We are just back from Germany and expect to land in Canada not later than May. Well, Gid, we are glad the fight is over, soldiering is a tough old life and I'll be glad to see the old burg again. No doubt I'll see quite a change--more in the people than in the place. Some have been laid to rest and the boys and girls will have been partially grown up. Some of the boys talk of starting to roam when they get their discharge, but that's not me--I have had all the roaming I want. It will be quite a change to get into civilian life again after toughing it here so long. I ex- pect that the Morrison boys will be home before me. I was sure sorry to hear of Lloyd Smith's death. I was not with him at the time as I had just been transferred to another unit. Harold Stagg told me about it and it nearly broke my heart as I was in the same battalion as Lloyd for quite a while and he was a good pal. I did not get a chance to see his grave or I would have got a wreath for it. There will be many a glad heart when the boys return and many-a-sad one for those that will-never go back.

The public meeting called by the Reeve of Elma and held at Atwood last Saturday to discuss the question of erecting some worthy memorial to the memory of the soldiers who have fallen in battle and also to the mem- ory of those who have done such noble work and returned and are re- turning, was not as well attended as could have been expected in connec- tion with such a worthy object, but was quite representative and a good}. deal of discussion followed the reeve's introduction of the matter. When a standing vote was taken as to wheth- er anything should be done along that line it was carried unanimously in the affirmative. But what should be done to be the most appropriate jand what medium adopted' to. raise the funds under existing conditions seems to be the most difficult part of the problem. For the most part the Township Council taking up the mat- ter and raising the funds as for other '|grants seemed to be most favorable. Quite a number appear to think such a course would not be so honorable as the gratuitous contribution, which ineurs the tedious work of canvassing and quite likely receiving only a very jinadequete portion of what would be needed to do something creditable and whereas the other plan would be the most ae and most easily man- aged for all.
