And besides I sure hate writing letters!. I !received your parcel! of smokes last night and was sure happy to geb them. There is nothing like the old Canadian smokes, as least for me. So I will say thanks a mil- lion for thorn mrd good luck to you all. I have just came oil nine days leave from up in Edinburgh. Ken was there when I got there and did we ever have good time together! It had been a long time since we has seen each other so we sure had a grand talk. And he sure got a swell wife. I met Eugene about two weeks ago but could not talk lon; with him as I had! to go on duty so we are going to meet this weak end. It sure would have .been nice if Ken and Eu-- gene and I could have all :seen togeth- er for our leave. But I was Welty I saw them as Ken was leaving soon, so we only had about a week together. It was sure hard to leave each other But that is war for you. You must leave your relations and loved cines. Well as I said at the first of this let- ter would be very short and I have to go on duty soon, so will say so long for now. And thanks a lot'•ancl •good luck again to you all, Tom Castle In another letter dated May 4, 1943. Tom writes; "I received your lovely parcel to -day so ant going to write a few lines and let you all know that I received it and to thank you one and all for it. It sure cheers a fellow up to get a letter or parcel. And the gum and -bars were wonderful. There is a lot of difference between the choco- late bars over ihere and the Canadian Bars. I would sooner have one Can- adian bar than three or four of the. ones over here. So thanks, a lot for everything also the smokes. I hope everybody is in good health in Bay- field. I am fine." - Somewhere -in -England. • May 10, 1943 Dear Mrs. Prentice: Well just a few lines to thank you. for such a lovely parcel 'I received from the Bayfield Community Fund. It sure' is swell. I sure will be able to write a lot of letters now with the pen ';and pencil set. And everything 'n the parcel is things that cannot be bought over here now. I also received 300 cigarettes a couple of weeks ago. They were lovely too: It makes one think and appreciate that the people are still thinking of us boys back home. I :haven't seen any Bayfield lads over here since I left the Hold- ing Unit a year ago where I niet Westlake. He was in theanedieai corp with me. I am really having a swell. time over here, just come off a nine day leave in the North of England. Well news is sure scarce here, so will have to close now as it is time for parade, Thanks a million Yours Sin- cerely, Bruce Cann. A. S. O. Margaret Ferguson of Guelph R,C A F.

SCOTT Secretary Chairman of Publicity ,An enthusiastic meeting of butchers from within a radius of 40 miles was held in the Seaforth council chain- bers Monday night when an Indepen- dent Retail Butchers' Association was formed by these men from the coun- ties of Huron, Perth, Bruce, Oxford, and Waterloo. Altogether there were 57 present which was said to be a 100 per cent attendance. This was the greatest meeting of retail butchers ever held in these counties and the executive conmit- tee formed was empowered to take certain recommendations to the re- tail department of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.
