THE PATRIOTIC QUOTA
THE latest information relative to the district's Patriotic quota shows that something approaching £13,611 must be found this year—a sum similar to that raised last year. Roughly this is over £1 per head of the population but on the other hand we have no fear but that it will be met once more and that the great bulk of it will be forthcoming spontaneously and liberally. This country of ours we have been informed remains one of the. most prosperous in the world to-day despite the closeness of war and the attendant conditions created by it. Our economic structure remains sound, if not sounder than in pre-war days when the work of two or three was not being shouldered by one. Thus it becomes a duty to cheerfully shoulder the new responsibility of the 'Patriotic quota and to consider ourselves fortunate in still being able to meet it and at the same time to maintain our individual prosperity..
