The following letter was received by

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

Canadian Patriotic Fund
Ottawa, 23rd June, 1015
As time goes on ancl the number of
men which Canada is sending to the front
increases, the demand on the Canadian
Patriotic Fund constantly grow, ' This
month we shall assist upwards of sixteen
thousand families at an expenditure
amounting to nearly 3300,000.00, Dur-
ing the summer 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 cif $1000.00 a month
is being regularly paid, there does not
seem to be any money conning in from
Huron County as the result of voluntary
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 pat-
riotic meetings and stimulating interest;
but from Huron, with the $135,25 from
I'Iensall received on the 26th April, ]]oil]
ing has come in during the past three
months. Would id: not be possible for
your Committee to undertake to stimu-
late interest through the County in the
Fund? We shall need generous con-
tributions if the work is to continue, and
I am sure that there must be many
pcopie 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 county press
you ought to be able to work up a splend
idcampaign,
I shal i ery glad to hear from ypu
on this matter at your early convenience.
