Foundations, with $52,000 have achîeved 95 percent of their total objective.

The recommended giving percentage is 0.6 percent of one percent of income, or 15 minutes pay per week. For example, thie fair share for a person wlxose incomne is $10,000 is $1.20 Per week (less than a packàge of cigarettes). This contributes thr-ee cents per week to ecach of tlle 37 United Way agen- cies.

The Cam-paign Chairmain makes the following appeal to the citizenis of the three commîunities involved in the United Way Canvass: "In this more difficlt economic period, people need the help of the United Way agencies more than ever before. The only way we cani meet the in- creased needs of ou; agencies is for ail to contribute their fair share."
