Aims of the club will be to foster an interest in local sports, and to provide incen- tive for boys with sporting talent to remain in Wingham rather than to take jobs and positions on teams in other towns. There is no doubt that there is a good deal of local talent right here in Wingham. The Juvenile team which this year came within an ace of win- ning the Ontario championship, con- tained several members who would be an asset to any team, and there are other boys, not on the juvenile team, who could give a good account of themselves on a town hockey team. What has been lacking, up until now, has been the organization to get these players together, and a sufficiently solid backing of fans to keep them to once the team has been formed. , Down in Bowmanville, where the Juveniles played their final games, fans waited in line for five hours to iget:' tickets to see their team play. :50isOn tickets for next year's games WTelf.

This fa-et was stressed' by m. 10 ,pasteur Dr. Marc Boegner; formerly .president of the Protestant chtirches of France, at a United 'Bible Societies .conference at Hayward Heath, England. In this report of Bible distribution and ,use in France, Dr. Boegner claimed• na difficUlty is encountered "film the side of the • church ,or state" there, "For over fifty years there has' been true and complete freedom of religion." he 'stated. He adinitted that id the 1Vbvince6 of Alsace and Lorraine, priests, pastors, presidents of churches and ecclesiastical officers are appointed by,the state. Never- theless even here there is closer relationship between church and state than ever before.

A protestant radio-broadcast ser- vice IS aired each Sunday -morning between 8.30 and 9,00 a,m, Jnereas., Bible readings And medita- tions from this broadcast are used by Roman Catholics. Priests often write their appreciation of this ser- vice. Some priests have added in their letters that they have chang- ed the hour of mass in their churches in order to hear this broadcast. The only difficulty encountered in Bible distribution today, ac- cording to Dr. Boegner is through a lack of Bible colporteurs, men who go from door to door selling them. He sees a tragic irony in the fact that in France, the country of the Huguenots; many of whom gave their lives for the sake of the Bible, the church of the Hug- uenots (Protestants) seems to be falling behind the Roman Catholic Church in stressing, the Bible's im- pOrta,nce and circulation. 0 - 0 - 0 Suggested Bible readings; Sun- day—Hebrews, 12,1-29; Monday— Hebrews 13.1-25; Tuesday, Acts, 13:1-25; Wednesday—Acts 13:26-52; Thursday—Acts 15:1-12; Friday— Acts 15; 13-41; Saturday—Acts 16 1-24.

Other weeklies have the same problem. About the only, way an editor can, yet some good spirited letters are (a.) to write them himself, (h) to attack the church, the Royal 14"amily, temperance or motherhood. "We'd like to see a couple of columns of lively letters in every issue. In fact, if we could get enough interesting letters to fill the space; we'd gladly stop writing uninteresting editorials.
