hilnliaslam. DssrBin-Iwss very glad to at last find your note amongst the potatoes. Cur cellar is very dark and we had not noticed any paper, but when we heard the neighbors saying they had found some, we searched. You can't im- agine how glad we were to get a car ofpotatoesinhereasthisistho firstwewegotinthisdistrict, s1- though we have had no crop since 1808 and very little in our gardens. This yes-r we had a severe mist in August that killed the potato vines and of course spoiled the po- tatoes. Theywereonlythsliseof marbles what there were, and with the drought it spoiled all the gar- densmndsnylatewheatwaslroren. Many people in here did not thrush one bushel-it has been terrible. In the spring it always looks promis and the crops look fairly good un the end of J1me or July, then you notice yclicw patches which every day increase until our crops are a dirty mottled color. Then it gets greener again, but it is only Russian tblstles coming through that put the finish on the crops, as no one can cut it after that with the binder. The people though, are holding up well considering that they have not had enough to live on for six years, but you can notice it in the buildings, implements, horses, etc. No one can afford to repair any- thing or fced the stock right. Even the pastures have been yellow and dusty all summer. I don’t know whether you have dust storms down there, but it might be a beautiful day, then you notice the horizon with a black streak. Someone says it is going to rain. Very shortly. puﬂs of wind lift little spooks of dust, than you can't see the nelgin bore. A howling wind comes up, you can't see the barn even, it is just like a blizzard only it is dust. When it is over your crops are gone, there is only black soil where everything was so green, but in a day or two everything is green again until it gets 100 in the shade. Then the uncertainty as to whether you are going to get a crop becomes a certainty that you are not, and you somehow feel better about it as soon as you are sure, for then you know what you are up ﬂKﬂln-‘ii Many people luvs left here for the North and Alberta, but they have hard times wherever they go. The potatoes were distributed, two bags of potatoes and one of turnips to every bachelor and according to families. I have six children, mak- ing eight of a family-mi. We got ‘l bogs of pctztocs and 2 cf turnips for which we are truly thankful as we were living on beans. May the Lord bless you people for your kindness. I am yours truly, D. SIDNEY MORGAN. P. s.—The potatoes and turnip.- are just lovely to eat.

Jan. 30, 1935 Dear Mrs. Haslamz-Am thanking you very much for the help you folks are giving by donating clothes. They are n great help to us, and we are thankful for every little bit we get. We are a young married couple, with one darling baby girl. She was s year old on Jan. 8th. It is hard to see the babies grow up and not have the proper clothes, and we ap- , ' c that which other people can spare. How many are there in your fam- ily? Suppose you people were able to have gardens of your own this year. We didn't have anything, not even a crop of any kind. What lit- tle came up the grasshoppers and wind took down so there isn't even feed for the poor stock. Nearly everybody around our dis-

However, I would Just like to pic- ture to all persons in your district who helped in nny way to make this car possible Just what it meant to the recipients. A spectator who watched the unloading of an East- ern car wrote me as follows: "I have from time to time read the varknis press notices having to do with re- lief contributions, unmoxcd, but as I stood and watched that carload of food and clothing being given out, I thought I sow the great Soul of Humanity which good times often keeps hid but which rises supreme and magnificent in times of stress. What wonderful curs these were! no diScﬂfdS-KIO culls-but quantities of high quality vcj;c.:=.i:l-;s. mill; and clothing, hundreds of socks of pots-- toes, carrots, turnips, jars of can- ned and preserved fruit from folk who grew none of their own but would not be left out of the generous gesture. When one sow n car such as this unloaded, possibly into some garage for dsiribuoion, the question would arise, “How could the commit- tee handle this amazing car of food- stuﬂ’, etc." Dozens of icrmcrs stood quietly about. no scramble, n0 eager handling oi’ the supplies they need- ed so badly, speaking quietly as though hushed by the weight of their debt for this kindness. The writer, a former rtsident of Ontario, spent three lvccks in the East in the interests of cur wcrk. The hospitnilty and kindly under- standing of the people in the East is, to soy the least, incomparable, and were the good folk dawn there able to visualize it all, they would be thrilled the happiness occasioned our stricken people. I feel sure that some day this great not: ofiklndncss will be chronicled as one of the most inspirational gestures in Can- adian history. Certainly if Canad- lanism m::\.'.:". m‘ Ping, this means a great deal in the shaping oi’ a. true and loyal national consciousness. With genuine appreciation, we are

Conditions in this immediate dis- trict are at present not favourable. The wheat produced here last year averaged less tlinn 0X19 bushel per acre. About ninety-five per cent oi’ the people of this district are on government relief, and your gift to us helped greatly in this time of need.

The committee here experienced great pleasure in distributing the contanes of the car. and everyone seemed greatly pleased with what they received. Every family mcelvcd potatoes, turnips, carrots and pars- nips. The honey and peanut butter were given to the largest families, and the tins of soup to invalids and sick folks.

Altogether six hundred and sev- onty-five persons received from the contents of the car, and on every hand were heard expressions of watitude and thanksgiving, and these expressions were certainly ‘csrtfelt and sincere. The quality of the goods sent was of the very best, and everything arrived in perfect condition. By the generosity of the people of Charlottetown, burdens here have been made lighter, and consequently hearts have been made happier. ,
