Dear Sir: I have been receiving The Seaforth News from hone for quite some time and I appreciate it very much. It helps me to keep in touch with the happenings of things at home and the up-to-date news of the local area. I am sure that the home town is as beautiful as ever and wish to be remembered to the people at home. I especially thank the Canadian Legion and the Ladies of St. Thomas' Anglican Church, Seaforth, for the parcels and cigar- ettes I have received. I will be arriv- ing home in Seaforth sometime in June and I will be very happy to get home. Over here in Japan the weath- er is very warm and lots of rain as the rainy season will soon be start- ing. I don't mind this country but the meals we get in this camp are not very good. There is a good service centre for the troops known as the Kuri House and we can get some very good meals there for about 4 shillings, that is about fifty cents. They also have good recreation rooms there, everything from snook- er tables, ping •pong and a library, also a theatre with movies every night. I met Don Muir of the P.Y.C. L.I. Regt. just before he left for hone and he was the first from Sea - forth I have met since last October, About the only thing I really miss is Canadian cigarettes. But we get lots of American cigarettes at the local PX. As for the country itself, it is not much to start with and the rice paddies are something wicked for smell during the rainy season. Korea is worse than Japan for the smell, and I don't think there is another country that smells so bad as Korea. Ii a few mere of the people back home knew what the boys over here were up against they would think more often of them. We are told that we only have to do a year over here but some of the boys are doing more than that, the way the rotation is going. Ninety per cent of those get- ting home -on rotation after nine or ten months are single .nen, I ani a married man with three children and still Special Force, signed for 13 months of which I have served over my time. It seems that a few of us married men are doomed to stay here until they get good and ready to send us home. L/Cpl. James J. Sallovs. The Royal Canadian regiment, ENJOYED SEAFORTH VISIT Editor The Seaforth News. Dear Sin --While in Seaforth on Thursday afternoon, waiting for my Doctor to come to his office, I thought I would take a walk over to the hospital and see some of my nurses who were so kind to me last November, while a patient there. Well, when I walked in, the ,secre- tary knew me, and there were just two more nurses who were there at the time. How time changes us people. Well, on my way back I was paid double by the lovely sight that I saw. An old gentlemen was at his lawn. When I stopped and said to him "Are those daisies -out in bloom in your lawn?” "Yes, come over here and I will show you a Bleeding Heart". And it sure was. there must have been over 1000 •blooms on it, and then he showed his other flow- ers and his beds made with stones, and his birdhouses, all so lovely. He lives on the street near the hos- pital and he is 82 years old. Archie Forbes, Dublin. DUBLIN Rev. Joseph A.
