The September meeting's agenda was strictly business, with the group voting on final passage of the medical staff by laws, rules and regulations. A decision was made to change the name of the organization from "Barnes and Allied Hospital Society" to Barnes Hospital Society, since membership encom- passes only Barnes Hospital staff members.

©nee upon a time. . . there were two employes at you don't want to give the UF agencies a raise? Think Barnes Hospital who didn't want to give to the it over. How can they do the job if they can't have United Fund campaign. One, S. Ken Flint, put it this more money to cover ligher expenses?" way. "Sure, I know they need the money for these hundred agencies. But, this year, I need the money myself, and more than ever before. Why, my gas bills have gone up 100 per cent. I've bought a few stocks, and they're way down, I've lost money. I just can't see my way clear to donate, even if it is a good cause."

The other employe, Ms. Penny Pinscher, agreed with her fellow worker, S. Ken. "Wow. You should see prices at the supermarket. This is no time to be giving money to others!"

But Ken and Penny were thoughtful people. They lis- tened when United Fund campaign captains in their departments came up and asked them to give to the United Fund. Ken had a lot of questions. "Why can't these various agencies raise the money they need on their own when they need it?" He learned that it costs money to raise money. The united appeal type of drive, Well, by this time, Ken and Penny weren't so sure with only one staff, costs less. that they would feel right about not supporting the United Fund.

How can they do the job if they can't have he can ask that his money go just to the agencies more money to cover higher expenses?" he specifies. These agencies will receive a letter from the United Fund saying they were specifically named by Ken to receive his gift. And, he was told that while many agencies with individual drives are worthwhile, it is well to know the facts about their needs, their ad- ministration costs, and so forth, before making a con- tribution. He was informed that all United Fund agency budgets are carefully reviewed by ten citizen- staffed panels of the United Fund. All agencies operate under the Uniform Standards of Financial Ac- counting for voluntary health and welfare agencies.

"Hey, you know what?" said S. Ken Flint, "I think I get the most mileage out of my charity dollar when I give to the United Fund.
