During the four or five years that the commit tee has been sending parcels over here, I must say that they have learned just what to send, because the parcels contained just tlie things I needed and absolutely nothing that was not useful. I’ll send this letter, thanking sin cerely all of those people who help* ed make the sending of the parcel possible.

Employers yot/ can g*lve vital assistance by releasing a shift, or your entire staff, for a day or more; by impressing the urgency of their going to the farms for the period of release. Merchants You can organize io go in a body with your staffs on the weekly half-holiday, evenings and week-ends; or you could close your stores for an entire day once a, week to assist during this critical period. O0INQ TO wi This community is faced with the immediate task of organizing to SAVE FOOD materials urgently needed by our invading Armed Forces. There is not available at this moment one half the farm help required to save the abundant food crops ready for harvest on farms in this community. Yet these crops must be saved to feed our invading armed forces—to whom food is as vitally important as ammunition. They can't win if they don't eat. The man power needed to save this food can be provided ONLY in one way; and that way is by the citizens of this community organizing to provide help for its farmers; organizing the "spare hours" of its men in the cause of Saving Food for Victory. The organization has two parts: 1. Organizing a Farm Commando Brigade, with office and tele phone, where information can be given and the enlistments of loyal citizens received and through which men may be placed on farms requiring help most urgently. 2. Enlisting every available man in the community who will pledge his evenings, week-ends, holidays, half-days,—every spare hour —during this critical harvesting period. The Department of Agriculture of the Ontario Government will provide organizers and will co-operate and assist at every point in the formation and operation of the Farm Commandos. The need is Urgent! It Requires Immediate Action! Unless such help is provided thousands of bushels of vitally-needed grain will go to waste in the fields in this district. Clergymen You cah impress the need on congregations; call organization meetings of your men and boys; assist ser vice clubs and other bodies to organize enlistments. ★ Mechanics Also artisans, labour ers, clerks, salesmen, students. You can provide the greatest service because you constitute, the largest body of citizens. Assist in organization wherever you can, but par ticularly in pledging your spare hours to help on the farms. * Service Clubs You can add to your laurels of social service by enrolling members for this most constructive tdsk; by forming totnntittees to work iri co-operation Vnth commando headquarters on many phases of the work. parcel from didn’t need pulled out they issued ARTHUR WEBER LICENSED AUCTIONEER- For Huron and Middlesex FARM SALES A SPECIALTV PRICES REASONABLE SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Phone 57-13 Dashwood R.R.

'Search lights fingered the sky, and ack-ack shells burst over head. I thought T had seen some raids over London, or some of the larger cities in England but they were nothing equal to this, I think. There! seemed to ,be hundreds of search-! lights and thousands of ack-ack! shells 'bursting in the sky at one time. As well as the shells every so many shells are tracers. I don’t know if you know what a tracer is, but anyway it just looks like a ball of fire traveling up into the sky. Then just as they reach their peak, you see the small white flash of the explosion. The only great thrill got right then, the sight of the ack-ack fire, was really a thrill for a few min utes, We heard a plane coming very low, and coming toward our convoy which we thought he may have seen. We thought sure he was going to machine-gun us. Nearly all of us were so surprised that if he had been going to M.G. us, he would have got a lot more of us because we didn’t even think of making for cover. Apparently the plane had been crippled by the ack-ack because it just cleared the end of our con voy of trucks, and crashed in a field only a few hundred yards away. ’ Well, think I had better close for now as it is getting quite late, and I am on guard tonight, and I don’t think I will get much sleep before or after, because it looks like a pretty good night for Jerry to hide up in the clouds like he al ways does. So thanking you In closing I wish again to express my sincere thanks for the parcel. Murray Moore. Dear Sir and Members of Comm.: Many thanks for the parcel which was greatly appreciated.
