Yes, it's gone now, you see we share each other's parcels as they arrive, since our small carrying space won't allow us to do any hoarding. The Christ- mas cake was a delightful change, we don't get that kind of cake in the army. The pocket-size book is just the right type since we can keep them handy and when the oppor- tunity arises make good reading. As you see, the stationery too has been nut to good "use. The aux. services Christmas T shall spend here. I am here keep us fairly well supplied but there are times when stocks are slow looking forward to seeing all the Seaforth folks again. MERNA SMITH.

' Dear Friends,—Your much ap- preciated parcel arrived and it was like a breath of Canada with its beautifully coloured maple leaf tucked in the card, the local paper for newsof my adopted home town, and poems by Mr. Beattie, All the goodies and personal gifts were very welcome and useful (especially the toothbrush 1). London lis looking a bit better these clays with some of the streets lit up, a bit dimly it's true. but one can get around most places now without the aid of a torch, It is it wonderful old city and a very brave one.
