the lnitcd Appeal possible solutions for the pro blems and to give Barrie residents an insight into what the Lnited Appeal is In this article Ben Dickson at the success of thc Lnited Appeal campaign in Woodstock By BEN IIKSON Which city in Canada ran the most successful United Way finance campaign in 1976 Was it Barrie Woodstock is claiming this achievement We raised 621 per cent of our $163000 objective for total of $103762 Woodstock set target of $198000 and raised $205998 They went over the top by 37 per cent They have been con siderably more successful over the past few years FLNDSRAISEI Barrie Woodstock 1974 124277 171104 1975 94038 173854 1976 103702 205998 chose to visit George Nutt executive director of the Woodstock United Appeal Association because of the comparative sizes of Barrie and Woodstock Population of Barne Woodstock 1972 28410 25098 1973 29071 25019 1974 31 380 25379 1975 33 399 26137 1976 34050 26323 While Barrie now has significant edge in size and growth factor our United Way contributions are not in parallel with this factor In 1976 Woodstocks per capita givings were $782 while Barries was only $305 Con sidering that our United Way is for Barrie and District the per capita contribution is actually smaller NUMBER OF FACTORS Why was Woodstock able to increase total givings by $30000 from 1975 to 1976 There are number of factors that might contributeto this More publicity about the United Way More continuity from cam paigntocampaign Paid professional help to organize the volunteers Let us look at Woodstocks organization in some depth They have five committees some of which function throughout the year Persons other than Board of Trustees are encouraged to sit on these committees In 1975 the entire Nominating and Constitutional Committee was from outside the board The other commit tees are Executive Budget Public Relations and Labor Relations Obviously the purpose of the Public Relations Committee is to keep the image of the United Way before the public It at tempts to do this by ensuring there is media attention focuss ed on the campaign Each agency is written up and presented in The Woodstock SentinelReview one or two ap pearing each week prior to and duringthe campaign The Board of Trustees meet monthly and any contributor to NcwIiIcstylc Country Estate Homes Box 2000 rllllillliill1 Croat the United Way is invited to at tend and participate At each meeting one agency gives presentation of the function and achievements of that service agency SUCCESSFIL The Labor Relations Tomv mittee was considered very successful innovation In sentence its commitment was to meet with labor organiza tions to bring to them the meaning of the United Way and to get their support Since form ing this committee the involve ment of labor has greatly in creased as is evident by the substantial increase in givings to the Unich Way by employees What of the campaign itself The message that get was started early so that the cam paign is well organized before kickoff day The campaign chairman and vicechairman for the September 77 drive have been appoint ed These are both prominent names in Woodstock The budget committee is at work now Each of the 13 agen cies have been requested to submit 1978 budgets Most of these have been received by the Executive Director Each agen cy then goes over its budget with two or three budget coin mittce members to establish the amount that the Board will attempt to raise Much of the success of the 1976 campaign is being given to the campaign coordinator This public relations person was hired for five month period to prepare slide and talk presentations which this person would give at as many group meetings as could be arranged Forty of the 92 industries ap proaclied by the campaign committee made time available so that the campaign coordinator could deliver the presentation to the employees The campaign was wrapped up with housetohousc blitz This netted $12329 Recogniz ing that many people would have donated through their places of employment each donor was given door sticker Ihcse houses were not canvass ed For this blitz the city was divided into 24 divisions each under the leadership of cape tain Each volunteer can vasser which the captain was able to attract from within his district attempted to get two or three additional canvassers This process resulted in ap proximately 300 volunteers be ingon thisone night blitz We the Board of Trustees for the United Way in Barrie have received unanimous mandate from the 12 agencies to cont inue onceayear fall funds drive Hopefully with the ideas we can get from other successful communities and with everyone getting behind the United Way campaign with time and dollars we can meet our object ivc in 1977 Bill

answers to the nuclear energy question fact made evident once again Wednesday night at Georgian College Members of the panel and au dience at public forum on energy development present and future couldnt agree on the desirability of steppedup atomic energy production in Canada Fred Knelman professor of science and human affairs at Concordia University said that further development of nuclear energy in Canada would be unacceptably costly in its social environmental and economical repercussions We have no technology for managing waste far into the future he stated United States president Carter has had the imagination to pro pose moratorium on the plutioniumrccycling method of nuclear generation yet in Canada were planning to enter right into that NOSAFEGLARDS Its totally unacceptable

face of growing worldwide concern about the method Canadas nuclear establish ment is maintaining bland panacea public relations posture which barely acknowledges the danger he said Archie Robertson assistant to the vicepresident at Atomic Energy of Canda Ltd referred to the Flowers Commission and its suggestion that nuclear power has in some ways become the whipping boy for technological development as whole According to Robertson relatively few eloquent critics are the only real op position to nuclear power He cited as example last years US elections where about 10 per cent of the population voted in state relerenda on nuclear power supporting nuclear by about twotoone Much of the public concern on nuclear issues for example disposal of radioactive wastes or fear of radiation

charge held an open house at the Manse in ro Station which was attenderl by several members of his congregation generated largely because the facts are not known or understood he stated SERIUSPROBLEM With the depletion of con ventional oil and gas Canada with the rest of the world is fac ing serious energy problem It is not question of renewable versus nonrenewable energy sources of conservation versus nuclear power All must con tribute where they can and as economically as possible if we are to avoid serious disruptions to our economy our en vironment and our society he said Robertson added that nuclear energy which provides about 15 per cent of Ontarios elec tricity now through Candu reactors should be able to pro vide half of Canadas total sup ply by the end of the century Third panelist Morison said that Ontario Hydro sees coal and uranium as the cor nerstones to electric generation in this province in the years to come Morison director of Hydros design and develop ment division said the utility FRED KNELMAN costly feels nuclear power is safe and clean and certainly economical in comparison with other fossil fuels SELFRELIANT It can also make Ontario self reliant in its electrical energy needs which Morison sees as an important factor as coun tries having other energy resources raise prices even ARCHIE ROBERTSON whipping boy more and perhaps not sell to us The
