Jack Scott Speaks To Youth In Baptist Hall People call themselves Christians in order to differentiate themselves from Jews whereas true Christians believe in God by way of the Bible as a whole, Rev. Jack Scott, Toronto youth leader, told members of the Tri Phi Young People's Club at their annual Christmas Rally last night held in the Baptist Church hall. "In order to call yourself Christ- ians you must believe in the Bible as an infallible book." said Mr, Scott. "The word 'Christian' appears only three times in the Bible" Mr. Scott said, explaining some facts about the word Christian. It was first introduced as a nick-name in the Gospel of St. John and again used as an insult in the same Gos- pel. Only once is it in the Gospel of St. Peter when he said, "If you offer as a Christian you should not be ashamed," which is the only time this word can be used as a compliment. In his address, Mr. Scott also pointed out how eyident it is that there is a God. ny of Nature's works are perfect, whereas the work of man is so often full of flaws and faults. Mr. Scott concluded his talk on Christmas: theme saying that people bother with Christmas Gifts and forget th: real importance of the festival which is the birth of Christ. Forwardaires male quartet who sang several inspiring hymns, broadcast weekly with Mr. Scott on Station CHUM every Sunday. Mr. Scott is pastor of the largest Bap- tismal church in Toronto and also President of the Youth for Christ movement.

Through their efforts $100. was raised at that time. Be assured this money will be put to good 'use. I was glad to see that you pub- lished the names of those who worked on the streets, in your pa- 'per today. To them, and to all others who helped, I am deeply grateful. Particularly I wish to thank Gordon McMahon, our di- rector of recreation who always takes the time and trouble to help out with such community matters. His aid is welcome for we know he is a busy man. In closing I would also mention the cooperation of The Times-Ga- zette for the very considerable pub- licity which has been donated to this worthy relief fund. However, the-fund is not yet closed and, as chairman I would welcome fur- ther donations to be left at either of the local banks.

J. Elliott told The Times-Gazette today. "Some people seem to think that they can do things at this season that they do at no other time of year, En- forcing the law is our job, and we'll have to be just as tough on offenders at Christmas time as at any time of the year." The. genial Chief appeared wor- ried as he read a bulletin stating that traffic 'fnishaps in November have been the worst on record. "With seven multiple-death ac- cidents killing a total of 21 people, fatal injuries from motor vehicle accidents in the month of November broke all Ontario records with a count of at least 80 known victims--17 more than last year," it reed. "Accident frequency had been on the decrease until last month," said Chief Elliott, "but apparently with the coming of the snow and for other unknown reasons, things have been bad again." Although no ftalities have taken place in Whitby, there have been more accidents than usual in the past five weeks. Summing up, the Chief said that care would prevent aocidents--that is all which is needed. And finally--don't drink and drive. When a driver has been drinking the chances are very greatly in- creased that an accident will pick him as its victim!" BEAUTIFUL NEW DIAMOND RINGS Set in yellow gold with 18 kt.

Gist of the doc- ument is that a municipality does not have to exercise all the powers given it by the Municipal Act when legislating. = Through his counsel, Harry Donald had claim- ed that the Whitby bylaw gov- erning the erection of signs was defective because it did not also deal with the posting of notices as required by the Municipal Act. United S.S. Has Party For Children The United Church Sunday School room was packed last night for the children's Christmas con- cert.

Gifts were exchanged and each pupil received a 'remembrarice from the Sunday School.
