Fair, or any officer of the W. P. S, You are one of the large number of Canadians who have felt that it wits a privilege to give to the Prisoners of War Fund. By your help and that of thousads of others, rich and poor alike, throughout the country, the Red Cross was enabled to send its weekly parcels to these gallant and unfortun- ate men, who have suffered perhaps more than any other class; from the cruelty of the Hun. In many cases, as we know positively, these parcels of food stood between the p'risoners and actual starvation, • Now, by God's help and to the immense satisfaction of all their fellow Canadians, the prisoners are being repatriated as quickly as quickly as possible. The need fol' this Fund is, however,not over, as it is im- possible as yet to say how long the Society will be called upon to supply the:needs of the prisoners. Since the signing ,of the Afnsistice, food and medical supplies,. as well :as clothing, 'have been sent .in -bulk to Neutral ,'Countries, for their . use and the So- ciety is prepared to aid 'in any way ,that will facilitate their speedy re- patriation. When, however, there is no further need for this Fund, may we :not all, as a Thank,,Offering for ,Deane,' devote the money, po;longer needed' :'for the prisoners, to a Fund for which 'the Red: Cross is now ,appe'aliijg, to provide comforts ,fon our:.own,nreturn- ed men of Military 'District No.. t in the hospitals here? A greatly enlarg- ed Hospital Committee has been ap- .pointed. and is already engaged In this important and most' necessary work. Authorized visitors, wearing the badge of the Society, are visiting the wards in all Hospitals, twice weekly, and are looking for the men's comfort gener- ally, providing entertainment for their and giving them the personal attention that they have grown accustomed to receiving from the Red Cross in Eng- land and France, 'These are our own men, from our own District, and they are returning to us sick and wounded'. 11 would be a calamity for their sake, and our own too, if we alloyed them to lack anything that will make their 'convalescence more 'pleasant or. will hasten their recovery. We shall be very glad to hear from you as early as possible on this subject, as it is extremely important for us to know what funds are to be available for the use of the Hospital Visiting Committee during the time in which our returned men are to'be in hospitals here.

Dunne was a popular citizen while a resident of the town and took an active interest imthe base ball games and sports. Friday's Stratford Heraldmakesthe following reference to the deceased:— Rev. Father John P. Dunne, who has been sick a. little over a week with first influenza and then pneumonia passed away last night at the General Hospital about nine o'clock.' Father Dunne had been in the city for 'two years as assistant to Rev. Dean McGee at St. Joseph's church. in that short tithe he had made more friends than is 'given to most men in a lifetime. Of a cheery disposition he had always a pleasant word and a ,indly smile for every lose and was universally ibeloved: In his parish work lie was most zealous and highly though of by all. Frons the beginning of the outb eak of influenza he worked almost night and day, taking no care or though for him- self and giving most •magnificent ser- vice. This Ise continued to do right up to tlse time that he was "stricken .down a week ago Tuesday although -warned that in doing without proper rest or taking. any care of himself was courting almost certain death. The late Father Dunne wasp a Son of Mr, Gregory Dunne, of near Wyoming Lambton county. 1 -lis another died about' as year. and a half ago leaving two -daughters, Margaret and Kate and two sons, Nicholas and William all at home, who are now called on to mourn the loss of a' loving and favorite bro. tier, Father Dunne was"destined for the priesthood from his youth and was ordained its London by ,Rev. M. F. Mc- Evoy, Bishop of London, in 1902 et the age of 26. His first charge was Parkhill and here he remained until conning to Stratford as assistant to Dean McGee about two years ago. The remains were taken to Wyom- ing this morning for interment. The mourning family and congregation will have hundreds of friends who join with {hest in their pain and sorrow in 'losing'a priest and a man who to many was as a brother and will be mourned as such.

Mr. Fraser, who is Reeve of the Mor- ris Council, has been active in farmers' work for a number of years. Flis ap- peal during the contest has been to the agricultural section of the community.

Themember-elect is a quiet, reserved twin, He was born on the farm on which he now resides, In his canvassing appeals the one thing which Mr. Fraser laid stress on was that if elected he would do all in his power to bring pressure to bear on the Government to secure a greater equal- ity in the rates of the Hydro Power Commission in the Bruce Peninsula, as compared with those charged in tate Niagara district. .
