And an important thing is that the chill should be taken off the water before drinking. As pointed out by W. P. Albright, Superintendent Dominion Experimental Farm, Beaverlodge, Alberta, "starey-coated, and constipated cattle shivering humpbacked at icy troughs on a bleak winter day are an object of sympathy and a standing advertisement for shrunken profits." If the water is ice-cold the aniamls do not drink enough water. The small amount that they do drink checks natural functions. Results are constipation, ill-thrift and sometimes indigestion. A small town is the place where they ask a fellow "where are you goin?" when ho appears dressed in his best clothes. LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS BANKS • POST OPFICES DEPARTMENT STORES • DRUGGISTS GROCERS • TOBACCONISTS BOOK STORES and other RETAIL STORES From George Waller Overseas, Nov. 25, 1943 Dear Mrs. Warner and Members of the Ladies' Auxiliary I received your very welcome parcel t. few days ago. It really is a treat to get these lovely things from home. Well, here it is nearly Christmas again--my fourth away from home. It seems much longer than that since I walked around the old home town. I expect to go on leave in a coupli of days. It is a break to get away for seven days from the army routine. I expect to visit Glasgow and Edinburgh this time. The people are very kind, a little hard to qet acquainted with, but very nice when they get know one. I have met so many and have so many invitations to return anytime, that I don't know how I will ever get to see them all unless I can get more and longer leaves--ha! ha! I expect you will be having some real winter by the time this reaches you. The weather here has been very wet lately and, as we are in tin huts in a forest, it isn't the best. One good part is, we have have lots of wood to keep the fires going. In closing I wish to thank all you kind people for remembering me and sincerely wish you all the very best throughout the coming year. Sincerely, Cpl. Waller, G. From A. C. Malloch Overseas, Dec. 5, 1943 Dear Mrs. Warner : Another year has gone by and still you kind ladies of the Colborne Branch are carrying on your j work. Thank you very much for the nice parcel which arrived yesterday, containing all the things which so scarce here, and which are so to get. Our rations, as you probably know, are excellent and quite ample. In fact, I think we are exceptionally well fed and well looked after every way. But, these little "extras" are like the difference between plain bread and butter and an occasional bit of cake. And, it is particularly nice to realize that we are not forgotten. Life here these days (in this part of England at least) is very unexciting, and at the same time, very busy. Our weather is settling down for the usual winter of rain, log and damp cold, though to-night is bringt and clear, with a quarter moon. It Is also very quiet for a change. This past year has seen a very favourable change in the war all the world, and I hope that, before another year goes by, we will be able to turn our eyes toward Canada. Please convey my thanks to all the ladies of Branch No. 187. Sincerely, A. C. Malloch. From Bill Troop Overseas, Nov. 27, 1943 Ladies' Auxiliary, Colborne Branch No. 187, Canadian Legion B.E.S.L. Dear Friends : Received your parcel a few days ago. It took quite a while to find me, as it was on the road about three months. However, everything was Thanks very much for thinking of me again. Things are going very well for me, but I am looking forward to the day when I can return to Canada. I hope this finds you all well. Sincerely, Bill Troop. B8475 Sgt. Troop, W. J., 1 C. O. R.

I greatly appreciate you kindness and ieel happy that Colborne "till remem- I am well and very busy lately, but don't mind, as'every effort brings the end of this struggle and the time when we can all get back to our families much nearer,. I sincerely hope you people are all keeping well, as we need you help so much. Thanking you all once again, I am, Yours as ever, Irvine Post.

