As we do not have very much spare thne we are unable to do our own' fancy work, and: are also handi- capped: by lack of materialsâ€"cou- pons are not issued' to soldiers. Com- forts such as those you sent do help us along, we get so tired of seeing khaki. Life in the A.T.S. is very a’bsorb- ing and it is certainly a full time job. As we are told, we are on duty twenty-four hours out of twenty- !our, and seven days a. week. Some- times we grumble, but then we do that in spare time, and! isn’t it sup- posed to be a British characteristic? We see nearly as many of your boys as our own in this part of the country, and‘ your native hospitality and kindness radiates from them. Each fortnight they send a truck to our Camrp to take girls to a dance held in their quarters. They give us girls a marvellous time then deposit; u§v safe and! scum! in Camp To the members- of St. Mary's Anglican Church:â€" Please accept the mest Sincere thanks fax; your leaver gift of towels, on 'behalf of the A.T.S. at this» Training Centre. We were awâ€" fully bhrilled- with them»; it is a mar- vellous; idea to do crochet won); on towels. I had’ never seen it before. It is grand» to feel that so many mil-es away there are other members of the British Empire striving to win the war in their own homes and in their own free time. Last spring a special service was held at St. Mary’s Anglican Church, Richmond Hill, to which were brought “bundles for Britain”. These were received and blessed by the Rector and! then packed and‘ sent overseas. Recently the following very interesting letter was received from one of those who thankfully received one of the “bundles”. “Bundies qu Britain!” From Richâ€" mond Hill Received With Gratitude in Enghmd There will be roses» and' sweet vio~ lets mingled And ivy will iclimlb high around the door; We both will! find peace and conâ€" tentment And be happy together once more. I’ll return that sweet love dear forâ€" ever, When my duty here is no more to roam; Ami I hope that we’ll soon be to- gather In our, little pLace we call home. You spoke of our love never dying, Though duty may keep us apart, And! I know that .each word was a vow dear, That came from deep down in your heart. A SOLDIER? DREAM Last night as I laid on my Iblankets, I dreamed of love that we shared: Then I knew there was somebody waiting For me so far over there. Well Jack I guess that is all for now. Here is a poem I thought up for your paper. It will take up some space anyway. Well Jack so long, good luck, thanks again for The Lilberal and! bestt wishes to all the folks at home. In fancy your fair face shone be- fore me With; beautiful radiance alglow, And I thought I heard' my name whispered In accent so tender, and low. I wish to take the opportuniby to tihank you for sending- me “The Liberal" which. brings me nearer to home acress the sea. to which I hope someday to return and see all the smiling faces I know so well. I have travelled far since I left Richmond Hill. I have been all ov‘er the Brit- 'ishv Isles but nothing like your own little town. I have seen the King and Queen four times now. The weather Over here is quite different to that of ours at home. Right now it is foggy oldv England: and» it is cold) at nights with so much fog. Jerry is not over so much now. I guess the Russians have got them in hand. Dear Mr. Smith:â€" THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13th, 1941. ERNIE GOODE. WRITES- FROM’ ENGLAND W28803, Cpl. E. P. Menage, H. Q. Company, No. 7 A.T.S.

I have 'been in Yonkshire for two months and I am very happy.” The Mankham Township Branch of the Red Cross has received) many interesting letters from people in 'bomhah areas of Britain who have been the recipients of clothing made by members of the branch. There is the case of little Miss Valerie Roseniblatt. She received an outfit made by the Buttonnvillle unit of the fbranch and She writes as follows: Every part of a day is accounted for in the Army. Reveille is at six thirty, breakfast an hour later. The time duties begin depends on the type of work. Cooks; begin work sometime-s as early‘ as four in the morning in order to get the 'boil- ers' lighted. “Lights out” is at ten fifteen andl we have to be in the Camp by ten: forty-five unless in possession of a late pass. The rules may sound! irksome to you but we all realise that every 'rule is made for a reason» so just grin: and. bear it. We are very proud’ of two Canad- ian girls here at this unit. It must have been a wrench for them to leave their homes and come so far dd sta nit. Thank you for your gifts, we are really very grateful. THANK YOU.

CoalJ fatigues and some of the heavy jobs in the cook house are rather s‘tremiOuS, but we set our teeth and say “Oh!
