Bundles From Britain — Letters From England — Received by Anaheim Lady A bundle from Britain—a letter from across the sea—was received last week by Mrs. Ellen Powell of 907 N. Lemon St., from her sister-in-law in Maidstone in Kent, 30 miles southeast of London. Mrs. Hermitage, the sister-in-law, writes, "As regards food please do not worry about us over that as we get quite enough. We do not get much meat but that doesn't hurt us. We have a big garden and grow plenty of vegetables and I think the population as a whole is much more healthy." TELLS RATIONS "Our ration of meat per person per week is one shilling's worth (about 21c)," the letter continues. "We often have meatless days but we get plenty of bread that isn't rationed; we get two ounces of cheese, two ounces of butter, four ounces of margarine and two ounces of lard. Each person per week gets two ounces of tea. We also get half a pound of jam or marmalade a month and a half a pound of sugar a week," Mrs. Hermitage writes. The Englishwoman belongs to one branch of the women's institute, of which there are 2000 branches in England. The government has worked up a scheme for jam-making in which these branches aid. "They allow us the sugar and set the price of the fruit. Then we buy it from the people in the cottages, if they have any to spare, and make it into jam. The government buys it back to sell for the ration, to ease the load on the factories," she explains. While writing the letter, a raid letter goes on. In a letter written on April 26 by Mrs. Powell's cousin, E. E. that are doing so much for us. I can tell you we have appreciated what you are all doing for us—it is wonderful. CHURCH STILL STANDS Mrs. Powell inquired in her last letter whether or not the church where she was married was still standing. In answering, her friend says, "It was strange you should ask about the Faversham church. It is wonderful with its lovely spire and has not been damaged at all yet. But three minutes from there on East St. and on Newton Rd., all the corner house are down and on the other side, all the shops are down. The schools and church are still all right." The English have a "Mothering Sunday" which corresponds to our "Mother's Day." Mrs. Horn told how on that day she attended church and the siren sounded and planes roared overhead. She thought, "Well, if they mark the church and anything happens, what better place could one be in. CHILDREN UNFRIGHTENED "The children are splendid. I did not notice any looking frightened and the service went on. One lovely sight—the choir boys came and stood along the altar and sang 'Home Sweet Home.' I felt my eyes a bit wet seeing them standing there singing that lovely song." In closing, Mrs. Horn wrote, "The siren is going again. Well, if the man with the little mustache tries to invade, he will find more than he bargained for. I am staying put what ever happens." Which somehow sums up the English spirit as the British people continue their fight to defend their homes and "all that goes with "They allow us the sugar and set the price of the fruit. Then we buy it from the people in the cottages, if they have any to spare, and make it into jam. The government buys it back to sell for the ration, to ease the load on the factories," she explains. While writing the letter, a raid letter goes on. In a letter written on April 26 by Mrs. Powell's cousin, E. E. Cornelius of Rochester, about 20 miles from the capitol, a bit of the English spirit is reflected. 5000 KILLED IN MAY "There were over 5000 killed during May in raids on this country, besides the wounded," the warning was sounded but "it only lasted 15 minutes," she writes. "We get under the stairs when the raids are on," he writes, "but now the summer is coming, we shall sleep in the shelter again and trust in God to take care of us and if we do go under we know we are doing it for a good cause. WINNING SPIRIT "I for one am not afraid to die, for if we win, which I know we shall in the end. we will make a better world for our children's children to live in and that is hat makes us stick to it without moaning. None the less, we shall all be glad when this war is finished and we can once more enjoy life as we used to." FRIEND BELITTLES RAIDS Mrs. Horn, who lives in Faversham, 48 miles from London, where Mrs. Powell was born and married, writes that she is "o.k. in spite of all the 'little' going on." "We would all undergo any hardship to know we are helping our splendid men and your too CLASSIFIED HIGHLIGHTS • Rents are getting scarce. For the better type, see class.
