What One Man Thinks
or the Action of
Huron Co. Council
The action of the County Conn-,
cil in refusing to make 'grant to
the 17tififop Overseas 'Batitalion to
aid recruiting came as'a i:omplete •
urprise- to the majority( of pea -
We, To think thatthe governing.,
body of one of the largest and
ueahiesit counties in the wealthy
Province of ,Ontario could act in
such an unpatriotic mannei'. wlas,
l eyond the 'belief of the oidin-
'ai^
Y man.
In attlempting to place .the re-
sponsibility on the Dominion Gos'-
elllnein't oniy made their action
more than contemptible, 19 Was
Y
cow ai •
d,iy .
It is not the duty of the Gov-
errrtaneari to aid recruiting, , ;that
duty belongs to the citizen and
on the manner in' which it is
performed depends largely the
greater or less distance' we are
from Conscription. The time has
arvised in the history of this,coun-
tiy for a most rigid self -e gamin,
anon We must ask ourse66veshow.
many men Huroii county has con-
tributed in comparison with • the
Cities where "hundreds of •shiftiess
young s mein are hanging around"
as was stated by one member of
the County Council. The compari-
son would ,not red mond to 'the(
credit of this smug self-satisfied
County. •
It will be necessary to carry this
self -e eamination even closer to
the individual and wet will, ask.
our,sevlel what WE have done in
the GREAT WAR,
Are WE of military age and fit-
ness or have we sons/ who are eli-
gible and are WE or MA' in
I IIAIiI, LF 1.07'
WTI'," NOT?
We must answer this question
and give some reason to ourselves•
at ]cast,
Can every member of the Coun-
ty Council give a satisfactory ans-
wer to this queslioni
The object of Recruiting Leagues
is to awaken to the ind•i.vidital a
proper sense of his responsibility
to the State.
The 18,st Battalion Overseas
must recruit twelve 9endred men
in, Enron County by spring and.
every citizen with' e spark of pat-
riotism within him:sh'ould use every
0(101.1 to accomplish this result.
Every member of the Council
(Nilo voted against; the grant for
recruitleo shoulct'be defeated at
the polls as surely; then' action
',lows they do• not represent the
the letting of the people.
