THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 1940. â€",â€"â€"â€"â€" Letters From England Show Spirit of British People DESPITE AIR RAIDS AND LOSS OF HOMES BRITISH PEOPLE CAN STILL SMILE The following are extracts from People Are Grim And erameous letter received by Mrs. George Mas- Thc following article is from a ters, Richmond Hill, from her sister 3 recent letter from Mrs. Dorothy Silk in England: 18 Burnham Drive, Worcester Pk. Surrey, Tues, Sept. 10, 19â€"10 Dear Em, George and Kiddies:â€" Many thanks for your much look- ed for letter; I am answlei-ing it during an air raid. I suppose you hear all about the wretched things, lasting eight and nine hours at night and seveiial in the day. Most times in the day it is only warnings. Ron's sister and Aunt have had their houses badly damaged and they have had to leave them. Auntie’s has to be pulled d0wn which seems a shame1 Still with all the scares, the British people can always smile, and old Hitler and his gang sure have it coming to them. I only wish our kiddies were with you, but the plan seems to have been given up for the time being anyway. “I never thought We’d see another war, still I’m: sure we’ll come through with flying colors although it may be a long struggle. We have rigged up an indoor shelter downâ€" stains for the time being and both kiddies are asleep there, bless their hearts. We don’t know what bed ‘feels like.” Ron, Ren and Kiddies. The writing of the albove letter was interrupted by an air raid. A.P..S. said “raid started 8.1-0 Tuesâ€" dlay evening and finished at 5.45 Wednesday morning. We’re fine in ‘spite of it. The British shot down 90 enemy planes yesterday, three cheers.” PUBLIC NOTICE COURT OF REVISION ' VILLAGE OF RICHMOND HILL The Court of Revision for the Vil- lage of Richmond Hill will hold its First Sitting for the current year on MONDAY, OCTOBER 2lst, 1940’ for the purpose of hearing com- plaints and appeals against the as- sessment of the said village.

I seem to be in one perpetual rush these days. The sirens usually go about 8 p.m. and then we have to get out of the kitchen and lounge as they are too unsafe so we sit in the hall passage. About 10 o'clock two girls who live in the upstairs flat come in to sleep. We have the camp bed in the passage and one sleeps there and the other sleeps on a lilo on the floor. Jack and I sleep in the bedroom which is quite protectâ€" ed by the wall of the opposite house but I have space underneath the bed so that we can scramble under there. Night after night the Jerries come over and as we have big mobile guns and the A.A. Batteries all a- round us, the gunfire is terrific. You lie in bed and listen to the drone of the engines, and then you hear the whistle through the air which means that bombs have been un- loaded and one holds one’s breath, wondering if it will land in the house. Since the fire about which I wrote you in my last letter, King- ston has again been bombed. Do you rememlber “Ye Old Post Office, right opposite the King’s Stone, well that is a wreck. I don’t think there is a store in Kingston or in the marâ€" ket place, left with any windows. Ben'tals has had it again and the Jerries said over their wireless they are out for them, as they are dis- playing a Junkers, the money to go for a Spitfire. The devils, now they have torpedoed this boat in mid- ocean and 83 kiddies have lest their lives. We’ll pay them back and we were all heartened to hear that Ber- lin had been subjected to bOmbing for four hours. We are more and more determined to see it through to the bitter end. Such indiscriminate bombing and when our King and Queen were bombed at Buckingham Palace that was the last straw, and they are doing their best to get them to leave the Palace but I can’t imagine them doing so. What a wonderful couple Daily they are to be seen visiting poor, homcless people. \‘Ve are all very grim and it is just won- derful how everyone adapting themselves to changed conditions. 15 {All the cinemas close at 9 and there is not a person to be seen in the after the sirens (Wailing “'innie we call them) goes at 8. I am using splinter proof net on the windows to prevent glass from I hurting anyone. It is really marvellous how grim and courageous the stricken people are and the Germans don’t know the British nature. When things are tough'it just strengthens our resolve to kill them and finish them off. Before I used to worry about my flat but I am only concerned about our lives as one can always get furniture if necessary. I have two suitcases packed with warm clothing in case we have to evacuate. Did you listen to the King's speech? How heartened we were to hear his courageous w0rds. They are the exact sentiment of the people and what a wonderful example they are. We shall be so glad when this war is over, but never will capitu- late. Our Navy and: R.A.F. Wonderful, also the Home Units. There is such coâ€"operation and ev- eryone is helping one another. / GIRLS’ RED CROSS The annual meeting and election| of officers of the Girls‘ Red Cross Society took place on Tuesday, Oc- tcber 15th.
