The .incomplete addressing of mail intended for soldiers at training cent­ res, in Canada, is the cause of numer­ ous delays in delivery Honourable William P. Mulock, K.C., Postmaster General, to obviate this situation, again requests the full co-operation of the public in writing out.in full the correct and complete address on all military mail. It is essential that the Post Office place-name should always be included in the addresses of mail posted to sol­ diers still in Canada because their mail is handled by the civil post offices and not by the Army Postal Service. The omission of the “name of the place where ‘the soldier is located” has re­ sulted in many such letters and par­ cels being forwarded to the Base Post Office, where it is found that the Un­ its named in the address are still in Canada. The resultant delay thus ■caused, and the extra work thrown up­ on the Canadian Postal 'Corps in locat­ ing the addressees of this mail would be entirely eliminated if the rules of correct addressing are observed. Mail for Delivery in Canada should be addressed with the usual complete particulars — ’ Regimental Number, Rank and Name, Name and details of Unit (i.e., Company or Section, Squad­ ron, Battery, Holding Unit, etc.) and Name of Regiment or branch of the .■service in full; and the NAME OF THE POST OFFICE where the sold­ ier’s unit is located. Mail for Delivery Overseas should bear the Regimental Number, Rank and Name of soldier, Name and De­ tails of Unit (i.e., Company or Sec­ tion, Squadron, Battery, Holding Unit, e.tc.) . Name of Regiment or branch of the service in full — and the words Canadian Army Overseas, but no place name should be given. All letters should be .fully prepaid, and a return address should be given, in the upper left-hand corner.

Boyle “STORMS” Grandfather always enjoyed storms. He would sit calmly on the veranda and watch the black clouds rolling up over the horizon, and as I look back on it now, it seems that he was hap­ piest on such an occasion. It seemed on our road that storms always blew up from the west. There would be those first puffs of wind that swirled dust up from the laneway and sent the curtains and blinds flapping in every room in the house-. Mother would go scurrying through the old house slam­ ming down windows and pulling out the window screens. Grandfather would remain in his rocker on the front verandah. The smoke from his pipe would be curling upward through the place where the shingles had rot­ ted on the verandah roof. By the time that mother had the windows down, the first few splattering drops of rain would be coming down. I used to like sitting beside grand­ father on those days. Generally, the storm followed a hot spell and as the DIED SUDDENLY Ndrman Sommerville, former chairman oi the central council, Canadian Red Cross, died sudden­ ly in his Toronto home following a iieart attack. Ice-cold "Coca-Cola” charms away thirst. Its delicious flavour delights the taste. Its life and sparkle leave you happily refreshed afterward. It’s pure refreshment. So when you pause throughout the day, make it the pause that refreshes with ice-cold "Coca-Cola” first rain came down you ‘could hear the ground drinking up the water with a sucking little noise. The air felt al­ most misty as the cool rain mingled with the hot earth and the air around us. Grandfather would take his pipe out of his mouth and lean forward so as to get a better view of the sky. Af­ ter due examination he would use his pipe stem for a pointer and say, “I figure she’ll break about there.” Sure enough, a black cloud would begin to form and come rolling up in the direc­ tion to which he had pointed. Mother would stand inside the screen door and scold us for staying out on the veran­ dah. Every so often she would peer out at the fields behind the barn to see if father had started the horses for the barn. When he finally did she would breathe a sigh of relief and say, “I can’t for the life of me, figure out why men want to take such chances with a storm.” ■ About the time father reached the stable doors there would be a sudden clap of thunder and the rain would sluice down. Invariably he would get the benefit of the first downpour. The storm would break all around us it seemed. Great thunder blasts would rattle the windows and the sharp cracking of the lightning seemed like a circus ring master’s whip .. the black clouds like sulky lions in a circus cage. The storm was on! Mother’s voice was sharp and not to be trifled with as she ordered finally, “Both you get in here.’* Grandfather would pick up his cushion and brush the rain drops from his hair and finally do as she asked. A storm disclosed a cow­ ard in Aunt Milly. She always arrang­ ed her chair to be as far away as pos­ sible from the chimney, the doors and the windows. There she would sit plucking at her hands and fussing all the time the storm was on. Sometimes she went to her room, and Grandfath­ er always maintained that she hid un­ der the bed. About the time that the din of the storm was at its pitch, grandfather would start telling stor­ ies about the bad storms he had known, It would make your skin creep to hear him tell yarns about times when he saw great balls of fire burst out of stoves and chimneys and chase people around a room. His masterpiece was about the time that a ball of lightning came down the cTiimnoy and as he delighted in saying, “It just zoomed around the room twice and landed in a corner . .. just some­ thing like the corner that Milly is sit­ ting in,” About that time Milly would gasp and squeal and grandfather would bide his time until an extreme­ ly loud roll of thunder came along to say, “Well sir, the lightning ball just seemed to explode and. it blew the cor­ ner out of the room.” As an after­ thought he would say, “They never found that fellow again . . . the one sitting in the corner.” Grandfather cer­ tainly enjoyed storms . . . but then, you-see, Aunt Milly was on the other side of the family and grandfather never did have much use for her. Mr. and iMrs. Ted, Mills and little' daughter, Joan Anne, of Toronto, were’ week-end visitors at the home of Mr.- and Mrs. Norman Thompson, Mrs.- Thompson and daughter, Grace, re-- turned to Toronto with them for al week’s visit. ■ j Mrs. Freeman and children, of Iro­ quois Falls, are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs, A.
