Letters To the Editor: "Office of the Treasurer, Nekoma Township, Dec. 7, 1937. To the Clinton News Record,. Clinton, Ont. Dear News -Record Sinter writing you before, the harvest has been gathered in, the plowing has been finished, and now winter is with' us once mare. Up to the present time we in this part of the state have had very little snow. The highways are still- good, our roads, and also the roads leading to them. This is not true of the state as a whole, for I see by the papers that they have had plenty of snow trouble in other parts of it. The harvest was net a big one, but It was good when compared with what we have had. The oats and rye were good, but wheat, 'ba°rley and flax at so good, The gardens though. were just wonderful. The grasshop- pers didn't do any damage and the potato bugs were fes„ consequently the gardens were fine. About our apple crop, there is not much, to be said, but you must not think for a minute that we haven't got our ap- ple -picking time. Yes, we have that, but we have to, pick them out of boxes and to, me they do not taste quite so good at the ones we used to pick from ,)he trees "Back Home." Wishing the News -Record and all connected with it, and its many rea- ders, a Merry Cristmas and A Pros- perous New Year. —A. E. Johnston, Nekoma, N.D." CAit SHIPPED: FOR WESTERN RELIEF APPRECIATED "The Manse, Speers, Sask., ' December 8th, 1937. Mr. C. J. Wallis, Clinton, Dear Mr. Wallis—I had the honor and privilege of the Chairmanship of ..he Committee to distribute the won- derful carload of Fruit aria other sup=" plies donated by the residents of Clinton and district. I wish you could have answered the telephone for us, you would then be in a better position to convey the deep gratitude felt, by the people of this community for your generosity. As I stated before we were able to serve about two hun- dred and fifty families and most of these would have faced a winter with- out fruit or vegetables. The car seemed to be made to Order. The goods in the car exactly filled the particular needs of this district. We have a United Church Hospital in the next village which serves the medical needs of ,this district. The "iuperintendent, Dr. Shepley, is also Medical Health Officer for this area, and in conversation with him recently he stated "that the arrival 'if this car would greatly assist him in his efforts to,,,maintain a high standard of health in the community." You have therefore notonly assisted us to ward off hunger but ill health as well. I think others have written to ad- dresses found in the sacks. Some of the addresses in the potato sacks were blurred and could not be de- ciphered, and if notes were not ans- ered was no due to of• ap- preciation itt o p reciation, Will you kindly convey our heartiest appreciation to all who gave and helped to load this car. We have heard' of complaints made in connection with other cars. If you should receive any from this district kindly let us know. I can assure you at least 90% of the people are grate- ful. . Yours very: sincerely, • Rev. Thomas Musto." GODERICH TOWNSHIP Mr. Ben. Anderson of Toronto spent the week -end with his brother, Lott Anderson, who is still quite ill.
