As each group of officers stood at the chancel steps the rector, outlined the duties of the various of­ fices and the promise that each of­ ficer would accept the office and ful­ fill its responsibilities. Taking his text from the hook of the Prpphet Micah. Mr. Parker stress­ ed the need for .each officer to realize that he was responsible to God for the work of his office. Mr. Parker then brought out the need for each person to allow his. spiritual perception to show him the need for clergy and the responsibility for placing that need before the young men of the parish. This brought in the thought of Theo­ logical Education Sunday which was being observed throughout the Church of England in Canada. The offering placed in the special envelopes will be used towards the parish's share in the Huron College. Fund. A list of the officers of St. Paul’s appears in another place in this issue.

Something new has been added the life of the weekly newspaper, far removed in this atom age from traditional aura of the cracker barrel and the pot-bellied stove. Growing Ad Medium The bank’s monthly newsletter says: “Use of weekly newspapers for ad­ vertising has been growing steadily, not only among local merchants but among concerns that advertise in all parts of the country. These national advertisers are realizing that the good coverage given local tradesmen would be equally good for them. “This is not to say that the weekly press is something new, but only that it is entering upon a new era, with advertisers and their agents showing new appreciation of its worth. “The first newspaper published in Canada was The Halifax Gazette dat­ ed March 23, 1752, and the first paper printed entirely in French was Le Canadien of November 22, 1806. The . years between those two dates and today have witnessed a satisfying growth in the number and quality of our newspapers.” 82 Per Cent Coverage Canada’s ^63 weekly newspapers have a combined circulation of 2,457,- 140, the newsletter says. Some dis­ tribute a few hundred copies every week, while others have a circulation in the thousands. The growth of sub­ urban communities was a boon to weeklies. An article written by W. H. Cran­ ston, publisher of The Midland Free Press Herald, is quoted to show that the average paper represented in the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Associ­ ation covers 82 per cent of the homes in its trading era. The average paper had a net paid circulation of nearly 1,500 a week and is produced by a staff of less than 10. The staff usually includes the owner, who may be publisher, editor, printing foreman,* advertising salesman and general caretaker combined. The newsletter says: “There are few" millionaires among the 535 publishers who are members of the CWNA, but every weekly newspaper represents a respectable amount of capital for the size of its town. “It is, usually, a family enterprise with strong bonds of community loy­ alty. Ninety-five per cent of editors of weekly newspapers had served one or more terms as president of the local Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade, 45 per cent had been mayor or reeve, or held other high elective of­ fice, 97 per cent were members of a service club, and 90 per cent had serv­ ed as club president.” Readership Paramount W. Telfer, managing director of the CWNA, Is quoted as writing: “If someone asked me to list the virtues of the weekly press, I would give readership the prime position. Any paper, if it is to be influential, must not only have subscribers— it must have subscribers who read it thoroughly. “My oWn opinions and those of many readers and publishers with whom I have talked, make it appear that the weekly newspapers have per­ haps a better claim to this criterion of Worth than other newspapers, to Worship by English follow- read by Mrs. William A.
