Hensall Boys Apppeciate Parcels
Many thanks for your ever wel
come letter, Also for the lovely
parcel-—it sure was grand. Leona
wrote saying you had sent parcels
again, and I was just beginning
to think another parcel had gone
the wrong way when it came along.
It was the first parcel I have had
since I joined this regiment last
June so you can see how much I
appreciated it?, My mail hadn’t been
coming through very well this past
summer for some reason. The wea
ther has been very poor over here.
This last while we have had quite
a lot of rain and miserable days but
right now we are fortunate enough
to be in houses. So we are well off.
It will soon be Christmas again, I
thought we all might be hojne for
it this year but I guess it won’t he
now but I hope we are home by next
summer. It certainly seems a long
time since I left. I am really sor

guess they can be thankful they

We expected*a story that they werb

him. We sure were surprised when
he greeted us iii perfect English.
He was an American that was
stranded here for the duration.
This was his summer home. Since
then I had a spaghetti supper there
and learned much about the people
in the country, There are five in
the family. They are hoping to get
to America by Christmas, During
the past six days we have been able
to go to a show each day put on by
the war services. There is a concert
•party putting on two shows a day
for us. There are five C.W.A.C.’s
in it. Those Canadian girls sure
have courage as shells still fell
close on the first couple of days.
On top of that they went right up
in a jeep to see the war.
I am fine and getting along pretty

How folks do go for Bprden’s Ice Cream!
It’s so rich, so creamy smoo-ooth, so deliciously
flavored ... a dessert worthy of a special place in the
year’s most important menu—Christmas dinner!
Serve Borden’s brick or Mel-O-rol Ice Cream as a
glorious dessert in its own right. Or add its tempting

Dear Gladys;
Having received your most
come letter quite some time
and your parcel yesterday T
it is high time I was dropping
a line thanking you first for
letter and then a thousand thanks
for the parcel. I was pleased that
you folks still consider me as be
longing to your community. The
Hensall Women’s Institute do not
seem to overlook any one or any
thing and are certainly doing their
part well. That tasty home cooking,
delicious candy, along with ill the
other articles sure are a change
from army rations. It may not go far
when it is split up amongst the gang
but with some one of us receiving
a parcel at intervals we do get a
treat quite often. I again
you all for what you are doing :
the boys over here and hope soon
be able to thank you personally.

Dear Gladys:
Many thanks for the grand parcel
which I have again received from
you people. These parcels come so
regularly that we can count on
them. It is amazing how you get
the sugar for all the delicious can
dy. You sure seem to know the ar
ticles we need over in this country
where all we can "buy is fruit. The
weather has been very bad during
the last few days. The rains are
very bad. It has rained steadily for
two days. The mud is nearly as bad
as it was in the Sangro last fall.

Hello Homemakers!
resist the thought of Christinas!
Wartime, or not, we just can’t shut
Christmas out. The heart-warming
good will, the gay decorations, the
traditional food, these are the cher

preserve in a world of chaos. Let
us, in our kitchens, keep the light
of Christmas burning. Let us bake
a holiday cake, even if some of the
ingredients are difficult to find, or
substitutes must be used.
