Families of Sailors

Families Destitute.
J'fany dependents of crews of ships

Marine and Naval Service are in
dire necessity, There is no patriotic
fund or pension system covering their
cases, despite the fact that this class
of the community is the one upon
which we depend most. Without sail-
ors to man our ships, the trade. of
the Empire would cease and our
shores be open to invasion.
L'p. to the present, comparatively
little relief work has been clone for
this class in Canada, but the situa-
tion is being rapidly impl:oved by the
formation of new branches of the
Navy League throughout the Domin-
ion under His Excellency the Duke of
Devonshire, who is Vice -President of
the Navy League of Great Britain.
A Sailors' ,Day will be held on De-
cember 8th, when a general appeal
will be made for funds to carry as-
sistance to many families whose
head is on the high seas, or who, in
many cases, has given up his life de-
fending the Empire's shores.,
The Rods so raised will be admin-
istered by. the Navy League, and a
proportion will bo devoted to Can-
adian sailors, who in increasing num-
bers, are going Into the Navy and
Mercantile Matisse, and who as a
class are about tate poorest Paid in
the world. The need is t,rgent, end
the League. is hoping for a generous
response.

The Price of Your
r
Local Newspaper
T1:1h1 cost of living has nearly doubled clueing the peat fifteen years.
Almost everything in ccnunon use has risen in price, Your
weekly newspaper has remained a dollar a year without variation
-'-' 40erea•--
The printers and publishers have not escaped having to pay
the higher cost of living and publishing.
They pay what others pay for the necessities of life.
Even before the war broke out, the old dollar rate was known
no be unprofitable. It costs at least $1.50 to produce a good
weekly newspaper—this even when it has a good circulation,
and when circulations aro small the $1,50 rate is scarcely
enough.
Bet the war has made the dollar rate quite impossible. Paper
prices have jumped alarmingly, Ink prices have doubled,
trebled, quadrupled. Many colored inks are quite off the
market. Monoline metal is terribly high. And so we could
go on reeltiog the dismal tale of higher publishing costs,
What wo want to do is to let you see for yourself that in the
face of these things, only one thing is left open to lis—it is t0
raise the price of The News -Record to $1:50 a year.
---' r4minC- -^
YOUR weekly newspaper is rendering this community a service no
city daily can. No daily gives space to local news and affairs as
The News -Record does, No City daily publishes the advertising
of local merchants. If you had to depend solely on ,t city daily for
local news yen would cry out for your local weekly,
On and after January 15111, the new rate of $1.50 will go into
effect. We ask you and all the good people of Clinton and
Huron County and neighborhood to fall in with the new rate
—just because it is an honest price and because you are fair.
