CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, March. 8, 1973 ~ CASTLEGAR NEWS Here Let the People’s Rights Maintain, Unawed by influence or Galn Worthy Groups Should Join the UNITED Appeal The recent door-to-door canvass held on behalf of the B.C, Heart Foundation by Its local unit was sn unqualified success and those local people associated with this most worthwhile cause deserve full praise for their efforts, The time-consuming or- ganization work aside, it is not easy to go | from door-to-door at any time, let alone ‘on a Sunday under threatening skies, That the organizers and canvassers did such a thorough job of canvassing speaks wall of their enthusiasm. But now that Heart Sunday is behind us, and no words of ours can adversely af- fect the generosity of district residents in this regard, a public alring of the pros and cons of separate canvasses such as that conducted by the Heart Foundation and the one, overall canvass undertaken each fall by the Castlegar District United Ap- peal is perhaps worthwhile, The history of the Castlegar District Uniter Appeal is well known and can be recapitulated very briefly: It wes formed To our knowledge, ‘this general can- vass by the Heart Foundation is the first time such an appeal has been allowed in the twin towns since the United Appeal was established, In our opinion, it should- n't be allowed again. Both municipal councils acted quite predictably and, we feel, quite correctly under the circumstances. They made en- quiries, learned that the Heart Foundation doesn't receive a grant from the local United Appeal, and approved the canvass. The alternative to a general canvass by the Heart Foundation would appear to be a formal request to the Castlegar Dis- trict United Appeal for a grant. But this supposedly simple answer isn’t all that * simple. The major reason large province-wide and country-wide foundations are making their own appeals Is because of the mon- ey they raise, Taking the Heart Foundation as an example, its canvass two Sundays «ago raised nearly 10 per cent of. the some 20 years ago as the Kinnaird-Rob- son-Castlegar Community Chest to do aw- ay with the mulliplicity of special appeals and tag days then prevalent — people in future would help many worthwhile or- ganizations with a single donation each October, This method of giving hasn't done a- way entirely with special financial appeals, as was noted by Ald. Ed Mosby at the Castlegar council meeting at which the Heart Foundation sought permission to its canvass, Commenting that “it's hard to argue against worthy causes” (in this case, the Heart Fund), Mr. Mosby reminded ald- erman of the reasoning behind the United Appeal. He added, however, that the latter’s principle is already being abrogat- ed to some degree by such groups as the Air Cadets selling nuis door-to-door for the Women’s Hospital Auxiliary and the town’s volunteer fire department asking for con- tributions to help muscular dystrophy. Mr. Mosby’s views are well taken— with an important exception. The Hospit- al WA is not asking for outright donations, i's selling nuts; the firemen don’t canvass door-to-door, they place in var- larger th-long United Appeal campaign lasi fall! There is no way the local United Appea! directors could give 10 per cent of their funds to one out-of-town agency, and so such agencies find their own can- vasses far more rewarding. As well, Un- ‘ited Appeal canvassers report a great deal of Anamosity towards grants made to pro- vincial agencies; would-be-donors say too much money is sent out of town — more of it should go to local groups. In other words, United Appeal direc- tors are darned if they do, and darned if they don’t. If they give too much to na- jional agencies, they're ‘criticized by don- ors; if they don't give very much to out- side agencies, those same agencies find it better to conduct their own canvasses. I's a pretty hard nosed attitude we admit, but we believe general canvasses by other than the United Appeal should not be allowed. The Salvation Army has already opted out of the United Appeal and this could be a:common occurence if general canvasses are permitted such gr- oups as the Heart Foundation, no matter how worthy their causes. The ideal answer is for all concerned ‘10: become, i and “individual: iplaces -fc sfor- vol y dona-:) ns; ote Boy.
