TO THE CITIZEN$ OF GODERICH
At a public meeting of the citizens of this town, held some
thief aelo, it was unanimously decided that ao appeal should be
. mole to the citizens of Goderich for funds to assist in the sup-
port of the wiveg and children of the Canadian soldiers who have
enlisted for active service in oonne,tion with the present war.
This decision was arrived at after a careful consideration of
the need of further support of this cause, and the fact that Gode-
rich had done comparatively little for the CANADIAN PATRIOTIC
FUND, during the first year of the war, having contributed eon-
adeeaUy less than was reoeived from that Fund for the assist-
ance of the soldiers' families residing in Goderich.
This meeting decided that a campaign should be launched
to raise at least $151100.00 to represent the contribution of
Goderich to the CANADIAN PATRIOTIC FUND, for this the seoond
year of the war, beginning September 1st, 19t5. You should,
therefore, know all the facts in order that your enthusiastic sup-
port may be assured.
If the County of Huron, with wealth per capita far in excess
of the average per capita wealth of the DonAnion, is to dear its
fair proportion of the Empire's burden in this crisis, we must do
better this second year of the war, than we did during the first.
ff the entire Dominion had responded to the appeal for
soldiers, in the same ratio as did the County of Huron. to its
population, we would have less than 40,000 coldish. 150,000
have enlisted.
The average per capita contribution of the eligible population
of the Dominion toward the support of the soldier,' families
during the first year of the war, was approximated} 51.00. In
Huron County, it was 16 omits -
WHY A DOMINION FUND t
The CANADIAN PATRIOTIC Fra is a Dominion -wide move -
meat and organization.
Its object is to see that no one in Canada, in the families of
our eoluiers who have enlisted for active service, shall setter want,
and that the providing' of the,rnecessary funds for this purpose
. *ball not rest with a few, but -that EVERY CANADIAN shalt
be given the privilege of doing, voluntarily, what he or she can.
Some small municipalities and rural districts in Canada have
sent a large number of sokdiers to the front.
Some larger municipalities have sent few.
Some 'pib4Fer "dfstaiete Gale oontnbuued many solLpre, and"
some richer municipalities few in proportion to their population
and wealth.
If it remained with local municipalities to provide for the
families of the soldiers who have gone forward, the burden would
fall most heavily upon that municipality that had already made
the greatest sacrifice in men, and the lightest upon those that had
contributed the fewest.
h it notaur, therefore, that the strong should assist in
bearing the Wain of the weak ?
The soldiers who hive enlisted are fighting for Canada and
the Empire, and not primarily ler the municipality from which
they have gone. •
The soldier who enlisted from another part of the Dominion
is as truly your representative as the soldier who went from God-
: *rich. Therefore, why ought not the citizens of Goderich to feel
themselves responsible for the welfare of his family ?
The CANADI.tx PATRIOTIC FUND bas been established for
the purpose of providing adequate asaistanoe to the family of
~re soldier from Canada, who has enlisted for active service.
September 1st, 1915, marked the commencement of the
second year of the active operation of tbie Fund. During the
month of September,' over 24,000 families were sated for. This
omit the Fund approximately $450,000. The demands are so
rapidly increasing, that the next twelve months will require
at hast six millions of dollars.
The Dost of collection and administration of this money, up
to the present, has been very low. The bank interest on the de-
posits has been ample to meet every requirement. Let it, there-
fore, he borne in mind, that out of every dollar which has been
contributed to this Fund, one hundred cents (1000 has either
been paid to soldiers' families, or is still available for that pur-
poee -
THE DOMINION ORGANIZATION
The CAlNADiAN .PATRIOTIC FUND was incorporated at the
August, 1914, session of the Dominion Parliament.
His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, Governor-
General of Cauda, is President.
Sit• Herbert B. Ames, M:P., al Montreal, is Honorary Secro-
cavy.
The Honorable W. T. White, Minister of Finance, is Hon-
orary Treasurer.
Mr. J. Fraser. Auditor General of Canada, is the Auditor of
the Fund.
