Whgt^ls So Good
* For Relieving Miseries of
Childrens Colds
More than two generations ago—in
grandmother’s day-—mothers first dis-
covered Vicks VapoRub. Today it is
the most widely used home-remedy for
relieving miseries of children’s colds.
And here is the reason ,,.
The moment ypu rub VapoRub on
the throat, chest and back at bedtime
jt starts to work two ways at once—
and keeps on working for hours—to
ease coughing spasms, help clear con
gestion in cold-clogged upper breath- _
ing passages, relieve muscplar soreness
pr tightness. It promotes restful sleep.
Often most of the misery of the cold
is gone by morningl That’s why
VapoRub is so good to use when colds
strike. Try it!

In a letter dated Nqv. 29, PO.
.Stewart Fuke gratefully acknow
ledges receipt of his Christmas
parcel; ‘T bad the pleasure last
week of receiving my first parcel
from the Exetei’ Committee and
wish to thank the .committee for
their kindness. Jt is a fine thing
you are doing in remembering us
in this way, I know how much I
appreciated your box—-full of well
chosen articles. It forms an excel
lent link with home and the people
we remember there.”
Dated Nov, 24, a letter from P.O
W. M, Howey extends thanks to
the Board for his parcel: “Please
communicate to those responsible
my sincere tlianks for the lovely
parcel which I received yesterday,
I thought the assortment was par
ticularly well chosen and many of
the items were a very strong re
minder of home, especially the can
ned peas. Last evening we had the
usual gang in our hut with a lovely
hot fire going, and I was sitting
here writing letters. However the
-urge finally got too strong, so we
finished off the peas in short order.
The rest of the parcel will no doubt
get a testing tonight. We are al
most through our course here and
will be flying the big ships within
a couple of weeks, although it will
be a long time yet before we will
be over Germany, Our crew is now
complete and they are all Ontario
boys. I haven't seen any of the
home town boys over here, but
hope to when I get to squadron.
Ray Pryde is a couple of months
ahead of me and Stew Fuke about
five months behind, so we are all
at different stages, worse luck!
Our training over here is quite long,
and we see a lot of country (and
water) from 10 to* 20 thousand
feet. I still have more letters to
write so must close but again many
thanks for the grand parcel. We
over here are all living in the hope
that we shall soon be back home
again.”
Bill Chambers, in his letter to
the Board, written on Nov. 18, says
he will be home soon after Christ
mas: “Once again I write to you
to thank the War Time Committee
for the very nice parcel which I
received on Nov. 11th sent on Oct.
11th, It was in good condition and
the selection of articles perfect as
always. I am very happy to say
I will be returning home in the
near future although I haven’t
much hope to make it for Christ
mas but if not it will be soon after.
So until I can thank you personally
please accept my many thanks for
all the parcels I received from you
and the happiness they have
brought me. I wish you all a' very
Merry Christmas and a Prosperous
New Year, and hope to see you all
soon.”
On Nov. 17, Allan Penhale wrote
the following: “Received my parcel
today, making the third in a year
which I think is ‘something to write
home about’, so to speak. Have be
come a bit of ah expert in the art
of can-opener manipulation and as
soon as I finish this, the can of Ayl
mer tomato soup is going to be
“Tirpitzed.” Thanking you and all
concerned for this bit of Canada
which we all appreciate so much
and look forward to.” Allan worked
for Canadian Canners in Forest
previous to his enlistment and adds
the following postscript to his let
ter: “Admire your choice of canned
goods (Aylmer).”

“Many thanks for the lovely par
cel which I received yesterday from
the Exeter District, All was in good
condition and the Christmas cake
‘just like home.’ Sorry I couldn’t
keep it for Christmas but those
parcels never last long. We do ap
preciate them very much and I’m
sure your parcels have brought
much pleasure to the boys as well.”
Edwin Learn writes under date
of Nov. 27: "Just a few lines to
let you know your very welcome
parcel arrived last night. As usual
it contained the things Which are
very necessary for comfort and
which are difficult to obtain over
here, Well, a lot of water has flow
ed under the bridge since I last
wrote to you. We have come froth
the beaches right up through Caen,
Kalaise, Rouen, Abbeville and how
Belgium, it has been very interest
ing and at times exciting, The
French and Belgians have certain
ly given us a great reception, Bel
gium is the cleanest and most,
modem of countries. We in Canada
can learn a great deal from her.
These people have certainly gone
through a .great deal during the
past four years. However it looks
as if we are on the last lap now,

Bdr. L. J, Wein, writing on Nov.
22, sends home interesting items
on life overseas: “My sincere
thanks to all for the lovely parcel
I received last week. Wo are having
terrible weather lately and it is*
hard to believe that such a vast
amount of rain could fall day after
day. This is going to be my fourth,
Christmas over here and I believe
it is going to be quite alright this
year as many things have improved
greatly in the past couple of years,
I haven’t as yet been to France or
Italy, but have had a continuous
stretch of boredom on the staff #of
a training unit. May this Christ
mas be a cheerful one to you all
and may the New Year bring us
our long awaited happiness. Thanks
again for the parcel.”
L. Cpl. John W. Jesney encloses
a word of praise for the 1st Hus
sars in his letter of Nov. 27: “Just
a few lines to thank you for the
lovely parcel which I received to
day safe and sound and everything
is very nice and in good condition.
I also want to thank all other mem
bers of the Committee for the good
work which you are all doing to
send comforts to us boys who are
so far away from our friends and
loved ones. We have had some ter
rible weather over here since we
arrived in Holland. We boys have
seen quite a large part of France,
then Belgium and now Holland and
I must say that the First Hussars
have made a good name for them
selves in this war and are a fine
lot of boys to be with. Most of us
boys that came over from Exeter
are still together except Sidney
Stire. If you happen to see him
will you please give him my best:
regards. We hope to be home as
soon as w'e have finished the job
once and for all. Thanking y-ou
once again for the lovely parcel and
a Merry Christmas to all.”
In a letter dated Nov. 28, Pte.
L. E. Guenther expresses his
thanks for the Christmas parcel
sent him by the Committee: “In
answer and thanks to the most love
ly box which I received today from
Exeter War Time Committee, I was
very pleased to receive such a nice
box as I’m sure all will be made
well use of, I want to express my
thanks greatly to one and all who
make it possible for the sending of
these well appreciated parcels to us.
Nearly every Exetei' paper I get
there always seems to be one or
two of the boys killed or wounded
and we all hope this is soon over.
The other day the ground was white
with snow but it has nearly all dis
appeared now. I suppose by now
you have had some snow around
the district. Two weeks ago I was
fortunate in getting nine days
leave which I spent in Scotland
and we Canucks are sure treated
swell up there by the Scotch people.
I have been keeping and getting .
along fine over here so far and
hope you are the same. This is quite
a short letter but I don’t know
much else to say ?k>niy hope this
war is soon over and we can re
turn home. Again thanks’ you a lot
for your kind work you are doing
for the boys.”
