Dear Morn and Dad:
I finally got around to answering
your letter, I feel fine, my legs are
still sore, and pain a bit but then they
can't keep a good man down, It takes
more than an army truck to put a
Gorbutt away for more than a few
days. AnYwaY, I was lucky for once.
I got a new bike to-day from the
Americans. A beauty made‘especially
for the American Army, well biult and'
all steel, better than any of the new
ones we buy in the stores,
I was to work to-day and are my
legs ever tired to-night from standing
around on the hard cement. It is
quite close to-night and it was hot all
day: I hope you are all keeping fine,
I suppose your garden is nearly over.
We get fresh carrots, lettuce, peas,
beets,' radi"hes, onions,' string beans,
for our patients, also tomatoes. Near-
ly everything we use is fresh. We
have been getting some good cabgages
lately but not nearly as big as what
we have at home, Even the new po-
tatoes are not extra large. Is Cook's
still running. I suppose everything is
about the same, with Ab. Bell still in
the finishing room. Must close now.
Cheerio.

WRENS COMPLETE TWO
YEARS ACTIVE DUTY
the equivalent of more than 7,000
yearn" work for the Royal Canadian
Navy. In terms of man hours that
adds up to quite a considerable con-
tribution!
During the past year, since their
first birthday celebrations in August,
1943, they have sent large drafts oveir-
seas and have inaugurated their first
establishment at Londonderry, North-
ern Ireland. New professions have been
opened to Wren photograPhers, medi-
cal research workers and visual signal-
lers. In isolated areas small, groups
of Wrens have reported for duty .at
signal stations; Wren writers and
secretaries have been -assigned, duties
on board ships.
The W.R.C.N.S., organized for the
-purpose of releasing men for duty at
sea has successfully tackled more than
30 different kinds of work in the
Navy. Wrens are doing all kinds of
office jobs,* driving transports and
staff cars, cooking, serving meals,
keeping quarters ship-shape and com-
fortable, checking supplies, plotting
convoys, sending signals, nursing.
The motto adopted by English
Wrens early in the war, "Never at
Sea", means less now, for Canadian
Wrens have been members of trial
parties on board new Canadian fight-
ing ships, and some of them work
daily in a ship which travels near Hali-
fax. And of course, Wrens drafted to
Newfoundland or the United Kingdom
add sea time to their servile records.
When the first group of 67 appli-
cants arrived in Ottawa two years
ago to begin' training, supervised by
British Wren officers, no one dreamed
that Canadian Wrens would achieve
the position of importance they oc-
cupy today in the Naval service. In
Canadian ships, large and small, there's
a wholehearted admiration and an 'Off

My Dear Sister & Bro.:
All my thanks for your welcome let-
ter, card and loving birthday greetings.
It-was nice hearing from you again.
It was dated June 12, so should have
been in time for the day July 11th, but
was a little late arriving the 15th,
though what is a little delay these days.
We take no notice of that as long as
we do hear. Sorry the parcel you sent
for Ken hasn't shown up. It is too
bad after all your trouble, knitting the
socks and the other nice things en-
closed, though am glad to say Bessie
got hers.
I am sitting here writing this letter
in the cricket field at the bottom of
our road, Parliament Hill Fields.
Edgar is on holiday, he just gets a few
days at the time being so busy on Fire
Warden duty, so we couldn't make ar-
rangements to go away. Beryl (her
daughter) and baby are with me- and
we have brought ourc tea, so am hoping
for a little peace and quiet. There are
some terrible explosions in the dis-
tante though the "All Clear" has just
gone, Expect it will go again in an-
other five minutes and another beastly
Buzz Bomb will go over and fall with
a terrific roar. I expect you worry
about us, though personally we do not
Worry about ourselves, it is of the
other dear ones we think of these
times. Still on the whole we are
lucky, our hearts just miss a beat when
these things go- overhead and go all
tense, then see the beastly thing in
the distance and know by the sound
whether it is travelling in our direc-
tion. All we can do is to wait for it,
as it roars over the roof-tops and
