A8412 Sgt. D. A. Marshall,
Kg. Coy, R,C,R,,
Cdn, Army Overseas CIVIF,
Itay, Feb. 4, 1944;
Dear Sister:
A few lines to say hello, and thanks
a heap for the parcel which was con-
sumed with enthusiasm. It's rather
hard to think of something to say. I
have made a note of Bill's address and
will drop him a line to invite him to,
a sip of vino when he may be passing.
He's in the Western Brigade so I've
been told by S. L, I. fellows attached
to our Brigade. We have a number
of Perth Regt. boys with us now, one,
Cpl. Miller of Stratford who knows
"Red Abram".
I was away from the Regt. for
awhile in Nov, and Dec. attached to
Div. H.Q., but came back the first of
the year to a different work. Am now
Pay Sgt, of the unit, Didn't like it
much at Div. and was glad to be back
among the few boys left that I know.
We are at present in the mud and
plashing through. Bill no doubt tells
you all about everything allowed,
Vi's dad is having a tough time with
a terrific pain to bear on what Vi
figures are his last remaining weeks
of life. Everyone else in London
seems to be O.K. Our Bill as you,
probably know is 'in England with the
Highland Light Infantry. I tried to
claim him but it was turned down.
Where is Mary? Is she coming
Overseas or staying in Canada,
Can't think of any more to say but
all the best and many thanks for the
parcel.
Dave.

Thirty-six Children Are Killed
I aation, The squadron is sect by 4,4
Squadron .Leader Robert Buckhain,
D.F.C, and the United States D.F,C,
We inspected the bombed areas of
London and marvelled that St. Paul's
Cathedral escaped total destruction
white all around it was laid waste.
Words, fail one in describing the de-
structiOn. Where once famous build-
ings stood nothing remained but the
basements, Most of the debris has
been cleared away and walls built
along the sidewalks to prevent people
from falling into the cellars, We were
inside St. Paul's and saw the damage
caused by bomb hits, but these are
not particularly serious and repairs
can be effected, But Londoners do
not stand surveying the damage; they
carry on with 'that determination that
ensures the future of the British Com-
monwealth of Nations. They have a
job to do in beating Hitler and they
are doing the job, come what may.
At Bethnal Green we witnessed
some of the worst bomb destruction
we had seen. The 'borough covers a
square mile and had a population of
100,000 persons. Half of them moved
away from the area and found work
elsewhere, Bethnal Green suffered
terribly. As many as 173 incidents
happened there in one night. Here a
terrible calamity happened in one of
the air raid shelters when a mother
and two children fell at the bottom of
a stair*ay and in the crush to seek
protection nearly 300 persons piled on
them, 173 dying from suffocation as
the bodies were crushed by the weight
from behind, Today Bethnal Green
has a most up-to-date air raid shelter
that will take care of 4,750 persons,
Providing them with a bed to sleep on.
8,000 can be packed into the shelters.
They take their own bedding, and
many of them leave it there for em-
ergency. Some 1;500 have been killed
in this area alone. The set-.up they
now have for handling raids is some-
thing to marvel at.
We spent a short time aboard Nel-
son's famous flagship the "Victory".
Comparing the power of the 104 guns
which Nelson's ship carried with mod-
ern day equipment, we were told that
the weight of ammunition thrown by
one broadside would barely equal
that of one shell thrown by a modern
15-inch gnn, German bombs have
left their mark on the "Victory" as
one went right through the ship leav-
ing a large gap about ten feet square.
The outward appearance, however, is
such that one would never suspect it
and the famous flagship still stands
there as an inspiration to the men of
the sea.
(By C. J. Albon,
I paid a visit to Catford, where 3O
school children lost their lives in one
of the worst tragedies to strike Eng-,
land during the war. At play during
recess the children were struck down
by the Hun airmen who blew half of
their school building away and mach-
ine dunned the children at play, "I
was sitting here in my window, said
an aged lady to the writer that day
when the planes came, over. I saw
them break into three groups and one
group turned towards the school, I
heard the awful explosion of the
bomb. Thirty-six' children were kil-
led and their grave is just a few
streets down from here where they
were all buried together.
We had heard there were military
objectives in the locality of the school
and we went there to see for ourselves.
As far as our eyes could see there was
no industry of any kind-just a district
of homes. Only bloodthirsty criminals
could have been responsible for the
attack.
Workmen are busy reclaiming the
portion of the school that was not
blown down but the memory of that
awful day will never fade from the
mind's of the residents of that district.
Interesting Sidelights
On our arrival in England we just
missed an air raid. A few of the
enemy planes managed to get through
the barrage but little damage was re-
ported. We are told that the barrage
put up by the defences is really some-
thing to hear. A few of the boys who
were not with the party heard the
barrage for the first time, when some
of the enemy planes got through, We
had spent the night at Southampton,
preparatory to visiting the navy, and
missed the show.
We had the pleasure of meeting the
famous "Wolf" squadron. We looked
over their Spitfires, by which the boys
swear, and their administration offices.
This squadron had just received its
crest which had been signed by the
King and they were very proud of it.
This squadron has a very excellent
record and stands second in the num-
ber of planes shot down last year.
They were a fine bunch of boys and
really anxious to get the Hun into the
air. Their chief complaint seemed to
be that the Hun wouldn't come off the
ground. We saw something of their
canon and machine guns and the
servicing these planes need to keep
them in the air. As we entered the
Air Force Mess for lunch we ran into
Squadron Leader George Hill, D.F.C.,
and two bars, who recently returned
from. Canada and will soon be com-
manding a new squadron.

New Hydro Rural Rates
Reduce Your Bills
Note -the saving you will obtain under the new rate of 4c'
1 6/10e, and Vic in the following examples showing
comparative quarterly bills for several commonly used
quantities of energy:
Was 4c, 2c, 3/4c Where Old Rate
STANDARD FARM SERVICE HAMLET 2-WIRE SERVICE
3 Months' YOUR BILL AT Kilowatt Old New Hours Rate Rate
3 Months' YOUR RILL AT Kilowatt Old New Hours Rate Rate
$5.52

150 $ 8.60 $ 6.56
300 11.52 8.86
600 17.35 13.53.
100 $ 6.93
200 8.87
300 10.82
These examples illustrate the savings you will secure in your Hydro
bill in Rural districts where the old rate was as shown above. The
amounts shown are for quarterly net bills, including Dominion Govern-
ment War Tax. The reduction in your bill in a' istrict having a higher
old rate (such as 6c, 2c, Yic or 5c, 2c, 3Ac) will be proportionately greater
than the examples shown above.
Please note that the service charge for farms is discontinued, but
the minimum bill for such consumer is $6.56 per quarter, for which amount
up to 168 kw.-hrs. can be used. In a district having a former rate of 4c
and 2c, this same amount would have cost the consumer $8.29.
Hamlet consumers have the service' charge cut in half, but the
minimum bill is $4.87 per quarter, for which they can use an amount of
83 kw.-hrs. In a district having a former rate of 4c and 2c, this amount
would have cost the consumer $6.46.
These explanations are giv6ir to help you understand the new rate.
In our next advertisement, we will discuss for your benefit, the UNI-
FORM RATE. In the meantime, if you need further information, please
ask your Rural District' Superintendent.
