Miss , Macerate Italy. is now in She writes that she is in good health and is receiving fairly regularly the food parcels sent by the Red Cross. She. says there is plenty in these parcels and she is able to put by some for emergency. In June of this year she received a parcel of clothing and oth- er articles sent by her sister, Mrs. Charles Stevens, of Timmins, who has also heard from• her.
