The federation suggests that the money should be raised by a 1% tax on beer, wine and liquor sold in Ontario. The plan is to use newspaper, radio and billboard to put over the message. Ontario’s liquor bill last year totaled $210,000,000.00. Christ for Everyone Plans continue for the widespread simultaneous evangelical campaign of Christ for Everyone. It is expected that 50,000 fundamental pastors will co­ operate in promoting a two-week evan­ gelical campaign this coming October.
