Ross, Wroxeter. lie started me thinking about farm homes with his speech ten the way home from the meeting I was just put- ting together the things I've seen change in farm homes, just take the old Leslie place, When I was a little shaver padding along on my way to school I can remember the old log house they had. It was neat and trim With whitewash and red window boxes and ivy covering up the drab back- kitchen. Things picked up during the first war and the Leslies' made, a lot of money. Peter decided they should have a new house so he hitched up one day and drove into town to hire a con- tractor to build it for him. Peter wanted a big house and the contractor was getting paid for the job, according to time, labor and material so he built him a big one, They, put this house up on a knoll where.,there -were no trees and it was like a castle. It was square and white brick with a kitchen big enough for the Dianne family to live in.

When it's hot the flies are very plentiful and also mosquitos, which give us malaria and we have to take pills, rub stuff on our body and sleep under nets to prevent malaria. It is a life long disease so we have two enemies, "Jerry" and malaria, I could write more but I see that my candle is just burning out. I will get one in the morning, Well I will close for tioW. Yours truly, Lloyd * * * * Darrell Biggs, in the letter that fol. 1(,ws to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Biggs tells of a trip over Caen. , July 19th., Wednesday Dear Mom and Pa: It has .been very busy here lately, there hasn't been very much mail in at all for the last few days but I've been a pretty lucky boy lately and can't complain very much, then another box of chocolates came today for me and boy I'm just sampling them now, On Monday a couple of letters came by ordinary mail and in them was the overseas news and the letters from the lads on Normandy. I felt pretty good to hear how wonder- fully well the lads have done, even old Tapper is in there pitching. Well, right after reading them six of us were call- ed for a trip and there is no harm in telling you now and I was reading it in the paper today. We got up at twelve thirty that night for a meal and brief- ing when we were told to find the tar- get, and mark it for the main force coming in ,later on and it was just in front of our lads across the river, you know when the big break through was at Caen. Gosh we felt awful proud and happy to hear next day that the lads had got through. It was a grand sight as we went in just at dawn and as I looked down at the beach it look- ed so lovely and peaceful that one couldn't, imagine that lads were down there hugging the earth and praying that they might be spared, then from above silver wings darting about pro- tecting us, then as we turned back to see all the American planet coining , brought the war so dote. It does make one feel though that we're doing a bit to help bring this terrible busi- ness to an end and every hour sooner that it ends will be perfect. Well the next day we slept most of the time and were out again at night trying to do 'something about the buzz bombs, and it was• successful so things are going fine and at the rate we're going it won't 'be too long before I'll be ab- solutely finished They still haven't given the the pathfinder wing until doing so many trips as a pathfinder but it'll come eventually and IM send one on to you, it's pretty nice Our leave is on August 5th, for sure arid ies seven days so Joe and Harry and I plan on going up to Loch Lo- mond' Scotland for the leave., Last night three of us went far quite a long ride to the next village where they were having a dance at a little club there and by gosh it was really a grand little place and we 'eriloyed it A lot after being in the station for awhile its 'great to get off for an even- ing. Don't forget to give all my love to little Donald Duck, gosh he must look funny with his teeth out. Take real good care of yourselves, • Love, Darrell.

There was a big verandah on two Sicks of it big enough :to make a bridge over the TN'. er, It had fancy carved woodwork with gargoyles and what-nuts and doo- dads plastered all over it, There was turret in one corner that looked something like a silo „Ith windows tacked-onto a barn, Then there was the, inside, Be- tween Peter and the contractor they made it into sort of a nightmare. It couldn't • have been built in a more unhandy way, A woman would get tired just walking from the pantry to the kitchen table. There was a long hall running front the kitchen into a front ball where the only stairway was located. Then on each side they had two big living rooms. Oh yes there was a dining room but you had to walk in through this long hall to get to it, • Then they put up a back kitchen and woodshed behind that. It would have made a great place to hold an agric- eultural exhibition but as a farm home I'm very doubtful. People used to drive for miles just to see it and they would stand with their mouths open and .marvel at it, and many of them went home and built monstrosities like it. • . 1 think we should do ,something about rural housing alright but let's not rush in and built another round of unhandy houses to wear our women folks out, Farm homes should be handy and comfortable and not monu- ments to man's desire to have a bigger castle than his neighbour, among the .callers were her brother, Henry Diamond and Mrs..
