PATRIOTIC FUND.
An Appeal to Huron County From the
Canadian Patriotic Fund.
The following letter was received by
the Executive of the Huron County
Branch of the Patriotic Fund, and is by
them submitted to the people of this
County through the local press. The
appeal speaks for itself and should call
forth a response from all those places
in the County which have not yet sent
any contributions to the Patriotic Fund.
We are now drawing from that Fund
over $1,000 per month to meet the al-
lowances made to the families of soldiers
who have enlisted from this County and
there will be a continual increase as
other men enlist. Can we not "do our
bit" still more by further contributions
to the General Fund, which, as is shown
by the letter, is being so severely taxed?
And the end is not yet.
Any contributions intended for this
Fund may be sent to our Treasurer,
Mr. Andrew Porter, Goderich, who will
duly acknowledge same and forward the
amounts to the Executive at Ottawa.
By order.
J. H. MCCLINTON, Chairman.
JAMES MITCHELL, Secretary. ,

—Messrs H. and Leonard Walton have
commenced their contract in Clinton,
That town knows where to come for a
good job.
—The annual meetings of the Ontario
Grand Encampment and the Ontario
Grand Lodge of the Independent Order
of Oddfellows will be held in Stratford
next week.
—Mr. and Mrs. William Bell, Blyth,
announce the marriage of their second
youngest daughter, Anna Winnifred,
to Harold Dean Gilean, son of Mr.
Alexander Gilean, London, the marriage
to take place early in August.
—Mr. J. B. Tyerman, of the 12th
concession of East Wawanosh left
several stalks of oats at the TIMES
office on Saturday, some of which
measure 5 feet, 3 inches. The oats are
of the White Logan variety.
—On Saturday evening there were
imported into Wingham two "Dymonds."
Diamonds so rare and costly that many
millions of money would not purchase
them from our genial rector. "Though
small yet wonderous to behold and far
too precious to be sold."
Canadian Patriotic Fund,
Ottawa, 23rd June, 1915.
As the time goes on and the number
of men which Canada is sending to the
front increases. the demands on the
Canadian Patriotic Fund constantly
grow. This month we shall assist up-
wards of sixteen thousand families at
an expenditure amounting to nearly
$300,000.00. During the eummer and
early fall we expect this to be still
further increased.
In looking over what the various
counties are doing, I find that while
your county grant of $1000.00 a month
is being regularly paid, there does not
seem to be any money corning in from
Huron County as the result of volun-
tary subscriptions. During the past
few weeks we have received a number
of cheques from different parts of Bruce
County, where I understand they are
holding patriotic meetings and stim-
ulating interest; but from Huron, with
the exception of $135.25 from Hensall
received on the 26th April, nothing has
come in during the past three months.
Would it not be possible for your Com-
mittee to undertake to stimulate in-
terest throughout the County in the
' Fund? We shall need generous con-
tributions if the work is to continue,
and X am sure that there must be many
people in Huron County who cannot go
to the front and who would be willing
to pay, being unable to fight. With
such a valuable auxiliary as your country
i press, you ought to be able to work up
a splendid campaign,
1 shall be very glad to hear from you
on this matter at your early conven-
ience. Yours truly.
HERBERT Bi AMES,
Honorary Secretary.
