We were glad to hear that the boys have joined up but they should have got in our regiment. However they are in the army and that’s all that matters. Tell dad‘ not to take it too hard as I think one war should be enough for anybody. Keep your chin up, and the best of luck. Tell the Iboys to take care of themselves, we are doing just that." Iceland, Aug. MW, 1940 “Well how are things at home; We are both fine. As you will note we are in Iceland and will tell you a few things about the country. We have hot and cold running streams due to the volcanic conditions of the country. It is rocky, barren and very mountainous with no trees or growth of any kind except swamp hay down in the valleys. The farms are very poor and there is not much stock on them. The horses here are about the size of Shetland ponies. Most of the people are friendly, ex- cept a few who are fifth columnists. The followingâ€" are extracts from intu‘esting letters received by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Adams, Richmond Hill from their sons Bill and George with the Canadian Active Service force in Iceland: “People Mostly Friendly But Sam Fifth Columnists." Say Bill and George Adams in Letter Home lad'ies of the congregation are cor dially invited. The annual Thank-offering meet- ing will be held on Friday evening, October 18th.

Citizens of Richmond Hill district this week opened their doors to Red Cross canvassers and cheerfully 100sâ€" ened their purse strings in support of the Emergency War Appeal of the Red Cross Society. While the campaign does not. close until Sat- urday night it is already evident that the response will be very grati- fying. At press time Dr. J. P. Wil- son, chairman of the campaign c0m- mittee reported subscriptions so far totalling $1254.60. Fifteen teams of canvassers have been busy during the week and only a few have com- pleted their calls. The committee hopes that every house will have been called on before Saturday night, and everyone 'given an opportunity to support this urgent appeal for the work of the Red Cross. If by any chance anyone in the district is missed, donations may be sent to Dr. Wilson, chairman of the committee.

Additional voices have been included in the soprano, alto and bass sec- tions, to make the largest choir within memory and within the ex- perience of its leadér Mr. Adelmo Melecci. Mr. Melecci has filled that position for 18 years, and constantly held the choir to a standard far be- yond that of the average country church. The choir is assisting at the anniâ€" versary services of Newtonbrook United Church this coming- Sunday evening, when two anthems and tWo solos will be sung. On November 3rd the choir has been invited to sing at Shenbourne St. United church whose choir is led' by Mr. G. D. At- kinson.

Donations all the way from $1.00 to $100 have been re» ceived) but the notable feature of the whole campaign is me fine gener- ous spirit of the people and their admiration for the work of the Red Richmond Hill High School was‘ favoured with a beautiful day for their Annual Field Meet on Wed? nesday, October 2. The unusual num- ber of ties for championships shows] the keenness of competition in all events. Mark Stewart and Bruce of the present appeal is evidenced in the splendid' reception accorded the canvassers. The people seem fully alive to the necessity of every- one doing some-thing to support the Cross. “1 never made a canvass where I found such whole-hearted support ficrthcomlng for any cause,” is the concensus of ‘canvassers re- ports. Subscriptions are made gen- erously and cheerfully and in almost every case the comment is “I only wish I could make it more.” Three days still remain and the committee hopes by Saturday night reports from canvassers will put Richmond Hill Red Cross well over the objective in the campaign.
