Sinclair of Goward skidded inte the gasoline pumps in front of the Robertson Garage. The pumps of the twin variety, were both snapped off by the impact and in some way the gasoline, 10 gal- lons in each, was set alight, caus- ing a fire that sent flames soaring 30 to 40 feet in the air and setting the building alight.

The building was a metal- sheeted one and the fire was a difficult one to fight, residents of There are many of the local men serving with the armed forces in different parts of Can- ada who have got home on an eight-day Christmas leave, Dur- ing the past few days we have met with Corp.

Two of the first to come in were enthusiastic notes from Alex Dunn, who wishes he could express his appreciation more adequately, and trom Bert McNaught who says in part "T know that you are all working hard for the boys overseas, but don't worry We are all thinking of you. My socks and sweater are lovely, and fit my hody right to:the mark. The lady whe did the knitting must know me. When any of the boys get a parcel over here it is just like a bunch of kids round 2 Christmas tree, waiting to see what you get." In closing he adds, "Keer your fingers crosed for the boys over- seas." In a newsy letter Tom Popple- ton tells us, "Socks are one of our big- gest worries. Keeping them dry is really a problem, as boots have a habit of leaking for some reason. The little toque is just the thing for wear be- neath the tin hats. They have an aw- ful habit of wearing the hair off. Sc all in all you hit the nail on the head with your parcel" Letters have also arrved from Keith Reavell, Peter Paquette, Emil Hamer- ton, all expressing their great pleausre and appreciation of the parcels re- ceived. 1S] SSS.
