I would be pleased to °have

James B. Whyte
Age elevai."
Among the more than 20,000
entries to the national
competition to picka name for
:Canada's domestic
communications satellite, the
letter from James VValyte of
Toronto (55 Gilleaffe Ave.)
stands out as one of the mot
imaginative. And while ,he did
not actually propose a name for
the satellite, his stamp design of
northern Canada with a satellite
hovering above it carries the
marginal note: "In this area the
name of the satellite should be
painted."
• With. a fortnight left49_ go
before the October 1st deadrih
of the satellite name
competition sponsored by
Communications Minister Eric
Kierans, entries are still pouring
into Ottawa, either by personal
letters or on the official, postage
paid and pre -addressed, blue,
entry forms which are available
at post offices. • .
The winner of the
competition will -receive an
expense -paid trip, for two, to
watch the satellite launching
which is due to take place late in
1971 from —Cape Kennedy,
Florida. The favoured entry will
be chosen 'by a distinguished
panel of judges including Prof.
Marshall McLuhan, director of .
the Center of Culture and
Technology at the University of
Toronto, Mr. Leonard Cohen,
poet, novelist and singer, and
Gratien Gelinas, play right, .
producer and actor and founder
of Montreal's Comedie
Canadienne.
To date Quebec leads in the
number of entries, followed
closely by Ontario. Both
provinces have managed to
almost fill a packing case of
• neitly-stacked entries., Entries,
however, have come from points
-as distant as Whitehorse,

Canadian, or which is virtually
the same in English and French
or which is of Indian or Eskimo
origin.
At the time hp announced the
competition, which is the first of
its kind attempted by a Federal
Government department, Mr.
Kierans explained that its aim
was "to give the public a chance
to participate, in which I admit
is only a small way, in this
project by choosing the name
themselves rather than, having it
chosen for their' by officials and
politicians here in Ottawa".
Noting that schools and
universities are now resuming,
Mr. Kierans expressed the hope *
that many young Canadians
would take advantage of the last
few weeks of the competition to
submit their entries.
The communications satellite
is planned to go. into operation
early in 1972, providing Canada
with the first domestic
communications satellite system
of its kind iii the world. The
system itself will be owned and
operated by Telesat Canada
Corporation which came
formally into being on
September 1st with the
appointment of Mr. David
Golden as President.
The satellite, built and
designed in Canada, will cover all
of Canada, north, south, east ,
and west, in both French and
English. It will be able to carry
six television channels or as
many as 3,600 telephone
circuits.
This means that the people of
the North will have reliable voice
and TV' contact with the rest of
Canada for the first time in their
history. It also means that it will
be, eventually possible to
transmit French or English
television to any part of Canada.
Shares in the new corporation
will be divided into the three
blocs: one will go to the Federal
Government, a second third will
be ' sold to private
telecommunications conwanies,
, and the remainder will be made
available to the -public.

Arthur Circle glottis meeting

Arthur Circle of KnOx to ),,oung peoplep must move out
Presbyterian Church was held in ° frOrn its preoccupation with
the Church Parlor on .Monday
evening with Audrey Royal's
group in charge.
Following the prayer of
invocation and the gospel hymn
"Trust and obey," the chapter in
the study book entitled "New
Acts In Mission * The .20th
Century" was presented 1337
Audrey Royal, Emily Crew and
Mary Wray. This chapter deals
with the variety of media
through which the Gospel of
Jesus Christ may be presented to
people of all ages — such as,
drama, dance, music and art.
Drama was actually born in the
medieval church because the'
clergy could get their message
across this -way to the illiterate
peoples of that day.
Another experiment that has
beew tried and proven—was—a
"Travelling Christian Art
Exhibit," because it was felt that
"a picture is worth a thousand
words."
The Parable of the Sower
from Matthew 13 was read and
commented on by Margaret
Burchill, and a prayer offered by
Lee McCallum.
After the reading of Psalm
150, which is an exhortation to
praise God with musical
instruments and the dance, the
discussion centred around the
problem of the church leaders of
today as to whether the modem
electric guitars, drums and
trumpets are appropriate for
congregational worship. The
summary was that "the Church
