When I left them at the station, he would not accept a penny from me. Waiting for the train in that same station, I talked with three English Aircraftsmen in the R.A.F. They were. loud in their praise of the Canadians because of an inci­ dent that had just happened. They had ordered lunch at h refreshment counter. * Service was slow. An English Major came along after their orders were in and insisted , on being served first. The girl at the counter refused. A bit of an argu­ ment had arisen till it was settled by an R.C.A.F. officer of higher rank who took the part of the boys. He had ’given the Major a bit of a lecture, “After all,” he concluded, “we are all fighting for the same King?’ ' / . . lOne night, the London Standard had a cartoon. It showed an Eng­ lish girl, rather embarafcsed, intro­ ducing a young R.C.A.F. man to her parents, with the words, “I picked him up along the road.” The next day, I sat beside the editor of the Standard at a luncheon.

From the soldier’s I believe loneliness The boys don’t get from home. Perhaps, they get plen­ ty at first but the number falls oft. Some don’t get any. They want the news from home, but even more, they want to think that they haven’t been forgotten. They need letters even more than they need parcels— newsy, gossipy letters telling what people at home are doing. And they like the’hometown newspapers, Which pass from hand to hand. Councils or service clubs would be doing good acts if they would sub­ scribe for the local paper for all boys from theiy town who are over­ seas. Parcels ate appreciated of course. The troops are adequately fed, but <■ they get few luxuries. Remember that wheh you send parcels. Some things are luxurious in England that are plentiful here; Candies are most welcome. I • saw candies only twice in England1 ana they were really confections, not real candies. I would have given much for some real ones. Send potted fancy meats and cheese, marmalade and jams in tins (not glasses), braces and garters and razor blades. Illustrated magazines, such as Life, are heavy to send, but are most welcome. Send a few of them to your soldiers, or to Mr. A. Sav- aard Canadian Army Headquarters,, Cookspur Street, London. But remember, letters are best all.
