WIEN and women of Ontario—it is time that we should all realize the terrible com-
pleteness of the fire calamity that devastated Northern Ontario in the early days of October. Fires and
calamities we have had before, but never such complete destruction as 'this.
Over 1,244 square miles laid desolate, town after town nothing but a bleak expanse of ruins, hundreds of farms
swept bare, thousands of your fellow citizens "cleaned out" and thrown abruptly back into man's primeval struggle
against nature and her grim forces: fire, hunger, ice and the stark northern cold.
Give 1,800 families a fighting chance to get on their feet.
Temporary relief must go on. We must not fail the North.
Winter—the relentless foe
Coming as this terrible fire did, in the autumn,
with the harvests in, with the townspeople
already preparing for the rigors of winter—the
complete destruction wrought is the harder to
overcome.
Thousands of people at first had literally no
place to lay their head, little to wear and nothing
to eat. They had to 'be taken care of at first,
somehow, and then, desperately as the days went
by, and the cold grew more intense, rough but
serviceable standard shacks, 16' x 20',
have been replacing tents, old street
cars, packing boxes and sheet iron—a
regular food supply has been es-
tablished, and rough clothing is being
distributed.
What can a man do with
his house a blackened hole
in the ground, his barn a
charred heap, his work
shop a twisted pile of
rubbish—and a northern
blizzard raging over all?
Temporary Relief Until Spring
In the name of humanity we must see these
fellow citizens through until Spring opens up the
land and general business activities are resumed.
Money must be forthcoming from the citizens
of Ontario, from municipalities, industries, soci-
eties, public bodies, lodges, churches, etc.—not
for rehabilitation or re-establishment, but for the
supply of bare necessities, "temporary relief"
in fact, to the stricken North.
The Brighter Side of the Picture
Everywhere throughout the fire swept district
one hears only a strong, manly note of confidence,
of resolution to go forward, to "stick to the
country" if body and soul can be held together,
to make good once more, to restore the hundreds
of burned farms, to rebuild the eight or ten
destroyed towns—And it will be done if the
stream of temporary relief from Old Ontario
does not dry upI
All for One—One for All
Here is a portion of our Province in ruins,
and for the sake of the whole Province as well
as for its own sake, this section must be restored
to prosperity and happiness. We need the North,
we need its vigorous, pioneering spirit so one
and all, let's "give a hand into the saddle"—
and do it NOW,.
Money is needed. The Relief Com-
mittee can buy in large quantities,
get big discounts, and often free
gifts of merchandise from the many
manufacturers who are generously
co-operating with the Committee.
The exact needs are now known.
The Northern Ontario Fire Relief
Committee
has been enlarged and now is thoroughly represen-
tative of the Province of Ontario. The Provin-
cial Government is co-operating to the fullest
extent and is doing everything that a Govern-
ment can properly do to assist in temporarily
relieving the fire sufferers.
To give immediate relief the Committee must secure actual cash. without delay. If eac'a municipality or
county woulddevise some means of raising an amount equal, to one halfmill on the total assessment the relief can
be continued. The raising of relief funds could be undertaken by public spirited citizens, clubs,, churches or
councils and provides a most deserving cause for Christmas giving. Now it is up to every community in Ontario
to help a neighbouring district in its hour of trial. Make cheques payable ,to—
