The County Council have, in the last few years, organized the distrib- ution of trees throughout the County. Dear Friends: Thanks very much Although many thousands have been for the 'Christmas parcel. I•t certain- planted, the need seems to be as ' � t helped to make Christmas a little appier. The maple leaf was a kind thought. This may surprise you. I still have one from the parcel you sent last Christmas Here's hoping before next Christmas may I have a chance to see a few of them growing. Thanks again for the yove- ly parcel and your thoughts and actions are certainly appreciated. Your friend, GLEN PINI(NEY Dear Friends: Just a few lines to let you know I received a lovely parcel from. youtoday and it , was sure appreciated. I only wish I could go back over the same route that it took to get here. My address has been changed several times since I was at the one that the parcel was originally sent to, but I have been rather fortunate in getting all the packages that have bee sent to me. I received one from onr church to- day too and it must have been the same mail bag for the whole trip over here, There isn't much I can tell you about what I am doing a' here but I can assure you that the Canadians an`en't taking a back seat from anyone and are all proud of what they have done. We are all hoping for the day when we will be home, but are also looking forward to seeing the "Jerry" well beaten. first. Well now, I must thank you again for the parcel and hope to be able to thank you in person before this year is over. Best regards to all the club. ANDY CALDER Dear Folks: Once ogre it is thank you for another Christmas parcel Just got it the other day as it 'went over to Italy and_here I ant back in. England. This time I'm heeded for Seaforth so don't be surprised if I pop in to see you sometime in February. It'll be grand to see all you people again and thank you personally for all your kindness in the past. Good old' Seaforth is like an elephant—it never forgets. Fellows kid me about coming from a small town but they don't know what they're missing in life—they can keep their big cities as far as I'm concerned and do great as ever. It is the desire of the committee to have at least half • a million trees planted throughout the County this year. In organizing this yea'r's distribu- tion, it was felt that the best reed- euni of placing trees was through the schools, The teachers have been asked to accept the orders for trees and the Council has agreed to deliver the trees direct from the car to the schools at no cost to any person so ordering. Any person desirous of pro- curing trees should get an application form from the teacher in your School Section. It has been arranged with the De- partment that individual orders of 500 or more trees will be„packed sep- arately and delivered to the schools the same as other orders. Tb.e teachers have been requested to have all orders in the hands of the Public School Inspectors by March 17 and the trees will be delivered at the most suitable time. Any person who may find it more convenient to place orders with the Agricultural Representative at Clin- ton or the County Clerk at Goderich, may do so, providing they are re- ceived not later than March 17. These orders will also be delivered to the Schopl Section with the other briers. A Butterfly In February — The groundhog on February 2nd saw his shadow and according to the legend this means six weeks more of cold weather. Last week we had brought into our office a butterfly, imagine, a butterfly in February - in this country. It was found by Mr. Fraser Haugh of Howick. It was as lively as could be and is still going strong as we write this article. It was found in the sta•a.-w in the horse stable.
