Jan, 27, 1944 D. Coy. C. B. H. C. A. (C. M. F.) Dear Mom and Dad. Hello . again! I hope this letter finds you as well as I am only I hope the day is a Iittle nicer. It is rain- ing quite hard here the first time for quite awhile. We have . had lovely weather up until today so I guess we can't complain too much. I have run out of ink so I hope you don'tr' mina the pencil. I ani too lazy to go outside and look for some more. I got a letter from GIadys the other day and I was glad to hear that le they have moved to another house. a t THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD men do all the work. Anything they have to carry is always put on their heads. ,I was more than surprised one day when I }vent to lift a basket of stuff one woman was carrying. Honestly, it kept ,me busy to lift it, so I don't know how she ever carried it on her head. I wentto wash my clothes one day by a well, and a woman came along. She took the clothes from hie and washed them on a stone. I don't think I ever saw towels -come out so white. It would have taken me hours to do halt as good and she was only a few minutes. I guess she wanted to get me out of the way so she' could wash her own. I paid her well ,for her work so everyone was happy; especially me iiecaose I hate washing, clothes at any time. I don't thing that everything I have seen here is the fault of war. Of course it has a lot to do, with it but I think it is more or less the custom of the people. For instance they use old fashioned wooden ploughs and oxen sotnething'I thought was for- gotten. Another funny thing I saw was a man sitting on the side .of the road with a hammer breaking stones to fix the holes in it. - Well Mum, I don't know whether you will find this letter very interest- ing but there is nothing to write . about except the count- ry • and: the weather, so tell Gladys that ,as soon as I can think of something, I will try and write to her. ,But please do not wait for me to write. I am not always in a place where I can and as I said be- fore, there isn't much to write about. Now for this time I think I will say so long and keep smiling. Your Loving son •• • Buss P. S.

Every Red Cross triumph over death, wounds, disease and human agony is that in which you may take pride. Because it is YOUR Red Cross. Thus it is you who help those in pain and peril. Now as the dreadful carnageof war increases --as more famine-strickened countries are made accessible to your Red Cross, the need grows at terrific pace: So much money is needed to maintain a steady flow of parcels for prisoners of war, of blood serum, medical supplies and dressings, sur- gical instruments, .hospitals and hos- pital equipment, food and clothing, to name but a few of the demands on your Red Cross.

Monteith & Monteith sent their report of the township audit, they found everything in good order and drew attention to what they considered a very low assessment on our buildings as com- pared with other municipalities which they had audited. , It will sure be a lot better than the other one. I still haven't got the parcel you sent me for Christmas but.1 am still waiting. I need the watch meat of all. I am lost without one, not that time matters so much, we have lots of that but we have to know when to ,change the guard and things like that. Right now I- could eat about four nice chocolate bars, we sure don't get many of them over here. From where I am to -day I can hear the big guns going so I guess the war must still'be going on. I wish it were allover, I ata getting fed up with it, but who isn't? What a happy day when they say "cease fire!" And it, will be a happier day when I set foot on Canadian soil. I'll bet they don't get me into another one. I suppose in Canada you have lots of snow and cold now. You would never know it was winter here in Italy except when you, look at the mountain tops. They are 'covered with snow. In the valley the' grass' and trees are .nice and green and when the sun shines it is quite warns. I never ever:, dreamed of .seeing Italy. The only thing I am disappoin- ted in is their cities and towns. They are always ;built on a hill or side of mountain and they are very dirty. Most of the buildings have big shell holes through them or blown down completely. The houses, are built, of some kind of sand stone that,, la .cut out of the ground in'. blocks.
