Earl Rowe, P.C., M.P, for the riding. ; When asked about this plan, Mr. Rowe siad: "As a lifetime resident of a rural community, 1 appreciate the}. importance of the weekly newspaper. It keeps me in touch with my friends and neighbours, as no other medium can do. : "I believe most people depend as I do' on' their home-town newspaper for news. This interest in the affairs of friends and neighbours must be par- ticularly trite in the case of those who are serving us overseas. My contri- bution in making sure that men and women in the forces from my riding receive their local newspaper is only a small thing compared with what they are sacrificing." Under this plan, newspapers in the riding carry an- advertisement with 'a coupon attached. Residents are in- vited to fill in the coupon to the news- paper and. the subscription will be ar- ranged. Members of the forces from some sections of the district and have parents or blood relations living there. It is not necessary for the individual to have enlisted within Dufferjn- Simcoe to qualify. Individuals. serv- ing overseas who are already subscrib- ing will come. under the plan when their present paid-up subscription expires. gi Several hundred subscriptions have already been taken out, and grateful letters from men and women serving overseas give striking evidence that they are glad to get the home town news. x NO "WAR FORTUNES" IN BRITAIN : One thing is certain: the rich in Britain are not "making a good thing out of the war."
