THANKS FOR PARCELS Dear Editor, -Everybody, in Canada I know wants to win the War And they want to help their boys "Some- where in France." The newspapers, I feel sure, are no exception and the idea occurred to me that when the op- portunity to do so presents itself in an unusual way, in an appeal from "Out There," they are going to jump at the chance. , I want you to thank very gratefully- and sincerely through the columns of your paper, all the good, kind folks, relations and friends, who have sent me parcels of comforts, and good things s ce I left Canada-- I hate to think have" long. ago. Now it doesn't sound as though I was very grateful for them when I ask ;,you to do niy thanking for me, does; it? Well I am, but writing letters is one of the hardest things a soldier on active ser- vice has to do, because of the lack of time and facilities. Oh my intentions to write, .just as soon as possible, and thank -the sender of a parcel received -and I think I have received most, if not all of then!, and they all have been fine. Well, you know the saying about , what place good intentions pave. I don't, believe it applies under present conditions. Just when you ;area going to squat -down to write - often as not on your knee by the light of a candle stuck in the wall, you've got to start doing, something else. And so it goes until your pleasure at receiving a parcel is only a memory, along comes _ another and before long you're dismayed at all the letters you are behind. The thought of Christmas stirs up your gratitude anew, and so ,1 am .making an effort, with your help, to thank all my good kind friends and relations, whit have sent me parcels which I have never properly_ thanked them for, to do so now, to tell them I have received them and enjoyed them. You bet,. I enjoyed them; Merry Christmas folks, and a Happy New Year. -We are going strong and next Christmas, I am sure, will see Germany properly done in, and •we'll be home to unite' again around -those good old home fires you're keeping burning. • ° Thanking you all for your kind thoughts of me and for your generous gifts.
