Even though the amount raised by each section be small, the total would he a splendid dona-' tfion towards the bronze memor- ial to be raised to this noble .martyr. The,Minister of Educa- 'tion has `given his hearty appro- , val to the suggestion. 2" Something to remember: And he gavelit. for his opinion, that `whoever could make two ears of 41' .._..... .\.-. tn f`Remember_ this, says the Guelph Mercury, that a, man can` jshow a lot. more patriotism this `year by waving a hoe th`an'he can L by flopping a ag. To mark the ftieth anniver- sary -' of the establishment of 0rillia sv rst newspaper, (The Expositor), The Times last week published ' a -~.spe`cial edition of twenty pages, containing at large amount of `historical matter of great value that is sure . to be highly prized by Orillians at home and '-abroad. The special articles .cover different` `phases of the town life of Orilli-a, and_ some of the progress made in the last half century is well set forth in word and illustration. It is pleasing. to note that in this important work, The Times had the co-op- eration of its local contemporar- ies. C. H.

Total contributions, up to Dec- ember 3*lst. last amounted to $18,243,032 while the amount. ex- pended for _ relief t.otalled $12,36'l.O86. ' The number of families in receipt of relief was given as 51,871: and the_ number of individuals :l/14,825. Some people may wonder at the eontin_ ued appeals for the Fund when it has such a surplus as is shown by the foregoing statement. When peace is declared contributions to the Canadian Patriotic Fund will cease, but disbursements will need~to be kept up until the Can- adian forces are demobilized which will take -many months. For this reason it is essential that the . Fund be sufficiently maintained to provide a surplus equal to the demands upon it at`.- ter the war is over. ` Here is some pretty good ad- Vice from The. `Windsor Record: ` }0'out anlong the `peoplegspread the gosel of good cheer.

Apparently the Council paid no attention to the Chiefs suggestion.` ' At the next `meeting of the Board of Trade one of the ques- tions which should be taken up is that. of thewednesday half holi- day during July and August.

' A salvage of $26,000 from the B.C.I. ruins if the building de- stroyed in December is to be re- constructed makes a strong argu- ment in` favor of the Blake St. site..Yet the amount is" not suffi- cient to outweigh the claims for a more central location. if a suit- able site can `be secured at a reasonable price and if new plans, would not call for an expenditure` greatly in excess ofvthe, cost, of` reconstruction.

One is the s.l1ort.a.2e of time and the otheri tli'c element of labor. Ontario` has only one man on every 100' acres. Farmers from Quebec andl the llniled States have hll` broug'ht in. but they have been} sent for the most part to the; western provinces. In` Ontario g'reat dependence is being placed, year. 2.000 in number, proved their c_ompet-enc_v. A second class. to whom the province is looking: are the retired, farmers in the" towns and cities and villages. T01 these two;poI`tions of the coin- -munit_v in particular and to every man, woman and child in a gen- eral way, the government is look- ing for assistance. Mr. Somer- villeassured the audience that thehnys would be looked after in every way on the farms.
