Mrs. Lori West, evening classes secretary said it was hard to explain the drop in interest other than prices have increased due to the fact that the province does flot provide monies to offset the cost of the courses.

Theme f'or campaigni This year's Oshawa- Whitby-Newcastle United Way campaign slogan, "Needed More Than Ever Before", is a refiection of the economic conditions facing ail Canadians today. When times are economically dif- fic ult, more people have cause to turni for help to the agencies supported by the United Way. Dr. Robert McClure, former United Church of Canada moderator, in ad- dressing some 500 canvassers for the Oshawa-Whitby- Newcastle United Way, caîl- ed upon the canivassers to cultivate compassion in the area of the local United Way. "Asking people to help those less fortunate than themn is the best way to cultivate com- passion in people," lie said. He also said compassion is the quality of humans that separate them f rom hominids. Compassion was noted by Wilder Penfield flot as in- stinctive but rather was im- printed on the mind when we were children. Compassion grows like love, it was stated. McClure, in his address said, "Our socîety, if it is to survive is going to be made up of two important qualities -a recognition of our in- terdependence and a sense of compassion for others." The Oshawa-Whitby- Newcastle United Way have 110W opened their local cam- paign seeking a total dona- tion of $1 ,500,000 which is an increase of $200,000 of the objective of 1981. The monies are allotted to 37 separate agencies within the area wlio provide a, multitude of community ser- vies.' The United Way con- tinually reviews ail operations of the 37 agencies giving assurance that monies are spent responsibly and that a complete programn of services are available and flot duplicated through the agen- cies. Through- sucli as the Association for the Mentally Retarded 500 persans in the area were provided services as were some 820 persons through the Arthritis- Treat- ment program. The United Way of Oshawa-Whitby-Newcastle is the most effective way for in- dividuals and companies to support financially the many volunteer activities required to meet the needs of our com- munities to improve the quality of life.
