manmade inst ances that are as full of promise as the flowers that bloom and tbe birds that sing in iqttgland church bells j are ringing onn i caln this time for easter bringing i me to the british the message of aster more poig nantly than ever before and in canada well did you bap- pen to be at any railway station dur ing the holiday if you did then you possibly realise there were plenty of folk going home for the holidays meeting people from a train has al ways given me a thrill there is that tense moment of excitement as tbe great throbbing monster appro the station and you wonder fa she or be really on that train or has she or he by some unlucky chance managed to miss it and then the engine sqowh chugs to a atop tbe trainman steps aside and if pouve hucky somewhere in that crowd des cending the steps 5ou see your visi tor thais how it was with me yes terday daughter had phoned that tihe vould be out and i think nearly half the people in town roust also have had rtwww rati front their friends and relatives the tram was late half an hour late but fin ahy my patience was rewarded and in among a crowd of people i saw a green bat moving towards me k content see the wearer but thing seemed to tefl me that that green hat was daughter and she was she bad to go back that same ighf but its w 1 1 tfwt how much mm i sllmi you can ciowd into a few hours when you have to all last week i was houseeleanlng upstairs and i finished by job by making up three beds ahough i had no idea whether anyone would be there to occupy any of them daugb ter was the first to come and co mext week we rather think our son will be here there is also a dance in tbe neighborhood this coming fri day and that usually means young vohn will blow in around supper time yesterday i heard the dog barking and from the window i saw a soldier- boy swinging along the road and whistling away as if he hadnt a care in the world for a minute i thought it was bob but no he went on pact the gate and up the road just an other boy homeward bound happy to be free happy in the knowledge that his home was there to come toj and a welcome awaiting him no mat ter when he came or whether his c was expected or unexpected so many boys so many uniforms so much to do cod speed the day when these same boys may come swinging along tbe toad whistling u ami not in uniforms of ornribr hue but la tweeds and svhipoards in ilars dear to the heart of youth with ties and socks that cry to high heaven in brightest of tones defying all color schemes but yet satisfying that inward urge for selfexpr when m young lad feel his oats we dont know when that day will come but we do know bow we can help to hasten it you understand what i fnean donx yout ton know i that it is no use our boys leaving home to help fight this spar unless they have the tools to right with but tools equipment and am munition cost money the govern meal is relying on us the fathers mothers wiv and sw or perhaps just friends and neighbors to supply that money so when you see a boy swinging along the road as i didesterday whether it be your boy or a neighbor boy just remem er he depends on you to help him finish the job whenthe time comes for him to attack don let him remember the folks bark home with bitterness and despair because they failed to back the attack but of course that wont happen you couldnt let it happen erpild you tbe boys who leave home deserve more than that dont theyt a let ter from home to a boy over there telling him ou had gone all out for victory bonds would surely be one way of telling him you are doing your part to bring him home again wlen the job is done be sure fleece dry when shearing at sheep shearing time it is fanport- ant that the fleece be in favorable condition the wool
