LETTERS FROM DUTCH FAMILY TELL
CRISIS OF CONDITIONS in HOLLAND

were already signals that the
ferries had lost the war. AS you
know that we kept life, during the
war, an flower bulbs and sugar
beets, and that those were not
almost to get anymore, our allies
took bombers to drop food par
GELS. They dropped them on the
airfield where people of the food
supply gathered to distribute. Be-
fore those days we were always
afraid when we heard the bonn
bers approaching, for The Hague
was a base of vi rockets. So
you understand we have heard
some bombs howl. Zone day a
bomb fell on the square before
our house, all our windows were
broken and it lasted about 112
years before we got new window
panes.) But those days the bonn
bers flew at an altitude of about
SO meters. Everyone was waving
with his hanky and flags. The
Germans looked to that all with
very angry faces, especially to
our flags, but they didn't do any
thing. On the evening of May 4
we heard a radio message from
England that the German troops
in Holland surrendered. Nobody
was allowed to come on the streets
after 8 p. m. but this evening after
this message at 8:15 p. m. all the
streets were crowed. Everybody
was cheering and dancing till
the Germans came and began to
shoot. So at 8:45 p. m. nobody was
on the streets anymore. But the
following day the surrender had
become officially and then every
body hung out their flags. 1t was
a beautiful view to see our own
flag after 5 years.
First Americans In
"On May 6 the first few Amer
lean tanks came rolling into the
Hague. You couldn't see the tanks
anymore for they were covered
with singing Dutch people. II

The county office has resumed
the issuance of purchase orders
for lime, and many farmers of
the county are taking advantge
of this service. Under this plan
the co-operator is given a pur-
chase order to be presented to
his dealer who will receive pay
ment through AAA to the amount
of the township credit rate, The
remainder is to be paid by the
farmer.
Approximately 10000 tons of
lime was approved in the county
for payment under the 1947 ACP
program. The delivery and appli-
cation of this material will be
big problem, and the farmers
who desire to carry out this prac-
tice are urged to contact their
dealers and arrange for delivery
as soon as possible.
1t will also speed the progress
of the program if farmers will
report to the County Office when
they have completed the practices
for which they were approved, as
this will allow the submission of
applications for payments at an
earlier date.

|, Interesting accounts of life in
Holland, and the effects of the
, war years on that country, are
contained in letters received from
time to time by Mrs. Dalton Crist,
Collins ave., from Mr.. and Mrs.
Lans Verneulen-de Warle, of The
Hague, Holland.
Mrs. Crist began corresponding
with the couple about a year ago
when she noted request from
them in an American magazine
for someone in this country to
write to. She wrote Mr.. and Mrs.
de Warle and received a reply
almost at once. Since then, there
have been many letters exchanged
between the two families.
MIR. de Warle is a government
employee, an Inspector of buses
and street cars. Their use of Eng
lish grammar, while marked with
phraseology which might seem
awkward to the average slang
minded American, is excellent.
Princess Birthday
Their most recent letter to
Mrs. Crist reads in part as fol-
lows: .
Dear Friends.
''It is already a few weeks ago
when we got your letter. Earlier
we had no time to write. So
please excuse us. We got your
letter to late to write for your
birthday, but we hope you had a
nice day. Your birthday is one
day before the one of our Prin-
cess Juliana. There were many
flags and in the evening all large
buildings in town were lightened
with orange, red, white and blue
(our national colors, you know?)
floodlights. Just this week the
flower bulb time ended. Every
year it's a nice veiw. Ann (MrS.
de Warle, who then expects
baby didn't see it for she cannot
travel anymore. But had to go
for business by train and car. Yes,
that's one thing you haven't over
there; really it's worth much to
see. So thought Rita Hayworth, a
film star from the U. S. A. She
just visited Holland, when it
was flower bulb time. So she
went to the bulb district and as
the bulb-growers just had growed
a new-type of tulip they call this
type the Rita Hayworth'. Funny,
isn't it?

for Ann for the enemies killed
her father and brother. They
were also underground workers
and had the accident to be taken
