Yet less than British Columbia is giving; if measured oa a Per capita basis; mud.bef kless if measured by ability to pay. There will be no difficulty in securing the SIX Millions if three courses are followed: hree Courses 1. If all County Councils make reasonably large grants' to the national Fund. 1 undertake 2. If all towns, whether separated from their counties or not, will u dorsa campaigns for voluntary subscriptions. 3. If all citizens, in town or country, contribute fairly according to their means. As to No. 1. The County Councils are beginning well. Simcoe has decided to largely increase its grant. For 1917 it will be the generous sum of$1120,000. Victoria; another county patriotic to the core, has doubled its t; jumping it from $2,500 a month in 1926 to 065,000 in 1917. The majority of the County Councils will, ecide at the January sessions how large their, grants will be. Public opinion will have great influence on the Councils. very county ratepayer, sympathetic towards the Fund, should write or speak to his representative on the Council; i endorsing a liberal grant. The small tax of three mills on the dollar raises a sum that constitutes a handsome con. ' tribution. As to No. 2. Many towns ignore the duty of holding campaigns. This applies particularly to towns which pay n county tax. Yet this tax never represents a fair or just contribution to the Fund from mcn of moderate or large "means. Practically it is based on what the poorer men can afford. The richer should give much more; and they can Ise reached only through a popular campaign. To relieve anxiety these campaigns should be held in January or. ,iRebrnary.' Will not patriotic men and women in every town take up this duty? They can get all information as to organization and methods by writing to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, Ottawa. And the Fund will assist them also with a campaign of advertising. • As to No. 3. Patriotism of the individual is the basis of the Fund. Everything is built on it. If he will not make some sacrifice for the sake of the mothers, wives and children of the men at the front, the Fund suffers, and they suffer with it. The average family on the Fund requires $200 a year from it. It is the duty—it should be considered the Privilege—of every Canadian stayat-home to ask himself: For how many weeks, at $4 a week, rgust1, in self-- respect and in gratitude, take care of one of these families? If my county taxation for this purpose merit that I ane taking care of only one family for one week when I could do more, am I doing the right thing? The answer to these questions will be found when he sits down and mails his e�trq gift to the Treasurer of his 1,iocai Fund; or to ' Ontario Is being asked tonsure the Canadian Pstelotic hand that it 010 depend on having six a&i hlon doilarate lor7 far 411e famlll,.:s of On.
