very proud of George for joining, so
glad the Whitford family is represented

not so sure that am so pleased, still
| am looking on the bright side and
hoping it means visit home, and by
the time he has had several months
drilling ard it is time to 90 the front,
the war will be ended No doubt his
land will be looked after and it will be
given back to him. Percy wrote they
were sorry to give George up. as they
were willing TO pay him higher wages
Than others could get Just TO have
him about the place On account Of his
checrfuness. NJ. Whitford and the

London Like Old COwheeI

London at night is strange sight, or
rather you cannot see for looking, in
stead Of being brilliantly Illuminated it
resembles Cowheel in the times of Mr.
BohIer's lantern; all lights are turned
out or shaded SO that only dim light
is left for traffic and pedestrians;
huge, beautiful stores and shop win
dows have a dim light or few candles
in them, and then the awnings are
pulled down SO as to shade. All this is
done so the German airmen and Zsppe
Inns cannot locate London, should they
try to drop bombs on important build
ings.
