C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 135 1915 No. 30 MachineGun Fund Over $300 Mark Creston Valley's machine gun fund is now' over the $300 mark. This amount has been raised largely by voluntary contributions, no systematic canvass having as yet- been inaugurated, except at Sirdar. Just to show what can be done by a personal hustle for funds is shown at Sirdar, where Mrs. Dennes and Mrs. Loasby made a thorough visitation of that section and succeeded in collecting S88.50 cash money. Notwithstanding any and all statements to the contrary, the Valley i&> out to provide a machine gun. Almost one-third of the amount required is already pledged and it is hoped that those who wish to contribute to this worthy object will not wait to be asked, but will put their- names down on the lists, which are in the hands of Monrad Wigen (Duck Creek) W. V". Jackson, the C.P.R. depot, King George and Creston Hotels, and R.S.Bevan. The governments of Great Brit- and Canada have heartily endorsed this movement, and recommend the fund as one" of the best mean? of patriotic effort available at present. No more effective method of saving the lives of our brave soldiers at the front, and increasing their efficiency has yet been suggested. In proportion to its population the Valley has made almost a record showing in - the matter of recruit, for overseas service.
