July number of Life magazine car-
ried an advertisement of the Ethyl Cor-
poration (U.S.' with an illustration de-
pitting a "Magic Circle" tour of Michigan.
This map covered part of Ontario, wherein
the Georgian Bay was mark (1, "Lake Hur-
ena' and Lake Huron wasn't tamed. The
eastern side of - the lake, lacking towns
or highways, evidently was supposed to
be unexplored. A Goderich man reruon-
atrated throhlgh the Ethyl Corporation of
Canada, Toronto, and suggested also that
the real "Magic Circle" tour is to cross
at .Mackinac and return to the U.S. thro-
ugh Western Ontario, for example via
Highway 21. - •
In reply, under date of Sept. 15, Vice-
president H.•J. Philp writes, in part : "Our
parent company has apologized to us and
sincerely regrets that the error was' not
caught. Their Magic Circle advertising
program covers pretty well the entire
United States and includes three adver-
tisements at or , close to border points.
In not showing Canadian highways they
certainly did not wish to provoke us good
Canadians . . . We hope that the carry-
over of these American • advertisements,
together with the many' others that form
our Canadian company's program, will
help encourage Canadians like ourselves to
discover that Canada -is a very fascinating
country With ,many points. of interest to

A MEDITATION
(By Rev. W. J. ten Hoopen, everything in front of her to de-
Nprth Street United Church)
Last summer I drove through
various towns and cities of this
province. What thaws ofle'g
tention as he enters a city or
town? It is the big signboards,
advertising all kinds of pro-
ducts. With great emphasis it
is announced not to forget this
kind of soap or „gasoline, or
cigarettes.. I remember that
there was suddenly amongst all
these signs, another one, of a
different kind. It said: Do Not
Forget God! Right underneath
was: You Will Like This Cigar.
That is ,a picture of our modern
civilization. That is the problem
we are confronted with every
day. There is the call for a
certain kind of soap, the use
of a certain cigarette, the latest
movie, the play and to think of
God and not to forget Him.
Now this is a common thing
in this world. Just read the
paper. There is the Fair, the
Nightclub announcement, the -
New Car and the latest atomic
explosion; and there is God. 0
yes, you would almost forget
Him ,in. all this busy life. Is it
not confusing? How are you
going to make any sense out of
all this cofifusion? It just does
not add up. -The stream of
calls which makes us restless and
always asking for more is too
powerful for us. We are swept
