frozen fields sleep neath the snow and wild things seek resort when woodlands stand so bleak and bare when days are short when days are short and little streams slip noiselessly along beneath their icy frostcapped coats while silent is their song when lakes no longer glint the sun no boats sail to each port and gulls half starved scream over head when days are short tis then at eve when darkness falls one seekis his fireside chair with all the lamlly gathered round the warmth of home to share then thankful hearts appreciate that sheltering dear home port when all outside is cold and chill

will faithful be his promise stands forever a bowman correspondence r r no 2 rockwood feb lth 1040 dear mr editor ii has always been the practice of political parties in canada to keep the affairs of veterans and soldiers out of politics and to adjust any matters relating to them in a non political way both the liberal and conservative leaders in the past have agreed not to use veteran and soldier problems as stepping stones to political glory therefore i take exception to the conservative candidate using these words vou have seen the treatment accorded our gallant troops and the neglect of their wives mothers and children for the information of mr atkins and the public generally i wish to give the results of an investigation which mr atkins apparently failed to make in dealing with enlisted men in the forces there are quite a number of cases where the domestic status does not ring true on their papers and these are held up for investigation of such things as common law wives di vorc bigamy se non sup port of parens wives children and many other things which make up do mestlc tangles these things may seem at a casual glance to be of minor importance where subsistence is asked but they involve huge expenditures of public money for instance where a boy who has or has not maintained lus parents gets killed or wounded in volves the payment of pension for periods of years again where a mar ried man obtains allowance for his wife and children on his death or in jury pension must be paid and it is possible that taking the extreme of a long living deformity case in one of the children that pension would be paid for ninety or one hundred years prom this very meager sketch ttu public can see that the government is doing a good job hi seeing that all those who drew dependence
