This appeal is for those men who have given up the com- forts and enjoyment of home life to don the King’s uniform. They are far from the home fireside, and such comforts as can lbe given them in their grim task are supplied by the organiza- tions which are now appealing to Canadians for support of the lCanadian War Services Fund. We must not fail the brave sons ‘of Canada who are on the fighting front for us. The drive which opened this week with an address by that good-will ambassador Wendell Wilkie, is a combined appeal for six war service organizations, each of which would otherwise {conduct a separate campaign as was done last year. These groups â€"â€" the Salvation Army, Y.M.C.A., Canadian Legion, Knights of Columbus, Y.W.C.A. and the I.O.D.E. â€" have each been allotted to certain camps or areas so that there is no dupli- cation of effort to provide the hot tea and buns, games, recreaâ€" tion centres, writing material, educational classes, concerts, etc. for our boys on active service or in training; A The funeral took place from her Late residence on Wednesday, Manoh 26th, Rev. M. E. Burch of St. An- drew’s Pmsby'terian Church of which she was a member, officiated. In- terment was made in Aurora ceme- tery. Sympathy is extended- to the bereaved flamily. Mrs. Burns, like her deceased hus- band, was a highly respected: citi- zen. .and having spent the greater part of her life here, had- many warm friends. M‘r.£urns predeceased her 3 years ago. PUPILS TO PLANT TREES The Reforestation Committee of York County, with the coâ€"qperation of the school inspectors and Agri- cultural Representative, hia've ar- ranged) to distribute a number of trees from the Forestry Station at Midhurst to the pupils of the rural schools of York County north of and including Vaughan and Markham Townships. ‘SimcoIe, Mrs. Ramsay of Hamilton and a Ibrother., Thomas J. Ross of Saskatchewan. Help the committee put over this drive to provide homes away from home for our boys in khaki. We can’t let them down. The fund is under Governmental scrutiny and of the $5,â€" 500,000 required, our share in North York is $18,000. This is not a savings account â€" it is honest-to-goodness war charity with no interest except the interest in seeing our boys well cared for. Reeve Thomas H. Trench has been appointed chairman for Richmond Hill and councillor R. D. Little, vice-president of the Lions Club has been named as Secretary. They appeal for vol- unteers to enlist on this committee to help the men who have enlisted to defend Canada. A general meeting of all interested in helping along this very worthy cause in this community will be held in the Council Chambers next Wednesday evening, April 2nd at 8 p.m. At the last minute before the opening of the campaign, it was decided that York County should be divided into two dis- tricts and Harry E. Lambert of Newmarket was persuaded to take the chairmanship for that part of York County north of Steeles Corners, taking in from Markham and Vaughan north. Mr. Lambert is at present organizing the var10us municipalities for the canvass and has received an encouraging response. W. M. Cockburn, Agricultural Representative, and W. L. Bosworth, Newmarket, have been enlisted as Vice-chairmen for North York. To achieve victory we must prove worthy of victory. Giv- ing of our money for necessary war work is a very easy assign- ment in this terrible conflict. We are confident that Richmond Hill, and every community in York County will make a ready, a cheerful and a generous response to this appeal on behalf of thosc who minister to the needs of our fighting men. As this is the only appeal that will be made by these war service bodies this year, the public is asked to give at least as much as their total contributions to the various appeals last year. With the prespect of our boys becoming engaged in more active combat and the forces being enlarged, the need is even greater. r)ur boys are offering their lives, surely we can show our appreciation. by giving liberally. If there is no collector contacts you, go to your banker or to the general chairman, or to the editorial office of this paper. Various plans of payment are arranged by mail or through the banks for donations in cash or by monthly payments. “What ?, not another canvas for funds,” you say. Yes, and if inclined to feel overburdened just think for a moment of the people'i‘h Britain who have nightly bombings, or the people of Hitler-ridden Europe who have lost every last bit of everything which makes life worth living. It may not be such a pleasant task to keep giving, or to again take the beat up and down the street or concession asking for cash subscriptions, but it is-a whole lot easier than the job many are called upon to do in this war for our freedom. It compares very favorably with the job of a fireman in bomb-torn London. It is easy compared with the task of the soldier, the sailor or the airman who daily risks his life in this life struggle against Hitlerism.
