'Seaforth is proud of its repntatioti

as ,Seaforth: "The Seaforth News
claims for its town the only kinder-
garten in Western 'Ontario outside of
the cities. But kindergarten classes
have been conducted for years in
Goderich." Whatever these classes
may be, the .fact remains there is no
recognition in the •official government

county and none in any other West-
ernOntario town. There may be
some good and sufficient reason: for
this ,phenomen.mt and if so, taxpay-

the question.

LETTERS FROM THE WEST
Interesting Response to Notes En-
closed in Western Relief Car
This letter was received by Mrs,
William Carver, Hullett township.
Minton, Sack, Nov. 6, 1934,
Dear Mrs. Carter,—There was a
carload of fruit and vegetables came
into! Hinton •fromSeaforth, Ont, We
got a quantity of cabbage, turnips,
carrots, also potatoes and a jar of
applejelly, with your name and ad-
dress on and I presume ydu would
like to hear who got it.
We enjoyed the jelly very much,
also- vegetables, as we haven't had a
garden here for several years. The
last good crop was in 119L18, and as this
land was just opened tip for home-
steads the acreage was so small it
wasn't much help,
Ninety-lfive percent, of the people
are on Relief 'here. We get $;6,30 per
mouth for groceries, ,and we have to
depend on outside help mostly for
clothing and we have found it very
hard indeed.
We are a young couple, myself 36
years, and my husband. 28, \Ve live
alone on the homestead in a hoose
141410. ily husbadn took np a home-
stead here seven years nee We live
right beside the boundary of Mon-
tana, U,S,A., and are a hundred miles
almost straight south of Regina. '\\'e
..re seventeen miles from -Minton, our
nearest town and three utiles from the
Big Muddy Breaks (they are called).
The scenery is very beautiful at the
Muddy. Petrified trees and people.
White clay hills. like mountains.
There are different kind, of berries
growing in the coolies, also wolves,
coyotes and jumping deer. Sorry 1
haven't some snaps of the scenery to
;end you.
\Ve live about hall a mile from a
coal mine, so haven't far to go for
coal.
'\Ve have a sod barn, 20 chickens, 1
cow and calf, five turkeys, four horses
and we keep hounds ler catching
senates,
\Ve are having very nice weather
here at present. Hope it continues as
it will mean quite a saving in the feed
question,
I hope if you people in the east are
ever in need of help, we will be in a
position to help, as the people of this
community are so grpteful for any
help they have received. If the people
in the east only knew how much their
help has meant to us here, they would
feel somewhat rewarded for their
kindness.
•Thanking you nage, I wish to re-
main, very sincerely,.

Mr, John C. Stevens r f town has
received the following letter from

Hazlet, Sask., Nov. 21, 1934,
Dear Mr. Stevens:—
We
tevens:\Ve received your box of groceries
out of the car of frttdt and vegetables,
which was sent to Hazlet, 'IVe want
to thank you ever so much for your
kindness. We also received out of the
car, 2 sacks of potatoes, about a doz-
en carrots, 4 heads of cabbage and
7 or 8 turnips.
Qt's been so dryhere that wt have
not had crop nor garden for 3 years.
The grasehopers and army worsts
have been very bad for both crops
and gardens. 374e only got a pail of
potatoes this year out of 2 large pat-
ches,
atches, and about the came in the previ-
ous years. No one down there can
imagine how we appreciate your kind-
ness in helping us out. Our territory
is so large, though, that no one gets
very much out of one car.
I was born in 'Tillsonburg. Which
way do you live from there? I came
to Manitoba in 1905 and to Saskatch-
ewan in W16. In ;Oct„ '32, '1 had my
leg off in Rochester and last July I
had the other one off in Swift Cur-
rent, So you see I am not able to do
the work myself and 'have had to
depend on my oldest boy (w'ho is 17),
to do the work, for the past two years.
I have what they call the "Burgious”
disease, My hands and arms also
bother me quite a bit..
a have a family o•f six girls (one is
married) and 3 boys, so it is pretty
hard to try and get 'a'long on what
relief we can get, which isn't near
enough.
We had a light snow4itll about the

Dear Friend, --gust a Yew litres to let
you know that I got part of the on-.
ions yott sent in the voluntary car for
the drought area of Saskatchewan.
As 1 'helped (unload the car when it
arrived I spied the bag of onions as it
was split open .and Q saw the mote en-
closed so tI saved it, also some of the
onions, and ,you may rest assured that
I will ,plant them in the spring.
If you know anybody else that en-
closed a note in vegetables or potatoes
and they do not hear from anybody
that received theist, they may rest as-
sured that they were well distributed
as the vegetable -bags were emptied
and sorted to give everybody a little
of each; it was pretty hard to get all
the notes that were enclosed.
The crop out here was nil on ae-
count of the dry weather and also the
grasehap'pere. and as far as potatoes
and gardens are concerned. 'We have
had none for the last two years. se.
the potatoes and vegetables that were
sent were store welcomed in thi 11 -
trict,
If you people in the East ever get
in the position that we are in the West
at the present time, and we are in a
position to help the people in the East,
just let .us know and we will give a
helping hand 'and be glad to do so,
Hoping this letter finds you all in
good health, and be sure to write me.
