Champ,* chairman, has acknowledged with appreciation the carload of fruit and vegetables shipped from Colborne on October 31st. 1936, in a letter to Mr. G. R. Keys, who was chairman of the Colborne Committee, which comprised representatives of the several church congregations of the village. Residents of the adjoining Townships of Cramahe and Haldimand contributed generously, as well as the people of the village. In a bulletin accompanying the letter the Saskatchewan Committee acknowledges receipt of 981 carloads or fruit vegetables, etc., during the years 1932 to 1937, of which 332 cars went from Ontario, British Columbia being second with a total of 220 during the same period. The Acknowledgement Regina. Sask., Jan. 21, 1937 Mr. G. R. Keys, Colborne, Ont. Dear Mr. Keys: On behalf or the members of our Committee and the Government as well as our citizens we want to express through you to all those who assisted in any way our very sincere appreciation for the carload of fruit and vegetables which was shipped to Alaska, Sask.. leaving Colborne on October 31st. I want to assure you that the delay in this, acknowledgement in no way reflects any lack of appreciation on the part of those who benefited from your contribution. Our committee is a purely, volutary one and at THE BULLETIN U^e particular time when the cars i being shipped, it is a big task jjflve same routed and distributed, soon as the cars have been distributed, the cold weather is here a: »d we have to turn out attention to tlje clothing problem. Strange as it may seem, after six of continuous solicitation on tr|e part of our committee, the people ■ Sister Provinces seem more ready and willing to assist in relieving our suffering than ever before. The past seven years have been very trying ones for our Province, due not only to continued crop failures in most districts, but other problems such as rust, frost, hail, etc., and while both the Provincial and Federal Governments are to be congratulated for their efforts in handling relief, the task is so large and the needs so many that it is almost impossible for them to meet all the necessary requirements of the people. It is then we realize so emphatically what the contributions of foodstuffs and clothing mean and it gives our people new hope to carry on when they realize that their fellow citizens throughout the Dominion are interested in their welfare. We hope and pray that at some not too distant dite Saskatchewan may be in a peeition to return some of the kindness that has been shown her less fdrtiunate citizens. fWith all good wishes for 1937, Your very sincerely.
