The Seaforth News, 1945-09-20, Page 5THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 1945 THE SEAFORTH NEWS HENSALL Overseas Letters Dear Gladys: Just a few lines to let you know that I have been re- ceiving your parcels and letters O.K. and want to thank you for sending them. It is almost impossible to tell you how much I enjoy the letter's with some of the latest news from home in. them. Mail I think means more to most of us over here than almost anything else other than getting home. Everyone of the par- cels you sent arrived in perfect con- dition and T enjoyed everything that was in them. I do not know when I will be getting hone to see all you people as I am now working in the returned stores of the Y.M.C.A. and may have to stay here for some time yet.

Dear Gladys: I received your let- ter yesterday after my return from a trip to Czechoslovakia. I was one of about 1500 men who drove trucks there to be turned over to the Gov't. It was a good trip. Germany is a lovely country and the auto- bahns we travelled on show it off to advantage. We stopped over- night at Cologne, Frankfurt, and Nuremburg in Germany, and Pilarn in Czechoslovakia. Those formerly lovely German cities are now noth- ing but rubbish. Hardly a building that hasn't been ruined: Most are completely demolished. The people are experiencing in -a slightly milder form the hunger and tortures they caused to others. So many of the fellows are home now, Sure wish I Were. There are some nice people here bat you can't beat home. Pm afraid I'll be here until next spring sometime. I'rri in the 4511 division and since they will be the last to go home it will no doubt be a long time yet. I'm afraid 1 have no more to say, so good-bye and good health to you -all. JACK BELL.

Very encouraging after over 4 years and 2 months overseas service. I have a good place right 'on the main street of a nice village and still pleni'sy of equip- ment. A few days ago the orderly officer and the quarter sergant had an inspection of my quarters and took away nearly half a truck load of valuable stock. They also re- lieved me of nine good blankets. They claimed I had more stock than the stores had. They also moved out about 20 pairs of boots. I still have my bicycle and radio. I was glad to hear that several of the Hensall boys are home again. I do hope to make it before Xmas perhaps sooner. We have a pretty good time in a way. Always two pictures a week and •last week we had a concert party here which was very good. It was an all Dutch caste sponsored by Canadian War Services. So far I have managed to get down to Belgium about once in every four weeks for a few days. It is about 300 miles, a long ride.

The guest speaker was Mrs. J. G. Inkster of Toronto, president of the W.M.S. western division. She stated that it was a hundred years since Canada first showed an interest in missions, and sixty years since Dr. John Geddie went as the first mis- sionary from the Presbyterian Church. Since then conditions have changed in many ways, but the world is still in need of the Gospel of Jesns Christ. The speaker told of the quicken- ing of spiritual life in Great Brit- ain during the war, and of large numbers of young people preparing themselves for Christian leadership. She spoke also of the experiences of servicemen in the Pacific, and in countries where the missionaries have been working; these boys have a new conception of the value of missions. , eIf the W.M,S. is to do its part 1n the days that lie ahead, we must rededicate ourselves to the Master's service, and be willing to go where He leads."
