Dear Mr.'.Lane,—It ,has been a very pleasant experience to distribute the wonde'r'ful gifts from your people to the needy people in the "Blown - out, Dried -out, ,Hailed -out" part of IS'askatehewan. Many were the ex- pressions of true gratitude to you and your people from the 260 families as- sisted by your ,kindness. Bruce:field, Egniotidville, hfdKillo'p and Seaforth will not soon be forgotten by the grateful people of this community. 11 had a telep'hone message from Rev'd George Loney on October 6th that your car had been shipped ,here. d then called a meeting of my official board and invited representatives from the R.M. and Village Councils. The aneetin'g was held on October 7 and a .committee ap'pointed to unload the car when it arrived on October 8th, The car arrived about noon and was unloaded before six ,p.m, The contents were in . excellent condition. 'The method Of distribution niay be of ,interest to you: A v'acan't store was used as the centre of operations. As the different gifts were unloaded they were arranged in their order: Fruit, apples, potatoes, turnips, etc. A member of the distributing com- mittee was placed -in charge of each department and our local M.L.A. was clerk. As the people entered the build- ing 'I interviewed them regarding their requirements and the clerk made a note of then in a counter check book in duplicate.. The list was passed on to the man in charge of each depart - meat and when completed, the .goods were delivered to the proper persons through the rear entrance. This sys- tem proved very satisfactory. You cannot imagine what your gifts niaymean to the disappointed people of this p'rovin'ce. Alter the spring seeding the terrible' wind •and dust storms came and blighted their hopes. T'he seed was blown out and the ditches filled with dust, covering the fences. Alfter reseeding there was no nt'oi'sttre and the wind again destroy- ed any.prospect o'f a crop. Then came a terrific,hail storm destroying all gard'en's and trees, On the Sunday following the hail storm I preached to my congregation at Blue Hill and found it very trying. The hail had. smashed every window in the Church and narked the 'building. Yet the pe'o'ple came to worship. 'The kindness of your people has lifted the thoughts of our ,people from their 'triads and sent cheer to many little ones As you will receive other letters from the various organization's and from some of the families assist- ed, you will have some idea of the ex- tent of help rendered by you to this community. :We would like to also communicate with some of the .fam'il'ies and indiv- iduals who were so kind in •contribut- ing to the needs of our people. Please express our thanks to as , many as 'possible and assure them of our sin- cere appreciation. Wishing you all abundant blessing, I am, Yours sincerely, George B. Cree.

Dear Sir,—T'he splendid car Of goods loaded at Seaforth was dis- tributed in this vicinity recently; and I wish the congregation's to know that it brought more happiness to more people than anything S. ever „w'itnesseck The distribution was made to 260 families without a single hitch, and not a word of ill feeling has been re- ported. You and your brother ministers are indeed fortunate in being permitted to minister to such s'plend'id congrega- tions of warm-hearted people. Thein gene.rosi'ty will not soon be iorgotten 'by _those in distress in this district; and if we hear of a crop failure in your district when we have plenty, we will surely endeavor to reciprocate this kindness..

There were some apples that came from Clinton. I used to live about 6 miles from there in the villlage of ILwn,des'b•oro, so it seems very like. shame to me. My maiden name was Sara J. Gibbs.
