COMMENT cý9z1=aiM -- Lo n bdh lm oever Fwà"ahr oý&V'l TI 11 Oiv er Awogsi M.uqe t SjM i.dTýé 5 Ttcau 011c mr M.qrru United Way needs our help, now more than emer lt's a sigof athei prevailing econamîc clumule tiii the United Way is falling short of lis ambitions fundraising goal. No one is ta blanc, but pcrhaps we could ail hclp just a llulebit. Would oe, two or five dollars, ar in the case of those géncrous souls who have already given, thatj amount more, maire much of a différence ta mast f us? Probably not. But the.money could begin ta make a dif- , ference ta somebody else, someane who gcnuinely nccds it. Wearc flot great propanients ai the welfarc state as it Shas came ta exist in Can& today, but there are so many blameless peaple auiMmhce wha have bls jobs, even hope. that we would bc remiss ini nat stressing the impartance ai funding thc United Way. * The agency, which is in effect a funding platforni for a wide varicty ai other agençics, keeps the moitey àl calI4çts in the community. In fàad. it is likely ail ai us knowicommwie, or at least knaw ai someone. wha has been tauched 1-.the goad work ai the United Way. 'T'ere is a lot ai campetiin for yaur charitable dollar at this time ai year. There are many worthy channels thmougji which charitable donations can flaw. The United Way is prabably the best-knawn anc: L is aiso an extremely effective way ai hclping out your feflov Miltonians. 'Those who can spare a-moment, sorne tllought and a smajVgift would do well ta help the United Way meet ils flindraising goal. No contribution is too modest. We can ail make a difference. Lct's help put the United Way aver the top. More focus on teens. is a good idea for al Il's% nice ta sec people paying attention ta kccping teens enterlaincd and accupied in Milton, through Uic dance planned for this woekend ut the leisure centre. We have reservations about thc chosen location, but the hears ai thc organizers are in the right place. Town councilltir Colin Bcst is ta bu çommended for his efforts in this area, as arc thc teen orguntizers. Some sort of t=e danýe club, supcrvilied, stikes uq as a warkable idea, althougli we fl e leisure centre is a poor locale. Why risk the vadidalism that'oflen tac- companies the 'inevitable few. pood'y behavcd kids who will attend this or any allier teen fiction? A school site would bu butter. If îhey smash sbenething there, they're Uic ones. by aid laWg, who haveo live with it, not the community in gencral. Thut restervation aside, we recogiz the need fos teens ta have a place where they cao congregute-aid so- cializc.witli tflr own, especially younger tSns. Right naw tbey seem ta bu doing it on Main Street atId al that does is cause friction when they get a bid rowdy. LOOKING BACK.
