TO OUR READERS : It is a very well-known fact that paper, ink, type, indeed everything which goes into the make-up of a newspaper, has gone up very materially in price during the last two years. So serious has become the situation that nearly all the daily papers have raised the price of subscription and many of the local weeklies also have found it necessary to raise the price of a year's subscription from One .Dollar to One Dollar and Fifty Cents. The publisher of The News—Record is desirous of leaving the subscription price at the old figure, but in order to make such a line of action possible it will be necessary for our subscribers to show their loyalty to the paper by bringing or sending in their subscriptions promptly. All arrears must be paid, and every subscription should read one year in advance by the end of 1916. This mould give The News -Record confidence as showing that its many readers appreciate our eftorts to supply a live, newsy weekly paper at the old price. APINISIGHOSINa oing Our Bit All of us cannot fight. All of us—men; women and children—can do something toward:: winning the Weer, Are we seeking that "something," or are we evading it? Are we looking for the Visit" We Abould doe or trying to forget it? Take the Canadian Patriotic Fund. It has been created to care for the families of out toldters in those cases—and those only—where aced exists. experience has shown that this means in two families out of three. Up to' December 1, 1916, the people of Canada have given X16,500,000 to the Fund. That is generous giving, isn't it? But the country is still at war; our armies are still growing; the soldiers' families are still in need; the Fund still must be maintained. And what do we find: in every part of the country filen crying that they have given enough to the Fund—that Government should now take the burden. Given enough! When the Canadian fad in the trenches is dead -tired, ready to drop in his tracks, docs he chuck his job, declare he has given enough, and call on Government to get another man? Given enough I Is there a man in Canada has given enough if women and children are in need while he, thc stay-at- home, has a dollar to spare? No! This Fund, above all fonds, has a claim on every citizen who is not himself a pauper. The fact that Government has not assumed responsibility for it is the fact that makes every man responsible for it—even if he thinks the Fund should be maintained by Government moneys. ' Are YOU helping to istatue this home against nctaill GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT CONT (° OL; g BECAUSE 1. Government would have to treat all alike. The Fund helps only those in need. If Government paid Me families of each soldier the average sum paid by the Fund the extra burden on the country would be between etptltl and nine million dollars yearly. 2. By paying thc average sum those families in districts when cost of living is law would receive morn them they need; those in high-cost areas would be paid too little. 3. Costs of administration would be enormously increased. This work is now done, for tiro meet parts by, willing workers without cost. Of every hundred dollars subscribed, Ninety-nine Dollars and Fo •six Cents go to thin families! Never was a voluntary fund so economically administered. 4. The work would suffer. There would be no more of the friendly, almost paternal, relation now el;ietine between the administrators of the Fund and the families, Government works automatically. The Fund's vieitoers are friends in need, therefore friends indeed. 5. Taxation would be unequal, for some counties and some provinces are already taxing their people far thin Fund. Are they to be taxed again by the Federal authority? 6. The richer classes would be relieved of work they are cheerfully doing, They are now bearing, end bearing because they have the financial power and the patriotic willingness, the larger share of the burden. Why take fano(, them this task, and give it to all, rich and poor? 7. The Fund bleescs him that gives. It is a vehicle for public spirit—a channel for patriotic endeavor. That work of administering it ;has uncovered unknown reservoirs of unselfishness and sacrifice. Men and women isewe thrown themselves into this work because they found in it the "bit" for whichthey looked—their contribution to winning the war. Why stay their hand and stifle their enthusiasm? 8. Last, but not least: Government control means raising the money by selling Government bonds. (love: - snent bonds mean future taxation. And that means that the returning soldiers will pay, through long )cars, a large share of the cost of caring for their families—a cost we, the stay-at-homes, pledged ourselves t0 bear. MEN AND WOMEN OF ONTARIO: Bend your baoke once again to this burden. If you live in the rural districts sec telt that year county commend make grants worthy of the counties and of the cause. If in the towns, start campaigns for individual eubseriptione. And personally, taxed or not taxed, give es you can afford, give as your conselence tells you in your duty, your war_ t3Mc part, in thisday of national sacrifice. The Pend requires $12,100,000 for 1917. Of this Ontario is asked to rats° 88,000,000, ;icing tiro estimated eegsda'*• wont+: of Ontario's families.
