GAR FROM ONSAWU ARRIVES IN GOOD CONDITION The following letter whs received by Rev, A* Sinclair from Rev, Rus- sell Reid, of prechin, Sa^k.,, Breohin’, Sask., Oct, 29,"-.3il Rev, A, Sinclair, Hensail, Ontario •Rear Mr. Sinclair; How shall. I thank you kindly enough, and graciously enough, when I think of what you have done for us. The good people of your community have done a wonderful act of Christian service* I only wish you could see how much a car load of fruit and vegetables moans to the folk out" here. You would be happier in knowing how much godd it lias done, but you have shown us in our time of extreme’ need what Christianity really does, and we are really very thankful to you, and every donor, Mr, Sinclair, although' my words don't seem to, express it right, I shall give you, first of all, a sketchy picture of the district into Which it has come. Masefield, a village to which the car was shipped knows much too well the sting of hard times. It is in a farming dis­ trict, and they depend almost en­ tirely upon their wheat harvests. In the fall of ’29 they harvested an av­ erage of only 6 bushel to the acre; in ’30 that average fell to 2 bushels to the acre, This fall of ’31, they are thankful in a sense for’ fodder, which is all they have gathered upz and that is almost entirely Russian thistle. You would know of none of the discouragements-, and. needs of some of these homes1—-almost all of them—until you have seen it yourself, The country around Mase­ field is largely non-Engli-sh speak­ ing and Catholic. In the distribu­ tion of the contents of the car no difference whatever were recogniz­ ed. Every home in the Mas-field and Oikney (English speaking) vil­ lages and district at least got some contribution of that car by way of a good-will offering, since we’re all dependent alike upon outside as­ sistance for just about everything, The average sized family in each case received among the things one bag -of apples, half bag of beans', half bag of cabbage, some carrots, onions, one pumpkin. A large do­ nation was given to the hospital. The Brechin Doctor (Dr.- Bates) was remembered since he had done a lot of service for the people in the community as yet gratis. I consider at least 9'5 per cent, of these people dependent to an extent of 95 per cent, to Government re­ lief or other helps iby way of food, clothing, and fuel. It is a wonder­ ful thing for a Minister, and his committee to be in a position to distribute such helpful goods- to- a •people like that. Just now the Government is so badly swamped With requests that it ha-s to spread its present contributions over a very wide area, and, consequently, just at present, these goods from the East are really doing a wonderfu] thing. Forgive me that I have waited this long to congratulate you upon, your ability to pack goods in such1 a way that they come to no harm. The car was really in excellent condition, and I saw nothing of it that had spoiled—all was good. And may i congratulate you just as highly upon the selection of the goods you sent to us. Every pound of it is of value; it is all finding a very useful place. We did not get things in readi­ ness -to unload the car until Satur­ day . morning. About 125 were present that day to see if we could do somthing for them. The first thing we did not refuse them was. a job for every man, and wagon. As the goods were removed from -the car, Mr. Bloom checked off at one door, and I at the other. When we knew what we had for distribution then we began handing it out. Each family was remembered, whether lie received his goods then, or sev­ eral days following, his share was packed away awaiting him. Wo Have a £gw snapS'liOts talcGn wliicii you will receive- later. I was ab­ sent for a while over the week-end, and the, work has piled up. I have ani extremely large pastorate. .That is one reason why I.feel condemned to be late in thanking you; by way of letter for your; splendid contri­ bution to this field.'' I can, -by way of closing, scarcely think of any greater joy that is the privilege of some of the Western pastors, than is the joy that has been mine—Of helping to distribute a carload of fruit and vegetables to needy folk. I am gratefully yours, Russell W. Reid PASHWOOP Pr, H H.
