We are station- ed: at a small‘ village in a farming .community which is a swell place, ithat is it must have been in pea-0e :time. Now it is full of evacuees, women and" children. from London .Who have been bomnbe'dl out. The little tots are after us all the time for souvenins. When we go out at night we suffer from the black-out. Al'IJ lights are out and: house win- d‘c'ws are tightly’hovered. However it is surprising how you get used to it. I think my eyes are getting like cat‘s eyes. I enjoy getting out a- mong the farmers. One Saturday afternoon I had nothing to do so went out and! helped a farmer pick potatoes. He gave me a half crown, afbout 60 cents. Since that he has (been. very goodJ to us and we have lbcen to his home many times for rvilsiits and to play cards. And I tell l,y'ou‘ those home cooked farm meals tasted! good. You can’t beat the “farm after all. He has a Massey- Harris Binidier. “Well here I am‘ in old England, again, and it is! cold1 and' you seem to feel it more than in Canada. I have just returned‘ from five days landing leave which I spent on the Isle of Wight with a, chap from Can- ad'a whose home was there. He hadn’t 'be-en home for 22 years‘ and they didn’t know him when he walk- ed in. There are some wonderful 'sights over here, stately old! build- .ings and castles almost 1000 years 'olld~ All have sltone, tile or slate xroofs. We are pleased to be privileged to pulblish the following interesting ex- tracts from a letter written by Lance Corporal Ken Prentice, well known for many years as an» aucâ€" tionie‘ei- in York County, by his fath- er at Milliken. Ken is- serving with the Canadian Army Overseas. Envrou/te to the coast, we stepped off at Quebec City and stretched our limbs by hiking up ’to the heights overlooking the Plain‘s- of Abraham, where once the British had it out Wilt‘h‘the French, and both lost their leaders, Montcalm and Wolfe, I believe. Genieralg in by- gone days‘ apparently letd' their arm- ies into battle! How times have changed! The other night at the Parish Hall there was a Red Cross Dame and they found out I was an auctioneer and! I auctioned off cakes and‘ things for the British Red Cross. They all enu'oyed) it and! I got along with the English money better than I ex- pected. Tchalcco, cigarettes, canned goods and paper is very expensive here even when you can get them. To- bacco costs 30 cents an ounce in Canadian money. Our outfit left Petarwavwa Camp 'by {ram on October 3 for a twoâ€"day hide to the east coast. We were jam'medl in like sardines, and my bed at night was a nice comfortable spot with the luggage im the loft over the seat occupied by my ‘bud‘dines. In the army one sometimes sleeps in the most unusual places, and when: fatigued, any place looks“ good. On‘ neasch‘inlg the coast we were hustled aboard a troop ship of 27,â€" 0100 tons, and like the others, I fig- uredl we would have plenty of room. However, when we had‘ our first look into our quarters, we wondered how we would ever squeeze .in.; just an- other sardine affair. Our beds were hlamlmccks slung at night so com- pactly that few were in danger of falling out. They prorved comcfort- alblle enough after a. night or so of getting used‘ to them. We were a- board! shL'L'p two weeks to the day. There were other units of the ser- viee on board, and‘ among them were many Air Force men from all over the Empire and United! States, and our fellows hit it off with them in fine manner. At night they played lbinvgo in their quarters, and I spent some time there; also a few sh‘ill- ings, when not on the sick list or on duty, and I had‘ my share of 'both. While on duty on the Forward ‘Delck one stormy night after three days at sea», that nasty uncomfort- alb‘lre feeling hit me just where you would imagine, and believe me, if a torpedo had found! its mark in our boat I would not halve minded going down; to “Davy’is Locker.” Many of the boys were sick for two or three days, [but we all lived to enjoy the rest-06f the voyage. When the sea is calm, and you are out on deck at sunrise, it is a sight never to be forgotten; and again, 60 see the rollers during a storm is a thrilling experience. I Wondered how those little destroy- ers whri'ch conveyed us across ever \I PRENTICE NOW OVERSEAS KEEPS IN PRACTICE- BY AUCH‘IONEEMNG FOR B-R’ITflStH RED CROSS THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND. HILL, ONTARIO LETTERS FROM OVERSEAS kept afloat, but they Were all there and in. position at each break of day“; Blackouts aboarcl ship were rightly kept, and' you can imagine the fun we had finding our way about the ship. Here in, England the same thing exists even» to the tiniest village, and since our arrival the boys have either connected' with shone walls or fallen into brooks, which have a. hacit of f10wving through these chanming little Eng- lish villages. Yes, I always learn the hard} way, having stepped in with both feet, and) led with my chin as well! I have just received three hundred cigarettes from your branch of the Red! Cross and I wish to send‘ to you my many, many thanks. You will no doubt never know just how much we boys over here on Active Service appreciate a parcel of “smokes”. They are very scarce here now. In fact for two weeks now you cannot buy cigarettes for love nor money around where we are stationed and well without a smoke I am just not myself. We do look forward; to Canadian mail coming in so much and; unfortun- ater of late there has been very little for our unit and‘ it is an add- ed} pleasant surprise indeed: when you receive a. parcel from someone or from the Red CrOSs when you are not expecting it.

The visit of Trinity Square Mad- rigal Singers to the Turkey Supper entertainment at St. John’s Church, Oak Ridge-st. has, so far, received“ no comment or appraisal from the press.
