Deer Mrs. Pentice.,— Well I 'have finally gotten. in a position where I can write letters, and believe 'tile, lately I have been doing pretty well, I am still in Hospital and will be for sohnetiine yet, I guess, but should be able to get out of bed soon. • As yet Mrs. Prentice I have re- ceived no parcels of any kind from. you or home, •but "still have hopes. I have done a lot of moving about and I understand all mail goes to Italy before coming over here. The last mailinItalyI had was around Christmas , I have never heard from any of the boys from home yet. I saw Joe Wild on the street in Aldershot, Eng- land, when I was leaving but did not get a chance to speak to him. Since then I have been continually moving until I took sick. I came to have my tonsils taken out but before any- thing could be done I had taken Diptiteria. I felt pretty sick for a while but feel a lot better now. It is Spring here in North .Africa the weather much like the month of June in Canada, only the nights get very cool. In about another monththe heat will ibe quite intense, that's When I am going to enjoy a swim in the Mediterranean Sea. I was in swimming in the early part of Janu- ary and it was lovely. The last mail I had front home was mailed in November so I don't know how you are enjoying the Winter.'. I had a taste of winter in Italy but most of it was rain and mud and I mean mud. I think this is where I picked up sickness. When I get out of here Malaria will he starting again so will hofaveall, be careful, as it is the worst to Well am running short of words so will close for this time hoping every. one over there is keeping fine. . I did not giye..yqu my hospital address as by the time I would get an answer back I will be back in the unit I hope, Best regards to all, Yours truly Gordon E, Heard V IN THE LETTER BOX Jan. 22, 1944. H103353 F/Sgt. Jervis L H. R. C. A. F. Overseas. The town of Bradsworthy that F/Sgt. Jervis speaks about in this letter, is where his relatives live, and he is finding many interesting happenings about his grandparents' childhood days. This letter to his family Mr. and Mrs. Les Jervis and Mary and Walter of Hofinesville tells' of-one'of his visits. Dear Fancily: Bradsworthy is a cute little Eng- lish town nestled in the hills of Devonshire. To get there you take a road from Holsworthy that winds aimlessly over hill acid dale with no apparent destination in mind. One notices as soon as one gets in the vacinity the earthen and hedge fences They are made by scraping up dirt and piling it up' and planting bushes on the top. Earth. goes up about seven feet and the hedge makes the fence about ten feet 'high. So en you travel in, the groove between the hedges. Its a paved road of tarvia But only about 15 ft. wide, One ,has to guess whets around the corner. On we wind over hill and dale until we pass •a cemetery and then all of a sudden youare in Brad worthy. It has a big square hi, the centre that's paved and in the centre of the square is the village pump. Its a geed pump -because all the village uses it. Its incased in a little cem- ent building and. has an oak tree growing beside it, One stands in the square and looks around. Most of tine houses are oid, very old, cement erover brick and not of the most 'mod - n, architecture. s But when you look at the roof, i the surprise, its thatched. There I tie/ my .first thatched roof homes, be eaves came nearly tothe ground ttd from the eaves up was neatly rranged Straw, ;all the straws run- tg icp and down and bound every ix inches with a small rope of cross traw. Its about eight inches ;thick nd'"neatly trimmed at the eaves. On one tide of the square is the hurch a rather' nice cement block hureh, with a belfry and six bells' nd next to 15 stands the Kings Arend(' the village local where Most of the older boys and men 'meet and play darts and 'argue over a pint of ;,tout or Geinness. On the other side of the square is another village inn called the tem- perance inn and two or three shops and last but not least comes the vil- lage .smithy. Under the spreading Chestnut tree, The 'village smithy stands, ',the Smith a mighty, man is he, With large and sinuey hands, If you should have to call en him, And, he, to his shop you do not find, You will find Min supping tea, In his house behind. Because the town, is all the same, Easy' going, And their Mott( Never do a job today— That you can do tomorrow. Three meals a day is all, for us, But five is •few, to them, Unless you •eat six meals a day, You're surely sick or getting._ thin. In the hustle here and hurry there Of this world of strife, I think that six meals a day, Would make a happy life. I entered the Blacksmith shop and was talking to the Blacksmith when in conies two Italian Prisoners that work on a local farm. They had been there for over a year and could speak fair English. One was named' Franketti but they all called him: Prank. He gets letters from home every week. He lives near Rome. I gave him an American Cigarette which he said was very good. He gets English cigarettes and he enjoy- ed good old. Wrigley's gum too. Well I leave the Blacksmith doing dentistry on a set of harrows and walk down one of the little cobble stone streets and meet some other people that would have me sample Devonshire Cream. .Its a real. treat fellow Canadians. You take a sauce pan of cream and allow to simmer up to the boiling point and then set it aside