The printed word, the per-
sonal interviews, and visual
presentations, provided the
society at absolutely no cost,
is invaluable, enabling us to
create a constant public
awareness of our existence,
requirements, and _ services.
Without this exposure we
would have an uninformed
public, and we would be
practically unknown.

2) To our volunteer unit
members throughout the
province and Yukon, key
personnel who are the
representatives of the society
in the various communities,
who organize and conduct
such a vigorous programme
on our behalf. To the
thousands of volunteers who
respond to the unit requests
for assistance in canvassing
the communities to raise
funds, and provide
educational and patient
services as required, These
people are the Cancer Socicty,
giving their time and effort
freely for a common cause,

3) To the many groups,
clubs, organizations, and
fraternities, young and old
alike, who contribute to our
work both financially and / or
physically, in recognition of
the facet that cancer is
everyone's problem,

Yes, cancer is everyone's
problem, and the foregoing is
a tribute to your ever-growing
concern.

We are proud to have you on
our side, Thank you, one and
all, for an exeellent job.

RBUCKMINSTER FULLER
AT HOME IN~ THE

UNIVERSE is an immensely \

important biography of a man
whose impact on the world is
enormous.

Other books and articles
about Buckminster Fuller are
“always about his ideas and
inventions, never about the
intellectually complex,
emotionally simple, mystical
technocrat who is known to so
many passengers on
Spaceship Earth as Bucky".
He prefers it that way. For
him, the person is nothing, the
weightless, metaphysical
ideas, everything.”

Alden Hateh, the author of
this new biography, has
known Bucky for over 50
years, and docs manage to
iNuminate the very human
being that he is. His
monumental achievements
are also described mast
vividly; the geodesic dome,
for example, which encloses
more space with less material
than any other man-made
structure, He was always
interested in’ housing, and
many of his plans, such as his
house ona pole, featured ideas
too startling to be accepted at
their time. Similarly, his uses
of solar energy, the Dymaxion
ear (a porpoise-shaped, very
efficient little vehicle), the
Dymaxion map (which lays
out the world without
distortion) were rejected at
first, The patent office, by the
way, at first refused a patent
for the map for they said all

ow

possible projections
already been discovered!

Bucky is the man who ex-
plained Einstein's theory, E-
MC2 succinctly in terms the
layman could understand, and
outlined the possible practical
applications to everyday life
— much to the amazement of
Winstein (sce Nine Chains to
the Moon),

Bucky had an idealistic
indifference to making money
from his inventions and
companics; he did things
solely for the sake of the
doing. ‘To the despair of his
friends, he turned his back on
more than one fortune, and for
years, many considered him
the family’s ne’er-do-well, for
he seldom had a regular job or
funds.

Success finally came to this
man who is so far ahead of his
time. Renowned as a lecturer,
today he is probably one of the
best known Americans, inside
and outside of his country,
especially among students.
Indeed, al 78, he is ‘'the Pied
Piper of the 20th Century
whom the children follow in
their multiracial millions.”

Why? Well, Bucky, a great
optimist, is an extraordinary
udvocate of Industrialization,
and, at the same time, fervent
for ecology. “Tis kind of in-
dustrialization is based on
ephemeralization and
recycling, By doing, more with
less, he would conserve the
resources of Spaceship Karth
and virtually eliminate
pollution,”
