Presbyterians Will Rebuild
Sanctuary Destroyed By Fire
Drive NOU
In Progress
FOr$125,OOO

At congregational supper meet
ing last night at Lenoir Hall the
Chapel Hill Presbyterians set
themselves a goal of $125. 900 to
help finance the rebuilding of their
church which was destroyed by
fire in February of 1858. At the
same time they were reminded
that their previous drive for $780,
900 to help pay for the construc-
ton of fellowship hall and stu
dent and church school facilities
had exceeded its goal by $4,000.
This drive was begun in 1856, and
the buildings it was for are near
ing completion on the church site
opposite the University campus
on East Franklin Street. with
strong financial help from the
North Carolina Presbyterian Sy-
mods program Of broadening the
means of ministering TO studeals
on several campuses in the state.
BY . am. this morning, SIS. 900
OF the new $i25. 900 goal had been
pledged by 50 members. r
Joel Carter. chairman, OF the
Sanctuary Rebuilding Committee.

that a rough estimate Of the cost
OF the proposed new church was at
least $780, 900. and that S06. 900

Is available for addition to the
$l2S.oO0 the members plan to
raise. In regard to the difference
between the funds in prospect and
the amount needed. Mr.. Carter
said:
On he yaasis Of advices given
by lending agencies faniiiaf with
church financing. it is felt that
arrangements can be made for a
long-term basic loan--in the same
manner that private homes are
financed over a period of time.
1t Is the faith Of those working
closely with these plans that at
an appropriate time ways and
means will be found. Friends
throughout the denomination be-
speak their interest in the Chapel
Hill Presbyterian Church to minis
ters and to members OF the COM
mlttee of the local church in wish
ing to see the program through.
No commitments have as yet been
actually extended, but the impact
OF the Chapel Hill congregation
raising such a large proportion
OF the necessary funds should be
a factor of prime attraction to
potential sources of help.
The Chapel Hill Church is a
strategic center for the denomi-
nation in that it serves the largest
concentration of Presbyterian col
lege students at any institution in
the Southeast"
The church's pastor. the Rev.

meeting, the purpose of which
was the presentation of the sane

WHas Chapel Hill ever
looked better than it did last
week? The University cam
pus, and gardens all over
town, were at their best,
They seemed prettier than
in other years. Was it a GER
tain favorable concatenation
of the elements that made
everything come out precise
ly right this time? Or was
it because Chapel Hillians
have been putting more work
into the Identification of
their property?
Certainly the University
has been making extra eff
forts along this line. You
can tell it all over the cam
pus. You know it especially

Summer - 1859
 First in 25 Years
 Twenty five years is long time according to c. M. Irrigoo of Gambell, writer of Gambell News, But it is true. The Irrigoos just returned from their month and a half vocation at NE. Cape on St. Lawrence Island. It was their first in 25 years.
 Ever since Clarence and Mil dred got married in 1884, they stayed at home without a vaca- ton, except for a days trip once each year to nearby village of Savoonga.
 In these 25 years, seven chil- dren were raised-five boys and two girls. The oldest boy, who is 19 years old, just returned from Sheldon Jackson High School in Sitka. He graduated in May of this year. The youngest of the children is a girl-four years old. Beer vs. Bear
 , There was really poor bear hunting last spring. Not single animal was seen.
 On the othed hand, beer hunting was above normal! The hunt was so successful that help was re- quested from Federal government to take care of the excess.
 Help came promptly in 21- strong demolition squad. 1000 cases of beer believed to have been buried near Gambell failed to show up. according to one of ficer.

Contracts Awarded For Developing Space-Age
 Radio Communications

WASHINGTON, LR - Govern ment contracts were awarded Fri day night for the development of a space-age system of military ra- dio communications.
 The plan calls for use of arti- ficial satellites orbiting around the poles as relay stations. They would provide instantaneous and interference proof radio signals for relay to any part of the world.
 The proposed system, for which the Defense Department amour ced two development contracts, is based on successful expert ments made last winter with the talking satellite" called Score.
 The satellite, boosted into polar orbit by an Atlas missile, relayed back to earth voice messages sent out to it, including a Christmas greeting from President Eisen- hover.
 The new program bears the de- signation 'Notus," from a Latin word and the Pentagon said that Notus Twill provide reliable two- way instantaneous communica- tions" which will be tied into an overall globaI communications network.
 One obvious use for such sys- tenn would be the Arranging bomber fleet of the Strategic Air Command, to provide swift and jam proof communications be- tween planes and headquarters.
 The Philadelphia missile and space division of General Electric Co. was awarded a 515 million dollar contract to start develop ment of the satellite vehicle.
 The Ann Aroor, Mich. division of Bendix Avation Corp. was as- signed an 812 million dollar con- tract to start work in develop ment of the communication sub system.

CAMPBELL NEWS LETTER
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO

Either the work was not done long enough, or the natives had "downed" 24,OOO gallons of it! Sewing Lesson
 Ed Sheppard of Alaska Fur Factory claimed he won all the surplus buildings in Gamell, re- gently offered for bids, except for two which were won by two natives who were fortunate enough to cast their bids last July
 MT. Sheppard, appearing before the Village Council, explained he will open sewing center in Gam bell -- like that of Shishmaref.
 MT. Sheppard's request to open a business in native village will be considered carefully and is be- ing referred to BIA in Nome.
 MT. Sheppard explained that this will raise the economy of the village in the long run.
 MT. Sheppard's plan sounds good to the ear, but not too good on the other ear. In the midst of critical lumber and housing short ages, opportunities open to the natives for the first time are taken away by a man who can buy a house any time-anywhere and at any price. Too bad.
 Another thing that others did not get into this bid, is because that there was not much publicity. By the time they heard it, the bids were closed.
 Something ought to be done about this.
