The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1942-10-01, Page 4THE EXETER TIME^ADVOGATE* THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER M W parcels FROM war time ROAR'D ARE APPRECIATED England, Aug. 20, 1042 Exeter War Time Board: As the happy receiver of the very nice parcel you have sent me, I must thank you all very much. This is the second parcel I have received from you since I came across last fall, I am -Quite pleased to think of how you are helping to make all the lads as well as myself feel proud of you. You are certainly doing your part as well as we are. I received your parcel about a week ago, maybe a little better, and still have some of it left. It has taken me a little time to get around to writing and thanking you all, I will also send the card that came with the parcel. It sure makes me feel wonderful to receive your par* cels. Since I have received your first parcel we have moved twice. We were still in our winter billets when I got the first one. We moved then, to a swell big park. In the park we were in tents. It was a wonderful park. There were herds of deer running in the park which were ‘Quite tame. Then there were also wild ducks of all kinds and the big white swans. Aside from that they had peacocks there also. I managed to get a snapshot of the one. I got one photo of him with his lovely big tail fanned out and one with it straight. He was sure a beautiful bird. I really liked the place very much. Interesting Coiprtry About two weeks ago they moved us to another camp. We are still in tents, though. I like it still bet­ ter in our new camp. It is more or* less in bush. It is also on the side of a hill and they really have hills over here, too. The main road runs right past our camp which makes Answer, J. B.l CLASSIFIEDS Do you want office help? Are you in need of some furniture? Of course you should use the Classifieds! It’s a simple, quick inexpensive effective way to reach the greatest number of people in the shortest time with a convincing method. Rates are low, results are high. Insert that Classified Ad next week. it more lively, At the present I a'm sitting on the side of the hill just over the fence from my tent, to the valley around. You house-top stuck It is swell just around here. They mostly have their houses built in a clump of trees, in about the mid­ dle, where you can maybe see only the roof. It makes them look so quaint and comfortable, I can also see field after field, of grain cut and stocked up. There is some the grain not yet cut, though. Having Fine Time Oh, we cannot complain over here. We get fed pretty well and we get plenty of clothing and mostly a good place to sleep so we cannot kick, We have a swell time out of it, too. We get a seven-day leave every three months, I am just about du© for mine now. In fact, I be­ lieve I will be getting it the end of this month. As a yule I go to Manchester. It is a very nice place and I generally have a swell time. The people of Manchester are aw* fully nice people, too. I hear they ar© much nicer up in Scotland but I have not been up there yet. I generally share pretty well in getting mail over here, I have two sisters and five brothers who write to me quite often. I also have a lot of relatives who write. Sometimes it seems as though I will nevei' get caught up with my writing, but as a rule I do. though.We haveza great big N.A.A.F'.T. across the road which is a great help to us in passing our time. It does not seem like it, but it is ten months yesterday since I landed over here. It is very nice over here, too, but deep the war to be Canada again. I sure hope scribbling out the hillside and writing on my knee, There are two little Spitfires just crossed overhead, but we get so used to them we do not even hear them at times. Not Much Action Things are pretty quiet over here at the present, anyway. I do not I can see down, in* and see for miles can see the odd up out of the trees, of down you wish for over to get hack to not think it will really last ’.much longer, 1 have a feeling it is going to be all over one of these days, even before we know it. ' We are having a sports parade this afternoon and it is now almost dinner time so for this time I must say so-long and thanks once more for the swell parcel.

Ilderton at a cost of $7,* 500,00, To the question, “Do farmers need the Federation of Ag­ riculture?” Mr. Charlton replied, “Loes a man need a head?” A glow­ ing tribute to the honesty and integ­ rity of Mr. Charlton, manager, and his associates through the years, who helped largely to make possible the success of the Ilderton Farmers’ Co-operative, was given by Mr, Robb, president of the Middlesex Federation of Agriculture. Ilderton farmers began business in December, 1920. meeting, the year was paid An incorrigible offender request­ ed the magistrate to postpone his case as the lawyer due to defend him had been taken suddenly ill. “But,” the magistrate objected, “what dif­ ference can that make.

Following his’ address he cut a ribbon stretched across the entrance to number one runway and declared the Station open. This was the signal for Squadron Leader Gledhill to taxi his big bomber through the opening and on to num­ ber one runway from where he took off, circled the field and dropped a .parachute. Other Ansons took-«off and flew in formation over the landing field to the delight of everyone assembl­ ed, especially the youngsters, who really enjoyed the whole perform­ ance. Group Captain E. G. Fullerton then led a march past the reviewing stand, after which the crowd broke up into small groups pnd were off to investigate the many buildings.

A number of our students are English boys apd have recently left their homes in England to con­ tinue their training here in Can­ ada.

And for your comfort I would leave comrades cause for md over* this thought, * The joy- you had of me in child­ hood days, When in your arms I played, or cried, or prayed, (Those soft, sweet arms, can you or I forget?) Will still remain with you, when I am gone, It is so real now, that memory Not death itself can rob you Of your child.

This is a welcome donation, indeed and w© are very pleased to acknowledge it in this column. In London last week We dropped in to see Mr. Crouch, of the Lon­ don Public Library and he made us a presentation of fifty brand new volumes, We would like to say “thank you” to the members of the I.O.D.E. for the splendid work they are doing in collecting and repairing books all over 'Canada. Through their good work our library is rich­ er by some fifty volumes.
