His letter gives an interesting viewpoint on how the English people regard the present situation. Dear A61ce and Dad— 1 was very pleased to hear from you but i have been a terrible long time in answering so you may just blame it on to the fact and cones- quences of War. Things at present do not look very rosy/ although I firmly believe we are going to win. That is oi course if the spirit of the people keep up at its present condition. The• people around about do not show any outside ap- pearance of War Feelings, They all seem to take things' as a simple matter of course. It he that spirit which will overcome all difficulty, If this sort of thing maintains then we have nothing to fear. Now concerning myself, es you know I am a pensioner from the Navy and am eligible for service up to the age of 55, 'which gives me another two years, of eligibility my age being 53 but up to the time of writing I have not been -called up for service, ' This, is perhaps on adcount of my being in• a Govern- ment job, I am employed as a fitter on the Maintainance Staff of a big airport (Somewhere in Eng- land) and say what a Big Airport it is, 0 ani proud to think that I am serving even if only at this Job. It is a good place to work at and very good pay. Now as regards young Bic I have not heard from him for .a consider- able time but he is in the Royal Air Soroe serving 55 a P.T.I. Physical Training Instructor, Ev; dentty he is doing alright or J should have here(' about it if othsr- wise. How is everything in Canada, I am glad to know that the spirit is maintained in Canada as shown by the fact of what I have read. Tell Dad I often think about you and hint and how I often wish I' could come ou•t to see him and you but as luck as it is I may never. see you all again but I am trusting and hoping my luck may change some clay as you see by my address I am stil lin Huntingdonshire not far from St. Neots a place called Ramsey, Tell Dad Albert Creamer is police constable here and his brother Frank is a police constoble at Warboye the next town I went to see Charlie Creamer at Ports- mouth last August and he certainly looks line, Charly looks just like Dad. In the near future I wit: send you a photo of rim, I don't know what more to write about just now so with my very love and good; wishes I remain, Your loving brother and son, Bill. The Sims family wish to be re- membered to you, I go to visit them sometimes when I can gel away from here. BELGRAVE A pretty weding took place at the manse in Belgrave on Tuesday morning.
