Nearly all the Bible Societies re-,
port increasing circulation-figures,
and most of such increases are in-
dicative of an improved literacy
rate as well as a growing interest
in 'Christianity.
In Bolivia, for example,. where
the population is only about..31/2
million and the -literates only 30%
— there were 173,344 copies of the
Holy Scriptures distributed last
year. In Peru 110,000 copies are'
given out-each year, and there is a
greater responsibility being assum-
ed by Church members for spread-
ing the Word of God. Similar en-
couraging reports come from .other
parts-of South America. 'But it is
on Africa, that our eyes rest with.
sorne anxiety. Great changes are

The British and Foreign Bible
Society gives thanks for the coin-

editions this past year, but prays
that the way may be open for
wider distribution. The cry which

'CURIOSITY CARRIED
TOO FAR
In two tragicc instances within
the past ten days we have seen
rather disgusting demonstrations of
human curiosity. At the time of
the drowning accident in Lower
Wingliam and again at the fire
in Morris, crowds of onlookers
gathered in tight-packed groups
around the victims. In the case of
the drowning the spectators scarce-
ly left room for the 'men who were
administering artificial respiration.
No doubt some of those who
crowd in around the scene of a mis-
hap are anxious to lend a helping
hand, but there is a high percentage
d'f those who are only trying to see
what goes on "rubber-necking" in
common parlante,*
Such morbid curiosity is almost
invariably a hindrance to rescuers
who are trying to use every precious
second to save a life, Police officers
could hardly be blamed if they were
tp, clear such accident areas of all
onlookers,

fortunate in the low incidence of
crimes of this nature during the past
few years, a period when many
other communities, particularly
cities, have been plagued by destruc-
tion; Young people here seemed to
avoid the taint of semi-insanity
which leads to senseless vandalism
— without even a profit motive be-
hind it,
Since this community has been
spared so far it is reasonable to ex.-
pect that prompt and somewhat
drastic action will be taken to nip
the trouble in the bud, The names
of several of the boys who created
the havoc at the park are known
and it is expected that police action
will result. There will be scant sym-
pathy for the lads when they are
confronted with the evidence,

WHEN COURAGE IS
NEEDED
We have previously paid tribute
to the work 'of the volunteer firemen
-who,make up the personnel of the
Wingham and District Fire Depart-
ment, acknowledging the trouble
they are willing to take to aid those
who are caught by sudden misfor-
tune.
However, it could well be point-
ed out that their work not only ,
requires unselfishness, but a "strong
ingredient of phyiscal courage as
well. At the tragic fire on Friday
nights in which"a respected member
of the community lost his life, the
firemen unhesitatingly entered the
blazint, building to locate the •owner
and if 'possibleto save his life, To
everyone's grief death had already

It takes 4 brave man to step in,-
side a building where• fire is raging,
where visibility is cut to nothing' be-
cause of smoke, and where breath.:
ing is impossible without the aid of
a smoke mask. The monetary re-
turn for this type of courage is cer-
tainly ifot great. The motivating
force must be none other than that
spirit, cif mutual helpfulness which
