the ontarioquobec division of the c wj4a the editors corner a letter from home the copies of the herald which go out from thia office every week to those former residents who now live at some distance from their home town are wrap ped in a cheery cover bearing the phrase a weekly letter from the folks in georgetown glen williams inorval stewarttown limehouse ashgrove ballinafad and terra cotta we try to live up to this inscription by making the herald just as newsy as we possibly can but the impersonal way in which a newspaperman must report the doings of a community can never quite equal a per gonal letter containing news from one sender to one receiver as the christmas season approaches we should think of our friends whom we no longer see every day on the street those whose work has taken them to other parts of canada and into foreign coun tries and particularly those who are serving with the forces of his majesty both in canada and abroad a letter from home helps bridge the gap and fills a littlecorner of the loneliness which they must all share in some measure some of these men are spend ing their firs christmas away from home that is something which is unavoidable and no alteration can be made we can make the separation more pleasant if we write them a letter tell them that we miss them and give them all hose bits of news in which they are interested and which never finds its way into the pages of their local newspaper then when weve broken the ice with a christ mas letter dont let it stop at that write them often make your letters long and interesting filled with the things that they are interested in those of us who have lived away from home can realize what a letter from home means to the absent one its the least ex pensive material gift yet the most costly in value that you can send to your friends in uniform airgraph messages the latest means of getting a message quickly to a soldier overseas is the airgraph message system which was inaugurated last monday this was first introduced to overcome difficul ties and delays of ordinary mail service between the british forces in the middle east and their friends and relatives in great britain the time and space conserv ing possibilities of airgraph recommended the system to canadian postal authorities and they were soon con vinced that it would be an enormous boon to getting news to the men overseas for the present airgraph service will not apply to civilian addressees in the old land a person wish ing to send a message may obtain a special form at the post office a single sheet which has a special space reserved for the written message and another for the address the post office recommends that black mk be used as this reproduces better than colored inks each airgraph message will be prepaid at a fee of 10c and must be handed in unfolded at the postal wicket the messages will be sent to toronto where they will be photographed in miniature on microfilm the films will be sent by plane to eng land where an enlargement will be made of each mes sage and delivered to the addressee just like an ordinary letter recruiting rally in company with a number of newspapermen and municipal

boxing matches and foot races physical education drill and even a bunch of the girls from ritzin the blitz he hilarious army show which has become successor to the dumb bells of great war fame b k sandwell editor of saturday night spoke briefly concerning his recent trip to england with a press party invited as guests of the ministry of infor mation m it is too bad that everyone in the district could not have an opportunity of seeing such a show in our opinion touring companies might be formed to present it in other cities and towns in the district in order to acquaint everyone with how the army works and what a soldiers life is like a good dinner on saturday morning the visitors were taken to the small arms training centre at long branch where demonstrations were given on the ranges ofme various small arms being used by the army medium machine guns 2 and 3 inch mortars bren guns anti tank and antiaircraft rifles and submachine guns were all on display and their use demonstrated at noon the delegates messed with the troops and ate the regular army meal no change had been made in the days rations and if they were a sample of what the soldier eats every day he can have no kick on that score soup potatoes and meat vegetable pie tea and plenty of bread and butter made as good a meal as one could desire afterwards those who wished were invited to ride in a universal carrier we availed ourselves of this opportunity which we missed last week when two of these versatile machines visited georgetown in con nection with the- war weapons drive and its some- arid manoeuvrability is
