Take this' for Instance. There ls
only one married' man In 'my district ‘ that left hls home. wlfe and children to flght for King a|1d`Cou1itry, an1l_'t‘q uphold our freedom so that we would _not be deported lt1ké~tlie Belglans. Now has not this man a rfght to have _his wife and chll1L~.'en supported' ivlille he is representing its and rliiklng his life' for ua`?
Yes, I saythat every nittn and ivo-
mim has a duty to contribute to tl11 support of those our bravevnluiileerii have left behind them. »Eve1'_v‘ far- mer ln the viclnlty has 11 ijtgIit'_to_glv¢= ri share of what they raise to tliém, for It is pnly just. and If they do not do so they keep that which is not theIr'f1' hut the widows and orphans

Now. if some of those gosslps and*
slilrkers who seek excuses for shut- tlng their pockets would' do as'I have' done ln my district. go through and put the matter plainly and honestly before' the people they would do some- thing for which they would dencrite credit. I went through my dlstrlct Home time ago and got promlseii for $180, besl1Z'e.=1 $27.25 for the Gun I~`1ind. over $200; there ls only about $20.00 of this sum now to he collected and the most of that wlll be pilld before
the end of the yenr.
There are tihout. 470 Road Districts
In the Province. If every dliit-rlct hail done as well no we have done what would have been the re- sult? 200 times 470 represents $94,- 000. There are some dlntr-lets that could do more, and' some not so much. but say all dLd a thlrd as well its our iilotrlct It would have amounted to nt leant $60,000.
