A heavy fall of snow and temperate ure hovering slightly higher than Len degrees above zero, llae been ac'; ompanied by strong southwest winds. Drifting suow has Cut down traffic on provincial and county highways to a minimum, although the big plows are goingil through regularly. Train schedules have been tnain- tained. Tractor plowing Seaforth roads, be- gun last week, has had its first real test. Pedestrians as well as all other traffic, follow the middle of the road under the new system. Back roads in the country are fill- ed in and many township residents have not received mail since Monday. The local hotels were tilled to capacity Monday night with storm bound motorists. The Clinton hockey boys gave up the battle when they reached Seaforth on the return jour- ney from Tavistook and stayed here till next morning, Stade, Seaforth goalie, likewise climbed into a Sea - forth hotel bed, rather than return home to Zurich. Stade threatened to "massacre" anyone who waked him before 2.30 o'clock next afternoon. The local hockey fans and team had a strenuous journey home from Tavistock Monday night and several cars went into the ditch. One young fan who attended the game did not show up at his place of employment in Seaforth until Wed- nesday. This week's storm is a sharp con- trast from the spring-like weather of last week.

Woodhill Shanley Green Mon., Jan, 13, 1941 Dear Friend. I received the cigar- ettes from you and I was very glad to get them. So I want to thank you very, very much, We sore appreciate Canadian rigs over here—that is the only time we get a good smoke. We are having nice weather over dere. No snow yet. I was up at Edin- burgh. Scotland on 7 day leave, They have some snow up there but it made It look more like home, and I had a wonderful time, Coming back I took a walk around London. I saw Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, and. I was down around St. Paul's Cathedral, and it is quite a mess around there. I came home then and I ani on guard duty now, which is a heck of a job. I got a few parcels for Christmas. I got the one that your Overseas Committee sent to me, Which was very nice. We had a turkey dinner in the canteen here for Christmas and we certainly enjoyed it. I have seen Bob Venus, Charlie Woods, Charlie Mow- bray and John Strong, but not for quite a while. So I don't know bow they are getting along. Buzz, Curley and Bob Smith are here with nee and they are feeling fine. Well, I have to go on guard again so I will close for now. And again I thank you very much for the smokes. So cheerio for now. Your friend, SPR, C. COOMBS, Sunday, Jain 14, 1941. Somewhere ir, Eng. Dear Sir. Just a line to let You know I received your cigarettes. It is sure well to get a good Canadian smoke for a change. I just got back Off 7 days' leave up in Scotland. I had a wonderful time, Our tickets were made out to Aberdeen but we fof held up in London in an air raid or 9 hours, so we stopped off in Edinburgh. We were doing guards ou the coast over Christmas and New Year's, so we were about due for a rest. The weather over here is terrible. .Jt is wet and cold all the time. When we got up to Edinburgh it was more like home. They had about 6 or 8 inches df s snow, so we were all. right. Well I guess I had better atop.
