Dear George: It might seem %trange to the present generation that one of your readers should confess to turning first to the article "In the Dim and Distant Past" and recalling those days when he was continaally surprised to find s0 many people knew himn that he had neyer met before-never a city at which 1 have called, and a good many villages far removed îfrom Bowmanville have I failed to find someone who read The Statesman. Literally hundreds of men in the last war read The Statesman who had neyer been conscious that Bowmanville existed, and read a mention of themselves- because that was important to the home town paper - they were some Mother's sons giving their lives if necessary, that those things which we held dear were preserved. Twenty-five years later we read "Letters fromi home town boys over the ocean" and I must confeas that even though some of the names are new to me, I can picture themn as I sometimes was, loneiy and homesick - if even only for some "applesauce as made by Mrs. Bottreli" with whomn I boarded before going overseas!! Very truly the home town paper is an intimate record of al happenings such as few persons could record in a personal letter, and is read a good deal more minutely than by the persons at home-who wonder, what is wrong if it isn't in the mail box at twa o'clock, and hasn't a full re- port o! the visitors last Sunday. Seeing the article recording LAC (Sandy) Colville receiving his wings (now P.O. of course) I recaiied picking him. up at the training depot one evening at Belleville when I called for my son Donald who was in training there at the same time. He was surprised that I had once lived at Bowmanvilie and knew a number of people he knew too-perhaps he recalled it later when home and mentioned the tact-a very fine boy and a worthy follower o! his brothers in the service. In- cidentally my own son will be given his wings, August 20th, at Dunnviile, and I suspect dad wil have is chst out that day as he witnesses the event-(as if he were instrumental in the success) grandest boys that a father ever had. Well I guess I have said my piece for this time, but I like ta let yau know that I value the weeky nws fram. the town which' adopted me-(ar was it ethe other way round)-anyhaw the news it cantains fram week ta week neyer fails ta bring back memories that are pleasant. Very sincerely, DAN M. DOUGLAS. TRIBUTE TO LIONS CLUB Ta the Editar of The Star: Sir: For severai years it has beený my pleasure ta be "iguide"~ for one of our finest o! sightless women. One marning when I cailed for her she said, "Mrs. F. would like ta accompany us ta Church. She has came fromn an outiying town ta obtain special treatment for, her eyes." Unable ta finance the prajeet herseif, the Lions Club o! her town had made inquiry and found that whereas she had neyer had more than two per cent vision there was a possibility o! a 75 per cent sight. Therefore arrange- ments were made by the Club for ail expenses ta be met. Again it was my pleasure ta be with her when the specialist 'Heros the New, Easy Way Healthful Family Meals"à WYJOMEN everywhere acclaim "Eat-to- Work -ta .Win"*, authoritative new bookiet that takes ail the guesswork out of gaod nutrition.

Starting with 1Joshua he touched on the fear- iessness o! men o! vision down inserted the glasses into her eyes. Coming into the receptian room she exclaimed, "'Oh! Now I can see what you look like. Look! I can see the street cars down there and people on the street." Turning ta the doctor she cried, "0, dactor, I'm sa happy. If you hadé't a wife I'd kiss you." Then she threw her arms around me and gave me a 'bear's hug'. It was necessary for her to learn to adjuat the glasses herself and while the process was going on I said ta the doctor, "Wasn't it a wonderful thing for the Lions Club ta take such an interest and make this happiness?" "Indeed it was," answered the dactor. Then I added, -Isn't it mnarvel- louis what scicntists have accomp- lished? How thankful we oughit ta be for mcn like youi who havý,e been willing ta sacrifice timie, energy, patience and skill." Very modestly he replied, "Ycs, indeed, but you must remnembet' the credit goes ta a Higher Power that inspires ah aour efforts. We are but the instruments that make this power possible." As we walked home arni in arm, I mused "Can any good thing came out o! Nazareth? Yes, ini- deed, for the doctor, too, was a Jew."1 RAMONA RUTH. Obituary WVESIEY R. CAMPBELL Wrsley R.
