Red Cross To Co-operate In Gigantic Output For •British Bomb Victims. Ontario Women's Institute members who last year in co-operation with the Red Cross Society were instrumental in forwarding 233,232 pounds .of jam to Great Britain for the use of civilian war victims and Canadian troops in hospitals, are being asked to make 300,000 pounds of jam this year, states Miss Mary A. Clarke, Superintendent, Women's Institute Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. As in previous year, the Canadian Red Cross will provide the cans, labels and cases, and provide transportation to final destination, Sufficient sugar has been assured the. enterprise and Institute members in non-fruit grow- ing areas will have an opportunity to supply funds for sugar. One hundred and fifty tons of jam will bring a lot of sweetness into the lives of British bomb victims, mostly children and old people, Hundreds of letters have been received from grate- ful recipients including many from matrons of children's homes who state the jam sent last year has been a welcome and health-giving addition to the children's diet, While the work in connection with. the actual jam making will be done, by W. I. members this does not mean that contributions of fruit, sugar or money will not be gratefully accepted by them from citizens in general. The jam making objective for Can- ada as a whole has been set at 600,000 pounds. " No April Fool Professor (to freshmaa, entering class late); On what date were yota. born, young man?

INTERESTING LETTER FROM SAILOR LAD Editors Note:—In March we pub- lished an article about Seaman Bob Kent of Brantford, a grandson of Mrs. Cantelon of town, Bob at that time was a member of the crew of the minesweeper Goderich, He is now Pro. Sub-Lieut R. W. Kent and is tak- ing an officers course at Esquinalt, 13. C. The following letter received by 'his uncle, Mr. Leon Cantelon of town we believe will be of much interest to our readers._ H.M.C.S. Royal Roads, Esquimalt, B.C., May 17, 1942 Dear Uncle Leon:-- This will just 'be a few lines to let you know that I'm enjoying life on this side of the continent a little more than I did on the other coast. I had a swell trip out and really absorbed the beautiful scenery ,espec- ially when we went through the Rocky Mountains. I've always wanted to travel across Canada and now my wish has been granted. Our living quarters are in a mag- nificient castle, built by the late Hon. James Dunsmuir, coal-mining magnate and former Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia. The 40-room man- sion fronts on a sheltered lagoon ideal for boatwork. The drawing room now serves as the gun room or recreation centre in which is a piano, bar, chest- erfields, chairs and books. Upstairs bedrooms have been converted into dormitories housing from two to 11 men each. In my room there are three of us—one is a B.A. whose father is an M.R in Ottawa and the other is a college graduate whose home is in the West Indies. When we look out our dormitory window we look across the lagoon into a broad expanse of water. In the distance 'snow-capped peaks of the mountains poke their noses through the clouds. Wisps of smoke on the horigon- tell of incoming and out-going Vessels. Surrounding the castle are thick woods beautiful garden (Italian and Japanese), orchards, sheltered road- ways and many picturesque settings. that you would only imagine seeing in fairy tale books. It truly is a wonderful place and the weather has been perfect so far, It hasn't been too hot or too cold but I imagine it will get warmer next month. Remember me to Evy, Grandma and Aunt Irene. I think about you all Monday, June 8th KING'S RTH DAY ALAND where the salt tang of the sea mingles with the scent of apple blossoms, where summer's heat is tempered by bracing sea breezes, where golf clubs are as popular as fishing rods, and where the spell of the romantic past still pervades the pic- turesque countryside—that is Nova Scotia, storied land of Evangeline, whose many fine summer resorts and hotels provide the ultimate in seaside vacations, the charms of this easternmost province can be enjoyed to perfect advantage at the picturesque seaside resort of Digby, where the famed Digby Pities offers such a wealth of health-promoting pastimes as golfing, tennis, riding, fishing and sea.bathing la a glass-enclosed swimming peel.
