These unseen and unknown friends, which I am making through the columns of weeklies across Canada, have given me a new sense of values and, indeed, a new sense of my responsibility as a columnist recording Canada and my association with its citi- zens. There have been those who ex- pressed the wish that I mighrde- scribe more of the beauty which abounds in this land and others who have commented on the pleas- ure they derive in reading about my inescapable dilemmas. I try to cram as much as possible into the seven hundred odd words at my disposal each week and divers- ify the entries at the same time, I am often quite „oktercome at the immensity of this land and the fact hat thousands of words would nev- er do it justice. Readers from coast to coast can be assured their letters are always more than welcome. They are in- deed a barometer of the diary's readership, which I greatly apprec- iate. ~EMI 111111110=1.1.0111•0111011111 mrs.

They hang in the! subconscious regions of their minds a barometer which registers either what they consider their success or failure in their chosen field. This instrument is affected almost daily by •the brickbats and bouquets they receive from their readers. In my early vagabonding days, as I made my weekly entries in this diary, I missed this device for measuring readership reaction to my efforts. Then letters began appearing in my post office box with a bold "Please forward" as an identifying symbol that inside would be wel- come suggestions or criticisms. First there was the letter from an editor who wrote that my early experience in a roomette had in- fluenced him to change his habit of reserving a different mode of train accommodation, in order to find out whether be had become muscle-bound or witless while chained to an editor's chair. He wrote that if I could cope with the routine of retiring in a room- ette, so could he on his planned trip to New York. Then out of the west came an- other "fan letter"! This one en- closed a missive from the letter writer's sister in Melbourne, Aust- ralia . . . The weekly home town paper, she said, is always forward- ed to this transplanted relative and her enclosed letter was secret- ly satisfying. I am only sorry that I cannot accept her invitation to visit Australia. Nast because I am afraid. I might get mixed 'up iwith a kangaroo and travel pouch- wise across the country down un- der, but Merely because I can get into enough trouble on my native soil without seeking green past- ures on the other side of the world. There was the letter from a citi- zen in a small town in New Bruns- wick inviting me to visit that com- munity and I must admit the promise of shore dinners and ocean sails has me hooked. Fundy. National Park is already marked as a must for next summer's travel schedule. From the International border, an editor wrote that he would be -happy to show me the beauty of the Peace Garden in the Three Lakes area of south western Mani- toba. This too, gave me a happy sense of anticipation for future travel plans. • As this diary is not often an instrument for editorial comment, my old habit of being too out- spoken on contrbversial matters has not come •in for letters of eith- er applauding approval or derision which I was wont to receive as an editor. I think I like much better this new type of welcome and ap- preciation that is becoming a reg- ular visitor in my mail box. What a sense of warmth and friendship a letter telling of an- other's. experience in midwifery gave me after a reader of a Brit- ish Columbia weekly wrote that she had enjoyed the entry about SS ..5, Willett Has linielide rood Prior To Holiday (By our Auburn Correspondent) Pupils of SS 5 Hullett.With their teacher Duncan Mackay presented their annual Christmas concert in the Auburn Orange Hall.

They were the sons of Mr. and Mrs. David Firby. The Firby family were planning to move soon into a new ranch style home built close by. Mrs. Firby escaped from the flames by jumping from a second story win- dow. Her fall was broken by Miss Grace Fox, 15-year-old neighbour, who was one of the first to reach the scene. Brussels Fire Department mem- bers found the bodies of the young boys in the wreckage of the house.
