OK, Gill; but just pray that the fireman's widow belongs to their church, otherwise she'll get nothing from them except a pat on to po po.

While we are on this roll, did you know that all money donated to both the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts goes to pay the staff of the state and national organizations? And that not a cent goes to the local troops?

The United Way does the most good at ground level by supporting counseling centers, subsidizing day care centers, and other "hands on" local agencies.

They tolerate the likes of the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and Scouts because of their name recognition, and not one other reason.

Incidentally all the Health Care Agencies run upwards of 50% admin costs (which include advertising and promotion as well as salaries). The highest is MD. Jerry has to pay the network for every minute the telethon is on the air.
