Canterbury College Battling For Life Hectic Drive For Money Is Launched Danville, Ind., June 4—tfUP) — Officials of debt-ridden Canterbury College continued {to rake in cash contributions and erase red figures from their balance sheets today in a showballing aftermath of i’hectic money-raising drive. Acting College president Frederick Neel said Saturday’s parade, \ saw a Republican senator ride an elephant and a Democratic governor pilot a mule team, was merely a "kickoff” to stir up enthusiasm and “let people know we mean business about saving our school.’’ V Canterbury? wi(h A debt of |90,000, faced the threat of closing its doors forever. But the faculty and student body refused to give up

without a fight. And oh their side were thousands of sympathizers, including some of the state’s top political figures. ' Some 5,000 persons, twice the population of Danville, turned out Saturday to witness the big parade and watch scores of exhibitions. Playing leading roles in the festivities were twp politically opposed Hoosiers—Republican Sen. William E. Jenner, and' Democratic Gov. Henry F. Schricker. Schricker', standing in a wagon and driving a mule team, waved his traditional white hat to the cheer-, ing crowd. Jenner passed In review aboard an elephant borrowed from a circus. . ‘ On th e sidelines, businessmen shined shoes tor $1 and Invited customers to toss money into gallon jugs oh store counters. They were only two of more than a dozen inoney-makinx schemes. - t Neel, who said ho official financial statement was ready for release. estimated profits at SB,OOO. He said be felt confident the remaining $82,000 would be made up

through additional contributions. “We intend to contact anyone who looks like he might give us something,” Neel saM. “Money still is pouring in and if this keeps jip we should have the $90,000 in a couple of weeka.” l Neel said numerous firms aided the cause by reducing the amount of money Canterbury owed them, Other businessmen, touched by the plight of the small Hoosier college, wrote off debts completely. “A debt scratched off- the books is just as good as cash to us,” Neel said. “We haven’t had time t<j figure everything up yet but we’re sure this whole thing is going a success.” Neel also was a top performer in the parade. He rode ih a truck, wore red flannels and carried a sign saying—“if you don’t think this college needs money, look at me.” "old Fiddles V Holland possesses one of the world’s greatest collections of musical instruments housed in the Hague’s municipal museum.
