The Rambling Reporter GARBAGE COLLECTION--F rom time to time much has been heard of the need for residents of New Liskeard to use proper containers for garbage and ashes. It must be conceded that the campaign has been successful or nearly so. The town garbage collection set-up has been working quite smoothly and efficiently. The thing that has puzzled us, though is who: slipped up and when the drive was on "how come" that New Liskeard Fire Hall has not been supplied with containers for their ashes. For some years now the ashes and other refuse has just been dumped beside the fire hall, near the po- lice. office door, and everything goes on the heap, even to discard- ed furnace pipes, It would be a good gesture to supply the hall with containers so that the grounds around the building could be kept in as good condition as the Council expects residents to keep their pre- mises. MEDALS--for the boys that op- erate the Department of Highways snow plows would seem to be in order. Sure everyone knows that the snow plows are always on the job as soon as it is necessary, whether the storm is still on or * whether it is just drifting snow. Some appreciation of the work of the crews was manifest last week when, after the better half told us we were crazy, and some of the members of the rink of curlers also thought we were, we decided CSS Spark's Electric Qualified Electrician a .

FREE ESTIMATES to journey to Kirkland Lake last Friday night to keep an appoint- ment for a scheduled game. Even though it was probably the worst storm of the winter, and in spite of what might be called poor visi- bility, the trip was made without incident in about an hour and a quarter. Coming home later in the evening we found the road to be just as clear as it had been any time this winter, which speaks well for~the men operating the equipment. VAN ITALIE COMPETITION-- Kirkland Lake Curling Club held their annual Van Italie curling competition last week-end with ten outside rinks and two local rinks in the draw. The turn-out was better this year than in pre- vious years and all rinks entered turned out in spite of the heavy snow storm, although it was neces- sary for the Cobalt entry of Clayt Dunn and Noranda to call off their Friday night game and play it bright and early on Saturday morning. Mr. Dunn was marooned in Toronto while the Noranda entry couldn't get as.far as the border for the snow-blocked roads, The New Liskeard entry of C. E. Bond, Reg Turnbull, Harry Plaunt and Allan Maguire made the 'spiel as a "good-will" ges- ture and had difficulty in finding a rink they could beat--and fin- ally managed to eke out a win over Matheson. Bill Fleming's rink of Haileybury had a little better going in their group and managed to win two games, drop- ping their last one against the Hargreaves rink of McGarry who placed second in the competition. Top honors went to Clayt Dunn with his Cobalt entry, consisting of Gordon Stibbard, vice; Guy Mars- den, second. and Bill Mallett lead. The winning rink was really going good and Clayt said that he had never had such easy going when he came to throw his own rocks. INTER TOWN BONSPIEL--vwill get under way the first of next week and will run until early in April. Both Haileybury and Lis- keard rinks will be used again this year with four sheets in each rink being used by the men and two being used by the women. This week-end is the annual Co- balt-Haileybury Mixed Spiel with about 70 rinks being entered. The entry this year approaches a record if it doesn't make one. The New Liskeard closing mixed is being scheduled for the week-end of April 3-4-5. Both rinks will be used for this spiel with the Saturday draws starting at an hour to co- tf incide with the number of entries. Haileybury - New Liskeard FIGURE SKATING CARNIVAL -- Friday and Saturday, March 13 - 14° Tickets available through C. E. Grozelle by Mrs. J. Clark Jr. On Tuesday, March 5th, a meet- ing was held in St. Andrew's Unit- ed Church in North Bay of repre- sentatives. from both the North- eastern University Committee and the Northern Ontario University Association. Both groups are work- ing for the establishment of a Uni- versity in Northern Ontario. Those attending from the tri- town area were: Rev. J. W. W. Wil- kinson, United Church minister in Haileybury and Mr. M. C. Napper, public school inspector from Haileybury, Mrs. Mary Foy, Mr. J. A. Pelkie and Mrs. John Clark, Jr. of New Liskeard. Definition of a University: An as- semblage of colleges or incorpor- ate institutions for instruction in the higher branches of learning (science, literature, philosophy, law, languages, etc.) and empow- ered to confer degrees. The formation of the Northern Ontario University Association (NOUA) was recommended by the National Committee of the Board of Colleges and Schools of the United Church of Canada as a re- sult of their investigation into the, need for more institutions of high- er* learning in Canada. The chal- lenge was accepted by the United Church in' Northern Ontario and the Association was formed at a meeting of the ministers and lay- men from all Northern Presbyter- ies held in Sudbury on December, 10th, 1958. A constitution has been drawn up, circulated and adopted, with provision for future amendment in duly called meetings of the mem- bers. The purpose of the Associa- tion is "to found and support in Northern Ontario, an institution of learning on the university level, United Church and/or Protestant in foundation and control, or at least a Protestant College in a federated university." The chair- man of the Association is Dr: Lautenslager, minister of St. An- drew's United Church, Sudbury: The members. of the Association shall be all those persons who subscribe to the purpose of the Association and make a contribu- tion of $1.00. The executive is formed from ministers and lay- men. The United Church has of- ficially contacted the Bishop of Moosonee and the Archbishop of Algoma requesting the moral sup- port of the Anglican Church. The Northeastern University Committee is a group of men of various faiths appointed by the North Bay Chamber of Commerce. Most are North Bay men, some are from Sturgeon Falls, the Tri-town area, Mattawa and other northern towns. The committee in its constitu- tion states as its purposes: '"'The purposes of the organization shall be to advise and assist the congre- gation of the Resurrection and the directors, officers and officials of the Roman Catholic North Bay College, a body corporate, in the establishment and management of The University Association a Junior University at the City of North Bay in the hope and ex- pectation that such Junior Univer- sity will become the nucleus of a full non-denominational degree- granting University'. At the joint meeting Dr. Lauten- slager explained the present posi- tion of the NOUA in the formation of a Protestant College, stating that it would be necessary to have con- crete evidence of a desire for a Protestant University in Northern Ontario. The NOUA plans to can- vass all non-Roman Catholics 17 years of age and over, for mem- bership. A contribution of $1.00 per member will go towards an initial fund. It is hoped that 50,000 mem- berships will be sold. With this initial fund organization can be started and a man experienced in University organization be engag- ed on a full time basis. It is subsequently planned to campaign in the fall to raise one million dollars in Northern On- tario. With this concrete evidence of the desire for a Protestant Col- lege in Northern Ontario, the NOUA can then meet with the proper government authorities and the officials of the Roman Catholic church to plan the formation of a Federated University. To obtain grants the Catholic and at least one Reform Church College must federate and have equal: control, After thorough investigations re- garding the best location for a University, the Government, the NOUA, and the Roman Catholic officials will agree on a location for the University. For this rea- son it is impossible for the NOUA to plan from the beginning where the site of the University will be, Dr. Lautenslager stated that he - has received letters from groups in Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, North Bay, Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Haileybury all giving reasons why the University should be in their city. The Government and the Na- tional Commission of the United Church feel that it is possible to. build one first rate chartered, de- gree-granting University in north- ern Ontario, but that more than one at present would result in in- ferior colleges. He recited the sad history of the University of British Columbia where, for 25 years, the people bickered over whether it would be built in Vancouver or Victoria and a whole generation missed out on having the UBC. He expressed the hope that people all over north- ern Ontario would back up the University of Northern Ontario re- gardless of where it is situated. Members of his congregation in Sudbury promised over $200,000, to be given -over a period of three (Continued on page seven) » REPAIR | BEN J.
