Dear Sir, â€" Will ycu, through the medium of yuur valuable p»>per, express our appreciation of, and gratitude to all who have shown their sympathy with us in such a practical way. The tokens received have been so numerou.s and varied as Ij make a peis>'Ual answer impossible. This w«8 as unexpected as the 111 e which gave opporlupi.y fi r ir, and cf course ii tinitely more welcome. Theie are two things that must remali. a inysteiy to us. The first is the origin of tne tire, and hs to this we have not even a suspicion. The second, 'he almosr miraculous way In which the buildings were saved. It is very evident to us all that the boys who did their hit during war tunes have lost none of their bravery or spirit of self sacrifice, and that those wh<i he'.i on at heme are a» capable as ever.
