The Bible Todau By Rev. G. D. Parson, 13.A.,
,” See, Upper Canada 'lade Seelet•Y
The day has come in the Far
East when a Hindu says to a Mus-
lim, "My brother, it is your Chris-
tian duty to do that," Such a de-
claration comes largely through the
influence of the Bible in the 'Urdu,
or Hindustani language.'
The strength of the new way of
life this book introduced into Iedia'
is seen •also in the way ChOstians
there were trusted•by both Muslin*
and Hindus when the British ilth-
drew and these two' peoples passed
through a self-imposed reign of
terror,
It was -during this period of tran-
sition' that Christians painted white`
crosses' their • doors -and gave
refuge to both Muslims and Hindhs
and both governments used Chrh--
daps widely in refugee camps.
"Bibles, Bibles,' more Bibles," • is
the demand •everywhere in these
countries today. "We cannot keep
enough Bibles in stock," complaiP-
ed• an official of the Bible Society
in India, Pakistan and Ceylon re,
contly. The British and.. Foreign
Bible Society responded with a gift
of ninety-one tone of Bible paper
from-London. •
The name "Urdu" comes.froM the
tine. 500 years ago when the Mus-
lim invaders swarmed ' over the
Northern mountains of India, They
set up a king's palace in Delhi,
The king's soldiers camped close
about the palace walls. As they
mingled with the native. peoples in
the market place they learned' their
Hindustani language.. , However,
with it they mixed their own Ara-
ble and Persian words. "Urdti" was
the 'camp language' which emerg-
ed. The ecript .used is Persian.
By 1809, four years after he ar-
rived in India as a chaplain, Henry
Mertyn had translated the- entire
New Testament into Urdu, His
little committee of Indian advisers
often worked four days over two
chapters. The translation was so
nearly perfect that it ha- been
compared to Tyndale's and _Cover-
dale's work in the • translation • of
the Bible into English. •

Contributions from the Canadian
public .will send CARE relief and
self-help packages to supplement
existing programs in seven areas
where the refugee problem is most
pressing.
Refugees have always shared
CARE distributions overseas, but
the current drive will permit con-

CARE's greatest single effort to-

Through CARE, Canadians can
help the neediest cases, and can
ease the tension in the countries

More Advertising-More Sales
Addressing more than 20() Chrysler
of -Canada ,fieldmen at their annual
convention in Windsor last September,
R. T. Brown; advertising manager of
the corporation, describes newspapers
as "the. cornerstone of our whole cam-
paign,", according to a news report
dated September 25th.
In outlining the company's adver-
tising plans for 1956, Mr. Brown an-
nounced that Chrysler -of Canada in-
tended to expand its advertising cov-
erage during the coming year, provid -
ing increased assistance to its dealerS'
merchandising 'efforts.
"The bulk of the increase will go
to 164.1 newspapers," he said, "for it
is ati,71the lodal level primarily that we -
must meet the buying public:"
During 1955, he added, the corpor-
ation's outlay for newspaper advertis-
ing was the greatest in its -history,
Tremendously, increased sales of
Chrysler-built automobiles through-
out the year reflected. the value of the
program and warranted next year's
substantial increase.
An interesting- sequel to the above
report was contained in a news re-
lease issued- by Chrysler of Canada
last Thursday.
p
The company reported the 14th
consecutive month of increased sales
as compared with the same period
last year ; a February increase in sales
of 10.1 pertent over -February, 1955,
and' air. increase of 16.3 percent over.
the January-February period of 1955
These figures compare with,a decrease
of 4.3 percent for the Canadian in-
dustry as a whole. during the same
period.

