WHY DOES THE CANAW4?1 PATRIOTIC
FUND REQUIRE 50 MUCH MONEYI
This question is often asked, by persons and by municipal councils, when the matter of liberal
giving to the Fund is brought before them.
They are entitled to the most complete answer, for the Fund is the people's. They created it,
and it is they who must maintain it
Now for the reasons. There are 149,230 of them.
The Fund asks for so much money because Canada bas given her men so lavishly to the Great
Cause. Between 300,000 and 400,000 have volunteered. If their families need help, this. Fund
provides it. In October
53,693 families did need it. These families comprised 149,230 persons, nearly
all either mothers, wives or children. Is it any wonder that so Great a Need requires so Great a Fund?
HOW GREAT IS THE NEED OF MONEY
The sum expended in October, 1916, was $991,514.00
The average payment to each family was,. 16.29
The average payment to each person was • 5.73
The cost of administration was 15,464.00
(Ln above averages, stems paid for broken periods not included.)
Pay special attention to the figures concerning cost of administration—including expense of
campaigns for raising money. It is the ambition of the managers of the Fund to keep the costof
raising and disbursing it below that of any voluntary fund ever created in Canada. Their aim is to
hand to the soldiers' families as nearly as possible one hundred cents for every dollar subscribed. They
succeed in handing 99i cents. The sum received in October as interest on moneys in banks was about
$11,500. Take this from the cost of administration. The remainder is $4,000. And that, therefore,
is all that had to be deducted from sums paid in.
That is to say, of every 5100 paid by generous givers, 599.46 reached the families.
Is not that economy which should give confidence to every subscriber?
Does the magnitude of the Fund, as well as its importance, begin to impressou Mr. Citizen-: h o
Y w a
is -being -asked -to -subscribe -$100, or you, Gentlemen of the Municipal Council, who are being urged
to vote $100,000 for 1917? Does the REQUEST look as large as it did now that you know something
more of the NEED ?
Since the war began the people of Canada have subscribed
to this Fund .$1694959000
For 1917 they will be asked to give—and will give 12,500,000
Of this sum Ontario is being asked to guarantee—and will
guarantee—at least 6,000,000
This is one million more than in 1916, but every dollar will be required for Ontario's families. Not,
much chance for individuals or counties to economize by cutting down their contributions, is there?
On the contrary, the giving must be on a scale more generous than ever. And why not? If we can't
FIGHT, isn't it a Privilege rather than an Obligation to PAY?
ONE WORD MORE
No man should ignore his personal responsibility towards the families of those who are fighting
for him, simply because his Municipal Council is taxinghien slights owe
for the same
these people far more. Perhaps he is too poor tomore. slightly h e objeve, generousee owes
