Leading publishers, cdi- 4otalltaauthors, clergymen, actors an2d other "1greats" are earnest Mn their endorsement. If cverybody agrees, what ila the probleiu? Why not just practioe Brothierhood and quit talking ';%out it? 'the problem la that it is "easier to talk about a virtue than to practice IL iàp service la the hypocrlte's way .of keeping fromn looking at lis con- science. Don't mlsunderstand us. Talk Is important. OnIy through wcords can a problern be stated and solved. But talk should lead to action. Words with- out deeds are impotent For those who talce the ideal of Brotherhood seriously, a Christian par- able points out their duty. When Christ the King cornes te judge the world, he praisca the blessed because they helped hum when he was hungry, nakcd, sick and in prison. Thcy wanted to know when they had donc no. He apswred, "Inasmuchi as y. have done it unto the least of these my brethrcn, ye have donc it unto me." In other words, Brother- hood, la if anything, a way of action. Groucho Mar, the comedian, in a rare moment of unsniiling acriausaass understated the case for Brotherhood: "Today yau arc betting your lfe on this country you live in. If we want ta win the prize of national strength and security we've got ta work togeth- er. Let's respect each other's race and colour and creed. Let's make Brother- hood Week, Feb. 21 - 28 last ail year.» If we could make Brotherhood Week lait for ane day, if ail of us truly practised for 24 hours the ideal we say we believe, the world would lisec thc greatest and best revolution in the history of mankind. &Ioung 4000" Iman 's (3olmn tip-in oea i ut of mertal ed as in unz«enerate i hands ltogeter-or la real- Maybe se, but I fanl to su ly affected by Divine force. anything wrong in My refu- Then, why do they make a sal to do wmçthing that was mCokr f the very religion only a matteir of form whlohthey espouse? least, I was consiatent iC lk Once, I was requested te is more than van b. sald f«io, asic the blessing at a meal, borne of the types under dWs and when I declined, was rat- cussion i t.h1 article. otetters to tlhe &iitor C.., e I s ~* The Grits read the.

Ris articles are pithy, up- to-date, down-to-earth vignet- tes of many kinds ef people, usually connected with sport- ing events. He is neyer afraid te flay the hide off anybody-from -the chief pooh-bah to the low- ly swamper, and, he la neyer sparing of praise where it is deserved. Besides being pene- trating analysis of his subjects, his articles often contain rich, subtle hunior, proving that Scott Young himself, is a pret- ty human kind of bloke, who lias become wise te the ways %f men through a long, hard ,emester in the university of hard knocks. Last week, he touched on a subject that has claimed my -attention for a good mnany years-;that of people, i var- ious walks of life, beseeching divine blessing on their res-. pective pursuits, or projects, regardless ef how -incongru- ous the case xnay be. I agree with Mr. Young, one hundred percent, when he ays: "I count myspif te be as gQod a Christian as the next chap, but each time I hew~ someone referring to Heaiven as being a Place which May control the fiight of a puck, a football, a basebaîl, it seema te me an effront to the who]e idea af religion. As if "Up There," a gigantic elec- tronie homard existed which decided when Bronco Horvath Would get a goal, and when Jean Belliveau would get a goal, and planned the whole thing to keep not oniy us, but the players in suspense.

Mr. 'Young alse nientioned tsomnething that repeatedly thappens; an athiete making Fthe sîgn of the cross before rentering conmpétition. Quite recently, MY wife and I saw two boxers cross themselves, before they left their respec - tive corners, ta try and maij the ather fellow's body, that imge of the very One they 9each iniplored to «aid in their tnefarieus task. I wonder what passed through the mind Of the boxer who lost.

With the disciosure af rigged quizz shows, attention was turn- cd taother parts of the TV set-up and now the spotlight la on thc coînmerciais. Samimres we think thc commercials ane even mare entertaining than the actual programme, but here again we arc lni for a let-down. No doubt many viewers have seen the demonstratien af a safety razor ahaving a piece of sandpaper ta which a shaving crcam has been added.

And it la âbout time. For toc long Ontario ad- iiertising media have been prehibited from carrying the same advertising that la continually beamcd inte their homes by television, by magazines and by radio frein across the border, says Thc Uxbridge Times-Journal. For instance, in the past six weeks we have, twicc received as a supple- ment to one of the daily papers a 20 pagc tabloid effort in black aid white and in calour.

As far as we know, nothing has been said as te Canadian TV. However, a large propor- tion of thc United States programmes are carried on the networks of this country. Te say thc least, all these things are misleading te the viewer who la led ta believe that this and that product are far superior and theref are a much better buy. Many a persan gees eut and buys on the strength of thc tests that arc made and apparently preven. Ncwspapcrs are careful ta guard their readers against fa] se advertising and many a cencern has been turned down because their products were not ail they purported to be. Such h a lois to the publisher, but it is his way of protecting his subscribers frein be- mng deceived. At the same time it up- holds the reputation of the newspaper for publishing facts which can be relied upon and trusted. The newspaper association aise keeps the publisher in- formed as te thc shady advertiser and such advertisements are refused. This la ail for the protection of the public. No newspaper would hld the confi- dence of its subscribers fer vcry long if it permitted faise advertising and false dlaims ta appear continuaily in its columns. The public must be pro- tccted from sudh things ini TV adver- tising. tractions and thc other by its Depart- ment cf Transport. At thc same time said goverlnwmet las ta- date e4iorced4 legislathon tIat prehibits theit, owni provincial news media from carrying beer aid liquor ada. It obviousyiy laa case of do as I say and not as I do. The situation as it now stands la idiculous. -Vast sums cf money arc going eut af the province as thc aniy means available to advertise a legal product that is under the contrai of the Ontario Goverîment for the simpie reason thnt the governmnent has not made its advertising legal in the coun- try i which it hlids contrai Canf us- ing, isn't it? Yet, no more confusiîg tIan ha the legisiation that prompts it. If ever a law needs revising, this la it. And it la ta b. hoped that the combined brains of goverîment in this year of 1960 wili see fit ta, make the necessary amendments.
