LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS FROM MAC SNELGROVE Calgary, July 30, 194 Dear Miss Padginton: I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for sending me the Colborne papers, which I am receiving regular each week. It is very nice to be kept posted on all the news of my home town and I truly appreciate it. In the last issue I pleased to read that the annual street fair and dance had been such a j cess. It's a few years now since I've j been there for the event, but I hops to attend one again some day. Also I glad to know that dad was the winner j of one of the prizes. Am taking advanced training in the Canadian Infantry Corps here at Cur-| lie Barracks and I'm sure it is one of the finest training centres in Canada. The camp is beautifully laid out--I wish you could see it with its shrub-filled boulevards and flower boardered walks. Our huts are all new and are either steam or gas heated. We. have spotless mess halls and our cooks certainly know how to prepare meals. They have a school for them in the camp (men and the C.W.A.C.) so that probably accounts for our eating so well. I am quite proud of our 2 I.C. in "B" company, since he is Capt. Jack Armstrong, whom I'm sure everyone in Colborne knows. I knew Jack was back in Canada from overseas, but did not know he was stationed in Calgary until I met him one afternoon at the canteen during a rest period. The same evening I had quite a visit with him and his wife at their home here in the city. It was really grand to meet someone from that I knew from home. I have taken a couple of trips to the Rockies. The first to Lake Louise and the second to Banff. The scenic beauty of the mountains, especially at Lake Louise, is indescribable. It is something I will remember for a long time--one just couldn't forget it. This coming weekend I hope to go there again, only this time I'm sure I'll enjoy it even more as Keitha will be with me. She is spending her holidays here this summer and I think I'm, safe in saying 1 to be enjoyable with so and wonderful places to I have approximately one month to go before completing advanced training. At the end of that time I hope to take a course, either here or at Camp Borden. However, in the army one can be certain of nothing. One thing I am definitely sure of is that I like the change from indoor shift work to outdoor life. It has been very agreeable so far as health is concerned. Must close now, Miss Padginton, and answer some of the other letters I owe to people at Colborne and Gait. Hope this finds you enjoying the best of health, and again many thanks for your thoughtfulness in sending me the local news.

Sorry I have delayed so long in writing to you, but the time seems to pass so quickly that I don't get time to write anyone. As you will see by my new address, I have changed regiments. I don't like this outfit as well as I did the Hastings and Prince Edward, but in time of war one must make these changes. There were five of us came from Brampton to Niagara. We understood we would be going overseas in two weeks, but after we got here we found that all the men here --if you can call them men--are not active. In other words they are "Zombies" and they seem quite proud of the fact, but perhaps they will change in time. We were all Sergeants when we came here, but had to loose a stripe, so now I am a Corporal, but hope to get my stripe back soon. However, I don't mind so long as we go overseas soon. For an N.C.O. to instruct for four years is much too long, as one's nerves give out and it makes one too hard. I am very glad to receive the papers, Miss Padginton, as they keep me in the know around Colborne, which helps a lot. I have made my home at Lindsay, where my wife and children are now. We are all in good health and getting along fine. I hope the next letter to you will be from England. I'll say good-bye for now. Hope you are ful. Services were conducted • Church, Rev. Wm.

"What are your speculations now sir?" his friends asked Sir Michael Faraday as he lay dying. "I have none," was the confident reply. "I'm resting on certanties now." "When darkness hides His lovely face, I'll rest on His unchanging Grace; In every high and stormy gale, Thy Anchor holds within the Veil." --E. Mote.

Amen.
