The atetuw1 cost of the Parcels
4ncluding boxes and Postage "was
$32.00 which leaves a balance or
$5,00 still remaining in the Poppy
Fund. The Legion would have
liked to have ,sent something to
each Brussels. man en Active Ser-
vice in Oanada, but we are sure
these boys would agree with us
that those overseas need all the
attention it is possible for .us to
give. Mast of the contents, of the
Parcels are considered "luxuries" in
England just now, and will bring n
little touch' of "home" to the boys,
who will be upending their first
•Ohrissna•s in the •"Firing line;' awn?
from their homes and families.
--x—
How strange it seems to be writ-
ing this, when we think of , those
"other days" 1914-1918, when we
were on the receiving end, not the
senders. It: is almost imipossible
to put into words the feelings of the
men 'wan the ,Christmas mail
arrived, Nothing can adequately
describe the dissappointment of
those, who were "forgotten'' or who
bad no one to send them parcels,
but the spirit of Christmas was
able to penetrate even to the
trenches.
Each man would open his parcel,
survey the contents to the last
article, read and enclosedletter or
card, and then share out all round
the cake, candies, fruit, etc. Yea,
in those dark days many a man in
his 'heart said, Thank God for
Christmas, thank God •there is a
Santa Claus.
With these memories still fresh 10
our minds we could not allow any
of the boys from 1Brussels to bo
among the "forgotten,' 'and the joy
of sending has been equal to tho
joy of receiving.

a commercial standpoint you might
be right, but in practically every

These schools under the School
Board represent a large capital in-

and an investment in equipment. To
maintain and operate this educe. -
donee machinery requires the ser-
vices of six members, of the $%hool
Board, a secretary, two inspectors,
and two- principals. There are four

To keep this sizable plant in

cost and salaries,
