HOW DIFFERENT FROM THE
ACTION OF THE HURON C. C.
(Itidgetown Dominion.)
Kent Cbunty Council has done the right thing in voting
$8,000 for patriotic purposes, with the promise of Snore
when that is exhausted. Tho vote needs no justification,
and might have been larger without danger of provoking hos-
tile comment, in comparison with what other counties have
given we have no reason aro become )unduly proud, yet it is a
' beginning and a sign that the right spirit is present, We
are glad to learn from, the Chatham News, "There was not
a council member who .objected in the slightest to the sug-
gestion of a contribution or who hp word or action showed
the slightest weakness in the patriotism of tate county."
Diffe,reaces of opinion as to plan and amount count as noth-
ing compared with the doing of something worthy of so
rich and prosperous a county as Kent.
In making this grant and also future grants for the same
purpose the Kent Comity Council need have no fear of the
people. The people. of I{ent are loyal to a man, and to a
woman, as has been manifested by the read}: response to ap-
peals of all kinds made necessary by this war. .Every )nun-
icipalita, yes every school section, has its orgarvization of
men and women working in the good cause. Money ,has heed
cheerfully: given, also clothing, and all kinds of supplies furnish
ed freely and the work will go on as long as it, is necessary.
Yet it was highly important and proper that Kent Comity
officially through its council should act. The Dominica -ful:y
agrees with the following in Saturday's Chatham Planet :.
"Through this action Kent has been placed definitely on
the map as a liigbly patriotic centre, and this reputation is
all the more deserved through the assurance that comes from
the council to the elTect that as soon as more money is ro;
quired it will be 'forthcoming, It was to be expe,ted howev-
er that a body of nam who are as thoroughly loyal and rep-
resentative as the members of the county council would take
such action,"
PIIFITII COUNTY GIVES ONE MILL ON THE DOLLAR.
(Lis towel Standard.)
Moved by Reeve A. W. Featherstone of Listowel, -seconded
by .Reeve George Rastner of Downie :
That the County of Perth grant to the Canadian Patriovie
Fund, a, sum equivalent to one !Hill on the dollar, it neces-
sary, upon the equalized assessment of the County, payment
to bo made at the rate of $1,400 per month.
Above is the .motion which was carried by itis Perth
County Council, at the Court House, on Wednesday morning
of last week.
What One Mill Means.
Approximately, one mill on the dollar means a grant of
.:',32,740. This will be a contribution worthy of Perth Coma
ty. The tax will aot be levied until 1915, however,
