Aliens in Acton rally for Canadian Protective Fund appeal
At a town hall gathering chaired by Traave Hynda, about 100 Austriana aliens, employed locally, heard a speech by Mr. Morris Haxo urging voluntary contributions to a Canadian Protective Fund. Subscriptions began with 95 cents and higher, then settled on 1.00 monthly for five months August to December, deducted from paycheques. The drive raises a substantial total as the group, allied with the Canadian Pacific Railway’s western harvest effort, seeks funds for transport and support of wartime duties.
