I know I would and I‘m sure the other fellows in the Service too, would like to hear from you and I could tell you what little I know about army life and you could tell me what you will be doing all winter, You know "Gang"‘ when you live in a town like Timmins all your life and then come down here where you don‘t know anyone, you think what a swell place Timmins is even if you do have to go to school and do homework. Just a note in appreciation Oof your| thinking of me and sending me those cigarettes. It was a very pleasant surâ€" prise and especially so coming from the pupils of the school from which Ij graduated. I remember in my History| lesson about wars and especially | Great War then but I never éxpected | to be in a war and do my small part to | make real British histOry myself, I hope we can settle with old Hitler so you fellows and girls won‘t have to eat ‘"bully beef" and "hard tack". It sounds exciting:; it did to me too, at first, but like. all thingzs you get too used to them; | Well, fellows and girls, I ‘will close now, again tahnking you sincerely for remembering me and will be waiting for an answer from one of you. Till then, I remain, > Your sOldier friend. P.S. Have you got a good hockey team picked out yet. I used to play for the school when we got the cup and kept it. Try to do it again and tell me how you are getting along. Mattagami P. S. Fag Pund:â€" Just a few lines to thank you for the cigarettes which I received yesterday. At present L am in the hospital due to an accident on Oct. 11. I hope to be up and around in two or three weeks. Thanking you again for the cigarettes. I remain. "Soldier Friend." When school opened here in Septemâ€" ber the boys and girls at the Mattaâ€" gami Public school started a fund to send cigarettes to former pupils of the: school, It meant that the boys and| girls at Mattagami public school were ready to give from their small savings and carnings to show the former pupils overseas that the school was proud of them and remembered them. Already over fifty dollars has been contributed | and cigarettes overseas to all the former pupils now serving in the C. A. The best way to show that the good work is appreciated is to quote from letters of acknowledgement from forâ€" mer pupile sent to the Mattagami Pubâ€" lie School Fag Fund. Friends of Mattagami Public School Fag Fund:â€" Dear Fag Fund: | A few words to express my gratitude on receiving your very welcome and| unexpected parcel. You may see from the following that I am not very apt at writing letters of appreciation to a very fine and thoughtful group of puâ€"| pils. Oh, I suppose if I had paid more | attention to my teachers and homeâ€"| work, especially composition, and put| in a little less of my energy to looking out of the window and wishing I was through school, 1 would be more capaâ€" ble of thanking you. Right now we are in something which | is too big for anyone to buck or to cry | their way out,. My only hope is that' you may not have to grow up and live in a world which is so unsettled as it is now, but I firmly believe with the type of men we have in our Empire we will never fail to make it safe, so that the men and women and children of toâ€"morrow will never see such a catisâ€"| trophe. l Acknowledging "Fags" from the Mattagami School Boys Overseas Appreciate| the Thought and Sacrifice of the Punils of School Here. j P.S.: I hope you have a very good hockey team. We did. My friend and I both played on the same team, he in goal and I on right wing. To this day he has a flattened nose where he stopâ€" ed a puck playing hockey for you about ten yvears ago.. He is also writâ€" ing a letter. ~Predericton Gleaner:â€" Tentâ€" caterâ€" pillars reverse the process of building a house and stocking it with food. They build ply.

A report of the Canadian National Railways for a six months period indicates that during the period the Commissary Kitchen cars attached to troop trains served 249,900 pounds of food ,to which was added 15,000 loaves, 3,000 gallons of milk and 4,500 dozean of eggs. To sweeten 3,000 pounds of tea and 6,000 pounds of coffee, as well as for the odd pie, the cooks used 24,â€" C0O0 pounds of sugar. The breakfast bacon accounted for 3,600 pounds fortiâ€" fied by 6,000 pounds of sausage and 7,200 pounds of marmalade and jam, although some of the latter were used for the teaâ€"time menu. There was alâ€" so a trifle of 3,000 pounds of rolled oats for porridge and a substantial use of butter, 19,500 pounds in all. The breakfast list was topped off by 4,800 pounds of prunes. Meat was plentiful, mutton heading the list at 37,800 pounds, brisket of beef, 9,0C0 pounds, corned beef, 7,500 pounds, ribs of beef, 3,900 pounds and pork, 6,000 pounds. Vegetables were used generously beginning with 51,000 pounds of potatoes, 24,000 pounds of carrots and lesser but substantial quantities ofâ€" turnips, cabbage and onions, 6,000 pounds of the latter being used to season the stews.
