Leishman & Sutherland, Pubiishers THURS., JANUARY 7th, 1937 HELP FROM ANOTHER QUARTER In the course of a fairly lengthy is an editor, we have received assistance from many sources, have been showered with advice and have at various times told just how we oug xrht to » job, but it has usué ily been 1 someone with whom we are personally acquainted and from whom it could be taken without any often or hard feelings by either party This week, however, we, have received a rather long letter trom an organization in Toronto call- ing itself "A Group of Active Christians," with Fred C. Taylor as provisional secretary, and it not only offers rather severe cri- ticism of newspapers in general but lays out a system by which the hole world could be greatly improved; that is, if the advice of the "Active Christians' was fol- lowed. \ paragraph from the letter will show the line that the criti- cism takes: "Judging from the material published in the average newspaper, we find that onJy the destructive side of lite (almost ! iclusively) is exposed there; to the exclusion of the constructive and spiritual sides. By continuin tl policy, both publis l t rs are contributing in the production of vibrations and re- S nt conditions leading to \ ld disaster." There isa great deal more along the same line he suggested remedy is con- tained in the following: "We think we are justified in asking in 1 brotherly manner that you would devote the front page of y newspaper to the publication of regular quotations from the four Gospels and to religious out- standing news, such as, etc., etc." After reading the letter, we checked up not only on our own for several issues, but ie of the daily papers, and we find that the accusations are not at all justified. | News- papers have to publish records of crimes and other news: of a re- volting nature at times, but this and war news falls far short of being the chief items, even on the front pages Every religious group, ot church organization gets eR of space in the papers both local and metropolitan. The request for a whole front page devoted to religious items and quotations from the gospels is something that can hardly be termed modest. Nor is it a re- front page those of sor quest that ® at all possible of fulfillment. The "Active Christ- jans"' appear to overlook the fact that newspaper publishers have to make a living the same as others, and their accusations that the greater part of the newspap- ers is devoted to the destructive side of life will not stand up under inves tion. We do not believe that they or any other organiza- tion can prove that there is any more powerful force exerted for the good of the world than "the press. A very good example can be found in the "Active Christ- ians'" own home ret, of Toronto where the traffic accidents were so bad at Christmas that a regu- far campaign was waged in 'the newspapers between that and the New Year holiday, with the result A CALL FROM THE PACIFIC TELE. | | | The Imperial Shipping Committee have reported to Mr. Run- ciman, President of the British Board of Trade, in favor of subsidizing British shipping lines in the Pacific, which are in danger of being swept off the seas by subsidized American competitors. --News of the World building, and this season other improvements have been made among them the closing in of the Starts Monday aD ng t vem 1e closin; he Pe section below the floor. at Curling Rink only prevents the temperature} from dropping unduly in the rink Bagshaw Event but makes it possible to keep the | Twenty-One Rinks Competing in/ice surfaces perfectly level by Three Groups; Schoolboys preventing heaving from frost Given Membership action.
