Dear Mrs. Prentice:—
On April 5th, I received two par-
cels from the Bayfield Community
Fund both arriving in perfect con-
dition. 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.
In, one of his first letters to 'his

Church in 1910 and later served under
the W. M. S, of the 'United Church
and was stationed at Tokyo. She was
home several times' on furlough and
was repatriated before completing
her term,
She told4of .the Missionary work in
connection ,with the various • Mission
schools for girls and also spoke of the
Protestant Churches in. 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. They had
an opportunity of demonstrating the
Christian Life while' interned there
and Miss Courtice said she had, noth-
ing but good to say of her treatment
.from the Japanese while in C'amp.
A11 present heard, Miss Courtice's
address with interest and appreciation
Mrs. Larson sang a beautiful solo
and after the meeting ended refresh-
ments were served.

Directions for Distributing the Trees.
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.
