” (1 Cor. 8:13). And Whereas in the consideration ■of this problem there ar© certain underlying factors which must he seriously regarded, among them the following; ' That many of our church people do not make the use of beverage alcohol a moral issue; That many people regard the use of beverage alcohol an integral part of gatherings such as wed­ dings, baptisms, and various festive occasions; That many people, while not ad­ dicted to the use of beverage alco­ hol themselves, feel that they are socially bound to offer hospitality to their friends and guests in the form of beverage alcohol; among such guests often are young folk who thus partake for the first time; That many people, likewise, rather than .give offence to their hosts op hostesses feel the neces­ sity of partaking, thus helping to create an appetite for beverage al­ cohol, the end of which no one can foresee; Therefore be it resolved that this Council: (1) Unequivocally declare -that in view of the widespread1 wreck­ age of humanity caused by the use of beverage alcohol, it is a moral issue, and thus calls upon each and every member of our Communion to face this fact and the issues in­ volved ; (2) Challenges every member of the United Church to set a Christ­ ian example of total abstinence, -be- . lieving that it is the only wise and safe course to be followed; (3) Calls upon all United Church members to refrain, from offering cooktails or other drinks containing beverage alcohol to their 'guests on any occasion whatsoever; (4) Galls upon -all United Church members to refrain in any way from investing their money in or becom­ ing directors of corporations whose business is in whole or in part .the production .and . sale of alcoholic beverages; (5) Express gratification at the decision of the'Privy Council in up­ holding the validity of the Canada Temperance Act; (6) In the field of education, urge (a) all ministers and sessions to form temperance committees composed of representatives -of every activity in the Church, includ­ ing the Young Adult Group, which committees should be study circles to educate themselves on the mod­ ern approach to the alcohol prob­ lem and to introduce a comprehn- sive plan of education suited to each .group in the Church; (b) the. Religious Education Council of Canada to produce and popularize a teacher-training course in-temp-' erance education; (c) each Provin­ cial Government place a qualified person in its Department of Educa­ tion, to butline an effective method of Temperance Education in the primary, secondary and . Normal Schools. It is suggested that such a person might Well be sent to the Yale iSchool of Alcohol Studies. (7) Urge the appointment of a Federal Royal Commission to in­ vestigate and report on the manu­ facture, sale, ,and distribution of beverage alcohol in Canada. (8) Urge provincial governments to vote from their profits on liquor sales sufficient sums annually to provide adequate hospital care and scientifically conducted clinics for the rehabilitation of alcoholics.
