There was no food on the tables and very little clothing to spare. Many tears were shed for lost families, neighbors and friends. But there was a new joy in most hearts and, at last, hope for the future...and above all gratitude to the Canadian soldiers who had liberated Holland. The Canadian boys had lost many comrades in their battle for the freedom of Holland. Apeldoorn, in the province of Gelderland in eastern Holland, was liberated on April 19, 1945. After five black years of war the survivors celebrated by welcoming the Canadians into their homes. Holland has been reborn out of the ruins of 40 years ago. Bombed cities, broken bridges and devastated families have been rebuilt and re -united into an economically -healthy country. The hopses are clean, there is plenty to eat and drink...and there always is room for a guest. Now, 40 years later, the cities of Apeldoorn, Nijmegen, Deventer and Groningen have invited the Canadian veterans back to Holland to commemorate Bevrijding (Liberation) 1945. Hundreds of Dutch 'families have responded to local newspaper requests to provide bed and breakfast for the Canadian veterans who are expected to visit Dutch friends between April 28 and May 8. Busses will be wating at Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) when the visitors arrive. Music will greet them at the various ' iti..Q where host families will take the veterans to their homes. Over a 10 -day .period the veterans and their friends will attend numerous events. On April 30, the birthday of former Queen Juliana will be celebrated. Local festivities to mark Liberation Day will take place throughout the country. Three days later, on May 3, the Canadian am- bassador will open an ex- position called "Here Come the Canadians", com- memorating the arrival of the Canadians during World War II. Besides'all of the planned celebrations there also will be time to remember war victims. Cemeteries in Groesbeek and Holten, where Canadians left fallen comrades, will be the scene of memorial services. Here lie the Canadians who fought for the freedom of Holland. THE COMPUTER CLASS at last Wednesday's North Huron Science Fair produced three winners.

Senior public school students from the northern half of Huron County competed at last week's fair and the winners will go on to the county -wide fair this week in Exeter. CO.OP who shared their chocolate, canned beef and cigarettes with the needy. 0-0-0 I served with the Perth Regiment during the war for more than five years, and the Perths have a very close relationship with the Netherlands. After the regiment left its "Perths' Barracks" in Stratford m 1940 for guard duty at Niagara Falls, the Perth Barracks was taken over by the Netherlands troops. Ili 1940 the Dutch royal family, along with -many citizens and military people, managed to escape ahead off the German occupation forces and fled to England and other points of refuge. In 1941 it was decided to regroup the Netherlands army in Canada for further training. Once the Dutch troops were installed in Stratford the building became known as the "Juliana Barracks", after Princess Juliana, who was living in Ottawa and later became Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. The future queen made several visits to Stratford during the war years. Although the Dutch troops were stationed in Stratford for only about two years many close friendships developed between Netherlands soldiers and airmen and the people of Stratford. Several of the Dutch troops married Stratford girls. Last year Antom Ruige brought his wife, Amaryke, from Holland to see where he had been 42 years ago. He trained with the Royal Netherlands Military Flying School and was stationed with the Princess Irene Brigade in 1942. After the war Mr. Ruige became chief pilot for K, L, M., Dutch Royal Airlines, one of the largest public air carriers in the world. He now is retired. At the end of April about 100 Perth Regiment veterans will be leaving for Holland and I will join them for the celebrations.
