Otterlo is a small village with about 100 houses in the province of Gelder- land, In the neighbourhood of the village is the Netherlands National Park, "De Hogge Velvue" with, its beautiful building and museum, its al- most untouched nature and its game. During the last days of the war, the village was severely damaged and be- fore the Germans robbed everything they could (bicycles, horses, vehicles, etc.) At this moment the signs of the damage have almost completely disap- peared. The help we received from Canada and from other countries have been of great importance for us, because we could not make clothes, etc., oursel- ves. We had no materials and a part of the instruments of the factories was brought to Germany. Now the factor- ies start again so that I think that the difficulties will be over next year, One thing I must mention: at 15, 16 and 17 April, 1945, the Canadian Army beated the Germans in Otterlo. The Canad- ians delivered us from the Germans and therefore we will think at the Can- adians ever as our best friends. I do not think your men could imagine how glad we were as they came and the very unpleasant Germans disappeared forever. Yours sincerely, Dr. A. D. Voute, A, D.I Voute, De HoutKarnp, Otterlo, Netherlands, Milk Delivery Started Patrons of the Crystal Dairy at Har- riston are pleased to learn starting on Monday, there will be delivery every other day in Wroxeter, Gorrie and Fordwich.
