Closed Wednesday Afternoon SOLDIER of th SOIL THIS year the Canadian Farmer urgently needs help. He needs your help to produce the food so necessary for victory. Many thousands of farm, workers are serving in the Forces, so that the farmer —the Soldier of the Soil—is shorthanded, but shorthanded as he is, he is called upon to produce more food than ever before. Food is one of the most powerful weapons of war. Grains, bacon, dairy pro­ ducts, eggs, beef, fruit, vegetables—FOOD to feed our armies, our allies and our people we must have. The Reeve, Exeter, Ontario, Dear Sir: I am enclosing a picture which, the Cathedral of Exeter are selling in order to raise funds for the re­ storation of Exeter Cathedral. The Mayor of Exeter is always most kind to any Canadians who visit that famous old city, and I think it would be a very nice ges­ ture if a small donation towards the restoration of this fine old building were sent from the people of Exeter, Ontario, to the Trustees of Exeter Cathedral. I have visited this sister town of yours many times, as also I used to visit your town, and the many kind­ nesses which are shown to any Canadians who happen to come there need not be described, it is simply typical English hospitality. Trusting that you will not feel that I am being too forward, and that you will be able to find people who might be interested in helping along a very "worthy cause, Yours faithfully, Arthur H. H. Bieber D-32003 Sgt. A. H. H. Bieber, H.Q., 2 Canadian Division, Canadian Army, England. * The Secretary, Exeter and Dist. War Time Bd.: Today I received my first parcel from your fine organization. I find it difficult to suitably express my appreciation for to me that parcel package of. food, cause it shows me been forgotten by because it reminds me that those we left behind, many of them with no partieulai’ reason to aid us, are j with us to the end. At times when we read of the. various legislations t and news incidents we get a slight' feeling that our efforts are wast­ ed. One parcel provides the cure I for that. | Some of the fellows aboard ship aren’t fortunate parcel. When one its contents and wide and both physically Thereioi’e. when by.the recipient of one of your par­ cels the unspoken appreciation of a dozen mess-mates go with it. As someone in the mess gets a parcel in each mail you can see why we don’t lose our taste for the food luxuries we left behind. May I extend my best wishes to your organization for its future I hope we may always’jus- unbounded efforts, you once again. Yours sincerely, _ R. F. Passmore Ldg. Wtr. R. F. Passmore 40933, H.M.C.S.
