I've just suddenly realized that, when I get beck to Seaforeh, I'll be one of you— the youngster that a quarter of a century ag o watched the "sojers" marching away never dreaming that one day he'd follow in their revered foot -steps. Do 1 claim any distinction as regards the very welcome airgrePh of Dee. 12/41 le concerned? I mean are there any others from Seaforth farther away from the old town? I think 1 can claim one distinction anyway. I'm sure none of the recipients could have been in a Position to appreciate the little poem more than 1, I think If you could picture me in a tent somewhere on the Western Desert with that same W.

Well, enough of eentiment, sincere as it In. How many of you blokes saw as much of the world as I've seen in my nineteen months?

I've just celebrated my first anni- versery as 0.0, of a station, most of the time holding a Flight Lieutenant vacanee, but I'm still a Flying Officer. I guess Ot- tawa doesn't follow the fortunes of us chaps who are attached to strictly RAF units- with no other RCAF personnel with us. I shouldn't 'kick though, I came into this to do what I could to help out and have been kept busy ever since I got overseas. I don't think I'd want to be cooling my heels some place for months waiting to go to work. In fact I :nay be a few kinds of a darn fool, but I haven't taken leave since I joined up. I moved around so fast that It was just as good as leave seeing all the new places and sights. All in all I wouldn't be surprised if I was the luckiest of the &a- fore': boys when it comes to adventures. I'll drop in and swap a yarn with you when I get back, May I? Got the fags, Thanks again.

Will you do your part when someone calls on you, SALVAGE BULLETIN A lot of needed salvage material is not reaching the market, Hon. J. T. Thorson, Minister of. National War Services, said to- day, because of a baseless fear that it drifts into the hands of junk dealers and peddlers, who hold It to make large profits. Mr. Thor - son's 'statement said: "This is contrary to the fects. In the first place thew people are in this business and have been in it for years. If any attempt were made to eliminate them from their place in the economic structure, it would be necessary for the Government to go into this business, which would involve the setting up of a Dominion -wide organizer tion, involving the employment of thousands of people who would have to be trained be- fore they could do the job. Fairmont Limit- ed is a crown company, controlled by the Department of Munitions and Supply. This company is the ultimate purchaser of all scrap rubber, and likewise fixes the price which the dealer pays, and definitely controls the profit made by the dealer. Wartime Sal- vage Limited, a crown company under the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, is the ul- timate purchaser of waste paper and scrap metals, ferrous and non-ferrous and exercises the same control over prices and profits. These companies distribute the salvage mat- erials purchased by them to the best possible advantage in the prosecution of the war. Money cannot be made in Brides controlled by these companies through hoarding, and accumulations do not indicate hoarding for profit, butthat directions have not gone for- ward to holders of these commodities as to where the game shall be shipped. The Steel Controller and Metals Controller requires reports on the quantity of metals purchased by all dealers and the quantity on hand cre the end of each month. Voluntary salvage corps are required to report to the Director of Salvage at the end of each month the calumets, of materials collected and sold the dealer, also the prices they obtained from the dealers. These are carefully checked. In this way the public may be assured that no Profiteering is permitted in connection with salvage operations." NORTHSIDE W. M. S, MEETS AT MRS,M.
