John Catron, Dear Mr. and Mrs. N. S. McNally: The last time my ship was in Halifax, a number of generously filled bags came aboard. I was the recipient of one of those igs and in it was your name and address, and 1 am writing this letter of thanks for all the good things it contained. Everybody on the ship received similar bag and it put me in mind of the old time Christmas -mornings when as children we awoke very early and went to see what Santa Claus had brought us. There was' a great comparing of presents and sampling of one another's cake and candies. I hope the boys won't forget to put their words of warm appreciation into writing and letting the various donors know how they feel towards such kind-hearted thoughtfulness. These words of thanks may seem a long time in reaching you as we were at sea again before we knew that good old Santa had been aboard. Again thanking you for your generosity, I am, Yours gratefully, James McDonald, Chief Engineer. The above is an acknowledgement to an address placed in a ditty bag filled by Mr. and Mrs. McNally, with the following drawings at the bottom of the letter. The plates were supplied by Bomac Engravers Ltd., of Toronto. R.C.A.F. GROUP IN PREDICAMENT The plight of the R.C.A.F. men discharged to Class "E" reserve, was brought to the attention of government departments recently when it was pointed out that, as a result of their being subject to call at any time, employers were reluctant to engage the air force men ahead of civilians and men discharged in the ordinary manner. While these men are apparently entitled to all benefits of the rehabilitation program, the general secretary of the Legion pointed out to the Ministers of Labour, Veterans' Affairs and National Defence for Air, they find themselves unable to take advantage of many parts of the program because of their still being subject to call. "It can well be imagined," the letter continued, "that they may take steps that will actually lead to a partial or complete wastage of rehabilitation benfits and it is our view that, as long as they are held in reserve, subject to call at any time, pome special provision should be made for them It seems to the Legion that as long as the R.C.A.F. maintains a holding relationship with re- THE WAYSIDE CHURCH "And I saw a little Wayside Church." --Grayson. Our Text-- "He went out not knowing where he was going."--Heb. 11: 8. "Abraham believed God."-- James 2 : 23. Our Verse-- "Lead us Oh Father, to Thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be, Through joy or sorrow as Thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected Thee."--D. H. Burleigh. Our Sermon-- If the text had read that Abraham went out with a plan of the way in his hand we might understand his confidence a bit more, but we could not remember his faith. He went out not knowing where he was going, how he was get there, or what it would be like when he got there--but--"he believed God. Such a description could be given of every life that is lived by faith in God. We know what to-morrow holds for us, nor even what an hour may bring forth, but because we believe God, and believe that He is wise and that He loves us, we are not afraid of what lies at the end of the road. "Aren't you afraid to travel all alone?" a lady asked a little chap on the train, going out to the country, "oh, no ma'am," said he serenely, "mother said that my grandad would be at the station and I know he will."

'While no doubt many of these men will find temporary employment, which will postpone their utilization of rehabilitation benefits, nevertheless, we think that some more satisfactory action should be taken by the K C.A.F., Department of Veterans' Denaxtmenl of Labour to &;e that none of these men will suffer because of their present status. RECEPTION FOR NEWLY-WEDS A reception for Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Grant was held at the home of Mrs. Grant's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E Rowsome, on Thursday evening, last week. Mrs. R. M. Bresee and Mrs. B.

Teal gave the greater part of the program, rep-representing three women of our day talking together of the tragic events in the present crisis, torn between the despair of futility and the upsurge of faith in man's destiny. One leans for strength on religion as she has been taught it; one has been embittered by the tragedy of life; the third has insight into the relation of religion to tragedy.

Are they the foods we want to eat because we like them best? Possibly, but not probably; however they are the foods that the nutrition authorities, after thoughtful study, have selected on a weekly basis as a pattern for a balanced Canadian diet. At the start of the war, the Canadian Council on Nutrition at Ottawa drafted a set of Food Rules to better our country's health standards, for now it is time to begin to prepare a sturdy and effii-cient young Canada for the role she must fill in the future. Dietry surveys conducted throughout the Dominion in 1939 and 1940 showed a glaring need for a reform in food habits at all income levels. In view of this it was decided that a working knowledge and practical application of sound nutrition should be presented to every citizen, so the Council drew up this list of recommended protective foods. Eat them all every day and you'll be getting the right foods ! Canada's Foods For Health 1 Milk--Adults, ^ to 1 pint. Chilli pints to one quart. 2 Fruit--One serving of citrus fruit or tomatoes, or their juices, and one serving of other fruit. 3 Vegetables--At least one serving of potatoes; at least two servings of other vegetables, preferably leafy, green or yellow, and frequently raw. 4 Cereals and Bread--One serving of a whole grain cereal and at least four slices of Canada Approved Vitamin B bread (whole wheat or white) with butter. 5 Meat and Fish--One serving of meat, fish, poultry or meat alternates such as beans, peas, nuts, eggs or cheese.

If you are interested in obtaining a will chart to hang in the kitchen for a daily reminder of the best Foods for Health, city residents may drop line to or call their local Medical Officer of Health.
