We cannot differentiate between who shall and ho shall not take this Gospel to the far flung corners of the earth, since it is the bounden duty of every man and woman naming the name of Christ to make it known, not deterred by distinct terms such as "home" and "foreign" missions. The film "an C ing 50 vie turesque in presentation, heights of beauty and depths of sin reveals conditions in a Tibet that readily explains the ease with which Communism conquered.

Fif- teen years later, there were three canneries in Capetown mainly to supply 'langouste de cap" in France which remained the best buyer until the 1930s when the Am- erican market started to develop. One of the earliest canneries was established in a wrecked sail- | teeth ping ship, the hulk of the Nova Scotia schooner Robert Morrow which drove on the rocks in a gale near Capetown in 1900. Britain's Jammed Roads Have Good Sa LONDON Reuters) -- There are more cars in Britain every year, but by a strange paradox since the war the roads are getting safer every year. In 1930, when "baby" cars were beginning to bring motoring to the millions here, 7,305 persons died in auto accidents. In 1950, the death toll was 4,706. And in the first six months of this year there were only 2,274 traffic deaths. 2 There now are 4,500,000 motor vehicles in Britain compared with 33,000,000 in the United States, but in Britain there are 17 cars a mile of road compared with 16 in the U.S., including the less settled areas. Belgium ranks third in car congestion with 14 cars to the mile. The , ministry of transport as- cribes post-war reducti. 's in the death rate to its road safety cam- paign, started in 1945, which has made Britain so traffic conscious that although the death rate has ety Tall J ety Tally fallen the monthly death tolls reg- ularly cause dismay *o the public. Pedestrians are being constantly urged to use the 'Zebra' crossings painted for them on the roads in black and white. A driver risks a £5'fine if he runs over the crossing while a pedestrian is on it. London, with 339,670 registered vehicles and 8,000,000 inhabitants, is the most congested city in the country and traffic hold-ups of up to 10 minutes' dvration are fre- guent. The speed limit throughout Lon- don, and in all built-up areas, is 30 miles an hour, and police watch closely fc. offeade-s. Outside built- up areas, there are no speed lim- its, but any motorist driving too fast for safety can be charged with "driving to the danger of the pub- lic." Penalties for this are usually severe. Motorists found guilty of driving when drunk have their licenses suspended. Tiny Tot Boat Ready For Prince AUCKLAND N.Z. The Auckland harbor board is fo give the Queen a sailing Prince Charles of a type thousands of New Zealand girls have learned the ents of sailing. Yachting is a 's sport in New Zealand pg ah numbers of schoolchildren have their own Singhties from which they graduate to larger craft and eventually to Deoan-going keel yachts. The craft to be presented to Prince Charles is a seven-foot "P" class boat a type seen in dozens at regattas throughout the country. HK is unsinkable and has a single sail with no jib. I ig jJeature is that it can be rap after capsizing. Most regattas have a "capsize" race for P class boats. The one- man crew must capsize the dinghy in the course of the race right it again and continue to the fa- ishing post. The art of choosing the right moment for the upset to lose a minimum of wind and sail- ing time is a big factor im suc- cess. Auckland is the greatest centre of yachting in a country where every inlet and lake has its fleet of small craft and Auckland yachtsmen plan to give the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh a mem- orable harbor welcome when they arrive at the end of the year in the liner Gothic.

Cost Of Living Index To End In Two Weeks OTTAWA (CP)--The bureau of the old cost-of-living index will be d'- "ontinued early in October. The index, based on the cost of consumer goods in the 1935-39 per- iod equalling 100, will not be pub- lished after cost-of-living figures for September are issued about Oct. §. The old cost-of-living index has been replaced by the consumer price index which has been in ef- fect for a year. This index, based on 1949 prices equalling 100, gives a more-accurate picture of living costs. / The bureau said, however, that a statement has been prepared to assist those who have the problem of converting escalator clauses of wage contracts to the consumer price index. Escalator clauses in many contracts are based on the old cost-of-living index.

No one objected. But When Ald. Vic- tor moved that the aldermen re- ceive $400 honorarium plus $200 ex- pense money, there was much dis- cussion. Besides giving the alderman a small raise, the $200 would be ex- actly the one-third which is an al- lowable deduction for income tax. If the total remained at $500, only $166 would be applied on income tax forms, Aldermen Orville Eagle and John Dyer were the only two ob- jecting to the $100 increase on total salary. . "I suppose we would all like more money, but there is no need for it at present,' 'said Ald. Eagle. Ald. Dyer also opposed raising of the total but thought the $200 allotment to expenses was all right. The whole question got bog- ged down in a maze @f motions, amendments and waving of hands until someone suggested that the topic could be deferred one more meeting and that pay cheques can be withheld in the meantime. Alderman Wesley Powers, who had already been thwarted on an- other topic involying salary in- creases commented: "It looks as though this council is avoiding con- tentious matters and taking no action just because someone fis away. Why, we have someone away at nearly every meeting!" Had Liquor And Was Speeding William Woods, 61 Stone Street, was fined $50 and costs or 10 days in Mogutiais s nuit Josteresy morning on a s charge.

School Minus Sewer Service Is Opposed "Every school in Oshawa should be served with sanitary sewers," said Alderman Wesley Powers at council meeting last night when a letter was read from the Planning Board, recommending a site for a new school in the Southmead dis- trict, on the west side of Simcoe South, which would have to be serviced by a septic tank installa- tion. The proposed site is at the west end of Kawartha Avenue. Alderman John Dyer was incred- ulous that the Planning Board should have approved a school site which can never be served by a sewer. He called it 'poor policy'. It was pointed out to council that Alice Street School had to be clos- ed for two days last week because its septic tank was not working and on previous occasions both the Westmount and North Oshawa Schools had experienced the same trouble. The school site problem was re- ferred to the city solicitor and the assessor for investigation.
