arrived home last tuesday he managed to get as far as toronto and hitchhiked from there since he ran out of runds which isnt surprising as travelling from vancouver isnt exactly easy on the pocket but of course a llttle matter like that doesnt worry a boy in the army bob was home about noon and by two oclock he was in overalls and on the tractor the next day lite tractor was given a real over hauling and was then ready for ac tion if and when the bind should ever dry up and we really thought seeding would soon be underway as thursday and friday if you remem ber were lovely days and then it mined again but that or course is nothing to write home about it would he news now if it didnt rain my theme tiong as i worked in the garden thoiu two days was never mind tomorrow its n lovely day to day v i was glad of a cluineo to work out side ns there was and is so much to do and no doubt my tools looked as if 1 really meant hujjness axe saw rake and clippers you see 1 was trimming- cherry trees and denning out the little seedlings that lind grown up during the hut two years also anything else in slcht that i thought would be better nut of the way including poplar saplings some of the cherry trees were dead or nearly dead and there was nothing for it hut to cut them down but sometimes it was not necessary i was giving one such tree a hit of a shake to test its solidity when it broke off at the root and fell into the ditch i went with it and the ditch was wet partner was working near by fixing up a henpen and when he saw what i was doing i came in for n folding which didnt worry we a hit after supper i was at it uruiu and worked until dark the next morn ing everything was soaking and still raining so i was glad i worked out side when x could with the season so lute i guess that is the only thine to do these days work outside when its fine and inside when its wet that is for those who want to help outside ahd who doesnt with life birds singing und flowers and shrubs showing promise of new life it is a heartening job and then there is that little bit of early carden that has to be put in with head lettuce selling at twentynine cents apiece these days we shall set a new value on the first crispy leaves of lettuce that we pick from our garden it may be a good thing that vegetables have been so high in price this win ter i can think of no hotter incen tive for planting a victory garden than eabhnge at nineteen cents a pound thank goodness asparagus is just coming in also dandelion greens so we dont need to go short on our vitamins saturday i hud the offer or a ride to guelph and took it it was some time since i hud shopped in any of our nearby cities and i noticed quite change the shelves and fixtures seemed to be full of merchandise and the stores full of people but most of them including myself apparently were shopping for things they could nt get i wanted work shirts for partner well you could buy work shirts hut oh dear such shirts it would be better to call them blouses for there wasnt enough tat to make them shirts i hunted around until i found a good piece of shirting and brought that home instead also print for dresses more work judging from what i saw there is a greater shortage of essential goods than non essentials but you cant always tell for things are not always what they seem for instance titer were grand looking chocolates in one store window and i thought i would take some for partner- since sugar ration ing came in we sometimes get a crav ing for something sweet but when i asked for chocolates the counter- girl said they hadnt any but you have some tn the window i exclaim- id oh those the girl answered tvlth a grin they are just wood camouflage a feast for the eyes but not the palate but there was one thing that 1 saw that wasnt camouflage no sir it was the real thing very small but it meant a lot and that was a little shield which men were wearing on the lapel of their coats and women on their dresses a small token which seemed to say i have done i my part what about you we have all heard wonderful news these last few days victory in tunisia j eighty thousand prisoners taken i doesnt that
