ENTERTAINED BY GIFT FROM EXETER, CANADA The following letter has been ceived from Mayor R.

An account which appeared in the Exe­ ter Express and Echo also appears. Guildhall, Exeter. May 17, 1944. To the Council and the Citizens of Exeter, Ontario. Gentlemen, 1 thought you would be interest­ ed to see this brief account of one of the many parties made possible by the generous contribution you sent us some time ago through the Bank of Monreal. On account of the paper shortage our papers are only one third or less their peace­ time size and a function which would have claimed a column gets only a few lines. By means of your contribution and those from 'Canada generally, from Southern Rhodesia and the South Western African Protectorate we have been abie to arrange up to the moment thirteen parties of 250' children each, and I still have a little left which I shall use in the autumn. On each occasion we gave them tea, then let them enjoy com­ munity singing, and finished with either a Punch & Variety Concert, a Dancing Display. I that could you have the children you would have felt amply repaid. When I wrote you before did I send you a booklet “Exeter in the Blitz,” with a photo of the Queen on the cover? If not, and you will drop me a line, I will do so. With our kindest regards to you all and the hope of an early victory and a lasting peace for, the Allies, Yours sincerely, R.
