Campaign. chairman Carf Cann reported this week that $14;673.66 has been collected to date. The objective had been set at $7,800. Last year's canvass was 134 percent of the target under Cann's direction. Co-chairman of the canvass is Charlie Smith. Cann said there were four basic reasons for the campaign being so successful this year. These were outlined as follows: 1. The public have been very responsive to the work of the Cancer Society. 2. All rural and urban areas were organized and included in the canvass. a in previous years some of the rural areas were not included because canvassers could not be found.; 3. Some 260 canvassers and captains were actively involved. 4. The canvass was assisted by four active service groups: the Hensall Kinsmen, Zurich Lions, Dashwood Men's Club and the Exeter Beta Sigma Phi Sorority. "The Exeter Cancer Society extends a. very special thank you to all the canvassers and captains who knocked on doors of the concessions and streets. to the service clubs who organized canvassers or made con- tributions with special events. and all the people and businesses who contributed funds." Cann concluded. One of the major contributions to the campaign was the $1,477.82 realized by members of the Beta Sigma Phi in their sale of daf- fodils. There was another $414 con- tributed in the commercial canvass and $135 in the industrial sector. Contribution from the various municipalities in the area to date is as follows: Stephen $1.258.00 Hay 1.5033.25 Usborne 1.382.15 Huron Park 248.02 Centralia 168.00 Crediton 202.00 Zurich 736.755 Hensall 505.25 Dashwood 273.00 Exeter 2.372.4.2 Emmanuel U.ry�.% guest speak The May meeting of Emmanuel United Church Women was held Thursday evening with 33 members and 19 daughters and friends attending.
