R. NAYLOR, Manager. EXTRA RATIONS FOR FARM HELP The farmer's family need not share their rationed commodities with those helping out on farm labour. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board have arranged, to issue coupons to cover the number of meals served to the extra help. Applications for these coupons should be made at the Local Ration Board. The Board has endeavoured to make it as easy as possible for the busy farmer's wife to obtain these extra rations. The application calls for only essential facts, such as the amount of work done, the number of men employed, the number of days they will be working, etc. Those who are employing workers for a period of two weeks or longer should ask their hired help for their own ration books as soon as they arrive. Rationed foodstuffs must purchased for them with coupons from their books. Life-giving plasma journeys to the fronts in fibre shipping containers made from waste paper. VISITORS TO U.S.A. "Canadians planning to spend their holidays in the U. S. this summer vhen border-crossing restrictions are more simplified, need not take their ration books out of the country with them," said Fred C. Butt, Ontario Superintendent of rationing. Upon entry into the U.S., visitors 'rom this country will be supplied with ration points if they apply to the nearest War Price and Rationing Board in the city or town where they z re holidaying. Points adequate for the duration of their stay will be provided, Mr. Butt explained. "If Canadian visitors plan to remain :n the U. S. more than 60 days, they will be given a regular American war ration book, but under the circumstances, they must turn in their Canadian ration book to the authorities "Visitors to the U. S. for more than 60 days may also apply for canning sugar allowance in that country." LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS FROM BOB LINDLE Camb Borden, July 30, 1944 Dear Miss Padginton : I have finally managed to write you aletter. It is about time I thanked vou for the papers, as they are very much appreciated. They are a great help in keeping up-to-date With the home news, as we do not get all the news in our letters. We have just came back from a scheme and pretty tired, but thought I had better write a short letter anyway. It is rather nice up here, but some-limes like the Sahara dessert, boys say. I have met a lot of old friends here. Clarke Chatterson and Clarence Miller are up here, some from Cobourg, and some boys I knew down East. It rained every night for the past three or four nights we had to sleep under the trees and make a shelter of some kind for ourselves. I suppose Colborne is just us busy as ever, but I don't seem to find much to do around there. I have made quite a few friends here and we all stick together. is nearly time for lights but now, so will close thanking you again for the papers. Yours truly, Bob Lindle.
