MY SUMMER RESORT
l'tn going to epend the summer
Right where I did last year.
The place lacked no convenience
Oonductive to good cheer.
I had there every comfort,
I did not lack for food,
The cooking was a marvel,
And everything was goad,
The buds were soft and downy.
I did not lie awake;
The coffee was delicious—
Like mother used to make.
Nobody tried to sting m9
On prices for my board;
Mosquitoes didn't bite me,
No Irate hoarders roared.
l motored out quite often
At very slight expense;
I was quite close to tennis,
And golfing was immense.
Yee, 1 will epend the summer
Right where I spent it last year—
I'm going to stay at home,
LETTER FROM THE FRONT
- Tho following letter was written by
Hugh Russell, somewhere in Trance,
to his friend, Graham Wray, Turn -
berry,.
Dear Graham:—
It seems a long time since I heard
from you I suppose you will be very
busy these days studying. I hope you
pass your examination alright. I
haven't received a letter front Cecil for
a long time, Surely I answered his
last letter, If I didn't I must have
forgotten all about it. Well l am still
going to it the same as ever, We have
been up against it pretty hard this last
three months. The Germane have
tried hard many times to get through
here, but it was no use, instead we
gained some ground from them. They
have been quiet since the French and
Britieh started to drive them back, I
guess they had enough to do there
without bothering ue. The allies are
certainly giving it to them now. If
they do as well for another couple of
months, I think the Germane will have
to give it up. We are in billets just
now enjoying a few days' rest. It's
not much of a rest though; for they
keep us drilling all the time, We had
a horse show the other day, just think
a real horse show within range of the
German gune. The show was for the
transports of this brigade, and was
held at our camp. There were about
two hundred horses and although the
men had only about three days' notice
and had to do their regular work.
They had everything in good shape, it
was a fine day for the show, and the
first horses entered the ring at 2
o'clock. They were heavy draught
teams. The winners were decided on
points, and the judge examined ;horses,
wagons and harness thoroughly,
taking every strap off to look under
the buckles. The twenty-first took
first prize for this event. There were
nine other events, so we had a long
afternoon of it and it would take too
long to describe each event in detail.
I will just give you the results, The
nineteenth took six first prizes and
two seconds. The first prizes were for
light draught team, light double team,
and light group, and heavy groug, one
mule and mule race, The seconds
were for heavy draught team and
driving contest. They also got the
Championship Cup, given by the Bri-
gadier for the winner of the most
prizes. There was one other event for
officers chargers in which tient Wigle
took first prize. We had two pipe
bands, and a brass band, also a bugle
bands so we were well supplied with
music. We had a Charlie Chaplin in
the ring that could make everyone
laugh. So altogether we had a very
pleasing afternoon. I am cgetting
used to these Belgian horrors now. I
'was plowing and• billing up potatoes
the other day. The farmers are all
busy here with the hay. I. went out
and pitched on a couple of loads one
dal- and 1 dont don't think I ever sweat
so much before. There will be a good
crop here this year. The grain is all
headed out and stands about four feet
high. I never saw such a crop before,
Well Graham, I guess I had better
quit you will be sick reading this al-
ready; So hoping to see you all some
day soon I will say good-bye just now,
From your old friend
Hugh
P. S. I am sending you a drawing,
that I did in the trenches one day.

Dear boys: --
It is with sincere regret
and also the deepest pleasure that
we met to -night to express our esteem for
the noble action of three of our boys
Your friends and neighbours, here gather-
ed, regret to lose you for the time being,
knowing the dangers which you will en-
counter, yet we are extremely proud of
this spirit with which you are inspired,
having resolved to "do your bit" to up-
hold the noblest traditions of the British
Empire.
We feel that you boys, having enlisted
in "Huron's Own Battalion", will with
the other nine hundred of the Flower ,of
Huron's young manhood, bring honor and
fame to not only our own County of Hur-
on, but also our Country and Empire
You are inspired by the most pure and
noble spirit which has ever fired the breast
of man, for greater love had no man than
this"that a man lay down his life for his
friends", having shown your willingness
to, if needs be to mingle your blood with
the Empire's beat, in the interests of
civilization and humanity.
We regret that we cannot in a more
tangible way express 'to you our keen
appreciation of your actio,. in taking your
lives in your hands and going forward to
protect our homes, our property and our
lives.
It will be our sincerest wish and our
most ardent prayer that you will return
to your homes in safety and then only
will we be able to show our pride and
admiration for you.
In the meantime we ask you to accept
these bibles, coins and mirrors as a token
of our esteem and love, and with it we
all wish you God speed and a safe return.
Signed on behalf of your friends and
neighbours,
Margaret Metcalf,
Stella Duffy,
Evelyn Crawford.
