"Long Distance.
Telephoning is heavier
than it was a year ago"
�0 rJ ®RVG—For the firstthree months of this
year Long Distance lines handled calls at a rate
which would represent an increase, over the full
year, of nearly three and one-half million calls.
So you see we're not out of the woods yet and
won't be until the war is won. Please continue
to keep wartime communication lines clear
—use Long Distance for essential calls only.

France, Aug. 10, 1944
Dear Mr, and Mrs. Middleton:
1 received your most welcome let --
ter yesterday, the one you >'wrote
July 26th. I am glad to hear you are
all fine. I am still okay. You. know
I am in France now. I like 14 here
fine, it took ire almost three years
to get where I wanted to be. It is a
beautiful, country very much like
Canada but the buildings are away
out oft date. I was really surprised at
the wonderful crops but the farmers
are, having a hard time to harvest
it. The soilis much the salve as at
home. I know because I have dug
lots of trenches to sleep in. The only
thine that bothers me are the mos-
quitoes. At niyht they work in 9's,
two lift the blankets and the other
one crawls right in with you.
I guess helpis scarce now. I wish
that I' was at home to help you with
your apples'this year but I should be
home by next • spring, if 1 ant I will
be web satisfied.
I was surprised to hear that Jim
Shearer was farming now, he was
really a good head. I haven't made
up my mind but 1 guess I will buy
a farm when 1 come back. ,
Tell Ted I was asking for hien. So
.Margaret is overseas now, if.I get a
leave back to England I will call on
her. T know the place where she is
at. There are three Canadian hos-
pitals in 'France now.
1 saw Albert Craig last night for
a little while. He is looking fine.
The boys really appreciate the way
the Red Cross helps us. It makes us
feel great to know that there are so
many people helping us boys to do
our job. It isn't so soft here. _I
haven't had a roof over my head for
the last six months. Well I must
close, as 1 have to go on a' convoy up
to the front line with a load of
ammunition. Well the best of luck.
• Howard.
In a letter to his Mother written
Sept. 8th, Howard, says that he
didn't learn much French and will
have to learn Belgian now. He also
says they have been very busy and
the •mail has quite a time to keep up
with them. He saw Albert Craig that
day and he was line.

Dear Friend:
I take this opportunity to write
and thank you for the parcel I re-
ceived to -day. It came through in
Al condition and I ask you, if you
would be so kind as to thank the
Bayfield; Community Club for the
same. i can assure all that the con-
tents are of excellent,choice and very
much appreciated. I hope Mrs. M.
Prentice received the first letter I
wrote, to her and the Club from here
in France, thanking all for previous
gifts. A few days ago 1 transported
a .German trnek,load of P.O.W. to a
camp. In the cab rode a German
Major and 1, and one of out chaps
in the back with. others. Upon ar-
riviny at the, camp one of the prison-
ers tapped my shoulder and gave me
his compass, it straps' on the wrist
Their vehicles handle much the
game as ours, but a Canadian truck
is • preferred, ' There are lots of •pe-
culiar happenings but of course we
are censored and must watch P's
and Q's. I am in the best of health
and hope all my Bayfield friends
can say the same. Thanking you one
and all T close, with Cheerio, Friend,
Bill.
The above was received by Mrs.
Nina Westonwho packed the •box
