The Week in Religion
By RELIGIOUS News Service

Christianity's application to
contemporary problems was en-
phasized when the central COM
mittee of the World Council of
Churches held its third annual
meeting at Toronto. Canada.
There, the policy making body
Of the largest international group
of Protestant and Orthodox
church members in the world
brought the Christian viewpoint to
bear upon the leading issues of the
day-she Korean crisis, race re-
lati0Ns, refugees. peace, religious
tensions in various parts Of the
world.
On Korea, the committee, with
only two members Of paciflsr con-
viction dissenting, approved United
Nations Intervention in Korea as
a police action, but urged govern
ments Ito press individually and
through the United Nations for a
just settlement by negotiation and
conciliation."
Not all the 80 members Of the
central committee were present,
but the group was empowered to
speak for about 100 million Chris
tians in As lands-some Of them
in countries behind the Iron
Curtain.
This fact was considered sig
nificant in relation to the Korean
statement. Those who approved
it included churchmen who live
close to that Iron Curtain, so close
that at any time it might advance
and they would be behind it,
Courage was needed for them to
denounce Communist expansion in
Korea as a symptom of world
disorder.
The committee also condemned
such modern methods Of warfare
as the use of atomic and bacter-
iological weapons and obliteration
bombing, and called for their ban
ming by international agreement,
To this end, the committee said
| it welcomed "every sincere pro-
posal," but it questioned the sim
cerity of the so-called Stockholm
Appeal" issued early this year
by the Congress Of Partisans OF
Peace.
This appeal. it asserted. must
be regarded as a strategy Of prop
aganda rather than o genuine
peace proposal" because it gears
| in with Soviet policy which has
obstructed action in the United
Nations Atomic Commission.
The central committee reiter-

concern was devoted to inter-
national affairs. 1t also spent con-
siderable time on matters directly
related to the life and activity of
the member churches of the World
Council.
Much of its business was neces-
sarily routine. such as reports of
departments, technical discussions
of the sort that occur in policy
forming bodies of every type of
organization, and items concerned
with the conduct and administra-
ton of the far-fiung interests Of
the churches through the World
Council.
After numerous revisions, a
statement was adopted by the
central committee, stresSing these
main points:
The World Council is not a

ated the World Councils opposi-
ton to "the exploitation OF non
self governing peoples and fia-
grant violations of human rights,
discrimination or segregation on
the ground of race or color"
To Send Delegation to South.
It voted to send a delegation
of both white persons and Negroes
to study the racial situation in
South Africa, provided an invita-
ton is received from the churches
there. In the discussion of this
question, it was pointed out that
the churches in South Africa hold
differing views on the govern
ment's policy of "Apartheid" or
segregation of races.
In another action, the commit
tee condemned the curbing of re-
ligious freedom by governments,
churches or other agencies. It
made it pointedly clear that it op-
posed discrimination by any faith
by specifically naming Protestant,
Roman Catholic, Moslem or Or
thodox.
The churches were also re-
minded by the Central Committee
of the tragic plight of millions Of
refugees in Germany, Austria,
France. the Middle East, Greece,
China, India, Pakistan and Korea.
ALI Christians, it said. have an ''in-
escapable obligation to stand by
those who. through no fault of
their own, have lost home and
country"
Lodges Protest.
The committee lodged a "vehe-
ment protest" against those ma
tional policies which are steadily
increasing the number of these
unfortunate men and women. It
stressed the necessity Of national
and intergovernmental action" in
order that the problem Of refugees
may be met in comprehensive

remain free to accept or reject
the decisions of the Council.
The member churches agree
they should be more closely uni
fed, but they do not agree on
what form of final unity they
seek.
Many different views are held
within the Council as to the mean
ing of "the Church." but all the
churches agree on the central
Christian doctrine Of the deity
of Jesus Christ. 1t is the agree
ment on this point which enables
the churches to remain together
while discussing their disagree
ments and seeking to overcome
them,

LOWER HIGHWAY COST = use of Goodyear ''Rubberized
Asphalt" costs approximately $50 more per
mile than ordinary asphalt but this should be
saved many times over in longer wear and

These statements are based on the most convincing
evidence possible to obtain in the early stage of the

neered the use of synthetic rubber powder for as

is definitely superior to other materials.
As the leader in this new development, Goodyear

a more durable rubber-mix that would stand up
under this countrys far heavier traffic and greater
extremes of weather.
After many tests they found that special synthetic
rubber gave the best results because, when mixed
with asphalt, it gave wider useful temperature
range than either new reprocessed natural rubber.
Also, today synthetic rubber costs less than natural
rubber and it can be made in America.
Whuf the rubber does
As you know, ordinary asphalt - as good paving
material as it is-wil "run" in hot weather and
become brittle in cold because of its tar like nature
But when rubber powder is added, the tiny particles
swell and act binder, making the mixture more
stable under temperature changes and giving it
tougher texture more resistant to impact.

special synthetic rubber, we call "Rubberized
Asphalt" Several years Of laboratory work-now
