Their singing was marked by enthusiasm and clear expression; especially in an cight-part chorus, "Jesus, Our Lord, W ¢ Adore Thee." . CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Mrs. Harper sincerely thank their many friends and neighbours for their lovely floral tributes and kind expressions of sym- pathy during their récent bereavement in the loss of a loving mdther and Auntie. - Extracts from a Letter from Pte. Percy Collins March 22, 1944 Dear Everybody: ' Thank goodness, at last I've heard from you--the first since leaving England, It sure boosted my morale high above the standard. You said you sent one of my letters to be pub- lished.in the paper. I'll have to try and improve my writing. I'll do my best to recompose a bit of poetry about one of the towns I live near. I assure you it will explain the low standard of living of the Italians. The poem will have to bg translated from French into plain English, I just got a letter from Alan. He is still in England and by what he said, I believe he had enjoyed a leave, He was ag surprised to hear that I had landed in Italy as you would be and says he wished he was here with me, You wete asking about the Italian lassies, Mum: They call them Signo- rinag over here and they don't speak a word of English' However, I'm learning the language fast, I ean count in Italian now and talk enough of their lingo to make them wunder- stand . I'll write to ten just for the fun of it. - Hope you understand it: uno, due, tre, quartro, cinqui, sei, sette, otto, nove, dici. They are not pronounced the way they are spelled, Yes, when I get back to Canada, I'll have to have somcone teach me Ca- nadian money and introduce me to the family again. Wish I could send everyday events to you as news, but you know what would happen. The only thing I can think of is that Mount Vesuvius is in eruption again and the weather is very mild with lots of rain. One outstanding thing concerning the wea- ther was that the sun was shining for two days in succession last week. Don't laugh; that's not at all funny. Until 'a later date, good-bye and please keep writing. Love to all, P. G. Collins Port Perry Lions Night" was a real.suc- "capacity" enjoyable "Farmers' cess. The attendance was and the program as throughout. oo The speaker of the evening was Mr. Walter Smallwood, manager of the Refrigeration Division of the Cana- dian General Electric, formerly of the Southern California Iidison Co. lle spoke of "Refrigeration and' Dehydra- tion," It7was a most informing ad- dress, ) Here are some jottings: Germany figures that the side which war; and has seized. all the food pos- sible from occupied countries, Allies have to transport food long dis- {anees, and shipping space is limited. Consequently dehydration is necessary to reduce bulk. ) As 339% of the perishable food is wasted, refrigeration and dehydration are used to stop the wastage, which unchecked is most rapid. Bacteria in milk doubles itself every 30 minutes. Yet, under refrigeration, and dehy- dration, the milk can be powdered, shipped to Africa, and in a few min- utes returned (with the addition of proper ingredients) (to its original whole milk Sate a byfesing drink for any soldier. _. Food can be hydrated to 10% its original bulk and further compressed another 50%. Moisture can be removed until only 39% remains. b tons of dehydrated oranges would supply England for a year. These are just a few items as to de- hydrated food. Refrigeration has medical value in preserving medicines, and in local an- aesthetics for surgical operations. In testing metals for temperature resistance, refrigeration plays a great part. This is a vital requirement in our plane construction as temperature are violent and very rapid. Keeping cutting tools and cutting .|-0il cool; stabilizing - temperature of rivets, and precision items; preserving en route, even temperature of sup- plies to distant parts; these and many other uses are made of refrigeration. We hope to print a full report of this address at a later date.
