THE SNOW
Oh! Here it comes that dreadful snow,
When east and northern winds do
blow;
Oh! Watch is snow and then you
think,
It just fills in our skating rink.
The fields are full of horrid snow,
still the winds won’t cease to
blow;
You put on all your warmer clothes.
And then you’re cold down to your
toes.
But
storms and blows and makes it
hard,
To even walk through your own yard,
But Ohl Just wait till springtime
comes,
Then you’ll be having loads of fun.

GIBBONS—On Thursday, March 7.
to Mr. and Mrs. James Gibbons, of
Wingham, (ncc Patricia Desmond,
The following will be of interest to
people in this district, it contains ex
tracts from letters received by Mr.
and Mrs. Matt Bell from their sons,
Matt and Andy, who are with the C.
A. S. F. in England’. Matt is with the
Canadian Divisional Signallers and
Andy is with the Mechanical Trans
port.
Queen Spoke to Andy
Andy in a letter from the Beaver
Club. London, says: "Well, here I am
in London, and what a great time we
are having. We were here when the
King and Queen opened our club and
you can imagine my surprise when
the Queen came up to me and asked
how I Liked it over here, and when
we came Over. She sure is a wonder
ful lady, nothing put on. You may see
my name in the Toronto Star as the
Canadian Press took my name.' We
also had our picture taken in the
shower and writing rodm so don’t be
surprised if you see my picture in the
nude. We have tickets to aify shows,
dances and hockey matches. I thought
Toronto Was big but it .is nothing
compared to London, half the time
when you are riding a trolley you are
underground.”
Brother Met By Accident
Matt says in a letter to his parents
that "After the third contingent ar
rived I walked down to headquarters
to see if they knew anything of Andy
there but they were npt sure. I was
coming back to camp and who should
I meet but Andy. They had come in
Friday night and were stationed at
Woking, about 18 miles from here
(Aidershot),”
Matt was one of a group 'of 1st
Canadian Divisional Signals, that as
sisted repairing the Southern Railway
Lines after a severe storm had done
considerable damage. The Aidershot
paper made quite a write-up about
this help and’ Matt’s name appeared as

men of Mr. Deachman’s' calibre will be strong to

one of the willing Canadian helpers.
In another letter written toward the
end of February, Matt tells of the
weather. "We are having wonderful
weather here this last week, every
thing green, just like April at home.”
Andrew Tells of Crossing
"The boat we came over on was the
Aquatania.” Andy says in another let
ter which he wrote before his trip to
London, "It is the largest thing I ever
saw afloat. Just like the Royal York
but a little more crowded, ball-rooms,
movie shows, swimming pool, even a
cocktail bar. The convoy sure looked
pretty leaving. the harbour. ThereThey claim here that- they have had
were five troop ships and seven battle
ships. About two days out of England
we picked up fifteen more battleships.
We were fourteen days on the boat
and were all glad to get back on land
again.”
Speaking of the camp, he says “We
are living in army homes, twelve men
to a home. They have not stoves, just
fire-places. I went over to Aidershot
and put in the day with Matt. He
sure looked good and is getting along
fine. We went to a show and had tea.
(Andy underlined the word “tea”).
the coldest weather in a hundred years
but it’s very mild compared to our
country.” .
Both boys asked how Ray’s hockey
team (the Bantams) made out. We
are sure if they had seen the game
with St. George they would have got
ten a great kick out of it.
That the boys think often of home
is made very evident by the fact that
they write home every week and their
letters are full of homey inquiries and
felicitations for the younger members
of the family.
