(71a) GOFS WELL OVER ITS OBJECTIVE (Continued from Page 1) cheque for $25,000 from Mr, R, S. McLaughlin, In the accompanying letter to the general chairman, his brother, George W., Mr. Mc- Laughlin said, "This good old towa is and always has been sound at heart, and once she decides to make an effort along the lines of this splendid cam- paign, she has never (failed. The response made by everyocae has been truly magnificent." Full text of 'Mr, McLaughlin's | $25,000 gift letter is. given in other | columns of this issue of The Osh- Childrea Helped There are 350 eager volunteer workers officially listed as Win- the-War and Community Fund can- vassers, to each of whom the execu- tive will send a personal letter of | congratulation and thanks. | But the major sales force that paved the way for the unified cams | paign idea was composed of thous- | of Oshawa Collegiate and public school students who did most, perhaps, of any in getting | practically' 100 per cent public in- terest and appreciation. Delegated to speak for the campaign's executive committee of which Harry J. Carmichael is chairman, J. H. Beaton told how Oshawa school children's "penny - a - day" contributions, totalling $192.88, helped to in- spire the preseat huge total ef subscriptions which far ex- ceeds any drive for service funds in Oshawa's history. Penny Banks in Schools "We hoped that the placing of penny banks in all our schools would help to carry the message the campaign into Oshawa homes," Mr. Beaton stated. "That is, we anticipated that with chil- dren asked to donate, completely voluntarily one cent a day for five days, there would be questions from parents, But our best hopes were exceeded. The youth ahd child- hood of Oshawa took over the home missionary work of the campaign in a spirit touched with pure zeal. "It was the same story, under- scored, in the graded poster. cam- paign competition staged in all Oshawa schools. Over 2,000 chil- dren submitted designs for posters based on the" campaign slogan, 'Enlist for Humanity.' They were urged to seek parents' help in sketuhing out their designs. I know from personal experience, as well as from what numbers have told me, that the young poster contest- ants got action in the matter of parents' help. All that told the story and sold the idea. The school | girls and boys of Oshawa did a | grand job. "While the executive and general committees of the current drive are not authorized to prohibit any cam- paign that might seek support in Oshawa," Mr. Beaton declared, "we feel that it will be impossible to put on any general campaign for threes reasons. There would be lack of sponsors, lack of canvassers and, I imagine, lack of subscribers. "This statement doesn't apply, of course, to organizations that seek support through giving value in re- turn for contributions, In the com- ing year, tickets will be sold for con- certs in aid of services; the Red Cross wil undoubtedly stage bridge parties and dances; the Boy Scouts will have apple days and the Girl Guides are preparing now for their annual Doughnut Day, These are worthy things which, we know, offer value in return for purchase money. "Then, let us keep in mind, there is Poppy Day, and even to think of perring or curtailing that effort | or, | month, and even then it was largely +a matter of paying so much now | and more later, due to the glver's would be bordering on treason. "But as for the rest, they are out for- another 12 months so far as we are concerned and can predict." Mr. Beaton, speaking for the en- tire executive, sees great good from the campaign's success in terms of community spirit kindling patriotic devotion to steadier, brighter flame in every heart concerned in the cur- rent outpouring of public generosity. "New Canadians" Gave Well Emphasis was placed on the fine response from Oshawa's "New Can. adians." "As in most manufacturing com- munities," the executive committee's organizer pointed out, "Oshawa has a large group of actual or prospec- tive citizens who are listed as 'New Canadians', As shown in the lists of names published in The Oshawa Daily Times, our contingent of Can- adians in the making showed earn- est willingness to co-operate, and did so in a very definite and prac- tical way. "Gifts from these people were substantial and showed a fine de- sire to express affection for Can- ada and faith in its future." Origin of Campaign Credit for the idea of the one general campaign was given to Harry J. Carmichael, executive committee chairman, who, Mr. Beaton pointed out, had urged its efficiency and other advant- ages for months prior to actual organization for the drive, "It is true," Mr. Beaton stated, "that some prominent people, pro- foundly concerned about the needs of Canada's gallant sailors, soldiers and airmen in this war, feared that collections for the Red Cross might be impaired if grouped with other war activities or community