One of these was three hun- dred cigarettes the other an assort- ment of choice groceries, which were very enjoyable. Before enlisting in the R.C.A.F. I got much' pleasure helping the Com- enmity Fund raise money. It was al- so satisfying to know that much• of this stoney was spent on parcels for the many Bayfield' Boys as a remin- der that we often thought of them Now that I have received several parcels, it is possible for me to un- derstand how much they can be ap- preciated so I thank you very much. Yours truly, Bill Robinson. The above is, the first letter re- ceived by the corresponding secre- tary from Bill since he went'Overseas.

Japan, all of which are now grouped together as "The Church of Christ" in Japan. Miss Courtice, with two other Can- adian Missionary friends, was recent- by repatriated on the. Gripsholm and was for a year before her return in an internment camp. The camp had originally been a Roman Catholic School and two-thirds of the internees were Catholic women. Most of the women had been missionary teachers or professional women and so the time in camp was very profitably spent in teaching languages, music and many useful subjects to women speaking other languages.

The roots should not be exposed to the sun and wind. Unpack the t' trees in a building, or a shady location. The trees may be held for several days by : (a) Keeping the trees moist in the box. (b) Placing the trees in a pail or tub and covering the roots 3' completely with water. (c) Heeling the trees in the ground. Dig a trench and cover the roots well with packed soil. Transportation of Trees from school to homes. (a) In a pail or tub preferably with roots in water. (b) With roots wrapped in wet burlap. (c) Ina box or basket. (d) A small number may be carried with the roots wrapped in a=' old newspapers. A double sheet of newspaper is soaked in 1 water, and it is wrapped around the roots. Dry sheets of s newspaper should be wrapped around the wet sheets, Planting. • Plant as soon as possible. Trees can be held for several days with the roots in water, of heeled in the garden. Carry trees with roots in a pail of water. The trees may be planted in their permanent locations, or placed in a nursery row for several years. It is usually advisable to plant them in their permanent. locations, as the later transplanting entails extra labor and the trees are liable to die when transplanted. Cultivation is beneficial as it reduces the loss and increases the yearly growth. Planting in sod. Spot planting. Remove a 1r/2 to 2 foot square of sod. Make a hole in the centre of the square with one side straight. Place the tree against the straight side with the roots the same depth as they were in the nurs- ery. Roots should, not be turned up. Firm soil well by the foot. Do not put soca back as the grass is liable to smother the tree. Hoe- ing around the trees during the .summer will conserve the moisture and eliminate the grass and weeds that may smother the trees. Furrow planting. 'Plow shallow furrow six feet apart. Plant in the bottom of the furrow and leave the furrow open. Spacing of evergreens in plant- ation, six feet. s ai +t+ Protect the trees from stock. Hens may damage small evergreens .; by eating off the new growth. Mamie Ross, 2; Albert James, 2; Mrs. Harry ,Reid of Moncton, N. B. was held in the hall on Monday even- ing.
