Volunteers and employees of 20 city organizations will cross their fingers Monday as the Greater Oshawa Community Chest launches its 1967-1968 campaig' n. ' The chest's goal is $358,875-- $20,000 more than 'ast year. Of- ficials say the meinber agencies are serving more people each year and programs are expand- ing. ewe barely made our goal last year, and we would not have made it if we hadn't re- canvassed several donors," says T. V. Kelly, new cam- paign manager. Mr. Kelly said the Com- munity Chest cannot expect to a gate recanvass this year. He said each working person has to give 40 cents per week to make the campaign drive successful. The chairman says the chest is using a "new campaign ap- proach" this year. "We are making personal contact with everyone in the vity,"' said Mr. Kelly, "Already we are getting results." He said volunteers have col- lected an average of $200 from the professional people in Osh- awa in a pre-campaign drive. Employees of Houdaille of Oshawa and city employees have pledged to contribute 40 cents per worker per week. Mr. mana mT tion is a 400 per cent increase over last year. He says contributions are big- ger this year. The Woodview Neighborhood Association doubled last year's $500 dona- tion. The Get - Together Club, a youth organization which stages teen dances to raise money for charitable groups, is also fol« lowng the trend of "giving big" this year. It has increased its donation by 10 per cent, from $1,000 to $1,100 . The United Automobile Work- ers, Local 222, has increased its contribution from $500 to $1,000. Payroll deductions start Mon- Y CHEST CAMPAIGN OP Directors of the Greater Osh- awa Community Chest urge their agencies to remember that there is "no substitute for volunteer help'. They theme selves are unpaid for their ad- ministrative work. "The budget committee scru- pulously goes through all bud- get reports from the agencies to ensure every cent is direct« ed in making Oshawa a better community in which to live," said chairman Kelly. He estimated more than $1,000,000 would be spent on ad- ministrative costs if the chest did not receive volunteer help. "The Community Chest is the best and most economic way to help crippled children, retarded children and people less fortu- nate than ourselves," sald Mr, Kelly. A Workers' Dinner, sponsored by General Motors of Canada Ltd., will be held Monday at 6.30 p.m. at the Oshawa Boys' Club. Thirteen member agencies of the Greater Oshawa Com- munity Chest held demonstra- tions and "open house" for the public today in an attempt to show residents where the Com- munity Chest dollar goes. Agencies assisted by the chest are the Oshawa Crippled Chil- dren's school and clinic; the YWCA; the Oshawa family PTW ENS MONDAY Iu counselling department of the children's welfare; the local branch of the Canadian Red Cross; the Oshawa branch of the Navy League; the Salvation Army Citadel and Workshop; the Boy Scout Organization and Girl Guides; a workshop and training centre for retarded children; the Simcoe Hall Boys' Club; the Oshawa Institute for the Blind; Help; Multiple Scler- osis; the local branch of the John Howard Society; the March of Dimes; the Victorian Order of Nurses; East Whitby Welfare Council; White Cross; Simcoe Hall Settlement House and St. John Ambulance.

The Get-Together Club increased its donation to the community chest this year to $1,100. Simcoe Hall Manor, said he thought con- struction could start by next year if board of control and city council approve the addition. The cost, he said, would total about $1,200,000, or$ 600,000 to the Oshawa tax payers. The rest home addition would allow Hillsdale Manor to care for anyone over the age of 21 who will be confined to a 'bed for a long period of time. As it is now, they can only accept patients over 60 and, under the act, no serious bed patients can be cared for. However, this is sometimes overlooked.
