Dear Mum:
I . have now received two lett
from youlteso I thought I would a
ewer there; It is really nice wh
the letters keep coming every da
as it is about the only way o
landlady can get us awake in t
morning. The mail comes at abo
eight o'clock;and as soon as s
hollers about the letters, we
jump. I have received mail fro
folks in Goderich and from som
of the kids I know in London.
got a letter from a Mrs. Penne
in Auchterarder, wondering if
am related to her, She wants t
know if I'm from Winnipeg, so
think I'll write her and tell tie
I'm the guy. I'll let you know wha
happens in my next letter"
We played two exhibition game
at the start to kind of line up th
teams, and as I think I told you
we won one and lost one. W
played the first game of the ache
dole on Wednesday, 29th, and los
by a score of 6 to 4. I got two
assists. This game was played in
Falkirk, and I forgot to ask about
Jim Cameron. We played the sec-
ond game in Perth last night
agaist Fife 'Flyers from Kircaldy,
and we went down to the tune of
a 7 to 3 defeat. I got a goal and
an assist, and all my teeth knock
ed loose. By the way, I've played
four games and each game I've
got a stick in the mouth or the
eye.
You were asking how they work
the schedule• over here, so I'll tell
you right how it's a phoney way.
First we play a 12 -game series
which is called "The Autumn Cup."
Then we play a 36 -game schedule
which is called the "National Cup."
The winner of this cup gets to
play off with England, and gets to
pray some games in 'France or
Switzerland, so we are going to
try for it. Our coach isn't working
us too hard because he doesn't
want us to go stale, so we will
all be in good shape for the '"Na-
tional 'League."
We finish the season off with a
24, -game schedule, called the "Scot-
tish Cup." After that we are on
our way home.
If it isn't asking too much, 1
would like you to send me a box
of stuff over. The thre guys I am
staying with brought over a whole
bunch of stuff and I've been help-
ing them eat it. If I .don't get
something to repay them, I'll feel
kind of guilty. I'll make it up to
you when I get home. I h
Could you send me some chew-
ing gum, some spork or Klick, or
senke hind of 'canoed neat, pork
and 'beans, • aid please send some
mOple sya'wp and honey.' 'Mere is
some home-nnide soap here, .but I'll
be glad if you could send se some
toilet soap. If you can get any
chocolate bars or chocolates, they
would be .appreciated. Whe you
ednd this in a box, be sure and
wrap it with cloth and aew all the
seams. This way the Customs m
not open it.
Can't think of much more to say, �
so I will close for now. I'm send-
ing some cards and a souvenir of
Scotland by ordinary mail" Love.
KEN
P.S.—I've got a girl friend, and
is' she ever cute! And I get bacon
and eggs every' time I go to her
house.

Corn Hybrids
In the Making
An intensive program of selec-
tion, inbreeding and cross -breeding,
of corn is carried, on annually at
the Dominion Experimental Sta-
tion at Harrow, Ont.,'with the sole
object of producing superior hy-
brids that will be adapted to the
various soil and climatic areas of
Ontario. Indeed, "Corn Hybrids in
the Making," is a true expression
of the activities at the Harrow Sta-
tion .each July and August, says G.
F. H. Buckley, Senior Assistant in
forage crop work.
The breeding program consists
of isolating inbred lines and com-
,bining them into successful hy-
brids. This involves four major
steps: the establishment of inbred
lines; the making of single cross-
es; 'the making of double-crosses;
and the thorough testing' of the
double-crosses.
Inbred lines are extracted from
open -pollinated varieties or strains
and also from single and double
cross material. Selected plants are
inbred and the new lines are self -
pollinated for .five or six genera-
tions after which time they become
practically stable. During this
stabilizing period rigid selection
and testing is carried on so that
only the best inbred lines survive
for .cross purposes"
Therstable inbred lines are plat-•
ed in groups of nine or ten and all
possible single -cross, combinations
are made within each group. The
single -crosses are then thoroughly
tested and only the best are used
in: making the double-cross hy-
brids.
The third step is the making of

Memorial Hospital
Building Fund Campaign to Raise
S25/1Q0
Opens MONDAY,OCTOBER 18th, and Continues for Two Weeks
WHY THE CAMPAIGN ?
During the progress of the construction of a 26 -bed addition in
1947 (for which necessary financing had been arranged), the
Department of Health informed the Board that additional altera-
tions and improvements to the existing building must be carried
out. The Board agreed that the changes proposed by the Depart-
ment (including provision of fire exits, improved elevator service,
standby heating unit, and elimination of ramp on the second floor)
were desirable, but that until funds were in sight to carry out the
work, no action would be taken.
The Board realizes the urgency of completing the alterations
if the service rendered the people of this district is not to be im-
paired. For this reason then, the decision to ask the citizens of
the district for theft- support in a campaign to provide funds for
the work was decided on.
WHAT OUR HOSPITAL MEANS TO THE DISTRICT
Many district citizens are inclined to take their Hospital for
granted — as being something that is in Seaforth if at any time
they happen to need the life-saving benefits of such an institu-
ition. Not so the 881 persons that received treatment at Scott
Memorial Hospital last year! To them the Hospital is more than
a building — it is a place that was responsible in no small measure
in the recovery of their health.
Each year an increasing number of citizens call on the Hos-
pital for service, making necessary improved and increased facili-
ties. In 1936, for instance, the number of patient days totalled
4,983. In 1947 this had risen to 9,284. During the same period
patients treated rose from 570 to 881, and births increased from
60 to 191.
Hospitals never make money, and so when alterations or
improvements are needed outside financial assistance becomes
necessary. It is for this reason and to ensure that Scott Mem-
orial Hospital will in the future be able to provide the citizens of
the district with modern hospital care that the present appeal is
being made.
