LETTERS FROM THE WEST
Verlo, Sas!:.
Dear lfr, hiller Mame.
:In answer to your note foundin a
sack of mixed vegetables, we as a fa-
mily of six wish to thank you, very;
very much for same; also the potatoes
arrived here in splendid coi'idition,
and such lovely potatoes, You ask
how we are going along, \Telt, that is
a hard thing to tell you. We just seen
to keep going along from day to day;
of course, we are all on relief here.
We have had no crop for 2 years, and
things do not look very good for next
year. We have only had one good
days rain all this year, and of caurse
are verybad her
el,
thegrasshoppersra
too, ,But J ant very thankful to tell
you we all have good health, As I
said, we are a -family of six, husband,
'four children and myself, A11 four
children go to school, ages from eld-
est r16, youngest 8 years; they have 3
miles to mvaik'to school.
I might tell you that there were
nearly '800 people here waiting anxi-
ously until that car of vegetables was
opened. Some were waiting before it
was daylight, some people came
more than 20 miles, but we all got a
hare, and were those people plea -sed!
The vegetables that carne have such
a lovely flavor. They taste just like
in the Old Country. We are "Elias'
i
by the way," trying to farts here
since 19110. Have never been off this
place. since every- year we say we'll
have better luck next year. The ap-
ples were divided anong the several
c.dr,iols in the Municipality, so all
the children got them. Of course,
they bring one home for Father and
Mother.'I trust you people are all well
and thanking you all very, very
much, I remain,
Your very sincerely,
Mrs. Jos, Peters.
IPS. --We will be pleased to hear
from you all the time.
Vella, Sask, Nov. 27, 1934.
Dear Miss Evelyn Shade.
S• passed your mitten's along to a
woman that needed then, but in
case she doesn't write, I'm just drop-
ping a line to thank you and all the
others that so generously donated
things. _About 915 per cent of the peo-
ple in this municipality are on relief::
of course, .that doesn't give a very fat
living and the cars of vegetables dis-
tributed throughont the '\Vest certain-
ly- help. The car front Seaforth caste
to Hazlet and from there was given
out to about two hundred and some
families. The clothing was divided
into parcels and sent to the different
districts, I might mention here that
warts coats of any description are in
great demand.
This is our second poor year, and
I imagine we aren't nearly so badly
off as the people to the South and
East 91 us. They are on their fifth
poor year.
S often wonder if good times ever
conte again, will it teach the people a
essems on saving for a rainy day. The
\Vest has made money bat never
learned how to save a little,
Jf you know Mrs, Leo Stephenson,
tell her 'I passed her shoes on to a
little woman. I'1 they didn't fit she
was to return them, to be given to
some one else, so she will likely hear
from her.
1I came from Ontario years ago and
know what conditions are there for
the working classes, so that I know
they sacrifice to send those cars to..
the West, and I hope everyone ap-
preciates the giving as much as I do.
Mrs. Harry Charman.
