BUSIER 1937 SEASON FOR AUTO INDUSTRY PREDICTED Although l936 Car Salea 'angte, it is Interesting to calculate In: n_ Pre · • not only the number of cars In me -crea.ec~ vver VIOUI but tbe amount of :unused trans· Y Still Do F portatlon tbey represent. A IOOd ear, . wn rom basts of calculation is to assume an Peak of 1928 average ,car llfe of ten year&; . ~n •• 000 mUes a year. Next, lt· Ill easy "Advent of. the 1937 cars presents anotber opportunity to the cana- dian automoblle Industry," says c . E: McTavish, general sales manager of General Motors, "with attractive automoblles In the hands of deal-ers. and with business recovery and purchasing power steadily advanc- Ing, we ~ hope with IOOd reason tO be buster than we were In 1936, notwithstanding the Increase for the cu,rrent year which now seems Indicated. Ever since 1933, pas- senger car sales ha've been· increas- Ing In Canada, and month by month tbe Dominion's transportation neet has been getting back more closely to .what we believe to be the normal. "The fact that the total number of cars registered In Canada . Ill stUl below the total In 1930 Ill an In- dication that activity lies before us. We find that regllltrations were 1,· 176,128 In 1935, whereas 1n 1930 they were 1,232,486. We calculate the average car llfe at something less than ten years. Therefore, replace- ments alone to the 1935 fleet would have required sale of · 117,612 cars, whereas tbe apparent consumption of cars In that year amounted to 112,36'1, Are we, then, going be- hind? "Canada's peak year was 1928, when 209,607 vehicles were sold. In 1936 the volume wm likely be about 55 per cent. of 1928. In the United States. the peale year was 1929. In 1938 the volume will likely reach about 85 per cent. of that peak. Canada is not as close to the prev· lous peale as the United States, but this comparison Is of only ISUper· flcal value. It Is clear that similar conditions do not prevaU. The Do-- minion's economic progress is de- pendent on . many factors which do not apply across the border; for in- stance, the continued unfavomble business conditions In the West, to mention only one Instance. "Looldng at Canada's motor car picture from a somewhat different NorJember Meteon On Sunday Night ottawa, Nov. 12.-Accordlng to the Dominion Observatory, Depart- ment of ,the Intez:tor. "November meteors~ are to appear on Sunday evening, November 15.

The Leonlds will be m~~R ~euous on the night of to figure the unused mUes In all the cars on the road In Canada. It can be" shown that after 1929 .there were ~4.000,000,000 unused car 'mUb on hand. This evidently represelit· ed a surplus because sales d~ed for some years afterwards. .Then the 5tock ·of unused mlles dlmlnlih- ed. People were travelllng :more mlles, perhaps, and not stcicltll)g __ up with enough cars to replace the mlleage used. Even though the sale decline ceased and replace- ments began to Increase after 1933, the stock of unused transportation did not get back to the 1929 figure. Even after 1935, lt was calculated at only 21,000,000,000 mlle5-qU1te a shrinkage from 34,000,000,000 In 1929. "It is pure speCUiation to set any particular figure as Canada's nor~ mal stock of unused mUeage, but It Is probably nearer 30,000,000,000 than 21,000,0()9,000 and to bUlld ll up to that_ figure wm mean higll~r yearly sales for some years to come tban_ we rolled up In 1936.

The Heroism of Christian Faith "BRASS TACKS O!'i TBB SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON" By DB. .&LVJN E. B_ELL (The International Unlfonn Les- son on the above topic for Nov. 16 is Acta 21: 12 to 23: 30, and Ro- mana 9:1-5, ihe Golden Text being John 16:13, "Oreaer love hath no man than th1ll. that a man lay down ·his life for his friends."} DOES _A . BOY have to be a "lilsiiY" to be a. Christian? Is the ~llcfOn of Jesus a real man's re- llg1on? Has the heroic element tbat made martyrs disappeared from re- llgion? Such men as Sir Wilfred T. Orenfel of l-abrador-and otber mls· lllonarles on every frontier of the world are today's answer to tbese questlona, as Paul Ill the answer of tlie first century. Pa11l's Heroism When "tbe Holy Splrlt testified to Paul In every city, saying that bonds and affiii:t!OIIll were abiding him," he said, "I hold not m:v llfe qf any ai:eount as dear unto my. self." When his friends tried earn- estly io dissuade him from going on Into lmpen~ danger, he re- plied, "What do ye weeping and ~ my heart? for I am ready not to be bound 'only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." Paul then rallied them with these atlrrlng words: "Ye that are men now serve Him ap.1nst unnumbered foes; let cour· age rise with ctanaer, and atrength to strenath oppoee." Thus Paul came to Jerusalem bearing gifts of love for pooz: relief, which he had rrathered over wide areas only to be cruelly &et upon as he was wor- shlp!pg, when, according to a Ro- man captain's report, he "was about to be alaln when I came upon them with the ·sol.dlere and rescued him, ha'flnlr learned that he was a Ro- man." Pa11l's Tad Paul's tactfUlness In his maltlnc every abllity ~~erve to aclvantap or tbe cause of Christ Ill shown In hill addressing_ the Roman offl,_cer_ tn cultured Greek and enllstlni .. hlf sympathy and ~SeCuring his. penDls· slon to addresa the crowd, wliue· upon he secured their respecUul attention by addressing them In aa perfectly phrased Hebrew. · A;aln, .a bit later, as he was about to -~ scourged by the Roman autbori~es, Paul took advantage .of his· RomaD citizenship by saying, calmly to ·the officer In charge, "Is lt lawful . for you to scourge a man that Ilia Ro- man, and uncondemned?" Thus Paul brought to the service qt ·the gospel advantages of three great nationalities whose streams of ln· nuence blended In his ll!e. 'lbUI he "became an things to all men that he might by all means save some ... The Streurthenluc Vllllon Such heroism as Paul showed 'was Inspired by the ' assurance of tlle presence and power of the LOrd Jesus. For example, In conne~on with this experience of Paul In Jer. usalem we read, "The Lord stood b7 him and said, Be of good chee~; f,or as thou hast testified concemlbl me at Jerusalem, so must tbou bear witness also at Rome." · Thua the Lord Jesus Identified hlmaelf with his servant Paul to atrenath- en 'him at every crisis of his Chris· . t1an life. But Paul did not let 1t stop there. He identified h1mlel1 with the needs of Gocl'a peo_ple, to the extent even of swearing ·m true, self-forgetting heroism, "I have gieat sorrow and lncreastna pain In my heart. For I could wlah' that I myself were anathema from Chtllt for my brethren's sake, m:i JdM- men according to the flesh: ••• whose are the fathers and of whom Ill Christ as concemlng the flesh, who Is over all, God bleaaed for ever.
