The other more practical items, such as shaving cream, tooth paste, razor blades and handkerchiefs will all be put to good use in due course. It may amaze you to know that a tube of tooth paste that sells in Canada for thirty-five cents costs about 5 rupees out here, approxi­ mately a dollar and a half in Cana­ dian currency! Admittedly, you can buy Indian maue products for prices that compare with prices at home, but the quality decreases same those .may mean can fully realize.

Clubs for ■Canadians on leave have been set up in various cities here in India; at Bombay, Delhi, ' Calcutta, and Colombo in Ceylon. They are under the management of supervisors ap­ pointed either by the -Canadian Legion* or the Salvation Army, and besides providing accommodations for Canucks on leave they dispense cigarettes, sports equipment such as baseballs and bats, tennis, bad­ minton and football gear to Cana­ dians in the areas around each city. There is not a great number of Canadians here in India, and for the most part they are simply attach­ ments of the R.A.F.—men who have become practically lost so far as Canadian Welfare is concerned. That is, until this new plan started to operate. The Club I have in mind as I write this is called “Canada House” and no doubt they all bear that name. A few weeks ago it was quite a nice private hotel, and now it is a much nicer “home from home”. The meals, of course, are superb—they are the chief consid­ eration of anyone catering to men who have been out in the wilds liv­ ing on Service rations ’ for months on end, with no restaurants within hundreds of -miles where you can supplement rations with a nice juicy steak—or is that a thing of the past with you now, too The rooms are all nicely furnished too, beds, adjoining baths and latter two items .being in this country, where degrees in the shade is cool.

But the main attraction of the club lies in the fact that there you will always find some of your own countrymen, and in .most cases someone you know personally. That means a lot to us? because normally we are spread around so much that we seldom see a fellow countryman. For example, I am the only Canadian on the ground crew of .this unit, and the only other Canadian I ever see is in aircrew. Of course, he is a ser­ geant, and we eat in different .mess­ es, so seldom see each other. But the last time I visited the Club I met over a dozen fellows I had known before, either in Canada, or on various units I’ve served with. We can get together and exchange gossip of home, and talking of home is always a pleasant way to pass the time. Working with the Club is ah R.C.A.F. Headquarters Detachment, which provides us with all the lat­ est official news, and the services of Medical, Dental, and Legal Of­ ficers. The most heartening news they’ve given us to date is that our tour “of overseas duty has been set at three years, which means many of us can start counting the months left before we will be home again— if things go well. I, incidentally, have five months left to do, and I’m hoping it passes as fast as time has during the past two and a half years. Well, I’m afraid that is about all I can tell you at the moment.
