May 28th, 1944, Maybe that date is right and maybe not, we never know anymore. It dosen't seem so long since Easter only then it was wet and muddy, now it is hot and dusty, were never happy, The hot weather has one advantage, yesterday we' went in swimming, slush- ed our clothes , around in the river and spread them on the bank to dry, had a smoke, by that time we had a clean change of clothes to put on. Your box of candy sent the first of April came last night, the maple candy sure was good. Just now my kitchen is quite mobile, consists of three pots, a brew can, frying pan, piece of a tank (sheet steel 15 inch wide, 3 feet long and 1/2 inch thick) that sits on 4 stories and serves as a stove. A couple of shell boxes for grub and you have my outfit. The day before yesterday we cooked three meals in three different places as the war moves along, the boys just throw my kitchen in, the truck and I .jump ahead 4 or 5 miles, we just park under a tree by the side of the road, hang out our shingle and call it home, We will be O.K. as long as we are on the move, Got enough spuds out of a garden for dinner yesterday pretty small 'but were sure good after canned and dryed ,ones all winter. We get rations every second day. My big job is to keep the meat from spoiling so most of the time we eat it all one day and starve the next, that way it don't spoil. There maybe' is not much news in 'this letter but it will let you know that I haven't lost the old pen yet. Love to all. Henry. EAST HURON W.

Department Representative Spoke Miss Eleanor Kidd, Departmental representative from Toronto, then gave a talk on our duties and responsibilities of belonging to an organization such as the Women's Institute. We should fight on in spite of heavy hearts; the war presents a golden opportunity to do good, in home, country and the nation—work together in a common cause—to be tolerant and unprejudiced. Follow the example of some of the great women of the Allies countries— Queen Elizabeth, Queen Wilhelmina, Madame • Chiang Kai Shek and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. No such women are found in the Axis countries. 'Be neighborly and kindly to newcomers— bring homes up to the highest level because a nation cannot rise above the level of its homes, Teach children to think because it is they who will have to build our New World: Home is the centre of a Woman's life not its boundary, She also explained the co-operative program and it was decided that the district would take "Citizenship in Rural Communities" as its project.
