Glen Bricklin’ 511 12 musicians Glen’s Orchestra was so success ful on his two appearances here we are, by popular demand Dancing Every (nightly after June 24th) Iks it so much. No doubt, you all follow up the news and know where we are and what we are doing. Being honest about it all it was not just the nicest place to be nor the easiest thing to be do­ ing, but it has to be done. We came out from the front before the New Year though for a rest and it was really grand to be. able to relax. We had our Christmas dinner on the last day of December. Then on New Year’s Day we had pork chops and turkey, Our parcels were all brought up to the front to us and we had quite a time opening them. Then we packed them up before coming out and had the pleasure of opening them the second time when we .got settled again. Now that we are settled for a rest we are in a bit of a town (what's left of it) and we have a very comfortable place with two rooms. In it there is a fife place which we keep going almost day and night. We have had a very fine lot of lads in here. We pass most of our spare time by a sing­ song, maybe a letter writing period, or a fire-side chat. Right now some are playing cards and three of us are writing. We have for lights two small oil lanterns. Sometimes wc have a little Italian burner that burns olive oil. We get along won­ derfully well and our parcels we share with everyone. Those of us that have parcels leave them on the shelves and tell the rest that if at any time they would like a sties of gum or' perhaps a tea bag, to help themselves. It’s a fine example of a partnership room. We are not so far back from the front even now. We are along about the same line as our artillery and we can sit here and hear our away. Some of the make things rattle, ous day when there fire. My chum and I couple of bicycles to enjoy ourselves on. We go for a ride every now and again. We went into another little town and back again before dinner today. Tomorrow there is a show in town for we lads. Half of us go in the morning to see it and the other half in the afternoon. Believe it or not I have not had a Canadian bottle of beer Since I came either to England or over here. Though I don’t drink much, I don’t mind one or two once in a while. By the way I got a lovely parcel from the Centralia Red Cross the same time that I received yours. In fact I got five parcels that day. It makes on« feel good to be re­ membered by the folks, at home. You have heard quite a lot about the rain and mud here in Italy this past while. There was a lot but it is beginning to dry up We have had some very ther this past three or and nights. The nights bright with a .good moon sky. It gets so bright at can stand outside and see the snow covered mountains quite plainly. They look lovely too. Italy in itself is quite picturesque. It’s not a country I would want to live in, though. The most of the farming is fruit farming. Even now we are in one of the greatest fruit belts of Italy. It freezes a trifle here at nights. I have certainly had my share of fruit since I came here. Talk about dates, and not Saturday night dates either; no matter where we go there are dates. My friend is sitting here beside ; me playing my accordian. We do ; manage to have a bit of music. Take ’ it all around we have a fairly good : time at every opportunity we get. ; The last few days we were up ; front I did the cooking for the boys. : They told me afterwards they were : well satisfied. Since we came back i her© I have been doing the barber- ; ing, getting our platoon fixed ■ as far as hair-cuts go. They ; I am their handy man, ; We have next door to ; Italian woman or two who i laundry for us. They do a . ■ job too. The Italian people are quite ; the race. The women do all the work : and the men lie around. Anything : that has to be carried is done by : the women. The strangest part of ■ it is that when she carries anything ■ it is carried on her head, I heard : a couple of the boys tell us of an i incidence that happened yesterday • morning. They saw two women and ■ a man next to our kitchen. Appar- > ently he had pulled a couple of : boards out of the wreckage and : also a door. He put the boards up ■ oft one woman’s head and lifted the ■ big door up bn the other’s head. ■ Then he reached down and picked : Up a little bundle of clothes and DEATHS MOTZ—At the home of his daugh­ ter, Mrs. Cecil Skinner, Centralia, on Tuesday, May 29, 19 44, Josiah Motz in his 73 rd year.
