The bride is a graduate of To- ronto University and the groom of McGill University and King's, Halifax, and is grandson of Mr. Wm. Painton of Bowmanville. said, "The common people of China are the backbone of the country. They are quick, clever, and industrious. They are work- ing for the same things that the soldiers are fighting for. The China of the past has been weak and disunited because the seat of government has been so far dis- tant that the law could not be upheld. In the China which is being evolved today the peasants are being taught to read simple tracts which are being spread broadcast over the country- tracts on agriculture and the var- ious needful occupations of a peasant people who' have only known how to do things as their forefathers did them centuries be- fore. One of the nicest things in China today is the large number of new homes made by the young people who have been reared in the New China. Today, instead of bound feet, and isolated wo- manhood, the younger women are taking up all sorts of vocations and professions-nursing, teach- ing, flying. They are lawyers, teachers and doctors. She spoke with love and ad- miration of Madame Chiang Kai- shek; of her beauty of face as well as of the beautiful and magnetic personality. Amazing new life has come to China, even in the midst of her sorrow and anguish. Reconstruction, road-building and mass education have gone for- ward in the very teeth of the enemy. Mrs. Mullett bespoke a more sympathetic understanding of the people of China on the part of Westerners-a more sincere in- terest in their problems and in their sorrows.

Dear Mr. James: After two and a half years in England, I think it's about time I wrote ta you thanking you for your wonderful effort towards our comforts over here. In that length of time I think I have only missed a couple issues of The Statesman. It has sure helped in keeping me posted on many of the boys as well as the local events. I look forward ta getting it and read it from stem ta stern. I've been quite fortunate in meeting many of the local lads over here, and have had a chance ta get around ta see a lot of our lads on the sports fields. I met Lieut. Bill Brown at the Cdn. Army Sports finals this year and saw him turn in some good run- ning and jumping. I've seen Scotty Cameron, Lefty Philips, Ron Hooper (all playing together) in action on the ball diamond, as well as our own little C.W.A.C. Pte. Casbourne-Irene ta you. I heard about Ai. Densem being wounded and I wish him a speedy recovery. In case you contact him wish him all the best from the boys here. Well, M. James, I guess we will miss this Christmas in Canada but we'll lay odds we are home for the next one. We can't miss now we have some of our boys in there and the rest of us are still anxious ta be there ta back them up. Let's hope it's soon. Sussex is nice in the spring, so the books all say, but it isn't always spring. Well must be away now. All the best ta you and the staff and Sea- son's Greetings ta all. Respectfully, GNR.
