The Bible Society presented the three thousand Scriptures to the graduating students at the Convocation of the Andhra, Intiver- say, India, this year. Perhaps this. Is the first time In India t•but Mich a large scale distribution of Scrip- tures has ever been made on a single occasion. Several Canadian Missionaries were present at the Convocation, and were thrilled to witness this great distribution of the 'word of God. "The wonderful thing about it all", writes Rev, John Ttart., • "is' that when asked presentation might he made to the 'Christian graduates, the 'University Authority ' asked, 'Why not all the grilatates?'

'The trouble started during the war when inspection -staffs were hurried and when inspectors knew that replace- ments would be hard to find. During the War, too, most of the legislation which demands inspection of, busi- nessmen's books was originated and the various bodies in charge were no '-ddubt green about the selection of personnel. We can recall visits from Inspec- tors in various departments which left us with an undeniable urge to kill— when high-handedness and 'an overbearing attitude seemed tote the visitors' chief stock in trade,' overbearing attitude seemed to be Big changes, however, have been made during the'past few years.

Last week our office was visited by an inspector the Unemployment Insurance Commission and it was an entirely pleasant experience. He was., most certainly not the kind of man one would try to push around, but he did exhibit that kind of courtesy which indicated his awareness that the subjects of his calls are citizens and equals in the freedoms of this land. This trend to a more courteous treatment of taxpayers is one which can be heartily commended. All too often the inspector is calling on a business %-hich keeps several sets of records and devotes a good many hours a month to the maintenance of government plan for the collection of income or excise tax, to the col- lection of unemployment insurance premiums, etc. This he does with- out any remuneration for lost time, simply because the law says he has no choice. It is therefore more than aggravating when the person who has gone to al! this trouble is sub- jected to arse. We hope the change for the better is a permanent oni.

Sports for boys and girls in the minor age groups should have one paramount purpose—to teach good sportsmanship. It should be equally important for a youngster to win or lose with neither a braggart's c,9nceit nor a failure's gloom. The mOdern world is thickly sown with useless young men who "tried out') with some famous professional team and then came back hothe to roost. • Th plan of giving all youngsters a chance at hall or hockey is much more likely to produce good citizens than all the championship teams have ever done. In sharp and encouragmg-. con- trast is the Brussels system. Busi- ness operations over the past 50 years have been carried, out with such goo judgment that the com- missioners. were able this .year to erect brand new and completely °modern building; to house the switch- board, repair department,. office and garage. In addition, the system has been . changed, over to the more modern "Common battery' Oper- ation—a definite improvement from the standpoint of both, company and subscribers. The shareholders and commis- sioners have .ample room for pride in the progressive steps • which • have been taken to brinc, their sl-stern into stride with the modern civilization of which it is an important part. HOUSES ARE SCARCE • . Of all the things we 'need ih this -town, houses certainly top the list. Never since • the erection of the homes in Hillcrest has, there been such an acute shortage of Eying accommodation, in either purchase or rental class. Even small apart- ments are at a premium. Housing has never been too plentiful in recent years, but the situation has become more drastic recently. 'The demand for homes has been increased, of course, by increased employment here. All the older es- tablished firms have been going great guns and a new one has been added within the past two years. The result is that more families want to live in Wingham, a condition which most communities in Ontario would be glad to face. The solution is not simple by any means. Rentals in a town this size are hardly high, enough to attract the investment of dolalrs in new homes. 'Many of the new families in town are younger people who have not had the time necessary to build sip ,savings for a building program of their own; A government sponsorea project such as the Hilicrest develop ment has its drawbacks, one of them being an additional burden*on tax- , payers, since the sites for such new homes and the services to them must be provided at a very low rate for a pre-set period. The problem, however, is suffic- iently important to merit some deep thought and 'study oh the part of civic leaders. We have all been cry- ing for more industry in town and now that We have it we find our- selves with no places for the Addi- tional workmen to live.. 'rage.

Having watched with keen in- terest all the preparations, enthus- iasm and hard work put into this venture, it was a real thrill to see it carried through to such a suc- cessful conclusion, This is what makes a service club succeed . .. the teamwork we witnessed last week. This is not only a credit to the kinsmen themselves but a fine thing for Wingham and the whole community and we do_ hope it will 'he eontinued for many years to come.
