Four S'side Organizations Join United Fund Appeal

SUMMERSIDE —- Four char-I

itable organizations out of five represented. last night voted af- firmative to join the Prince Ed- ward Island United Fund ap- . The meeting was held in Civic building. Summerside. and was chaired by president of the P.E.I. United hind. Russell Sel- ler, Charlottetown. Mr. Seller had as his guests,

ccutive director of the fund. Mr. Ambler was formerly executive director in Moose Jaw, Sask.

The meeting last evening was called to ascertain whether or not organizations in the Sum- merslde area are in favour of joining the fund.

Mr. Seller briefly reviewed the fund's present activities and sta- tus on the island and discussed tag days. He said tag days were not very popular with merchants citizens or canvassers and did not seem a very dignified way to raise money. By holding one major tag day. such inconven- iences could be halted. The Uni- ted Fund stands for the people who give the money, he explain- ed

During a question period Uh. representatives of the various or- ganizations of Summerside dis- cussed problems among em- selves and with the fund advi-

sors.

It was noted that if the Unit- ed Fund is adopted in Summer- side. and one major tag day held. town council would pass legislation making it illegal for any other organization or group

take advantage of the space previously occupied by various £a;g_ day projects.

- jects and gave the president au-

thorization to appoint a steering committee. headed by himself. to begin this major undertaking.