efforts. "However, the very reverse has been the case in Oshawa. Consider- ably more money has been subscrib- ed through the one community fund drive than could possibly have been subscribed if all groups had been left to stage separate campaigns. "In the last analysis, a great deal more money will be made available for Red Cross emergency needs than could have been made if its cam- paign had been carried on separ- ately as one of the year's many ap- peals to 'public generosity. One Campaign a Year "I have no hesitation in stating my conviction that the community fund idea is the only practical one for Oshawa." Valuable experience has been gained by the executive and gen- eral committee workers in the Oshawa campaign and all such will be made available to similar cam- paign organizations in other com- munities if requested. "The people of Oshawa who gave of their time and money in this campaign," Mr. Beaton stated for special emphasis, "have a feeling of sharing in a splendid civic achieve- ment. Those 9,000 contributors to the eampaign fund's success have something within which says 'Well done', and, in a wonderful sense of pride In the whole community's united action, singling out an special praise of commendation seems superfluous. At any event, that is my own feeling and I know it is the feeling of scores of con- tributors and workers with whom I have talked, » "To sum up, however, there are) the campaign's results, as they stand now, and {it should be men- | tioned that while contributors were | given the option of making de- ferred payment of subscriptions, the aggregate of such is compara- tively small. Most of. the pledged were at once pald in cash at the most, deferred for one desire to make a real sacrifice. Many Paid in Cash "Those who subscribed were given the opportunity of spreading pay- ments out over nine months. But due to the majority's preferring to clear the matter up at once or nearly so, most of the campaign's total will be immediately available for the organizations concerned. "While details of accounts are not vet all in, it is safe to say that the expenses of the campaign will be considerably less than the cost of running campaigns in the past 12 months. Announcement in this re- gard may be expected soon. The Win-the-War and Commun- ity Fund Campaign was organized with the skill with which: a great general prepares for a vital battle. Under the general chairman, George W. McLaughlin, was the for | gifts | seven-member-executive committee. Its members, additional to those named so far in this article, "are Mayor J. C, Anderson, representing Oshawa as a whole; George Hart, W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., president of the Oshawa Branch of the Red Cross Society, Major Watkin of the Salvation Army; and James Haxtqn, representing Labor in Oshawa. The next group, numbering some 80 members, formed a general com- mittee of campaign sponsors. It was formed as a cross-section of Oshawa's community life. "Day's Pay" Suggested Basic idea of the campaign was to have Oshawa's employed people contribute one day's pay each. This was almost universally accepted, but with the donors making generous interpretation of what their one day's gift would be. : Business and professional men were asked to total all their gifts to the Community Fund's objects of aid in the past year and write checks accordingly. Again, very generous interpretation of totals previously given was the rule. Manufacturers, in general: were asked to give in proportion to the number of workers they employ and, once more, this idea met with co-operation plus. Factories employing 100 or miore workers in Oshawa were lined up in the campaign by Harry J. Car= michael. | George Hart took the merchants and smaller employers' groups tmn- der his charge, J. H Beaton and Ernie Cav were partners in con- tacting citizens not reached by the above or through canvassers in dis- tricts. Very efficient service is being rendered the campaign executive by J. J. English, secretary; and by George W. Finley, treasurer. The very effective co-operation of Oshawa"s teachers in the Col= legiate Institute and in public and separate schools is warmly come mended. Announcement as to the distrib- ution of the campaign's total to the Red Cross, War Service Funds, and local institutions included in the general appeal will be made at an early date after canvassers' returns are all turned in and checked. Details Important The handling of details is of great importance in connection with a campaign of this kind. The prepar- ing of the original lists of prospec~ tive subscribers, the handling and tabulating of returns as they ars received, prepering lists for publi- cation in the local newspaper and other details, should not be over= looked. This work is carried on "be~ hind the scenes" but nevertheless it is of utmost importance in making for the ultimate success of the cam. paign.
