General Campaign chairman
and chairman of the board of

area labor leaders to discuss
labor’s role in the 1974-75 gen-
eral campaign. Meeting with
Mr. Hibbard were Henry
DePolo, president of the greater
Wilkes-Barre labor council and
business agent for the Labor-
er’s Union; Robert Leonardi,
business agent, Boot and Shoe
Worker’s Union and chairman
of United Way Labor Advisory
Committee; and Leo Namey,
vice president and business
agent of the Teamster’s Union.
Mr. Hibbard acknowledged
the cooperation of labor groaps
in previous United Way cam-
paigns and stated, ‘This year
again, we are asking the com-
munity to respond more gener-
ously if we’re to reach our cam-
paign goal of 1,695,000: a 5 per-
cent increase over last year’s
campaign. The goal can be
reached if we can get the United
Way message to everybody who
is gainfully employed. These
people are in a postiion to help
those who are unable to help
themselves because of sickness,
crippling infirmity, mental dis-
orders. Most of our 31 member
agencies are dedicated to help-
.ing such people. Other of our
agencies devote themselves to
promoting thé social and re-
creational programs of the area
which benefit us all - the healthy

included. The challenge posed
to labor leaders is to help us
reach in the solicitation cam-
paign the thousands of em-
ployed people who sometimes
are missed by campaign volun-
teers. We want to make certain,
that this year, no one who is in a
position to give will be deinied
an opportunity to support the
needs of more than 130,000 of
their neighbors who are helped
by the United Way’s member
agencies.”
Speaking in behalf of his coll-
eagues in the labor movement,
Henry DePolo said: “Many of
our union members have first
hand knowledge of the services
rendered by United Way agen-
cies. Their own families, - or
people they know intimately,
have been helped. I’m certain
we can count on more campaign
volunteers from laboring
groups than ever before. Labor
has an important stake in
Wyoming Valley, and it will do
its part to insure a successful
general campaign.”
Leo Namey, vice president
and business agent for the
Teamsters’ Union added: ‘I've
been involved in this commun-
ity campaign for almost 20
years, and each succeeding
year shows a greater need than
the year before. Teamster
representatives will be direct-
ing their efforts toward a sol-
iciation that reaches every
member this year. The mobility
of our members makes this a
difficult task, but we accept it
and will do it.”

The newly-formed Explorer
Post 706 of Dallas, sponsored by
Dallas Kiwanis Club and
belonging to the Exploring Divi-
sion, Penn Mountains Council,
Boy Scouts of America, has
initiated its first expedition, a
National Canoe Base in Boulder
Junction, Wis.
Glen Kozemchak, 183 Over-
brook Ave., Dallas, took a jet
flight out of Avoca and flew to
the base four days before the
rest of the crew was expected to
arrive. Glen will undergo inten-
sive training as a voyageur
learning camping and canoeing
skills.
The use of voyageurs rather
than guides encourages groups
to be self-sufficient and gain
valuable carry-over experience
that can be used when they wish
to go canoe camping on their
own. This system also promotes
character development and
cooperation within the group
and increases the opportunity
for high adventure and camping
fun.
There will be 10 other young
men arriving at the canoe base
on the fourth day to begin their
base. A member of the canoe
the adult leader of the crew and
the voyageur will be in charge
of the six days spent canoeing
and camping on the waters of
Wisconsin. Canoe expeditions
cover nearly every kind of
canoeing water, including the
famed Manitowish, Flambeau
and Wisconsin Rivers,
cated on White Sands Lake.
