LETTERS OF THANKS FROM OVERSEAS Seaforth Branch of the Canadian Legion No. 15.6 again requests that any names and addresses of mem- bers of our forces overseas or change of address, be handed to R, T. Sproat or J. E. Keating as they are completing the list for cigarettes, chocolates or guru. There are now about 150 overseas in our zone. The Legion wishes to thank the Winthrop unit Red Cross, the Reb- ekah Lodge and others for their gen- erous donations and these will be used fora good cause. Dear Friends,—Here goes to make an attempt at thanking you all for the gift of cigarettes that I received today. The coming of these smokes today coincides with what was a memorable day (Nov.$llth) in the previous -war. Too bad that it does not mean the end of this war but we are well on the way to it. Thanks a lot to you all of the Legion for the cigarettes. I guess you know just how much they are appreciated. es- pecially in these countries of France and Belgium where nearly every child that can talk knows sufficient of the English language to ask for a cigarette for "papa" and a choco- late for "ma -ma" and sister. Well, you can guess most of the boys are capable of looking to the comfort of sister. That story of a cigarette for papa has become worn out now so it is designed with more appeal, papa's been sick for four years. But we do become hard hearted, for most people havebeen sick of this war for five years. However if the daughter is sweet, pop pretty nearly always is a ur ss edf a smoke. o You see,cig- arette arette is just as great a gestue now as a handshake and the boys are liberal. The boys of the Allied forces are undoubtedly the finest goodwill ambassadors that Canada or Britain, etc., have sent out in Many a day. They ooze cheeriness and these inhabitants are not at all slow to respond to it. T have a fine opportunity in this regard to find out. for at the first time on arrival here we were convoying transport through France 'to Belgium through such places as Arras, Amiens, Lille and Brussels, which names will be familiar to a lot of you. And should one vehicle fall out of line through mechanical failure, it wasn't long until the local people were around it with fruit or hot potatoes, coffee, etc., and if you can't fix your vehicle stay with us tonight. We get lots of these invitations but our job was to get that truck moving if at all poss- ible. The first few stops were enough to convince some of us to tow a vehicle into the country a piece before' investigating its troubles. for our inadequate knowledge of the ( language got us into quite a pickle at times, so much so that we began to talk to one another with our 1 hands and arms. Also by getting away from the towns and villages saved our patches or badges, for all wanted souvenirs, even though a lot of fellows had preceded us along the same roads. The kids all know one complete sentence: "Any gum, chum?" It's all quite an experience but nevertheless the quicker it's over the better, for there is no place like home to us all and the boys up 'be- yond are having hard going, The weather has been h-l-ish and the boys who carry the fight to Jerry have to battle the elements much more so than we who try to keep the vehicles in order. The Jerries weap- ons reach a long way and the rocket shells or flying bombs keep all on edge. Well fellows, I think I have said enough. Everything is going fairly well with us in this detach- ment. I would have liked to have been able to,mention that I had con- tacted some of the local boys, but unfortunately that isn't so for we are attached to the British Army at present. I read a newspaper cutting about the suggestion of a municipal memorial hall in town and' I think it is a swell idea. It could certainly be the most comfortable memory of the local effort in this conflict. So to you all of the Legion thanks a mil- lion for the smokes and. every suc- cess to the community. Yours sin- cerely, SOHN WOOD. MAE LANE AUXILIARR The November meeting of the Mae Lane Auxiliary • was held on Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Ross Savauge. The meeting was opened by a hymn followed with prayers by Mrs. A. Wright and Mrs. A. Westcott after which the national anthem was .sung.

