LIEUTENANT. GOVERNOR | BARNARD .
HAS SPECIAL PRAISE FOR PART

‘OF DISTRICT

IN RAISING MONEY|

The following letter has been
received by 8, H. Hoskins, chair-
man .of . the Hazelton District
braneh of the Patriotic Fund,

7 personally. signed by Lieutenant-
‘Governor Barnard:
“Dear Sir:—

“Upsn reviewing the records
of contributions received through
the provincial branch of the Can-
adian Patriotic Fund, I have felt
that- special acknowledgment
should he made to a number of
places in this province.

“Hazelton is a point which has
done extremeley well. I find
that the contributions,to the end
of February amounted to the very
substantial sum of $9, 630.51, |
This, coming from a population
such as you have at Hazelton, is
of distinct credit to your com-
mittee and the contributors, I
feel quite sure that the time will
come when every man who has
contributed a dollar towards that

aplendid amount will feel that he|

has been well repaid,
“The Patriotie Fund has not
only made it possible for many
men to. enlist in order to serve
their country in this great war,
but it has been of vast ussistance |
to the ‘federal government who
require ail. the resources they
can possibly raise for the active
prosecution of the war.
“Money raised through ' ‘ehan-
nels of this kind,assists tremen-
dously in conserving the country’s
resources and conservation is the
erying need of the hour,”

As has heen frequently pointed
out, what the Canadian Patriotic
Fund is able to do for twelve
-million dollars per annum, would
cost the government double: that

will be necessary, if we are to

‘Metropolitan of Br ritish Columbia,

services.

ence would be that much money
wasted, oy ;

“In addition, the Patriotic
Fand is‘able.to, and does, render
great services to dependents,
many of whom are not capable of
looking after their own business
interests, The fund also acts in
an advisory capacity for the mil-
itia department, in eonnection-
with the payment of separation
allowances, pensions, etc. The

ering the entire Dominion, that
serious delays are eliminated and
information is readily obtained,
which, to government officials,
would be a most difficult and ex-
pensive operation,

“While thanking your ar commit:
tee and contributors in your town
for what they have done in the
past, I desire to take this oppor-
tunity of again appealing. for a
continuation of the same gener-
ous support,
“So long as we are at war, it
succeed, that every individual
shall do hisor her utmost to as-
sist. the .government and the
army-and navy in the tremendous
undertakings i in which . they, are
engaged for the liberty and free-
dom of the world. .
