Publisher, ' WALTON' 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.

Thanks once again to all. ALVIN . NICHOL. 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.

W:1VIorley, Pres, Clark Fisher, Sec'y 0 0 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.. naL 11 llllllllllllll ,t8 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. H. H.
