About 20 of our Reg't are at the Salerno rest camp, a sweli place situated by the sea, with conveniences of al kinds. Meals are served by Italian waiters and food is excellent. We have a canteen, a recreation room with radio and a shopping district nearby where we get candy, fruit, souvenirs and haircut, shave and shampoo. Swimming is good on a fine beach. ' Have been chumminig up with Jack McEachern of Oshawa, formerly with the Midlands. Tralk about a small world; ran across Jack Kilgannon and Carl Raby in the barber shop and hunted up Ron Richards. Heard about Bill Tait being wounded and we're going to try to see him. To- morrow, Ron, Jake and I plan to go to Naples. Have just heard the news everyone has been wait- ing for, the invasion. Now that the big push is on and we have got Rome it wun't be long till the end. JOHN. Italy, June 8 Dear Dad: How did you like the job we did on the Hitler line? Our regiment played one of the most important parts; with us it was a case of having to break through. My company was in the lead and did a fine job and was congratulated in communications. After the break-through we had a few days to get cieaned up and went on again, with a lot of marching and sore feet. The Lire Valley is a beautiful stretch of country between two mounfains- and is rich in fruit, vegetables, some grain and lots of wine. Travelling down No. 6 highway on leave to Salerno we saw many places of interest, through ruins of twisted steel and bricks that used to be Cassino. Towering above was ' Monastery Hill with the ruins at the top. Went through Naples, Pompeii înd on to the camp. Leave itto the English to organize a camp like this; it has everything. In Naples with Ron and Jake we bought souvenirs and at the NAAFI cor- ner house had cakes, tea and ice cream. Next we will visit the ruins of Pompeii. My thoughts on the second front was that it would be hard going but was re- lieved to hear there wasn't s0 much fire as at the Sîcilian land- ing. Will be sending along some souvenirs and am putting in some native nuts with the other stuff. JOHN. Local Lady Eboctor Featured In New World Magazine Pictured on page 17 of the New World, ultra.illustrated maga- zine, a high class publication in the style of "Life" appears Dr. Dorothy James, daughter of Mrs. James and the late N. S. B. James, Bowmanviile. Accompanying the picture is a story of the work carried on in the Toronto Babies' Clinic, with which Dr. James is associated as an expert in that field. This clinic is devoted to social welfare and its. major concern is attention to children without homes and the waifs laid on door- steps due to the incidence of war. Thus socîety has learned to em- phasize understanding and help, rather than ostracîsm and punish- ment. Children in these circum- stances are taken into the clinic, surrounded with the best of care and given out into the care of childless homes. Foster parents a r e allotted from $18 to $32 monthly for board and children continue to receive clinical care and clothing. Or- ganizations learn of cases by direct appeai or through hospi- tais and through this means, children are sought and given care. Many childiess homes are brightened and happy to receive these homeless chiidren and in most cases they are adopted. The work is challenging, the satisfac- tion boundiess and the need in wartime is evet on the increase. Doctors, nurses, and clinic per- sonnel, generally are carrying on a fine patriotic service.

On the ýasis of our resources and potentialities of ail kinds On- tario could support a population of 25,000,000 people and provide social security of the most au- thentic and substantial kind, Premier George Drew declared last week.
