Special United Way Edition 7974

CSDL UNITED WAY EXTENDED TO NOV. 15

The Draper Laboratory's United Way Cam­paign commenced October 22 and will ex­tend throl!gh November 15. Last year, the Laboratory won the award for the most outstanding performance in the education division. This year our goal is 100% parti­cipation and to keep the trophy here.

In view of the state of the economy, it is extremely important that we have a suc­cessful campaign this year. Your contribu­tions will support over 200 service agencies located in the Boston area which directly help people who are less fortunate.

Remember that this is the only Laboratory­sponsored fund-raising campaign. For those of you who have contributed, a sincere word of thanks. For those of you who have not yet contributed, please do so be­fore the campaign ends. It's not how much you give, but that you do give.

Please check the United Way Chart in your building to keep up-to-date on how well your department is doing in the depart­mental competition.

I am counting on the support of all of you to make this year's United Way Campaign a victorious one!

DRAPER UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED

PEOPLE: HELPING PEOPLE At a time when headlines of inflation greet them with the morning coffee, when their children are either growing out of their clothes or into college, when finding a bargain isn't a matter of luck but of necessity, two Draper employees continue to make a contribution of both time and money to the 1974 United Way Campaign at the Laboratory.

RICHARD McGINNIS A special kind of insurance

Richard McGinnis is the Administrative Assistant for the Technical Communica­tionsOffice. His responsibilities encompass the coordination of all administrative ac­tivities between the Photography, Repro­graphics, and Publications sections.

Newly married and anxious to establish a future for himself and his wife, Mary, Dick joined the Laboratory in 1956 as a Micro­film Technician. He had just returned from a three-year tour of duty with the army in Germany, France, and Luxembourg.

As a medic in the army, Dick worked in a pathology laboratory preparing slides, an assignment that taught him just how un­certain life could be.

"You really can't protect yourself from everything," Dick told D-NOTES, "but if you can take out some type of insurance, things don't always seem so overpowering.

"Regular insurance and a pension can make life easier for people like Mary and me if we become sick or decide to retire, but no one has Y!lt been able to find an insurance plan to cover growing old or being lonely or coping with some real disaster within the family.

"The United Way comes closest to this special kind of insurance we've been look­ing for. It's good to know that what I put into the United Way in time, as a solici­tor, and in money, is helping someone now; but it's even better to know that

MARIE LAYMAN . . . A little goes a long way

Since 1957, Marie Layman's skillful fin­gers have wound thousands of yards of copper wire around the miniature motors that went into the prototype guidance systems for the Polaris, Poseidon, and Apollo programs.

The work that Marie does at Draper for the Electromagnetics Section of the Com­ponent Development Department is pains­taking, fragmented, and frankly repetitive. Nevertheless, she genuinely enjoys it.

"I have a great deal of pride in my work," Marie told D-NOTES. "My work must pass inspection, and I believe that I can hand­wind a motor as fast and as well as any machine designed to do the job. I don't allow myself to focus on a single piece of work. I see each motor as part of a larger effort."

When Marie learned that some of her mo­tors had actually been to the moon and back. she was able to see her work as part of the space activity generated at the Dra­per Laboratory.

Marie brings the same point of view to her concept of how the United Way works.

"My contribution to the United Way Cam­paign at the Laboratory is a modest one," declared Marie, "but I believe that a little bit can go a long way. If enough of us pledge a few dollars, those dollars are go­ing to add up. If we do it together, we'll be able to meet the emergency goal for

More than 60,000 volunteer workers are taking part in the campaign.

Some 75 "loaned executives" are provi­ded to the United Way campaign by 45 business firms and government agencies. They participated in a four-day training session at Harvard Graduate School of Bus­iness Administration and are assisting 3000 firms in conducting their own UW cam­paigns.

During the campaign all pledges and mo­nies are tabulated by a team of volunteer auditors. Monthly financial reports are made to the Board, as is an annual audit.

United Way advertising is all provided at no cost by radio and television stations, newspapers, magazines, outdoor adverti­sing firms and many businesses. The value of this advertising is in the millions of dollars.

Dick McGinnis is a doer. Not only does he interact with the 56 employees working in TCO, but his job also necessitates con­stant communication with the entire Dra­per Community. Dick wouldn't do anything without first having a good reason.
