evening was spent in dancing to

the lunch 'intermission Mrs. George
Carter presented a leather bill -foul
and inoney while Jim Jamieson read
the following address: Dear Law-
rence. Our community has been fort-
unate in having the opportunity of
welcoming•many'returned servicemen..
Tonight we have the unusual experi-
ence of welcoming a veteran of two
World Wars . We are, sorry we have
been so tardy hi holding your recep-
tion but any one raised hi Hullett
00011117 realizes that Old Man Winter
with blocked roads, and the unusual
Spring weather can easily interfere
With plans for social gatherings., We
are proud of the part our servicemen
have played in the cause of freedom,
and we are thankful that God has
watched over all, and brought all
safely home again. Due to your long
absence from the community, you
will find, among those present tonight
many strangers, but we hope- you will
meet many old friends and even for-
mer school -mates. This gift Is pre-
sented as a slight token of our esteem
and appreciation of your services and
with it go our best wishes for your
future health and happiness,
Laurence replied thanking the peo-
ple of the community for their weir
come, the gift and for all parcels and
gifts while he was overseas.- He ex-
plained how the false report of sold-
iers being charged for Red Cross par-
cels might have originated. It was
necessary for those in charge of sup-
plies to receive the signature of each
one receiving a Red Cross article.
Some soldiers refused to sign, so
could, not be given these sappily.
They may have believed that if they
signed their names, the cost would be
deducted from their pay. This was
not tree. Laurence was accompanied
by his sister Miss Florence Taylor.

enclosed his name. Following is the
letter: Mr, Ed 7, McBride: I write to
you 16 thank you for a jacket 'and 9-
waistcoat which was given by you to
somebody in Norway who .needed it.
Thank you so much. Pm so glad I got
these clothes. I haven't got any suit
in the last six years so you under-
stand I needed it and the clothes fit
me well. I lost my parents when I
was a little boy. Since that time I've
lived in the home of my grandfather
and grandmother at Slagnes Sum-
mon When I was a little boy I had
bad health and I was a long time in
the hospital. We are living quite well
in Norway now but there is little yet
of clothes and shoes and everything
is costing very much. My home is not
far from the sea. I should like to hear
a little more about you and your
homestead. You are welcome to us.

HE'LL NEED FORESTS TOO!
If you look to the bush country for recreation or business, you'll
realise how much it will mean to theyoungsters of today if you help
to save the forests for tomorrow. Above all, protect the forests, from fire.
Ontario has been abundantly blessed with natural resources,
which, if not properly protected, can be quickly exhausted. Every
year, for example, thousands of acres of trees are destroyed because
someone is not careful with fire. -
Forests mean much more than a pleasant place to holiday : t
an attraction for tourists ... shelter for game animals and flshing
haunts. They mean more than a source of lumber and paper products,
and jobs for thousands of people, vital as these are to national welfare:
Climate -is tempered—extremes prevented -by forest areas. They
store water too—help to keep rivers and streams from dan9erous and
costly flooding in spring time. They spread the flow of water more
evenly through the year. That means they help to ensure a year-round
+ supply of Hydro power for you. --^
Protect the forests. They serve you well,
SOME WAYS TO BE CAREF. UI ABOUT FIRE

• Be sure your discarded cigarette is really out.
