Contribute
The urgent appeals for funds for the
British Red Cross has again been sent out
and Ontario is once mare asked to res-
pond to a Trafalgar Day contribution.
The only; difference from previovs anneals

year.

i11 the Town Hall on Thursday evening
last and presided over by
Mayoror McKib-
bon, the last year's committee was ap-
pointed to again take charge of this year's
collection. The committee consists of;

Secretary-treas.; L F. Binkley, Amos.
'ripling, Dr. Redmond and A. G. Smith.

canvass made of the town, using receipt
books instead of the subscription lists of
previous years. A concert will be put un
in the town hall on the evening of Oct.
nth.
The convenors of the different wards
have been appointed as follows: --
Ward 1—A. E. Lloyd.
Ward 2—W. F. VanStone.

The committee have set out to raise
3000, and will leave no stone unturned

It now costs $300,000.00 a week to carry on the work of the .British Red Cross, or
$16,000,000,00 a year.
Every minute of the day and night it costs $30 to minister to the sick and wounded.

Last year Ontario's magnificent contribution paid for the entire work of the British Red
Cross for nearly six weel Ds
This year, in view of the greater need, it is earnestly and confidently hoped that Ontario's
contributions will be as great proportionately as the magnificent offering of last year,

The Society wishes to take this oppor-

given of their time and money or in any
way assisted in making our work a suc-
cess and hope that we may receive the'.
same loyal support in the future. We
would also thank our two local papers,
who have so cheerfully given the use of
their columns from week to week so that
the public may know of the work being
done, and we would not forget Mr. J.
Dodds who has generously given Us the
use of his office for our Patriotic work
until the end of the war.
It has been. our sad duty during the
past six months to extend sympathy to
several of our members who have lost
dear ones in this terrible struggle.
Does it not make us feel that we want to
do more and mote to help those who are
still fighting for us. We would asic for
more workers to come and help continua
ally and urgently comes thecall from the
Hospitals in Europe, from the camps and
battle -fields and from the dreary prisoners
in Germany. Are we doing our duty if
we heed not that call? Let us theft, in
this, we hope and pray, the last lyear of
this terrible war, redouble our energies so
that we may feel that we have done our
duty to helpin this great struggle for the
freedom of the world.
