WHITBY FREE PRESS , WEDNESDAY LDECEMBER 1, 1982, PAGE 5 * This year's United Way fuxnd-raising drive could be the first one for many years to fail short of its objective, officiais for the Oshawa-Whitby- Newcastle United Way said last week. The Iatest 'figures show the campaign has reached only id per cent of its $1.5 million ob- je'ctive, and .,donations have fallen off. in « the past few weeks..«.' TheUmited Way is ap- pealing to the camu- nity through the meédia in a final "blitz", in an atftempt- to fulfill this year's goal. Campaign Chairman Hugh Hollandý said- he expeets the drive to.fal short- by more thani, 10 per cent (or $200,OOO) if more donations are not made-in the next two weeks. This year's objective- is'up 14 per cent. from 1982, which takes" into account a 12 percent i4- fiatiàn rate and the ad- dition of two agencies to the United Way umbrel- la, Holland said. OSHAWA N EWCASTLE Unitrnd "feeyhousehold in this community gave $3, we. would have it," Hol- land said at< a press con-- ference last Thursclay., "'That's why we em- phasize the 'falrýshare' concept, s0 we don't hit anybody too hard." The fair, share guide-, lune suggests each mndi- vidual donate six-tenths of one per cent of his or her, income, or 15 min- utes of pay per week. :For someone ýearning $10,000 per year, this' Iwould mean a. weekly donation of $1. "lWe know ,we won't get $3 fromevery house- hold, and .that'swhy we're asking those who haven't made aà dona- tion ta consider maklng one now, " Holland said. Hie pointed out that if a person donates, a total of one, per cent,0f bis in- corne to charitable or- ganizations, he can reach 39 of the 47 major charities by giving .6 per, cent .ta, the United Way.