and let it cool withoue stirring and a 'thick scum comes on top. carefully take this off and you have Devonshire Cream, 7 stayed that evening with the Blacksmith and having arrived in the village at four in the afternoon and having already had two meals, tea and supper, the Blacksmith and I went down to the local where we played darts and talked of Canada overa glass of bitters, The Subject got around eventually to Devon Cider. I found out that Devon Cider is not the cider in bottles, is not the draft cider, its not the sweet cider nor the sour cider but a special eider the farmers make that when you drink it you hold your glass in the right hand and hold your hair down with the left. We .went back across the square that was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face be- cause of the•blackout regulations and feeling around for the door latch we we went inside to eat our, Before—. You -Go -To -Bed, meal. I slept in a cute little room under the eaves with a Big Ben Massy Harris Alarm Clock hammering in my ears. • Next morningI got up about nine thirty and had breakfast after which I had a Mid-lttorning meal and •then I had time to tike a short walk before dinner. It was Monday and the monthly market day. AI the farmers came In with* cattle and;.sheop and in the big field they weressuctiotied off to buy- ers. Ca'tle were?allre breed, Devon- shire b evon-shire•' bread,. Mostly a beef type but used for cline? too. They bad red curly hair with 'white faces and some brought 60 to 80 "pounds which is $265 to $354. and they were not registered stock. All day cattle were running through the village square. In the afternoon a ten room old house and three acres of land were auctioned off for 750 pounds or $3332.50 so prices. are pretty high here. Next morning before dawn I left this quaint village to get back to. the 'worry and hurry of modern tunes, v YOUTH TRAINING, Dear Editor: We find in the public press, almost daily, some phase of child training, or youth delenquincy, and a great. concern is being shown by the auth- orities, both in' the moral and the criminal courts, to know what is best to be attempted to effect a cure: What has gone wrong with'. our youth? The last few years of educational training we have heard much about the principle of self expressions, and much has been claimed Inc' it, We sincerely fear that. "self expression" has resulted in moral decay, as it allows the natural :and evil trend in the child's heart to express itself, and not trained as in former times. We should learn from our fore- "Soon after I peck my way out of the shell, I must have food— but not just any food! I am a baby—the little bit I eat will make or break me—and if must be just right! Only fresh, per- fectly balanced food --made expressly for me—rich in 'vitamins, minerals and high quality proteins can make me live and grow the way I should. "That's why I raise my voice and peep for SHUR-GAIN 18% CHICK STARTER. It's the best! ! "I need fresh food! And you know that SHUR-GAIN CHICK STARTER is made by the SHUR-GAIN Feed Service Mild right near our farm — made as needed.

Well, thousands of baby chicks have already double-checked SHUR-GAIN CHICK STARTER for me, at SHUR-GAIN Experimental Farm, before I ever take a bite. The proof of the pudding is in the eating!

But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes" Pro 13th, 24 We are well aware of the strict commands given by our divine Father to the Hebrew parents -speaking of the Law and the Prophets= "Thou ach shalt tethen diligently to thy children, as thou lies: down and as thou riseth up". Etc. and, no other person was given this important responsibility. Now, aparently this training is neglected by parents, and unless the Churches conte in, there is nothing definitely done, and the natural trend is always downward. Mayor Conboy, of Toronto, and other ruling authorities have been ;talcig a most worthy example in throwing the responsibilitiy on the Churches and other reform units. The home .is surely the logical place .to look to first for its respon- sibility, then the Church should come next with its support, and Iastly the day -school should provide reerea tional privileges. In the training of the children we are given the delightful illustration of Mrs, Samuel Wesley. In her large family, she railed 10 to adult age, and for 20 ,yrs. she trained them M her own home 6 hrs. a day, assisted by her husband; and: we may see the results in her two illustrious sons, John and Charles Wesley. She made it her never -failing principle, that the will of the children must be brok- en, and that as • early as possible. Without this nothing worthwhile could be taught. I thing we may well take a leaf out of Mrs. Wesley's book to -day. In the early days of Galt Ont., a Dr. Tassie from the Old Land estab- lished a grammar school in that town for boys. He was very stria on disc- ipline, and never failed to use the "birch ' when necessary. Boys were sent to "hum from tiffany 'states in the union, and from all parts of Canada; andto be known as a" .Tassie boy, meant success for all the rest of hie years. Our; school system leaders, must surely see the fallacy of "self ex- pression" and see the need for some- thing ' more sane in the policy of t youth training. • With proper emphasis by the 'home, the Church, and the day school we trust that a marked change for itn provemont may be accomplished, 3.