Mrs. Whitney, convener of Circle 3, took charge and after a hymn Miss Abbie .Seip led in prayer. 'Phe .Scrip- ture reading was givens by Mrs. Wm. Barber. Mrs. W. Bradshaw and. Mrs.` H. Snell who were delegates to the Women's Missionary Society of Hu- ron Presbyterial convention held in Dun's Church, McKillop, on Sept: 29thgave splendid reports of both the morning and afternoon' sessions. Miss • Fennell introduced the new study book for the- coming year, "West of the Date Line" and the missionary activities in the .South Pacific. A social hour followed the meeting. Dear Sirs,—Just a short note to thank you for the carton of smokes of which I was the recipient this past week. Although I am not a heavy smoker they are much more of a pleasure than these blighty cigs. ,I am enjoying myself while in Eng- land but often think of good old Seaforth days and have hopes of be- ing back in the near future. Thank- 1 ing you over again, SGT. JACK FORTUNE, RCAF. Overseas. ,Dear Legion Members,—Just a few lines from Somewhere in Hol- land to thank you for the 300 cigar- ettes I received from you, a few days ago. I suppose you all know how cigarettes are appreciated out here as most of you were in. this act once yourselves. The war in Europe has moved fast the last few months as you know, which delays our mail to a certain extent. However, we get a ration of cigarettes that fill in the. gap between parcels, Everything is going okay with us here and we have gone a long way in a short time. I hope it won't be long before we go o just as far back and.'I can be _ one of you in rSeaforth. Thanking you again for the cigarettes. PEARSON CIIrESNEY,• RCAF.

Many things- are useful and desir- able. Only one thing is absolutely indispensable. There is one thing which, if a man possess, he is well oft, whatever else he may lack. Only one thing which, if a man lack, he is ruined, whatever else he may poss- ess. Is it property? No; for we have seen persons utterly destitute of it, and yet happy and contented. Is it ,health? Many persons have had their happiest hours in severe sickness. Health is not indispensable. Is it a good reputaton?' The con- sciousness of innocence will uphold a man against the wildest storm of obliquy. 'A good man, whom sland- erers have made hateful to his fel- lowmen, is far happier than he whom successful hypocrisy has led his fellowmen to load with honours. "A good name is better than rubies." But, even a good name is not the one thing indispensable. An interest in Jesus Christ, an ex- perimental knowledge of His great salvation, is the only indispensable thing. You cannot do without this. You cannot stand at the judgment seat without it. It is the "one thing needful" the one 'indispensable thing.' Have you got it? •(John 3:14- 18, John 5:124),,8 4G.M. MAMMOTH RED CROSS - BAZAAR REALIZES $486 The highest hopes of the members of the Red Cross Society were more than realizeed on Saturday .when their mammoth bazaar was complete- ly successful. The proceeds amount- ed to $486.00 net It was only through the generous response of the citizens in donating gifts, home cooking, produce and any of the -nu- merous articles that were for sale and then through the purchasing of these articles that we were able to clear $486.00 for the Red Cross. To make this amount of money in one afternoon at one bazaar we fully realize it took ;the help and generos- ity of many people. The magnitude of the crowd which gathered even before the doors were, opened and continued on through the afternoon, only proves that our people are al- ways interested and willing to help in making any of the Red Cross ef- forts a success. We thank you. We would like to 'thank our con- veners and committees, the people who so willingly donated and helped, all who served and baked, Mr. and Mrs. McTavish for the store, the lady who made the mats,' the ones who sold tickets and the community in general for their very generous support and co-operation. The lucky winner of the pair of mats was Mrs. G. Bechtel of Sea- forth, and the draw was made by little Patsy Hawkins. RED CROSS NOTES Now that our bazaar is over we must not slacken up in our work and efforts toet clothing and knitted articles completed for shipment to our girls and boys in the services -and for those unfortunate people who gave so generously of their time and help in making our bazaar such a success, will continue to help in our regular Red Cross sewing and knitt- ing week by week. From all reports, sewing and knitting are urgently needed overseas. When we realize that one home out of every three have either been destroyed or dam- aged in Britain, we can readily -see that this clothing is needed. New quotas have been accepted and mat- erials ordered. Sewing -490 diapers, 200 girls bloopers, size 10 to 12, 50 -boys coats, size 6 -to 8, 50 boys shorts size 6 to 8; .50 boys jackets, size 6 to 8, 20 women's dresses size 38. Knitting, 100 soakers, 100 pis. navy socks, 100 pis. service socks, ,30 pis. gloves. We have still to complete a quota of bed socks, boys sleepers, girls combinations, turtle neck sweaters, scarves,' gloves and mitts. An executive meeting will be held in the work rooms Friday at 4.30 p.m. MARINELLI-CASE A. quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized in St. Thomas Anglican Church, Seaforth, on Monday, Nov. 27th, when Jessie Isabelle, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Case, Seaforth, and the late Mr. E.
