of the help organization Ontario division president John Hamilton said Wednesday It is particularly important when it comes to raising money he told the annual meeting of the Barrie branch of the Red

and hope make it lot better in future Mr Hamilton told about 60 Red Cross volunteers at St Andrews Presbyterian Church on Owen Street He said the Red Cross has grown into an international organization since its founding in 1859 because of its members love and concern for humani ty But because it has grown into big business its easy for volunteers to get bogged down in internal politics or in in dividual programs JIM EREENIIALGII Kiwanis start seal campaign Campaign chairman Jim Greenhalgh of the Kiwanis Club of Barrie today announced that this years Easter Seal objec tive for Barrie and

services within the community such as the provision of braces wheelchairs artificial limbs transportation to treatment centres or summer camps camping holidays and other services The remainder is sent to the Ontario Society for Crippled Children to provide province wide services beyond the scope of any one community This years overall provincial ob jective for the Easter Seal cam paign is $2200000 But the love and concern for humanity must continue to be the main motivation for the thousands of volunteers in the 135 Ontario branches to ana dian divisions and 122 interna tional societies he said He said the organization at the branch levels must be strong To ensure strength the branches must have efficient well lt represented committees Youve got to have good committees he said Its marvelous to have committee tell you where you have gone wrong Oneperson programs do not work weve found out over the years No matter how good or efficient that person may be theres always the chance hell move away or get tired and drop out and the program will die Although the number of On tario branches has been dropp ing in recent years he said this is no cause for alarm Branches have amalgamated and grown stronger and are now in better position to serve their communities than ever before If we are involved in the community and the community is involved in us we will have no trouble raising money
