WINGItAM DID NOBLY
The Citizens' Response to the
Appeal from the Mother.
land is $6500.
'Give, and give liberally, wa%the im-
pulse that actuated the people of
Wingham in their response to the
appeal for assistance for the British
Red Croat Society. The people without
exception opened Their pu_ses and per-
mitted their money to convey to the
world their deep sympathy and loyalty
to the motherland and the cause of the
allies in the great European War.
Four thousand five hundred was Wing -
ham's response.. •
The first suggestion of organization
soon grew into a wave of enthusiasism
and under the guidance of executive
ability and aggressiveness of the, com-
mittee in 'charge, the campaign
details were arranged in a manner
that the outcome was success beyond
11 expectations The town was divided
into wards. The collectors found their
task easy There was no hesitatiti or
faltering. "A day's pay" seemed to
be the slogan and the citizens looked
upon it as a duty to perform and gave
liberally and cheerfully, and perhaps if
the facts were known, there were cases,
which parallel "the widow's mite" in
the spirit of self-denial. While the col-
lecting proceeded, the people were kept
informed of the progress made by a
large dial that was displayed in Mr. W.
G. Patterson's Store Window. As the
hands travelled the interest became
more intense until the whole town
seemed to have been seized with the
desire to give,.. The canvass was made
systematically. The corps of workers
seemed desirous of making the best
possible showing, and no pains were
spared in getting in touch with the
people where the prospects indicated
another contribution to the list.

To give <a fitting windup to the canvas,
Mayor Irwin had proclaimed Thursday
afternoon a half holiday, which was
spent in sports in the town park. Dur-
ing the baseball tournament a number
of ladies acting as police women were
active and succeeded in raising $25.72
from fines imposed upon transgressors
of the law, (written and unwritten).
An auction sale of various articles
donated for the purpose, realized the
handsome sum of $70.77, while three
little children, two boys and a girl,
dressed as a nurse and two soldiers,
attracted much attention, and collected
the sum of $4.01. In the evening a con-
cert of good local talent was given in
the opera house, and was well patroniz-
ed by our townspeople, The proceeds
of the concert amounted to $200.
Historical association seemed to add
interest to the day. "Trafalgar Day',
with all its significance to the British
Empire, was a fitting occasion for a
test of loyalty and liberality. The
citizens of Wingham measured up to
the test in every way and established a
markworthy of the importance of the
town. and which does justice to their
sentiments in regard to the great war.
With every dollar that was gathered in,
there was Linked a determination that
if money was needed there would be
more to follow until the triumphant
day when victory shall rest on the arms
of the Allies. Our contribution shows
how truly the hearts of the Canadian
people are with the motherland and that
her war is their war and that it must
be carried to the conclusion that will
mean the destruction of Prussian
militarism.
The four days' work is particularly
gratifying, not only to those who were
actively identified with the campaign,
but to the citizens generally. They
have established a record indicative of
the town's prosperity and the generosity
of the people. The total amount,
$6,500, of course, includes the grant of
$2000 from the town council, The
appeal to the province was for $500,01)0.
Had Wingham contributed according to
this request theamount would have been
under $1000. Under existing conditions
the town has contributed considerably
in excess of one dollar per capita. It
was a glorious achievement,
Parcels Wrapped Poorly.
The postoffice department advises the
public that a great number of parcels
for prit3oners of war in Germany have
been found unfit for transmission .ow-
ing to inadequate packing. The fault
ie mainly due to loose packing, brown
paper or cardboard. Heavier materials
must be used.

Red Cross Society Offers Reward
Stories are being circulated that the
Canadian Red Cross Society is selling
articles contributed to the • organiza-
tion for disthibution among the sol-
diers. For instance it is said that a
lumberman in Winnipeg found a card
from the donor of a pair of socks which
he bought. So many stories of such a
wicked character have been circulated'
that Mr.
by certain people, .Noel Mar- .
shall, Toronto, chairman of the Canadi-
an Red Cross, has personally offered a
reward of $100 for the conviction of any
person repeating this libel upon the So -
The following cable received
ie
C sty.g
from General Hodgetts, speaks of itself.
It was addressed to Mr. Marshall --
"Report that Canadiad Red Cross Soci-
ety selling any supplies whatever abso-
lutely preposterous." Mr. Marshall
not only vigorously denies these stories'
about the selling of supplies, but also
declares that no salary whatever is
paid to any officer of the organization,
but merely to the necessary stat;: in
handling the enormous quantities of
supplies received daily.
PATRIOTIC SOCIETY NOTES.
October -21st, Trafalgar Day, may be
recorded as a Red Letter Day in the
history of the Ladies' Patriotic Society.
On that day every member of the
Society was doing her bit to help the
British Red Cross, About thirty ladies
sold tags, realizing the sura of 8197.00.
A sale of home-made baking and candy
brought $61.00. Mrs. Herdsman sub-
scribed $10.00 through our Society.
We are pleased to be able to state that
our Treasurer handed over to the Tra-
falgar Day committee the sum of $250
as our contribution to the British Red

due to all who assisted with this worn.
On October 21st, we forwarded to the
Canadian Red Cross Headquarters at
Toronto. 013 jars of preserved fruit,
jelly, jam, marmalade, etc. This in-
cluded a shipment of 70 jars from the
Whitechurch Society. We are indebted
to all those who so kindly helped with
the packing, etc; , of this large ship-
tneht and extend to them our sincere
thanks.
It is expected that a high class con-
cert will be advertised for an early
date, the proceeds' to be devoted to
Canadian Red Cross work. Watch for
notices,
Again we urgently request our
knitters to resume their work and we
are still calling f' r volunteers for this

Patrick and Francis streets.) Writing
from the Dardanelles, M. R. Winters,
who is with No. 3 Staitonary Military
Hospital, says: "If you think it will be
any satisfaction for them to know, you
can tell the women who have been busy
making bandages and other things for
the Red Cross, that their work is bring-
ing untold comfort to hundreds of
wounded soldiers : nd sailors here.
Signed, F. E. Campbell, Secretary.

Death came with startling suddenness
to Mr. John McDonogh, at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Sidney Dolmage, in

in leis 78th year, hemorrage of the
brain being the cause, The deceased

Wingham, coming here when quite a
young man, and resided here for a
great many years. He moved to Sea -
forth about ten years ago and purchased
the residence of Mrs, J. P. Brine in
flerpurhey and resided there until the
death of his wife about five years ago,
since which time he has spent most of
his time with his daughter, Mrs. Dol -
mage. Mr. McDonogh was employed
as bridgebuilder on the G. T. R. and
was an intimate friend of the late
Crombie Dallas. Although of a quiet
disposition, he was a kind, eChristian
man and a highly respected resident,
and his sudden removal came as a
groat shock to his family and friends
He is survived by four daughters and
four sons: Mrs. Miller, Kingsville;
:lits. Bowden and Mrs, Alteman, Brant,
ford: and Mrs. S. Dolmage, McKillop;
John, Joseph and William, Toronto;

A patriotic concert for the benefit of

evening, Oct 22. A splendid program

feature.of the evening was an address
by Major J. C. Tolmie, M. P. P., of

men the duty of serving their King and
country on the battlefield. There was

enunt of illness, who was expected to
