An analysis of our mail will vouch for that. Good old-fashioned neighbourliness and willingness to share with others are expressed in your letters. They are reminders of those days when neighbours everywhere exchanged a loaf of bread for a jar of preserves over the back fence. It is significant of this growing to- gether in these times that Mrs. M. looks up old recipes gathered during the last war and sends them for you and me. W do appreciate all sug- gestions and discussions pertaining to our problems. SPICED COTTAGE PUDDING Suggested by Mrs. C.
