Mr. Thompson gave a very clear outline of the organization for the Dominion, the province, and the various districts. This district ran north from Ramore and as far west as Hearst.

Fred Milne Winner of Scholarship Given by 1 Robert Simpson Company The organization meeting was presâ€" ided over by Mr. T. Tod, who is the chairman for the town organization. Mr. Tod explained that the sale of war savings stamps, certificates, and Victory Bonds is now combined, instead of beâ€" ing conducted in separate groups as formerly. He explained that the local setâ€"up was similar to the organization for the districts provinces and the Domâ€" inion. He made it very clear that the sale of war savings stamps and bonds can not be allowed to lag, if the public are to do their full part in the war efâ€" fort. The expenditures toâ€"day for war purposes were as much in a year as for the whole of the last war. This money had to be raised and he urged all to continue and increase their purchase of war savings stamps and bonds to the very limit, All should be ready to realâ€" ly make personal sacrifice to do this. ‘"You might even forget that _ new suit, or something else that gou may be able. to get along without," said Mr. Todd, "and put the money thus saved into war staimps and bonds." He pointed out, that many people would have more money this year for these purposes in view of the bans on motor cars and other things. Canada had been spendâ€" ing $100,000,000 in a year ~for motor cars, he said; and present conditions should leave this amount ready for war savings. It was a case of Canada inâ€" vesting money in victory or taking the chance of Hitler coming here and takâ€" ing money and everything else. Mr. Tod gave figures showing the cost of the war and other facts, 8 There was a wellâ€"attended meeting of the Timmins National War Pinance Committee in the town hall last week to further organize for the work before them. There were about sixty present at the meeting, including a group of ladies who were particularly active in helping the sale of war saving stamps. Bo enterprising is this group of enthusâ€" lasts for war savings stamps that they gave special evidence to this effect durâ€" ing the meeting.

In addition to Mr. Little a repâ€" resentaive of the Department of Finâ€" ince was present at the meeting. The reneral situation outlined was as ‘The campaign for funds to maintain the work of the Salvation Army on the Home Pront is now under way throughâ€" ’out Canada. In Timmins a strong committee is being formed with Mr. Austin Neame as chairman and support. ed by other leading citizens. The numâ€" ber of other calls at this time is making it difficult for all the friends of the Salâ€" vation Army to give the time given in previous years to the work of organizâ€" ation and arrangements and as a conâ€" sequent the general public will need to respond the more prompntly to the presâ€" ent call. Some confusion seems to exâ€" ist because there was a general impresâ€" sion that there was to be no public apâ€" peals for funds for any of the war serâ€" vices this year as the government was financing them all. The government is paying the costs of the overseas work of the Salvation Army, together with that of the Legion the K, of C. and other war services. But this is only for the overseas effort. ‘There is no provision for the Army‘s work on the Home Pront.. IThe work on the Home Front is equally essential. Indeed, unless the Home FPront was able to carry on, it would be imposible to continue the overseas efâ€" fort.. Of course, the whole notable work for the soldiers is officered and upheld by the Home Front organization It may also be added‘that many of the present Home Front expenses are due to the overseas work, one example of this being the fact that wool purchased 'for Red Shield workers in Canada is paid for out of Home Front funds and not provided for in the government grant. It is also well to remember that the work on the Home Front is greatly increased by the war â€" soldiers families being a special care of the Salvation Army in its unusual work. There is no provision for this extra effort in the government grant. Instead of tha Salâ€" vation Army putting on an "extra‘" drive for Home Front work this year the Army is makingâ€" only one appeal instead of the two in other years. In the ordinary peace year the Salvation Army made two separate appeals for its Home Front work and the fact that the public resâ€" ponded in such generous way to both proves the necessity and the value of the work and the general appreciation,. However, the whole point may be coverâ€" ed by simply stating the fact that the present campaign has the approval of (Continued on Page Three) hi 164 Ortage ATM )6 h Single Copyâ€"Five Cents GovernI OT ITi 6 The Pioncer Paper of the Porcupine.
