Legge), The Canadian GoverII neat has ta- ken over the financing of all the war services with the exception of the Red Cross which the international convention stipulates must be entire- ly free of government control. This step has relieved the country from a multiplicity of campaigns for funds but it has also taken away some of the personal contact which the pub- lic previously heti with these ser- vices. They are,however, a very import- ant part of the soldiers' life when away from home and they formed an. interesting part of the Canadian Ed - hors' investigations while in Eng- land, Each one of them makes a special effort to minister to the needs of the man on active service when travell- ing or on leave. They provide many services to sten who are visiting in London, and we were shown over some of the places where these ser- vices are provided. The first one we visited was a Canadian Legion hostel, which is lo- cated in a building originally con- structed for girls' club,( but which had never been used before being taken over by the Canadian Legion. This hostel, one of many operated by the Canadian Legion, is able to ac- commodate 1500 men, and facilities are provided for. them to wash and iron their clothes while there without cost, Bed and breakfast costs three shillings, and this is about the aver- age price at the many hostels operat- ed by the various services. We next called at a Salvation Ar- my hostel which is located in a for- mer hotel, and which has 358 beds. Among the names on the register at this hotel were Corpl. M. E. •Carr, of New Liskeard, Ont., L. B. Mullin and H. Sovereign,Waterford, Ont. The Salvation Army, or Sally Ann as it is frequently called, has a very special place in the hearts of the troops we were told. When we asked why, our informant could not 'give any special reason, except that they always.seemed to be there when needed. The Leinster Club was the hostel operated by the Y.M.C.A. which we 'visited and this also is in what was formerly a residential hotel. We were shown through by Captain W. I G. MacDiarmid, and Capt. McMur- trie, .a brother of Dr. 1ylcMurtrie of Montreal. Mr. and Mrs. George,, who own the building, manage the club for the Y.M.C.A. Fifty-five cents is the charge for bed and breakfast. Still another former hotel, which is now operated by the Knights of Columbus, was the next hostel to be visited and here Capt. E. McDonald, of Edmonton escorted the editors through the building. One of the features of this hostel is the fine food canteen, IIt is the fourth hostel in London operated by the IC. of C. and fifth was going to be opened shortly, so we were informed. The Maple Leaf Club, operated by the Canadian Red Cross was another hostel visited and here some names on the register included Sam. Sauv- ageau, Shawinigan Palls, Que., and Cpl. A. D. Taylor, of Huntingdon, other clubs we visited in that it is permanent service mons' club Navin been first opened in 1907, and ove ated continuously ever since, and i is for all service -men of the entir Erpil'e, It is the largest one that w saw and has been visited by ove one hundred thousand Canadian sold Viers since the outbreak of the wa It has many recreation rooms no found in other clubs and meals ar served there at all hours of the d and night, One feature of this club is a hug memorial covering the wall of a "ion hall on which is inscribed the nam of every one who has ever bee awarded .the Victoria Cross. Ther are many other memorials, oneo which bears the intriguing words "In gratitude for a scrap of . com fort," The ,Union Jack was erected •by public subscription as a national nie- morial to sailors, soldiers and mar- ines who have died in the service of their ,country. Its object was to pro- vide a club -house including bed rooms, for the use and benefit of those serving on the active list below the commissioned rank. Each editor was given a copy of the club calendar, a book of 112 pages listing important events of history, a guide to the chief places of .interest, lists of churches, hospi- tals, theatres, etc., and much other useful information including a map of the London. Underground Rail:,. ways, the whole forming a valuable pocket book of information. Another club visited was the Bea- ver Club which is probably visited by more Canadians than any other. The building suffered some damage in a VIM, but repairs were almost com- pleted when we were there. Not far from the Beaver Club is the Canadian Officers Club, which receives a great deal of help' from Mrs. Vincent Massey, the wife of Canada's High Commissioner, and we found her busy serving soup there when we visited the club. Here we .met PO E. L. Stovill of Timmins and NO J. R. Mowbray of Oshawa, who were expecting to go to the Near East soon after we were there. Names noticed on the register in - eluded Capt. R. W. G. Hughes, , of Owen Sound, PO W. B. Fee, of Swift Current, Lieut. C. G. Goff, , 'of Sherbrooke, PO M. F. Ward of I{ent- ville, N.S., and Capt. Larry Audrey. of Winnipeg. Excellent meals at low rices are served in all these places and the hostels also have very nice rooms. The men on leave can find in them accommodation equal if not superior to most of the hotels at a great sav- ing in cost. The way that these "ser- vices are appreciated is shown by the way that these clubs and hostels are crowded all the time. There was one criticism which we. heard and that is that Canadians are unable to buy Canadian cigarettes over there. The NAAFI. canteens which serve. the camps carry only English cigarettes which do not seem to be popular with the Canadians. The complaint is that while Ameri- can soldiers can buy American cigar- ettes in their regimental canteens to the extent of one carton a week, Canadians can only buy English cig- arettes in the NAAFI. canteens. The Canadians however profit by the better arrangement for sending Canadian cigarettes overseas at, a much better price than prevails in other countries, and if the sale of Canadian cigarettes in the canteens would stop the sending of cigarettes at' the 300 for one dollar price, they would probably prefer to keep the status quo. The larger camps are given won- derful entertainment by the NAAFL T.N.S.A. which bring troupes of London stars to the camp theatres. As a sample of these shows we were taken to the ENSA theatre at Alder- shot. Admission was limited to Wren in uniform and the show was an ex- ceptionally high class and clever re- vue. Thousands attend these theatres each week. All these services do their part in keeping the. Canadian troops in ex- cellent spirits. u g r 0 e, was t e ay e g• e n e f, Then there is the story gf the hir- ed man from the city who recently started work on a farm. He sat on the milk stool ready to begin milking, while the cow drank milk out of a'pail. "Why are you letting her drink it?" the farmer asked. 'Well, the milk seemed low in butterfat, so I am putting it through a second time," he replied. A dignified Briton was taking, home a pair of his wife's shoes after having them repaired, No box or pa- per was, of course, supplied owing to war restrictions, so he, slightly em- barrassed, was carrying them loose: A man opposite him ill the bus watched hili closely :and said as lie got out, "Not going to let her gad about—eh, guv'nor?"
