CONSTANCE WOMAN RECEIVES LETTER In Reply to Note Placed In Socks For Overseas The following is a letter received by Mrs. Frank Riley of Constance, who put her name and address in a pair of Red Cross stockings, It con- tains great praise for the Red Cross: "13th Aug., 1943. Dear Mrs. Ril- ey,—I received two pairs of socks from the Canadian Red Cross today and in one of them I found your note. The entire unit was issued with 2 prs. of socks and two handker- chiefs and I can assure you they were most acceptable. Since arriving in England, over three years ago, 1 have received at least ten pairs of socks from the Red Cross, to say nothing of three pullover sweaters, and several pairs of gloves, mitts, etc,, and a high neck, long-sleeved sweater. At one time my brother in Kirkland Lake wrote and asked me if Red Cross comforts were being sold to -us as there had been a rum- our going about town that such was the case. I wrote and told him that the rumour was entirely unfounded and I have never heard of it happ- ening over here. The Red Cross is doing a magnificent job over here and we can never be .too grateful to you folks back home for your con- tinued generosity. I did not realize until coming overseas that the Red Cross is doing so much, but now I have nothing but profound admira- tion for the Society. I come from Ontario myself, just north of Tor- onto, and have three brothers sery-• ing over here and another in uni- form in Canada. I must close now. Thanks a million for the socks. Yours respectfully, Eric Wright." B29439 ',Cpl. E. Wright, 1 Cdn, Meeh. Equip. Coy., RCE., CAO. Pte. Alvin Riley, who is home on leave from Terrace, 'B.iC., is spend- ing a few days in Fort Erie.
