Moreover, the winner of the United Way Volunteer of the Year Award in -raising hands of the community agencies that need them. Out of every dollar raised by United Way, 92 cents goes back into the community. Administrative expenses are kept to a minimum and books are always independently audited audited and open to public scrutiny. While she agrees that being one's brother's keeper is not a common phi- losphy nowadays, she' urged the volunteers volunteers to keep up their efforts. "I shudder to think wnat kind of a community community we would have if tomorrow at noon all of the volunteers decided to pack it in." And, in a speech that was at times humourous, at times, poignant and always entertaining, she reminded her audience of the needs within the communities. For example, she pointed out that 250 homeless men sleep on the floor of a church in her city each evening because they lack a roof over their heads. Mrs. Wakelin described the United United Way as "The glue that sticks the framework of these communities to gether" . Among the other highlights from Monday's kick-off was an announcement announcement that the pacesetter campaign by General Motors hourly employees at Oshawa's Car Plant #1 had garnered $313,000 in United Way pledges. That amount did not include an estimated $48,500 which will be raised through special events. The campaign at Car Plant #1 was launched during May of this year because because of the fact that the building has been shut down for conversion to manufacturing a new model and production production will not resume until January. January. Oshawa's General Motors of Canada Canada plants have committed themselves to a goal of $1,393,000 in pledges this year. United Way Chairman Bob Stone told the volunteers that this year's objective objective of $2,750,000 will go towards 42 agencies. He also noted that the first campaign campaign started in 1940 when an objective objective of $85,000 was established and a total of $119,063 was raised. The chairman predicted similar success in the 1988 edition of the United United Way effort. "I'd like to thank you personally, each and every one of you, for a job that I know will be well done," he said. Longer Life for Landfill Site From Page One Metro refused to leave the site then the Region of Durham would consider "rescinding" its previous decision regarding regarding a long term garbage site. He said the region went into a partnership partnership with Metro assuming they would be acting in good faith. "Metro now has to consider what they've done (eliminating the Rouge Valley location location as an interim site) and this is an opportunity for them to prove they are acting in good faith." Newcastle councillors Marie Hubbard, Hubbard, Ann Cowman, Diane Harare and Mayor Winters all supported the amendment, yet it was defeated, 15- 12. Councillor Hubbard said its time the region stops playing games with Metro. "People are fed up out there because we're not making decisions. Now is the time to look at this,"she said.

Councillor Harare said she supported hearing the notice at the next council meeting but not at the September September 21 meeting. She said she couldn't support support the notice of motion be- . cause it only spoke to the N1 site. "In my opinion this tells Metro other sites in Newcastle Newcastle are okay. I don't want Metro Metro to think we are giving ap- iroval to any site here," Councillor Harare added.
