Ocintimted From rase 1
somewhere, Germans nae now real-
izing the terrors of their own hands
—total war—and it is being dished
back to them tenfold, We hear •that
our American .friends to the south
are doing very well too and no doubt
the Russians are Working) along, It
is just a little hard for ue to knOW
what is going on everywhere else
when we are continuously moving
ourselves. There seem to be a lot of
nice German homes and the farm
buildings are tidy and clean. The
amazing thing is that the house and
halm 's all one and it is amazing how
thrifty they look. Of course, the
Germans should be well off, they've
been living on the fat of Europe for
well over four years. Joan has been
telling me about the terrific winter
you have had. Europe had one of its
heaviest winters this year too but
actually all it amounted to WES four
or five inches of snow in Belgium or
Rolland. It did get bitterly cold at
times though. Again many thanks
for all your kindnesses and good lock
to all. BOB HAMILTON.
Dear Mrs, Bennett: Received your

it doubly good. Man! the contents
did go fast but you know me—I had
my share. Reading the notes, I knew
yours before I saw your name at the
bottom, noticing that you haven't
changed --always a good humored•
joke and cheer. Well, I am writing
this in a woods, things are quiet and
the sun is very warm. This is 0 swell
country and we all enjoy it. I sup-
pose thine are quiet around home,

thanks a million. It ie nice to get
things from home and we appreciate
being remembered. Hope the war
will soon be over. I am writing this
well in Germany. In fact I am sitting
on a bed in a Jerry house, never
thought one time I would be sleep-
ing in a bed in Germany. The wea-
ther is real nice here. Great weather
for the air force and they are really
going to town in a big, way. 1 have
been back over here just over a
month and was glad to get back
with the boys again. I had a good
long rest in Blighty from last Aug-
ust. I guess the weather over there
will be getting nice by this time.
Soon be seeding time again. The
trees are starting to get green here
and flowers are coming out, where
they aren't bombed out. Thanks
again for the parcel. A. E. CRAW -

heen informed by Mr. and Mrs. Wilt

very nice parcel from the ladies of i

pleased anti wish to express my sin-
cere thanks to all. It arrived in very
good condition and I appreciate
everything I receive. At 'present I

here, The weather was very nice but
looks like ram the last couple of
days. 1 am the very best myself and
hope everyone around Walton is too.
Thanks once again to all. ALVIN .

Dear Mrs, Bennett: You folks'
lovely parcel received and many
thanks. Well we are back in friendly
Holland again after a month on
German soil. Although for me I saw
nothing much different except ruins.
We were in one farm liouse and the
people tele quite meek and behaved
well, but they sure have had the war
brought to their door with a ven-
geance. Cleve is quite a large city
and I doubt if a building came. out
unseathed. Many are just a pile of
rubble. We lived in a cellar there for
two weeks and made ourselves quite
comfy. They have a fuel preseedin-
to bricks, resembles peat, it burns
clean and hot and we had plenty of
stuff to pick from so rigged ourselves
up. We enjoyed especially jars of
canned cherries we found m the cel-
lars. In the fields many cattle and
horses have been killed by shellfire.
They have quite a lot of pigs and
Holstein cattle. But no sign of trac-
tors, hut have utilized Hydro to its
best. Each farm seemed to have its
own threshing. machine, a small pri-
mitive affair in comparison to ours,
',at capable of good clean work, at
r,rrible slow pace. The barns are
all brick. all low rambling affairs
and a lot of roof and waste space
.enmared with ours. As we came
'k here the land is drying and
some are started seeding. It's sur -
it i:4141' the amount of new houses
bring; huilt and they have cleaned
the places up in good style. Have
he,:.0 enjoying a few shows here. So
thanks again, WALLACE SHAN-
NON. March 20th.

the SHOUT
THAT BECAME A WHISPER...
We've looked forward a long time to celebrating
the installation of our millionth telephone. Now
the great day has come and gone, with only
a brief press notice to mark its passing. There are
more important things to do just now, Besides, we
won't be really happy until we can take care of every
one of the more than 70,000 further applicants
who today are waiting fin- telephones..

It may surprise you that 215,000 more Bell
telephones are in service now than when
war began. With telephone manufacturers
practically 100% on war orders, how was
it clone?
First, by using up all our reserve stock. And
second, by making maximum use of recon-
ditioned equipment. We have thus been
able to meet—fully and on time—every
essential war demand for telephone service.
Only materials left over after these needs
are met can be usedto look after our
"waiting list".
These unfilled orders are our constant
concern. They involve much more than
installing telephone sets. The job calls for
additional wire, and cable, and intricate
exchange apparatus, and all the other
elements of a complete telephone system.
And this, in turn, is just one part of the
whole construction program we will under-
take once men and materials are. available.
It means lots of work ahead not only for
every present Bell employee, whether
at home or in the services, but For
additional workers, too.
