United Way forms in Huron Huron County will soon form the 124th United Way in Canada and may even get an abbreviated cam­ paign under way this year. The steering committee for the United Way study in Huron voted at a meeting Sept. 10 to proceed with formation of the group which will carry out a combined fundrais­ ing campaign each fall for the agencies that are members of the group. The next move, said Community Development Worker Glen Sauve of Blyth, is for the formation of a board of directors for the agency. Recruitment of board members is now underway, Mr. Sauve said Thursday, and the new board will have to adopt bylaws for the agen­ cy and decide whether or not to conduct a campaign this year. The study, carried out with the sponsorship of the Samia-Lambton United Way, identified 17 to 18 groups that would be potential members of the Huron County Untied Way, Mr. Sauve said. These included groups as diverse as Phoenix House, Town and Country Homemakers, the two Seniors Cen­ tres in the county, Big Brothers and Big Sisters and Girl Guides and Boy Scouts. The study also identified a base of about 4000 employees of com­ panies large enough to make pay­ roll deductions for the United Way.Employers of about 65 per cent of that potential group have already agreed to take part, Mr. Sauve said. A lot of employers are very community conscious and see the United Way as being one way to be involved in their communi­ ties, he said. One of the unique aspects of a United Way organization in Huron is that there is no large, central community around which the cam­ paign can be based, Mr. Sauve said. Most United Way groups are based in larger centres. He said the local group has found it hard to forecast just how much money might be raised through a campaign. Data from other cam­ paigns showed a range all the way from $2.42 per capita to $26.34 per capita with no correlation between Continued on page 26 Twenty-seven steers consigned by Cunningham Farms, Lucan averaging 1419 lbs. sold for an average of $83.10 to a high of $84.
