OFFICERS 'TOLD ABOUT OVERSEAS Canadian Clothes On Bombed . Children The Salvation Army Officers of the Hamilton Division were privileged to attend Officers' Councils, in Hamil- ton, on Wednesday, April 22. Lt.Col- onel Ham was the conductor for the, day. Aniongst the guest speakers was Major Knapp, who has just recently returned from England, as one of The Salvation Army Auxiliary Supervis- ers. In an interesting manner he gave to us a insight into the life of the people over there, showing their very great courage, and marvellous sense of humour, He told us that there is a scarcity of fruit, it being almost impossible to get lemons and bananas, and only, on very rare occasions an orange, In one of the large store windows there is a great display of fruit, which has magnetic appeal. But as one ap- proaches the window, he finds only a cleverly arranged wax display, bear- ing a little placard in front of it, read- ing thus, "IN MEMORIAM". After a night of severe bombing, one grocer put up a sign where his wind- ow should have been. "Don't lean on this window it isn't here." During an emergency call after an- other severe bombing M,aior Knapp was out on duty, when he net Captain Robert Hoggard of the Salvation Army. Captain Hoggard is a brother to Lieutenant Miriam Hoggard form- erly in charge of Listowel Corps. It was then Sunday, and Captain Hog- gard had already been on duty since Thursday night, trying to bring com- fort to those who were suffering. Major Knapp was called to one of the slum, districts to coduct the Sun- day meetings, and was surrounded by a crowd of very well-dressed young- sters. Being quite surprised that they should be dressed so well living in the shims, and especially after an air-raid, he was told that every stitch of their clothing was the result of the efforts of the people of Canada. Major Knapp told the audience that The Salvation Army Tea-Cars are a very welcome sight in all the bombed areas. Each tea-car has served be- tween 30,000 and 40,000 cups of tea in a month, and it is interesting to know that only one pound of sugar is al- lowed to 160 cups of tea. These are just a few of the facts about War-torn England that. the Maj- or presented to his audience. May we be encouraged to increase our efforts on her behalf.
