past United Appeal failures and an economic climate that is not particularly tasteful an air of Op timism pervades at the campaign headquarters Such optimism is based on faith in our community and in the dedication of the hun dreds of volunteers that are serving thirteen agencies the United Way There is catching up to do and it is off to good start but still long way to go to reach survival goal of $205000 Now it is up to all of us of Barrie and district to show that such optimism is not misplaced This years United Appeal slogan its you and its me is well said Think ab0ut it for moment All of us need each other That is why all of the thirteen United agencies depend on the financial support of all of us to serve all of us United Appeal represents the best bargain in town Dismiss talk of charity and all the rest In plain economic terms United Ap peal compels the support of all of us Agencies supported by United Appeal such as the Canadian Red Cross Association for Physically Handicapped Adults and Victorian Order of Nurses attract hundreds of volunteer work hours If private agencies became another part of government there would be no room for volunteers the public sector does not attract nor is it equipped to use the support of the many people who work without pay out of sense of duty or love or service to the community In society that professes to be humane the ser vices to the blind the sick the distressed which are now freely given would have to be supplied by government The great in crease in costs and of your taxes is quite selfevident All of us know that nothing is more expensive than government By all of us of Barrie and District helping to reach or beat the I977 objective we can blot out past disappointments and restore our prosperous communitys
