In a year of estraint, however, tise public can expect a campaign with fewer frilîs and a greater empisasis on a direct plea for funds. M. John Buter, supervisor to service clubs for the Crippled Cildren's Society of Ontario bas indicated tisat thse campaign, this year is under the strain of budget cuts and financial reductions.

Butler told the Bowmanville Rotary Club last week. With sbamp. increases in inflation, however, tise ability of people to give large sums of inoney is predicted to drop to some extent.