An Executive Committee, oompoeed of representative teen
from all parts of the Dominion and of all political religious
persuasions. determine the; policy of the Fund, with the scope
provided by the Act d I fon-
HOW ''HE FOND IA ADMINISTEIUID
The Wardens of the CANADIAN PATRII tTit' FOND bash ails.
sided that the Fund should be administered as follows :
That the relief given from the Fund shell he through Bran-
ches having Iuriediotion over certain territory such as • Village,
Town, City, County or Province.
Every teas is to be inveatiseted separately by a local oom-
oitteg and the exact requirements of the family ascertained.
1
With this information before them the loo, CettM-ilifiet de-
termine what each family shall receive, using tW Iollowieg w a
guide. (The figurMM quoted are the maximum.)
A wife, or widowed mother dependent upon the soldier,
$1.00 per day or $30.00 per month.
A child, under five years, 10o per day, or $3.00 per month-
A child between five and ten years, 15c per day or $4.50 per
month.
A child between ten and fifteen years, 25c per day or $7.50
per month.
Thus a family of a wife and three children of three, seven
and thirteen years respectively, would require a maximum of
$46.00 per month.
In cases where there are more than three children in
the family, $4.00 per month is allowed for each additional
child.
From this amount is deducted what the Canadian Govern-
ment pays the wives el the soldiers (termed Separation Allow-
ance), amounting to $20.00 per month, and also any other as-
sistance from a patriotic source, such as remittance of rent, con-
tinuation of wages by former employe f husband, etc.
The difference betoxen the Iwo amounts is Mien paid out of
the CAN AVIAN PATRIOTIC FUND.
When soldiers are reported to have hese kill after a battle,
the Government pay ceases forthwith.
In such cases The PATRIOTIC FUND oat provide Me
necessary funds to look after their familia' *ltdfarr until such
time .0 the Government commences payment to Mem of Me
regular pension.
IfOW THE MONEY WILL BE .PAID TO THE SOLD-
• IERS' FAMILIES IN HURON COUNTY.
Each month the Huron County- Executive will prepare an
estimate of the stoney required during' the. coming mouth for
assistance to the soldiers' families in this County.
A requisition will he sent to the CANADIAN PATRIOTIC
FUND at Ottawa, to secure a cheque for the amount required.
which will come payable to the 'treasurer of the Isocal Branch.
This money will then be paid to. the soldiers' families by cheque
of the local. Treasurer.
At the end of each month, on a form provided, a statement
of how this money has been expended will be forwarded to Ot-,
taws, with the vouchers attached, where it is carefully checked
with the records on file, this preventing any overlapping in
relief. .. lei
s.
Should Goderich raise more money than is requited for the
relief of the soldiers' families residing here, the surplus will b*
used elsewhere by the National Committee. Should we not
raiseenough for our own .needs, as was the case during the first
year of the war, the National Fund may be drawn upon for whipt-
ever sum is needed.
As long as there is a dollar on hand, provided by the Cana-
dian people anywhere, it is available for the assistance of the
soldiers' families, regardless of where they may live in Canada.
The principle of esch section contributing what it can and draw-
ing what it needs, is followed.
THE SECOND YEAR.
What you did" for—what you gave to—Patriotic purposes
previous to September 1st, 1915, represents your contribution to
the cause of the Empire during the first year of the great war.
The Titanic struggle is still on and likely to continue for
many months.
The work'of our brave soldiers is just beginning.
Let our contrioution to the support of their families,
this second year, be a credit to our Town, to our Country,
ourselves, as British Citizens, deprived of the privilege of
participation in this great struggle for Freedom.

WHAT GODERICH PROPOSES TO 1)0.
Goderioh proposes to raise for this perpose at least
$15.000.
Surely this is not an onr•essonsle amount for the ranksod
file of the individuals and firms of Nati town to girl voluntaflly,
as our contribution for the second year of the war
It will Iwo it the option of the contributors, whether to make
payments in one lump sum or to spread them over nine months'
time. It is hoped that those who are willing, but not able, to
make a substantial i pryment in one sum, may thus he able to
subscribe liberally. making payments nn the instalment plan

really be no blessing to us, if we do leis than this.
