Therefore we will show you our city as the Mieiny has left it, battered and damaged, but still dear to us in its own quiet loveliness. We cannot re- frain from. leading yoti to the holy places, where our brothers and friends have been shot down by the ruthless enemy you and we have fought so obstinately. We will also show you our children, crying with hunger, and our women and Hien, who have been starving all through these long hard winter months. Your American and British comrades have already brought relief in our dire need. They dropped the food we needed so sorely. It carte down from heaven as the manna for the children of Israel in the desert. Often we bad seen and heard the great planes passing over our country, going to fight the enemy.

Soldiers of the allied armies, we want you to know that you are welcome in our beloved Amsterdam, that you are welcome in otu• homes and at our table.

Most of you are Canadians: Well, we want to thank you especial- ly for the kind hospitality your coun- try has shown to our Royal Princess and her three beloved daughters. One of then has been born on the soil of your country and we will never forget the friendship the Royal Fancily enjoyed amidst your people. We will point out on the map this tar -away land to our children and grand- children. telling them the story of butalso i • nd hardships, 't a n. • life tit s our st g of our deliverance and gladness. May the friendship between your people and ours last for many, many gener- ations. The above was published in one •of the papers of the freedom press in Holland, which carried ort in spite of German attempts at suppression. The enemy regarded the efforts of the underground press as of the great- est importance and stopped at nothing to try to stamp them out. The Amster- dam paper published the following comment: "This paper during the occupation has, with other underground diapers. kept the spirit of resistance against the German going. It has especially fought against nazitication, against the endeavours of the Germans to destroy our Christian culture by their pagan doctrine and satanic practices. So as to give you an insight into how a great part of our people feels this freedom, which to -day you are bring- ing us, we offer you this edition of our paper, written In your native language." Wm.

THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1945 A TOM is in the pick , ,. DICK has retired IARET will go places Tom knows something about stormy weather, but he feels in the pink and his mind is at ease because his life insurance, which protects his loved ones, has weathered the strains of war and epidemics. The reserves behind his policies are regulated by Law and so stand guard that even in times of the gravest stress he knows he is secure. Dick knew nothing about life insurance reserves when he took on his first policy as a young man. But now that he has retired, he knows that the security he enjoys comes largely from the monthly income provided from his insurance—protested by reserves accumulated from his past premium payments Harry is an up-and-coming fellow who needs only opportunity to make good. He may not know it, but his own life insurance and the premiums of several million others will keep providing him and others with opportunities for years to come. Life insurance funds are invested in undertakings from coast to coast that provide employment for multitudes of people. * * sit• * LET NO ONE MISLEAD YOU! Life Insurance policy reserves represent premium dollars accumulated at interest for policyholders by life insurance companies asthe necessary provision against the day when policies become claims by death, maturity or surrender. Let no one mislead you about the nature of these funds. They are NOT "surplus funds" nor do they represent "profits" in any sense of the word. Policy reserves are the exact mea- sure of the total funds which must be held for policyholders, to be paid to them when due. • It is good citizenship to own LIE INSURANCE A Message from the Life Insurance Companies in Canada L-a8c 14I1, Carmel. ht ttas Mont in Clinton, where As a young man he was interested Ferris—Chambers • Ile sp,.nt Inc early life and attended in cricket and was a member of the A public school co ltleei rtr e, His Clinton C ricket Club.prett spring weddingwas sol- „ tt xav� Surviving are daughters, rs Mrs. emnized in St. Paul's 'United hutchc tinih, ptrdcnts,d hint in 1-0.

LETTERS FROM OVERSEAS • RECEIVED BY LEGION Continued From Pella One cool the temperature down for three months. We all have hopes that by the end of the year, we'll be pull- ing out of India, and going home. It sure would be great to walk down main street in Seaforth again. Thanks again for the cigs. So -long for now. Lac HILDEBRAND, R.C. A.F., India. May 10. Dear Mr, Sproat: Today T received a second carton of cigarettes sent from the Legion through you anti I'd like to just say "thanks" because they sure are appreciated. As it. hap- pened P only had two pkgs, left so that in a little over a days time 1 would have had to smoke "wood - bones" I have never been able to smoke and enjoy English cigarettes of any description so I slue hate to have to start on theta at. all. Only once, since coating. overseas, T was out of Cannck cigs for about throe. weeks, but after that I've been O.K. The first carton you sent had no re- turn address except Can. Legion, so I wasn't sure just who to write to, This is our first day oi' quietness and it sure Is a swell change front the way we've been working lately. I left England last summer and have been on the continent ever since., Have been in Germany not for quite a while, crossing the Rhine not ninny days after the Army. There is some really swell country here, farming land that couldn't be beaten tuly- where. As for the cities and towns, you would have to see them to be - believe any city could be laid so flat. We are having swell weather here now, very much like May et Bone only, I believe a bit warmer. Before ,. closing, thanks once more for the 'cigarettes and 1 hope I'm back in .Seaforthbefore too many months have gone by. CII'ESTER McNAY.

R U i YES, and the' right to go fishin' , the right to enjoy the simple, pleasant things of life! Picnics by the river----week-end trips in the old family jalopy—these are some of the things that your boy is fighting for today! And he won't be able to enjoy those things, unless we at home fight for him against inflation—unless we make sure when he gets back his dollar will be worth a dollar. To protect his dollar, we must realize NOW the clangers of careless, unnecessary buying! We must buy only what weneed-never buy two where one will. do! We must not evade rationing or price control, or deal with black markets. If we break the rules, our country -the country he's fighting for—will start on that spiral of prices known as inflation! Remember! Every time ONE of us breaks ONE of these rules, we're lowering the value of our soldier's dollar. We're helping to shoot prices sky-high ; and sky-high prices mean inflation: The value of every dollar in Canada goes down, and when the men overseas come back their dollar might buy only a quarter's worth of goods! We can prevent inflation! We can give our fighting man his "right to go fishin't', if we make sure his dollar will be worth a dollar, when he comes 'home. We can't give back to him his lost years, or his lost youth. But if we keep up the fight against inflation, he can look forward to pleasant, satisfying living — the Canadian way of life! Published byTHE' BRifWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) to reveal the dangers of lnflation. Make this Pledge Today! 1 pledge myself to do my part in fighting inflation: By observing rationing and 'avoiding black markets in any shape or form. By respecting price controls and other anti-inflation measures, and re. frainingfrom careless and unneces- sary buying. I will not buy two where one will do, nor will I buy a "new" where an "old" will do: By buying Victory .Bonds and War Savings Stamps, supporting tax- ation, and abiding by ell such measures which will lower the cost of living and help keep prices at noiiilnal level.
