Campaign Chairman Murray Hunter reported at the annual meeting that the final tally for the campaign amounted to $95,416.32. He noted that with an estimated population in the county of 56,000, this represents a per capita contribution of $1.70: As part of the south- western district, the Huron County canvass helped the district raise nearly $1.5 million. It also boosted the Ontario division total to nearly $15 million. This year's fund-raising efforts in the county ex- ceeded last year's total by more than $2,000. In 1984 $93,708 was raised. Wingham raised the largest proportion of the 1985 total with donations amounting to $24,635.57. Goderich was second with $24,535.29, Exeter third with $19,964.35, Clinton fourth with $18,398.02 and Seaforth fifth with $7,883.09. The cancer society's year was also highlighted by the introduction of a new education project called SUCCESS. Education Chair- man Mrs. Armstrong -Hayes reported that the county was chosen as one of the pilot areas for the project. The program concentrates educational efforts on five types of cancer: lung, skin, uterine, breast and colo- rectal. "It is felt that the in- reception for Mr. and Mrs. cidence rates of these types of cancer can be decreased proportionally by changes in lifestyles," Mrs. Armstrong - Hayes explained. "This requires an expansion off how the volunteers have func- tioned previously and, to be viable, an increase in the size of the committee. "Anyone knowing some- one with an interest in being a volunteer should contact me. We can put to use a real variety of talents in this project." As well as education and promotion, the cancer society also worked to pro- vide assistance to cancer patients. The Loan Cup- board, a new service this year, provided patients with air mattresses, sheepskins and other items. Mastec- tomy patients were offered special counselling. Patient services Chairman Margaret Allan' reported that 30 patients received The Wingham Advance -Times, Nov. 20, 1985 -Page 3 financial assistance with ostomy supplies and trans- portation Chairman Russell Jervis reported that 48 patients made use of the society's transportation services. Trips to cancer clinics and hospitals totaled 209 trips to London; six to Stratford and 11 to the Wingham clinic. In his remarks the out- going president, Mel Farns- worth, said the past year had been a most rewarding one and the report speaks well of staff and volunteers throughout the unit. "Once again our campaign objective has been surpassed and we really appreciate the many associations that assist us on a continuing basis. But among those groups are the individuals, caring and sharing people who through their efforts provide hope to the less fortunate."
