Sproat has received the following letters of thanks for parcels sent by the local branch of the Canadian Legion: 49 Beulamond Ave., Toronto. Dear comrade—The box of fruit and sweets 'carne as a complete surprise and also as the bearer of good tid- ings. To know one is not forgotten means much. I regret that I cannot get about any more, but there are so many kind people everywhere that one is greatly cheered. Please thank the comrades for this token of remembrance. Sincerely, E. W. Ed- wards. Mar. 6th. Dear friends:—A, few lines in grateful appreciation of the 800 cigarettes I received from you yesterday. They certainly arrived at the very opportune momentwhen nearly everyone in the camp is out of cigarettes. The )nail from home has been rather disappointing lately as we don't seem to receive hardly' any mail at all. However, we're sure thankful for what we do get. I spent a rather quiet'holiday time at Christ- mas, the only feasting we had was the Christmas dinner and it was a huge success. Since that we've been on training until this past two .weeks at which time we were sent out on another war -time construction job. We feel a lot better both physically and mentally when we're on cons- truction work, at which time we also get an extra ration allowance. The main feeling in our blood is the ex - °E pectancy of being in battle in the First Presbyterian Church Rev. Hugh Jack, Minister.
