' “Portraits with Soul”
Our lakes this summer are
going to attract thousands of
friendly visitors from the States.
We want them to enjoy them
selves ... it’s in our own interest
to see they get the very finest of
everything we can give them.

Ontario profits almost
as much from tourist
business as from gold
mining. It’s up to each
of us to keep this busi

The following letter was received
by Mr. Ernest Harris, of S.S. No.
3, 'Osborne, from Assen. in the
Netherlands from a pen pal.
Assen, June 28, Sunday.
Dear Ernest:
Last week I received your letter,
It was very fine to receive so many
letters from Canada. Indeed. I say
letters, for together with yours I
got 85 letters more. ,And therefore
I answer your letter in this way.
Now I am going to tell you
something about Assen. Our native
town has about 25,000' inhabitants;
there are about 10 schools and 8
churches, There ,are also many
shops, etc., so that there are many
merchants ap'd tradesmen among
the inhabitants. In the outskirts of
Assen there are not many shops of
course. We live in the Eastern
part of the town. The surroundings
of Assen ' " ' ' .
there is much wood and heath
(perhaps you call it moorland).
Along the roads outside Assen
there are farmhouses with meadows
and fields. And now ’back to our
house .again.
My ' family consists
and Mother, my sister
years old), then I
are indeed beautiful;
of Father
Eddie (16 0 follow
brothers Roelf (13 years),
(10 years) and John (5
Properly speaking there is also a
fine German dog
Which belongs to
brother Roelf hag
rabbits with young ones. My Father
deals in soft ware; he is a draper,
but he also sells furniture.
Anci now for myself. My hobbies
are swimming and running. I am
a boy scout, too, and
guitar.
Now I’ll tell you
about the liberation of
1945. We had heard the thunder
of the guns already for* two days.
Planes dived down all the day and
damaged or crushed all German
motor-cars, trains, etc., Thursday,
the 12th of April 1945. The noise
of the guns grows worse and worse.
The fight came quite close now
and we passed the night in the
cellar. The worst moment was be
tween 2 and 3 o’clock. A shell came
down at the back of our house and
one close in front of it. The shell
fragments lay in our living-room.
At half past six the first jeep
drove through our street. You can
understand how very glad we were.
And' how delicious the first Ameri
can cigaret was! Some minutes
later the first tanks, kerry’s and
cars drove into our town. Quick
at ease the Canadians washed and
then part of them drove on to
Groningen. In the meantime the
public buildings had been searched
and the Germans captured. Now it
was the time of the traitors who
had assisted the 'Germans. They
were fetched out of their houses
and had to walk with their hands
up through the streets of Assen,
where they were hooted at by the
people. It was not long before they
had all their hair cut off. Some
days afterwawrds the liberation
was celebrated by splendid festivi
ties.
• Well, I am going to finish now.
Later I’ll tell you what happened
during the war in opr country, Of
our sufferings and oui” under
ground struggle.. In oui* town not
many houses were damaged. Only 4
were burnt down.
The kindest regards from your
pen-pal