Dear Mrs. Warner : J Just a few lines to thank you and ; all the ladies for the splendid parcel j I received a short time ago. I appreciate it very much. ! I hope this finds you all in the best of health. There isn't much I can say, only to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Once again, thanks a lot. Sincerely yours, Bruce McDonald. From Cecil Burleigh Overseas, Dec. 8, 1943 The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Colborne Branch No. 187, Canadian Legion B.E.S.L. Mrs. B. Warner, President. Dear Mrs. Warner : Must write ana thank your branch for the swell Christmas box which arrived safe and sound to-day. I found the contents most useful and eats in perfect shape. I know I sepak for all the Colborne boys over here and abroad when I say we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Every little act of kindness from our friends back home makes our tasks over here that much easier. I sincerely hope that this year shall see the end to the conflict and the destruction of Hitler and all the Axis powers. In conclusion, let me once n thank you and all your members for remembering me, and may nothing happen to prevent Colborne Branch from carrying on its good work among the local boys on active service. Sincerely Yours, Cecil Burleigh. C65241, Pte. Burleigh, C. A., No. 6 Coy, No. 1 C.S.R.U., Canadian Army Overseas. From Harold Kernaghan Overseas, Dec. 15, 1943 Dear Mrs. Warner : Would you kindly express my cere thanks to the Ladies' Auxiliary for the very fine parcel which I received a few days ago. I must say that it was very acceptable and certainly every article was just what a fellow likes to get. Suppose everyone at home is getting that Christmas feeling. We are busy arranging things here and I am sure that everyone of us will have a very good day. We all miss the snow here at this time and I think Christmas lacks something without it. Perhaps another year will be home to see some. Have not seen any boys from home for some time but hear very good reports of them. I must close for now and trust everyone in Lakeport and Colborne will have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sincerely, Harold Kernaghan. From J. P. Clarey Overseas, Dec. 7, 1943 Dear Mrs. Warner : I was very much pleased to receive your lovely parcel two days ago. You have no idea how a parcel from Canada is appreciated by the boys over here. It was in perfect condition and came over in just a little over month. In fact all my mail is coming regular. I surely hope it continues. I am feeling fine and don't think the English winter is going to be too hard on me. I suppose by now winter at home is well on the way. We are stationed at a large hospital and occasionally I see boys from Colborne. Francis Kemp was in the other day. Capt. W. P. Marshall is one of our officers. I wish to thank you very much for remembering me, Mrs. Warner, and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. Give my regards to all back home. Yours truly, J. P. Clarey. From Bill Robinson Overseas, Dec. 5, 1943 Dear Mrs. Warner : It was a pleasant surprise to reive your parcel last night. Thanks so much for everything. Every article i useful and appreciated so much. Not from the material standpoint are these gifts appreciated, but the thought behind them and to be remembered touches one. We realize how much you are doing over there, and without your help we would not be able to carry on over here. This letter may not reach you before Christmas, but I trust you will have a happy one. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and the best j of every good tning in 1944. Thanking you and the Ladies' Aux- j iliary again for your gift, I remain, i Yours sincerely, Bill Robinson, j From Dorothy Martin Canadian Red Cross Society, Newfoundland, Jan. 7, 1944 Dear Mrs. Warner : Many thanks for your thoughtful-ness in sending me such a lovely Christmas box. I wish the packers of these boxes could watch the opening to see just how much their efforts are appreciated. There is such mystery enclosed in each one. The work I am doing here is very interesting, but keeps us quite busy. Many different jobs turn up each day, from delivering "woolies" to our lads in blue, to helping out in the baby One of my favorite duties is driving to the country every Friday afternoon to visit patients in the R.C.A.F. hospital. I always ask the boys where they are from, but as yet have not found one from Colborne. This is really a quaint town ,and so quiet. The talk of the people subdued and seldom does one hear loud voices when walking along the streets. The Irish accent is tricky catch at first. With the winter season come many styles and colours of sleighs, each with their own particular jingle of bells, the like of which is seldom seen at home. There are times I wish I could ride in one, instead of sliding all over the hills on all fours. The vicnity of Colborne is pretty nice and, after my time is up here, I am looking forward to a visit and talk things over. Thanks again for your kindness. Yours sincerely, Dorothy Martin. From Fred Millar Overseas, Jan. 7, 1944 The Ladies* Auxiliary Dear Friends : It gives me great pleasure to thank all the ladies for their kindness thinging of me again. Your parcel arrived safely a f days ago. I appreciate the amount of work you ladies must have in sending us chaps overseas such lovely parcels. Some say 1944 will see the end of this war. I sincerely hope so, as all over here will surely be happy to get back to Canada rejoicing over the victory. Yours sincerely, F. S. Millar From A. Whaley ------Victoria, B.C., Jan. 14. 1944 Dear Mrs. Warner received the Christmas box you ?adies were so kind to send was very nice. Thank you very much. I was fortunate enough to be home with my wife and baby for Christmas and we had a grand time. I haven't had much sea time as yet, but expect to be going to sea again soom. I hope you will all have a very Happy and Prosperous New Year. Thank you again for the Christmas box. From Chas. Fish Overseas, Dec. 11, 1943 Dear Mrs. Warner : Received the welcome Christmas parcel the first of this week, for which I thank you all very much. The cake was wonderful. I ate it all the first night, and the socks were just what I needed. Will close for now, thanking you and the other ladies once more for the lovely parcel. Yours, Charles Fish. From John McKenzie Overseas, Dec. 16. 1943 Dear Mrs. Warner : Just a few lines to wish you and all the Branch a very Merry Christ-Received another lovely parcel from you wonderful ladies who are helping the Colborne boys' morale wonderfully.

Supplementing the booklet a general appeal on home saving possible has gone to the almost 70,000 employees of the company and the subject will be kept alive by a continuing intra-company •educational series. All phases of the campaign, announced by W. M. Neal, the vice-president, are expected to save 500,000 tons of coal throughout the system itself, with the home savings by Canadian Pacific people expected to add considerably even to that impressive figure. The company saving will be 10 per cent, on the approximate 5,000,000 tons of coal required annually-- a remarkable saving, when considered in the light of the Canadian Pacific's own conservation campaign to increase operating efficiency, which has been intensively pursued for 10 years. «
