An appeal trom the Poreupine Consolidaâ€" ted Patriotie Club appears in this isâ€" sue. â€" ltead it andâ€"heed it. The Porâ€" cupine ‘should not fall down,â€"must not fallâ€"down,â€"on this! Up to Monday niwht this week the total raised was $32,848. ~There are a number of the heser subserintions a number of the hgeger subsceriptions yet to secure, including the Hollinger Consolidated, but estimating these all in, the Objective would not even then be reached, so the people in general must save the day hy extra effort. OF the $32,848 now paid or pledged, South Porcupine gave $2172, Tisdale Townsluip $2000 Schumaecher $1595; Most of the ‘‘Big Ones‘‘ Not Yet Inâ€" cluded in Patriotic Fund 932,845 COLLECTED IN THE PORGUPINE Pledge cardas at any bank . So that the Porcupine may not show itself a slacker, the campaign has been extended for one more week. If you have not contributed, do so at once. If you have not been canvassed, canvass yourself, If by effort or sacrifice you can increase the subscription you have already made, do so. Is the amount you have subscribed a fit and proper payment for the liberty and safety you have enjoyed? What about this "liberty" talk you shoot? Are you paying for rt? Does YOUR subscription satisfy your conscience when you think it over in cold blood. If it doesn‘t, set yourscolf right.with yourself by making your subscription right . "support them to the last man and the last dollar," and we must make good. The people of the Porcupine must take the matter seriouslyâ€"â€"and feel the responsibility resting on them. The Red Cross must be supported fully in its work of caring for the sick and wounded, and supplying comforts to the soldiers overseas} the Patriotic Fund must be supported fully in its work of providing for the wives and children and other dependents of the brave men fighting for us and the Porcupine must do its share. Porcupine‘s share is placed at $50,000, and that amount must be raised. We cannot afford to fall down on this. Surely it is little enough that we can do in return for the comfort and safety we enjoy through the efforts and sacrifices made by the soldiers for whom these funds are raised. After the six days‘ campaign for funds for the Patriotic Fund and the Red Cross, a total of $32,848 has been paid or pledged in the Porcupine. This is a good showing, <but it is not good enough. . The amount aimed at was $50,000, and this amount must be secured or the Porcupine will, be shamed . The soldiers overseas depend on us to fulfil our pledge to For the Honor of the Porcupine the Porcupine do its p $50,000 for the Red C itlus! night ithis week the $32,848. ~There are Ingf:( r_subseriptions uding the Hollinger}} estimating these all | [b An Open Letter to the People of this Camp At the Timmins Vohunteer Five Briâ€" gade meeting on Pi’idfly‘(2(1(‘;13'1:::, Chief A.
