Well here we are into .:the New
Year and time once again, ' .for a
few. lines; First of all thanks, so
Qrueh :iCgr the Cbristirias parcel and
the .card. The parcel arrived .a few
days before Christmas - and every-
;thing was' in perfect order.
'I 'spent the 'holiday with friends
In Belfatit and had a very enjoyable,.
time. Met them quite some time ago
-a Mr. 'and Mrs. Black and they
have been grand` to Inc. Mr. Black
was all through the last „war, • He
ellen a few years in America after.
It was rather, a sad Chr•.istmas'. for
them as Mrs. Black's father passed
way .December 16th. My pal was
with me and they certainly Mad it
a y e
to elne,. In intro:n
England safely as perhaps you have
heard by now. So any of nfy mail
that was sent to my former address
will take sometime before it arrives
here. Luckily .1 received the Christ-
niar parcel .before I left 'Italy. Thank
you all very much, it was really
very nice. I 'hope that Buss 'Clark
`will be able to get Borne soon. We
have had' a light fall of snow a few
days ago'and it really - made the
countryside very clean and white
sent me with me and it was a •grand
treat all round. They can't get the
fruit etc.,here for cakes like that.
Did very well in the way of par-
cels with yours,• two from ' home,
two from Irene and • one from the
old firm G, Tamblyn. Got oodles of
cosmetics, ` socks, shirts,cake,
chocolates and food, Also age and a
year's subscription to Readers Di-
gest so don't you think I did pretty
well by Santa'?
We were fortunate here in gett-
ing time off. -from Sunday night
till Tuesday night—so really had a
good holiday, Saw a ,couple of big
soccer •games -one Christmas day
and the second Boxing Day. They
really take their soccer serious here.
I went as neutral though, so escap-
ed any arguments. The supporters
of one team wear a red flash and : of
the other a blue -one - and what a
time they have. -
The' boys here on camp report a
vely good Christmas dinner' with
plenty of turkey and pork. They
decorated the mess this year and
had table cloths, etc,, so it was quite
a change over a year ago.
The rigs have 'been coming
through fine. Have them up to Dec.
Sent the cards at the time I received
them. 1
I met a couple of Goderich school
mates Christmas night in Belfast so
spent an enjoyable . evening with
them talking over old 'tin).es. It
turned ottt one of them knew sever-
al of anypal's relatives•'.He-is from.
Niagara Falls. Small world after
all, ehl
Well news is,. scarce and I owe
about a dozen, letters' •so better get

it for immediate .service in•1Canada
and the United States. The air -

be", the defence minister said,
and he congratulated those re-
sponsible "for the thought as well
as the work" which made possible
the most comfortable accom-
modation for-Canadian
ccom-modation-for-Canadian casualties.
The car was the first of two
released this month and two more
