food administration some little notes
from boys and girls in Scotland They

for the help America has given In the
war. The letters sound just as II
American children had written them.
They tell about the same things to
eat that our boys and girls enjoy

dren across the street, instead OF
across the sea.
William .Faiconer writes: I'VE. the
children of Scotland. beg to thank
the people of America for becoming
an ally of Great Britain. II your ships

most kinds OF foodstuffs are ration

and healthy. We praise your brave
sailors for defying the danger OF
enemy submarines to bring us wheat.
sugar and such like foodstuffs. which
we cannot produce.

and we are charmed to see them in
