one of us at one time or another lets our minds stray back over the sea an4 consequently have the blues for a while i have read several letters from here which are greatly exaggerated in some respects there is no need for anxiety about usas there is no action hereifyou could only see this country you would never realize there was a war so close everything is as peaceful as in our own small towns at

ment bread and vegetables were not rationed with so trianygrowing their own vegetables last year and with a favorable season there was no scar city of vegetables i saw oranges for sale once they were for children only stores were ibusy but i never saw a queue lined tip to buy food al though there were lineups in the early mornings where cigarettes were sold three to a customer avhat to send in parcels of food to britain what is sent to canadian soldiers in britain is largely a matter of in dividual pieference the weight al- lowanceis liberal and there are few- restrictions another officer at can adian army headquarters in london suggests butter sugar marmalade fruit juice in cans razor blades garters and braces another suggests candy particularly chocolate i ask- ed many soldiers what they would like and gota few other suggestions they seemed to be well supplied with cigarettes though there were many complaints about cigarettes going astray i imagine that it is not so much what is in parcels for soldiers that counts so much as the fact that they are sent regularly they like to know that the people back home have not forgotten- them parcels for civilians in britain must be chosen carefully the weight limit is fivepounds including the wrapping and package there are some restrictions about the number of packages which may be sent and the contents if the parcel does not comply with the restrictions it will not be delivered the person to whom it is consigned will he notified but the contents will be turned over to iome organization that is worse than not sending apavcel at all civilians in britainappreciate the parcels sent them even niore than the boys in the armed services they are more in need of the extra food a pound of butter received from can ada- for instance doubles the ration for one person for two months there is a definite rule that no person in britain may write to ask that food be sent hut you can be sure it will be welcomed i asked many civilians what they would like most if parcels were sent them from canada invariably butter headed the list it can be bought in cans i heard of one old lady who re ceived a twopound tin of butter from canada she called the neighbors in to see it the local paper heard the story and printed it two months later she still had her ibutter un opened a treasure beyond price not more than two pounds of any one substance may be sent in a five pound parcel do not send clothing the person who receives it will be forced to give up clothing coupons and possibly have to pay duty as well dont send cigarettes to civil ians either since the duty is high tea- is not so scarce as generally supposed are jliiny canadian soldiers miirijlng british girls perhaps this is a subject that i should not discuss it seems to ho a ticklish one one of the other editors on the trip wrote aboutltmn a wo mans magazine and crcated quite a stir iihad an item in my own paper on the subject and today received a redhot letter from some toronto woman who says i shouldbe writing fordnb she is quite rude in her remarks not only about me 1ut also about canadian girls x vet the subject is one of interest and i dont see why it should be kept secret canada has sent some two hundred thousand of her young men oyer the ocean every one that mar ries in will hot be jree to marry a canadian girl if he roturns and allowances and pensions to the wives overseas must amount to a consider able item in time- many canadian soldiers are marry ing english girls some are marrying scottish girls the commanding offi cer of one
