Canada to Raise $2,500,000
'for China Relief
Huron County Objective $12,000
Seaforth Asked For $2,500
Each section of Canada is under
taking t.o raise its share at the na
Clonal appeal of $2,500,000 for Aid to
China Fund. Canada and her allies of
the past war years have watchful
eyes on China. That distressed nation
after eight years of tragic . war is
hungry, war -weary and ravaged by
disease. She has lost ten million of
her people as war casualties, and the
Japanese carried away 400 million
tons of iron end machinery. China's
roads, bridges and towns tv.ere ruth-
lessly destroyed. Transportation is.
paralyzed, inflation 1s. ranhpant ! We
pity such people with this terrible
burden of loss, sorrow, hunger and
despair. Canadians cannot pass by on
the otter side. In helping China we
can also help our Canadian economy.
This is what happens to contrib-
uted fluids: "Monies raised this..year
for Canadian .Aid. to China are ex-
pended in. Canada for Canaclian'goods,
which are distributed in China for
relief purposes under the supervision
of a committee of. Canadians resident
in Clliila. Seaforth's citizens have
given consistently to worthy appeals.
Give now, to halt thebreeding of
communism, to relieve the agonies of
hinnau beings, by giving that land of
help that really counts in 1947.
Local hanks are 'authorized to ac-
cept
scept contributions to Canada Aid to
China Fund. The appeal is on during
January. Please help, now !
In the promotion of the Canada
Aid to China Appeal, Rev. H. V.
Workman .has been asked to head
the local effort.
