OUR BOYS.
[To The Editor Stratford Post.] Sir,—Drafts for new battalions and reinforcements are' being continually called" away, and mot a sign'can a stranger see of the effort. Apparently we set about trying to fdrget them as sbou as possible. Of course it is only "apparently," but how are visitors, to know. All the Patriotic Committees treat both men and money as though they'were of equal value. They send away a 'cheque, arid a squad, then forget them and startcollectihg again. The .sooner we forget the money we give the better, but the boys are purs for ever. Could we not tyave a list of them posted Kip in a prominent place, Stratford to have a district list, and each township a local one? The shops and offices', at least, could have a card of their own to show what they have done. If I had my way every by-street, by-road, and hush track would proclaim our pride in "Our Bovs."-fI am, etc., W. PETTIGjKW. Toko, September 9, 1913.
