Some of the questions: Blair Fraser: How come the Chest always asks more-money in good times or bad? Mr. Pigoit and Dr. Davidson explained that steadily increasing population and cost-of-livisg figures, produce more needy members in the community and thus a proportionate increase in the funds required by the Chest to meet these needs. Charles Lynch: What about campaign costs, and dinners such as the one we've just finished? Wouldn't it be better if the of these items was simply, placed in the United coffers? David-, son 'explained that the service clubs took care of the dinner's overhead (everyone paid $2 a plate) and that the combined campaign represents a substan PRIDE OF THE REGIMENT The 30th Field Regiment, RCA, has reason to be proud of its record, especially in relation to number of trophies Won.

Or he may fear that these personal factors may be found among his choice of subordini ates: Mental laziness in mak- ing decisions (it's always easier to take your problems to the boss; Fear of of mistakes (the old man might raise the "roof, so I will not stick my neck or lack' of 'self -Confidence orVperhapsJheopposite which for empire 6J to Col.

La- londe, executive who has one-mah-band tendencies must take a chance on his staff by relegating 'authority. He must discipline himself to let his helpers help him. Too many insisted upon doing their sub- ordinates' jobs. "This happens more often where a man is promoted and tends to continue performing the duties of his old job. In this case he is likely to neglect his new duties while hanging on to the more familiar tasks," Col.

Lalonde said. "It is better to have, an as- sistant who achieves something and makes errors In the process than to have who does nothing for fear of' making a mistake." Finally once the boss has an- pointed a subordinate executive he should not permit others to by-pass the new executive in. matters related to his, new tasks. Nor should the boss dp any by-passing or short-cutting himself. This was the surest 1 way, not only to undermine the authority of the new appointee but to shake his self-confidence Without reason.

A rounded program for age groups from eight to eighty is proposed in the fall and winter plans of the Alexander-Queens way Recreation Association, in the west end of the city. Using the facilities of the W. E. Gowling Public School and the community center off Shil- lington Avenue near Merivale Road, the association offers recreation for that area between Carling Avenue and the Base Line Road, from Clyde Avenue to Fisher Avenue. Included in the program are sports in the Gowling school gymnasium on Tuesday evenings, with dancing and art classes at the community center on Thursdays.

Crafts, drama and small games take up Friday evenings at the center, and teen-age dances are schedaled for Saturday, nights Other activities include a team in the Pee-Wee Little Four Football League, a house league for hockey, figure skating instruction and such special events as a community; square dance 09 Noyember 13 at the Gowling gym. A program for senior citizens aiso is included. The association, headed by Joe Jaworskl, with Danny Genu as center supervisor, also may organize adult metal craft, square dance instruction, a womans" social club and other activities, if enough interest is shown. Second Term M. Bruce Mc-Kenzie of Ottawa has been president of the Canadian Association of Social Workers.

PASSED School questions will be prepared by the Public School Board's finance committee. New schools planned are: on the Stevenson Farm In the West End, $348,000. Bel-Air Drive, Elmira Street, Urbandale Area No. 2, St. Laurent Boulevard, $440,000: on the Arkell Farm near Pinecrest Road, $538,000.

A snag has been struck In planning the Elmira Street school. After negotiations were completed with Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation for buying the-site, the Department of National Defence step yfi i Winston Mill! You've run across this type of senior executive in the civil service. In the business world he's known as "the one-man-band" type of executive. He's invariably busy, so busy it's hard to get an appointment with him. It's harder still to keep his attention.

The telephone interrupts. People run in and out with papers, problems, questions. His attention is dispersed over a host of minor (details. His subordinates must invariably refer problems to him for attention. He may unconsciously become a serious bottleneck in his own department because of his inability to delegate authority to others.

He's a do it himself boss, and as such, a phenomenon who has no place in the modern civil service. Hard To Change We discussed this type with Col. Lucien Lalonde, deputy minister of Veterans Affairs who spoke to the administration course at Kemptville recently on delegation of authority. "It isn't easy for the one-man-band executive to change his ways," said the Colonel, "but the more surely he is impelled to do so, thp morecom-petently will he carry increasing responsibilities and the easier it will be for his associates at every level to work with him." The Colonel was quick to point out that there could not be absolute decentralization In the delegation of authority. If he, as a deputy minister, for example, delegated all his authority to others his status as deputy would cease and his position In the departmental structure, In fact, disappear.

But it was difficult for the one-man-band type to delegate even a smidgin of authority to others. Some among these were trapped in the "I can do it better myself" fallacy. This was common among civil service executives who had high standards of performance and were tempted to do themselves any Job they could do better than associates. "Assuming that the executive really can do the job better which may not be true quite as often as the executive thinks it is," said Colonel Lalonde, "he must nevertheless reconcile himself to turning the Job over to someone whose performance will 'be good enough'."

Double Checks Other points clarified were: tight budgeting assures no "padding of funds" can be possible, and audited' statements serves as double check on all Chest, agencies; increased governiiiem social welfare legislation has helped some members of the community but is far from a complete solution as private welfare needs still require "united" help, the individual's needs are not static and no two people's wants are the same; and the "flexibility" of the Chest makes it more adaptable to community needs than government policy.

Dr. Davidson agreed witn Mr. McKeown that a danger of peo ple "giving through obligation rather than dedication exists and "that is why citizen interest must be kept at a peak through public education spread throughout the year and- not just pushed at the opening of campaigns such as this one." Mayors Nelms and Armana Turpin of Hull, and t-asiview Deputy Reeve Hector Hotte, offered prayers, and good wishes that the drive will reacn us oo- Campaign cnairman naium Kirby outlined the value of giving "the united way" but added that "it's a tragedy that ours is not a fully united campaign. Some day we hope it will be." Ottawa Branches of the Canadian Red Cross, Salvation Army and other groups do not participate it the Chest campaign here. A heartening note for Chest AffioiaU was the report that $81,060 has already been collect ed through advance canvassing in the executive and professional, corporations and special gifts categories.
