ATKEY - - Editor and 'Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1947 CANADIAN AID TO CHINA uron County residents again 'are ,being asked to Q-) ad in !a very worthy cause, that of Canadian Paid -�- 1 to China. Those who heard Dr. Stewart Allen, a returned medioail missionary, in St. Paul's Anglican Church Sunday evening, can have no doubt whatever re- garding the great need' for the carrying' on of the work among the millions of starving and suffering people. The County's share of Canada's objective of $2,500,000 is only $12,500, while the Town of Clinton and Townships- of Goderich and Stanley are " expected to raise from $2;000 to $2,500. Donations may be made at any branch bank in the County. Letters will be sent out in Clinton and the two Townships, with a follow-up canvass in Clinton. China stands today at the tlhreahold of a new national !life, troubled and confused; her national economy shattered by nine years of war; millions of her people hungry, naked and homeless; -and over 'all the pall of suffering and disease. The present 'Canadian Aid to China .appeal will be the only appeal in Canada in 1947 far aid to China. UNRAA ceases to function' in China in March 1947. Canadian Aid to China supplies are distzihnted in. China under the direction of an advisory committee room posed of Canadians resident in China, and under lihe 'strict supervision in the field orf a number of Canadians who give fullhnnne servieb to this work. Na Canadian Aid to China supplies find their way into the black market; your gift goes to the people for whom it is intended, Huron County's response should be generous. 0 0 OUR NEW GTTIZENSHIP STATUS Tlle Canadian Citizenship Act came intoforce the first of the year and appropriate citizenshipcere- monies have been taking place throughout Canada during Citizenship Week. The outstanding features of the Act •are: • 1 -For the first time, our naturalization statute states that a Canadian citizen is a British subject; 2-A native-born Canadian, or a British subject domi- I' oiled inCanada, brides of Canadian servicemen, and all I those who now possess naturalization certificates, are declared to be Canadian citizens immediately. 3—The Aot provides for the establishment and recog- nition of Canadian citizenship. Ail 'Canadian passports will carry the words, „Canadian citizen," a right which in various circumstances, was not !general! before. 4—The status of British subject is maintained and. recognized, with the advantage that Canadian Citizenship papers will rbe supplied upon request after the legalperiod of residence. Once in possession of citizenship papers, they will have the right ,of entry into Canada and the right to Canadian diplomatic protection. 5 -Women who marry Canadians will qualify for Canadian citizenship one year after establishing residence. 6—Recognition of t'h, status of British subjects is shown in clauses which provide that all British 'subjects now in, Canada are declared to lie Canadian citizens. Certificates will be issued upon application. Non -Canadian British subjects coming to Canada, will obtain certificates in the same wary after establishing legal •residence. No court room ceremony will be necessary. • 7—The Act recognizes the right of women to decide their own nationality. 'A. Canadian woman, who marries a man of any other nationality, may retain Canadian citizen- ship if she so wishes, 8—Nor.-Canadians who served in the Canadian armed forces outside of Canada, qualify for citizenship after one year of such service. 9—Naturalized -Canadians will lose their citizenship if they stay out of Canada for six years or mare. 10 ---The Act provides for" encouragement; of education to citizenship for diose applying for naturalization.