Recent discussions on the proposed
revision of the Small I„oans Act in the
House of Conn11011S have brought
forth some interesting theories on ad-
vertising from a number of the mem-
bers. of parliament, judging from
reports rya Hansard there are a num-
ber of parliamentarians, mostly in the
ranks of the COI', who have little
conception of the role of advertising
in Canada's system of free enterprise,
During the debates on the Small
Loans Act, various members of the
House have said that inan companies
have been. spending disproportionate
amounts on advertising, and that ad-
vertising expenditures have resulted
in higher rates on 'small loans.
The idea that advertising costs
make higher prices to the consumer,
is one which dies hard, particularly
amongst people who aren't too con-
versant with the way in which free
enterprise works...' Taking the total
cost of advertising, and dividing it
by the number of units sold, they
glibly announce that the product
could have been that much cheaper if
no advertising had been used. It's an

• • it seems to usi after a somewhat brief
introduction to teleyisioni that there is
a good deal to be said for radio, after
all. 4 Iti .iact• we are becoming aware
of more' virtues in radio than we ever
gave it' credit for in the past.
Radio is unobtrusive. It doesn't
require all your time and attention,
.and there. is no compulsion to go on
listening to it, long after you've lost
interest in the 'program, the way it
seems to be with television. Yon can
sew, read, write letters or do home-
work with • radi.o -music in the back-
ground, htit just try to do any of
those things with the television screen
lighted tip. It's a physical impossibil-. :
Of courSe...on&' of the big troubles
with television is the fact that the set
is usually plunked., right in the middle
of the living room, where yoft can't
possibly avoid it. Try to escape and
the assorted screams, groans, sobs and
gales of laughter find their way into
every ,corner of the house„uniess you
are fortunate enough to live in one of
those old twelve-room mansions on
• three floors. In most modern houses
there's no place to hide.
We'll admit there are many pro-
grams worth watching on television.
There are also great gobs of stuff
which only a moron could sit and
watch indefinitely. Yet thousands of
people sit down after the supper dish-
es are finished„' or sometimes even.
- before, and watch the whole evening's
program, regardless of whether they,
are interested in it or not. To date
a large mtinber -of the television au-
dience are not too selective.
It seems to its that various lune-

argument which sounds reasonable to
anyone who doesn't give too much
thought to the question,
The reason motor cars cost :UP°.
today instead. of $40,000, is simply
matter of mass produetion. In other
words the number of cars built .has'
an all-important effect On the t priee of
the individual car, Mass markets and
tnass prodnethm are Only possible
through mass distribution, which in
turn is only possible through Mass
advertising on a national basis.
This rule, which holds true in the
general field 01 merchandising, also
holds true in the small loan business.
If small loan firms were to reduce
their advertising they would have a.
smaller volume of business, resulting
in a higher charge for the service.
The basic right of every legitimate
enterprise to conduct• its own business,
and to decide how its own advertising
policies and expenditures may bring
the best result, is cjiallenged directly
by this type of talk on the part of
certain members of the House of Com-

than on teleVision.-- To Ont. -Untutored
mind, -for iiistance„ there Seems to be
no particular advantage to watching
somebody ):TP.Ii(Fthe news, `In fact it's
better in niany ,cases if you don't have
to watch the. .newscaster. Similarly
with music. Candelabras, toothy
smiles and'exagg,erated gestures don't
improve the piano playing. As a
matter of fact it is conceivable that
music may disappear from television
altogether in the future, for the simple
reason that people may eventually get
tired of seeing it being played.
Radio can lie incidental pleasure
in a person's life, but with television
its all or .nothing. Sometimes, we,,
must confess, We wish it could 'bed

Our Sentiments, Exactly
Our own feeling about the kind. of
hockey played this 'Season by the
Wingham juveniles, and by both
Wingham and ,- Bowmanville in the
final games for the Ontario Champion-
ship, was mirrored in last week's issue
of the Bowmativille Statesman,
Commenting on the final s,,,eries.
the Statesman has this to say:
"One of the highlights of the en-
tire season's games and particularly
in the final series with Wingham, was
the commendable good sportsman-
ship which prevailed between the play-
ers and the fans from both towns.
This friendly and hospitable spirit,
we hope, will do much in promoting
goodwill among the followers of this
popular winter sport in the years to.
Borne.
"When one sees fights and other
bite of rowdyisiii going on all too
often in other towns, llowinanvillei
and. Wingham citizens are justified in
patting thetnselves on' the back for
gentlemanly behavior."
