LETTER FROM CROYDON, ENG. The following interesting letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wal­ ler, of Wroxeter, from his sister in Croydon, Eng, In an air raid shelter, taking cover 3, 10, ’40 Dear Harry and Kate: You see where I am by the aboVe. Yes, we seem to spend most of our time dodging in and out of these plac­ es, but in spite of it all we are still smiling. ... As soon as I get home at night I have to get my bed ready to go into my “Anderson Shelter.” We have been sleeping in it now for 5 or 6 weeks. It doesn’t give,me time to do anything. We usually come out about 6 a.m. { I have one of my pals living with me now, she was lodging in a house that has been bombed to the ground and has lost absolutely everything, fortunately she and her two landladies were in their shelter, but there was a father, mother and baby in a lower flat of the same house, sheltering un­ der the stairs. The father and baby are safe but the mother was killed. If you could see your home town you would weep for it. Last Saturday night and early Sunday morning we spent a rather uneasy time, fires all around us. “Gurney White’s” “Eb- butt’s” two houses in “Heathfield Rd.” all fired at the same time. Our A.R. P. are wonderful, the fires were got under in no time. I have been fortun­ ate up to the present, only had my sitting room window blown out. Ev­ ery night we wonder what is In store for us. I Come in and Talk Our Your Estate Problems With Us. The Grey & Bruce Trust & Savings Company Owen Sound safe. It is now over 12 months since I saw my pal San. Don’t worry about me 'if you don’t get many letters, no news will be good news. No doubt, if anything did hap­ pen to me you would hear very quickly, I'm afraid this letter is not very in­ teresting, but Jerry will not allow us to go sight-seeing, even so, he is far from breaking our spirits, everyone is very bright and ’cheerful. Now I think I must finish up and get’ some tea, wish you could all join us, although I think you are better off where you are. Cheerio! All the best to you all.

SATISFACTORY SALADS By Betty Barclay A satisfactory salad is one that may be prepared easily from foods on hand or easily obtainable; one that looks good; one that tastes good; one that is healthful; and one that is ec­ onomical. Here are two salad recipes, either of which will enable you to serve just this kind of salad: Luncheon Salad 2 cups cooked, dried Limas 2 tbsp, minced pimiento or sweet red pepper 4 hard-cooked eggs 2 % 2 2 2 2 1 1 Parliament Got Under Way Ottawa — Parliament was launched on a new session which promises to bring legislation strengthening the na­ tion’s war effort and drastically af­ fecting Dominion-Provincial relations.

These words are taken from what is commonly called “The Lord’s Prayer”. Would I be correct in' say­ ing that in the vast majority of lives they are associated with dark and bit­ ter experiences and gloomy resigna­ tion? For most of us the words recall unwelcome things, experiences we would like to forget: unhappy events, sorrows of heart that draw many tears. There was the nipping of the blossom in the spring-time, the crush­ ing out of “hopes” fondly conceived and cherished, the quick onrush of the winter blast as a flaw in charac­ ter suddenly revealed itself and brought disastrous results in its wake. But why should these words bring such memories only? Why only the memories of sorrow, tears and disast­ er? Surely there is another chain of association, another circlb of events, other experiences they bring back in­ to memory! It was the psalmist who said “I delight to do Thy Will.” He must have caught a glimpse of the brighter and joyful side of God’s will. Again, the psalmist who said “The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoic­ ing the heart” must have been think­ ing of the sunny seasons, and his heart must have been filled with rejoicing. If it be true that a song may begin with "Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint”’ it ;s also true that it may begin with “The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and all the upright in heart shall glory,” In these dark November days, dark not merely because the sky is full of clouds and the sun is not seen, but dark because of the'world shaking ev­ ents of the times, let its not forget our ...... ................ - „___Junes, the days when the stm was rid* hope I may be spared to see the fittish !ug high m the heavens and all was of ifT we just live from day. to day and bright and cheerful« Let the wedding* trust we may be guarded- and kept day be recalled as well as the funeral, Sunday, 12th, at 26 Heathfield Rd. You see how long I have been writ­ ing this to you. I’m sorry, but it can­ not be helped. Wc do not spend so much time during the day now in the shelters, we just carry on when there is a raid until 'the firing gets too heavy, then we just run until it ceas­ es. We don’t get a minute when we get home, more often than not wc have to take our supper out into the shelter and there we stay until morn­ ing. What a life, did you say — well, if we get nothing worse we will not grumble. Poor old Ede Nyc has been bomb­ ed out of her little cottage by the sea, when I heard from her last she was staying with a married brother. I’m expecting to hear again next week. She is like the rest, gets very little time for writing although she hag re­ tired. Aunt Em is here and seems very fit in spite of the worrying times. Wc have to get her home very early now in case she should get caught in a raid, “Moaning Minnie” (the siren) is just howling again, so I may have to finish this in the “Anderson.” I have had bunks fitted in it for sleeping and it is now quite comfortable. All ate safe and well at “Fundene” up to the ‘present, in spite of having bombs all around them, Wc have a lot of Canadian boys around here, I feel I want to ask them if they come from tmywhere near you,'but I real­ ize what a big country if is, so do not risk being laughed at.
