THE WAR MEMORIAl.
You Have a Chance to Give Whether
Canvassed or Not
The canvass for funds for tho erection
of a Memorial to Wingham's fallen heroes
in the late war is failing far short, While
all returns are not yet made still there is
sufficient evidence to show that only a
fraction of the amount will be subscribed.
Those who are giving are doing so gener-
ously but there are a great many who are
well able to donate that are shirking their
duty behind some excuse. Surely we can-
not forget the boys who for the sake of
their country and their loved ones at
home are lying cold in Flanders. Had it
not been for the Canadian boys we be-
lieve that this country would now be
under the iron heel of the Prussian war
lords, and what would our homes and
property be worth not to Say anything
about the slavery which our mothers,
wives and sweethearts would be subject
to. Surely we should be grateful enough
to build a memorial in honor of those
dead heroes.
It has been said and we believe rightly
too, that the town council should have
gone ahead as other municipalities have
done and granted $5,000 orso for this
__
cause. If they had done this, the rate-
$10175 11
