The occasion marked the official launching of the Sudbury Presbytery's capital funds can- vass, ; The meeting greeted with en- thusiasm the news that the cam- paign was already on its way to its 'first million'. J. A, McDonald, general super- intendent of the Northern Ontario district for the CNR, said that the $575,000 so far pledged came from 12 churches. Among them were St. Andrew's, Sudbury, $175,000; Cop- per Cliff, $75,000; St. John, Levack, $10,000 St. Peter's Sudbury, $10,- 000; All People's, Sudbury, $10,000; and St. Luke's, suburban Locker- by, $10,000; Noranda, $45,000; North Bay, $100,000; Trinity, North Bay, $70,000; Trinity, Huntsville, $25,000; Kapuskasing, $30,000. It its pledge, the congregation of each church undertakes to give a certain sum within the next three years. "It is not an assessment," an orderly means of arranging for financing of this project." Norman Wadge; canvass chair- man, called for an intensive drive to raise the money quickly. "We hope to complete the entire church canvass in the next two and a half weeks."' No specific objective has been set for the campaign. The current goal, as Rev. E. S. Lautenslager saw it, was ito raise the "first mil- lion": Dr. Lautenslager, minister of St. Andrew's and president of the Northern Ontario University As- sociation, said; '"'We have to get more than oné million dollars in this canvass it we are to get off the ground. After this first million, we are in a position to go out and get more. We will have proved that we have the charter to run a uni- vérsity. The first million is going to be the tough one." Rev. Harold Vaughan, secretary of the United Church Board of Col- _leges and Secondary Schools, pled-! ged the full support of the general council in the college project. Dr. Vaughan pointed out that the church currently has an _ invest- ment of $35,000,000 in educational institutions. The board of colleges and secondary schools operates an annual budget of some $6,000,900. On a recent tour of university centres across Canada, Dr. Vaug- han was impressed by the tremen- dous building programs being 'un- dertaken by these institutions. "The people of Canada have be- come education-minded," he de- clared. "The church has a crucial stake in education." Rev. J. W. E. Newberry, execu- tive secretary of the Northern On- tario University Association, out- lined the plan for a federated uni- versity of the north. He said the United Church's Huntington University College would seek to join with other in- stitutions in a federation of equals. The federation would be controlled by a non-denominational board and would have non-denomina- tional faculties. Huntington College would provide residence accommo- dation for students and teaching facilities commencing with such subjects as religious knowledge and philosophy and expanding as circumstances permit. "Our plan is to leave the final decision as to location in the hands of the authorizing board of 72 members, including laymen, drawn from six presbyteries," Dr. New- berry said. "We hope that by the fall of 1960, we can make interim arrangements for accommodation, and begin to enroll students."' Passes Exams Dr. E. Ralph Erickson, present- ly of Pittsburgh, is one of the young doctors who has passed the final examinations in Clinical and General Pathology held recent- ly at Toronto by' the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Erickson is a son of Mrs. Mary Erickson. His education was received in Haileybury. His many. friends. extend _ congratulations. Trans-Canada Doubles Gas Sales Trans-Canada Pipe Lines Ltd commenced delivery on Tuesday morning of 45 million cubic feet of natural gas daily to Ontario Natural Gas Storage and Pipe Lines Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Gas Company of Canada Limited, under the long- term sales-purchase contract be- tween the two companies. "With the start of these deliver- ies, Trans-Canada has doubled its natural gas sales in one full year of operation', James W. Kerr, president of Trans-Canada declar- ed. "Our sales-to distributor cus- tomers from Saskatchewan to Mon- treal now have reached approx- imately 300 million cubic feet daily", Mr. Kerr added. "We ex- pect the 1959-60 heating season will be a period of continued 'sub- stantial expansion for natural gas operations over our 2,290-mile system", Mr. Kerr added. Union Gas serves a population of more than 1,000,000 people in Southwestern Ontario and current- ly is well advanced in the biggest expansion program of its history. "The commencement of deliv- eries of Alberta natural gas through our pipe line to this pro- gressive area of Ontario is an im- portant milestone for the entire Canadian gas industry", Mr. Kerr said. "This important development in the growth of the sales of nat- ural gas occurred on the first an- niversary - of 'the conversion of Trans-Canada from the initial construction phase to operations".
