Community, co-operation an
By James Friel
CLINTON - The most effective com-
munication is one on one. An individual
.wishing to contribute to his or her communi-
ty byvolunteering or working in the field of
`social services should remember hat while
it is comforting to be backed by a series of
experts from whom information has -
sometimes - been gleaned through
meetings, quality communication happens
in a one on one situation.
"The only things that have been ac-
complished in the world with more than
three people have been in the field of enter-
tainment or war," said Father Joseph
Nelligan.
The priest mixed his fine sense of humor
with common sense to make his point as the
keynote speaker at the Spring Exchange
presented by the Huron County Community
Services Council. He was speaking on "The
Three C's - Community, Co-operation, Com-
munication" at the exchange, held March 21
'at the Royal Canadian Legion in Clinton.
"Disease ( what morality can't do, the
thought of disease will) has taught me never
to go to a -meeting. Go out for a draught with
the person you want to talk to and talk
things out one on one." Father Nelligan has
a lung ailment which resulted in a transfer
to .California before his appointment to the
Roman Catholic church in Mount Carmel.
Father Nelligan said the opportunity is
there for "a lot of posturing at meetings. If
you don't have anything to say, don't talk."
Another problem with meetings is that an
individual may feel he or she is making a
series of good points but those listening
"may not be receiving."
"A person receives according to pre-
judices," said the speaker.
"All thetbest relationships are one on one.
They are ultimately and, supremely .com-
plimentary in the sense of that word.
"I bring all my power and skill to the rela-
tionship, which you may accept or reject
and you bring your power and skill which I
may accept or reject.
"But we have to accept the responsibility
if we accept or reject the offering of power
and skill."
As well as counselling one on one "in a
simple and dignified manner" seeking the
information needed to aid in the counselling
is best done in this intimate manner, said
Father Nelligan.
"If you need help find 'out who's best and
consult them. The ultimate compliment is to
ask someone what their opinion is quietly."
There may not be anything the volunteer
or professional can do in certain situations.

communication
This has an inherent problem which should
be recognized and avoided.
"If you can't say anything then you can
provide alternatives. You cannot split open
heads and put the stuff there, but if you have
some sense then you can recognize potential
and simply provide alternatives," said,the
priest.
"A person has to be offered alternatives.
It's the essence of freedom, education" and
the more abstract concept• to which our
society attempts to subscribe, he continued.
"When you try to inflict views on someone,
the moment you start to do that you become
ineffective."
Another problem to be avoided disap-
pointment..As realistic as a profes ional'or
volunteer tries to be, there is the chance of
disappointment.
"Don't believe a word anybody says or
you'll get frustrated. Get a contract and sue
them or learn to forgive very quickly," he
said to laughter.
Father Nelligan also mentioned that
whether a volunteer or professional, "There
is only one person you're absolutely respon-
sible to on the face of the earth - yourself."
He warned against the p.ossiblity of confu-
sion in roles. A professional works in the
field under the terms of a contract while a
volunteer works out oflove.
"A professional is selling skills and time
and it's legitimate and a volunteer works
because 'I love doing it."'
