SOLDIER IN ENGLAND DENIES RUMOR Dear Mother, Annie and Jimmy: Just received your most welcome letter this evening, so I decided to answer it right away. • Who started saying I am married. I've got four letters now saying I am. The first one was from Norman M{night; I don't know where he got old of it. What did they say in the letter froth Ottawa. ' Could you send it on to me the next time you write, please. I I have no idea of getting married. Nor shall I ever get married over in this country. After all I'm only young yet, so why should I be tied down, when I'm just in the best years of my life. Besides the young lady I want is at home, and she writes' me very often, at least once or twice a week. So don't pay any attention to what you hear over there please. She also heard the rumor some place too, as I read it in her letter a few minutes ago. It almost knocked me off my feet. There is.a rumor going around here now that we might get leave to go home for awhile, but I don't sup- pose anything will- come of it.. I re- ceived the cigarettes you sent and I wish to thank you very much. They mean a lot to us over here. Do you think when Don -comes over he would like to be in the regi- ment with me and the boys, or would he prefer to stay with the gang he joined with. It would be great to be both in the same outfit, wouldn't ib? I was on seven days' leave March 11 to 18 and I had a swell time, was up to see Aunt Rose, Phil„ Marjorie and David. It seemed hard to have to come back to billets again. We have had a lovely winter. All the snow we saw was around three inches for one day only. The rest has been sunny cold days, The past fort- night has been lovely, we've been out drilling with our shirt sleeves rolled up, and my face is already sunburn- ed. Wow! is this old sun ever hot.

SHOP AT AVAUGE IT PAYS IPlowing Match Notes Roland Williams of Exeter is the chairman of the Lunch Committee for the 1942 International Plowing Match to be held in Huron County on October 13, 14, 15 and 16th of this year,• on a specially selected location in Hallett Township between Sea - forth and Clinton. "Roly" Williams has a big job on his hands..„the task of feeding the hungry army of plowmen who will be taking part in this great exposition. That may sound comparatively easy, and yet it is not an easy task because for fonu• days the men who are taking part inthe competition will depend on the committee headed by Mr. Williams to feed thein. Arrangements are being made at the present time to secure caterers who will make up the lunches, which will be banded out to the various plowmen. The next step will be to ar'range for distribution facilities.... and that is no easy task.... scattered throughout the various fields where the competitions will be taking place, the plowmen will have to have the lunch brought to them on time. Mr. Williams is quite optimistic about the general situation and says he feels that the co-operation ex- hibited by the various people direct- ly connected with the plowing match is in itself a definite assurance, that the 1942 International Plowing match to be held in Huron County will be, in spite of the difficulties occasioned by world conditions, one of the most successful ever to be presented in the province of Ontario.
