r w The Canadian Patriotic Fund The Canadian Patriotic Fund has been established for the purpose of providing adequate adequate assistance to the family of every soldier from Canada, who enlists for Active Service, and also of "rendering temporary aid.to men invalided home to Canada by reason of sickness sickness and wounds. The Fund was incorporated by the Dominion Parliament last August, His Majesty the King is Patron, and His Royal- Highness the Duke of Connaught is President. It is now caring for approximately Nineteen Thousand Families at a monthly expenditure of about $380,000. The cost of operation of the Fund is very low. The bank interest which the money provided by the subscribers has earned ^ has been ample to cover every expense in connection with the administration of the Fund up to date. Let it be borne in mind that every dollar which has been subscribed to this Fund is available for the Soldiers' Families. Not one cent has been used for expenses. The Demands on the Fund Are Constantly Increasing The Fund is Dominion-wide. Each municipality pays in what it can and withdraws withdraws for relief what it needs. In this way the burden of a place that has sent many married men is partly borne by places that have sent few men. Each case of need is. investigated by a local committee. The Fund Assures a Decent Living to Needy Dependents Our lives, our homes, our property--all is at stake. We might better sacrifice something something now to insure Great Britain's success than have everything confiscated by the German Conqueror. The time has come for everyone to be doing his bit. Bowmanville must show that its sympathies are right, that it will back our brave boys in the trenches to the last dollar. Now then-- *" Every Shoulder to the Wheel SIR GEORGE E.
