The biggest religious revival ever held in Candda is expected to 'cost one hundred thousand dollars; | - That's the estimate set for the 29- day "crusade" to be conducted in Tor- onto by evangelist Billy Graham, be- ginning September 18, says Leslie F. Hannon in the current issue of Mac- lean's magazine. "From Metropolitan Toronto with its population of one and a quarter million," says Hannon, "plus an assist from towns and villages within a hundred-mile radius the Billy Graham organization expects an attendance of three hundred: thousand and a salva- tion tally of ten thousand." To get the Toronto crusade under- ray, Hannon discloses, took "not weeks, not months, but three years of patient, meticulous, prayerful-- and sometimes frustrating--prepara- "n ive to the Maclean's writer, the Graham organization is unique in church history. "Compounded in_al- most equal parts of the lessons of Dale Carnegie, the precepts of the Harvard Business School and a show- manship that recalls Phineas T. Bar- num," Hannon writes, "it is unaffili- ated with any church. Yet its cru- sades are eagerly sought and backed to the hilt by the large majority of the traditional Protestant denomina- tions across the Western world." The article reveals that "under the Graham plan it is assumed that col- lections at the crusade meetings will . Another Graham rule insists that as soon as the budget for a partleu- lar crusade is met collections cease. The only exceptions to this are the i Sunday-afternoon collections which al- ways go direct to Minneapolis"--- headquarters - of the Billy Graham mother received 1 Evangelistic Association Ine. -- "and the rare special appeals." Hannon discloses that the "first charge on the headquarters' fund is the $28,000 a-week cost of the Hour of Decision, Graham's radio show which is used to link the whole con- tinent to the individual crusades . . . It" will originate in Toronto during the Canadian crusade." Graham earns a salary of $15,000 a year, paid from donations made di- rectly to the Minneapolis headquar- ters. While he. himself is not a charge on local funds, says Hannon, "the traveling members of his head- quarters team are Cliff Barrows, his song leader, is the highest paid at $1756 a week; the others, numbering up to sixteen, range down to $100." Of the five hundred and thirty-two churches supporting the Toronto cru- sade, two hundred and forty volun- -teered workers to assist the Graham team. Hannon reports that each of these churches, irrespective of size, "was asked for thirty-four workers; the total voluntary working forge was 8,160." Graham's team expenses come high, he continues. The balance sheet for a crusade held in Detroit two years ago 'shows 'team expenses' at $26,- 065.23. This includes such items as of whom arrive three months before a crusade starts 'and leave a month af- ter." Toronto committee has alloted $7,600 for advertising, part of which will be spent on eighty-two sign boards which will carry "the simple message that time has proved most effective, 'Hear Billy Graham." Gone are the days," 'Hannon réports, "when the machine-- a much earlier model--used to run ads like circus posters.

A Oshawa Fair Has a Successful Year The Oshawa District and Fall Fair wound towards a successful conclusion on Saturday afternoon with a grand parade of livestock. A happy informally dressed crowd of more than 5,000 wandered between brightly bedecked side- shows, inter- esting exhibits, and the. big grand- stand. Families and couples sat on the grass under shady trees and ate picnic-style from brown paper bags, while others preferred the canvas- walled restaurant tent. An amusing highlight of the after- noon was the hotly contested finish of the 2nd Free-for-all harness race. In the opinion of the crowd, No. 4 Gadabout F, owned by Mr. G. Sheldon of Peterborough appeared to just edge No. 6, Donna Harvester owned by Mr, Brenthour of Toronto from first place. However, the judges, amid much good- humoured heckling, named Donna Harvester the winner by a nose. Business around the sideshows was risk in the early afternoon, but later . as the erowd drifted to the almost non stop entertainment in front of the grandstand, it slackened. The needlecraft section of the Wo- men's Division of the Fair had a splendid number of entries with a high standard of work shown. Vivid- ly colored, and beautifully made bed- spreads and tapestries caught the visitor's eye immediately, as did the trays of pies and cookies spread out in the centre of the hall. It seemed the goats were the only animals completely un-affected by the heat, studying each new watcher with alert interest, while in adpacent stalls, the hogs snored loudly in their straw beds, obviously much too hot to feel like doing anything else, but sleep. Officials were well satisfied with results of this year's Fair. The See: retary," Mr. Gordon Rae, commented, "It's been. a good many years since we had a livestock showing like this year's". And summing up the Far as a whole, concluded, "The Fair has come up to expectations. un SEEK SRESDOM AFTER FLEEING REDS FOR SEVEN YEARS Toronto from Hong Kong family of Dr. Ling Ling Yang, top left, 'énjoy their first The Chinese obstretician is enroute. to New York to meet her husband and begin what she hopes will be a fce cream cones. new and better life for family, For the past seven years: the Yangs have been living in'Kong.
