The Guy Cole family enter
tained on Thursday to celebrate
the New Year and in honor of
Grandma Cole’s eighty-ninth
birthday. In spite of the bad
weather all the guests but one ar
rived. There were twenty-eight
present. Guests included the Pat
McGuinis, the John Conard fam
ily, Esther Harris and children of
O’Neill, the Pete Brion family of
Ewing, Mrs. John Anspach, Shir
ley Bates, J. B. Ryan and Patsy
Kruse of O’Neill and M. B. Hoff
man of Elgin.
On New Year day Mr. and Mrs.
Guy Cole received a letter from
“Scotty,” Harry Wark. As so
many Emmet folks and O’Neill
folks know him the letter has
been given to us to publish Harry
or “Scotty’’ as every one knows
him has been in the Army since
the start of hostilities in 1939. He
is now a captain in the British
forces. His letter follows:
HOMEPARK,
ABERDOUR, N. B.
SCOTLAND.
9th December 1941.
Dear Guy and Ethel:
Its a couple of weeks since I
got your letter of 16th October
and haven’t answered it so far.
as I was waiting to hear from
Mary that she had got the Silk
Stockings. Up until four days age
they had not arrived, so 11 guess
you’re right about the Censoi
having some Girl fnonds whe
also require Silk Stockings. Any
way I feel I must write now an.
commiserate with you Friends
now up to the neck in the Shoot
ing War with those little yellow
B__s. I’ve had a lo. of ex
perience of them in business, and
believe me they are the biggest
lot of two-faced Twisters unhung
Thre’s only one consolation I can
find, and that is that everything
that I’ve ever seen them produce
for commercial competition is ab-j
solutely pure rubbish. They cut us
out right and left with this cheap
junk, but the customers soon
found out the worth of it and
came back for something substan
tial in the long run. Well now
I’m hoping that there Battleship,
Equipment, etc., are on a similiai
scale—just cheap rubbish. I’ve
certainly heard it said that thei
Aeroplanes are only good foi
about one good trip here’s hoping
anyway. Now you Boys get your
sleeves rolled up and between us
we’ll lay that ‘'YELLOW PERIL’’
Bogey for good and all.
In your letter you forecast that
Hitler will be in Moscow before 1
receive it. At the moment of writ
ing there’s no signs, and he’s on
the run from Tananogrod in the
South. Actually its rather mira
culous because for some odd rea
son Winter in Europe has not
really arrived. We’ve had a few
little Frosts you know, but real
winter has held off. Its bound tc
come, and after having tasted
five and ten below in Nebraska
once or twice, there’s no man or
Earth going to convince me that
Germans or anyone else car
handle Iron Tanks and hold Steel
Machine Guns, etc., when ZERO
weather is around. I remember the
Spring of 1940 in France we had
a ten day cold snap when Wea
ther was about Zero. I was in an
old Stable with no doors and win
dows and eight other Chaps. We
pooled all our Blankets and just
selpt in a heap, and I’m telling
you if any enemy had come along
with a machine gun, I, for one
would have told him to go ahead
and for God’s sake be quick about
it.
Fighting in the Pacific (what a
name for that Cauldron!) won’t
be so unpleasant from that as

pect, but I suppose the old
Enemys Tyhoid, Typhus etc., will
lend a hand to the Grisly business
L>y the way, all this kind of
Canned Grub from the States is
mighty welcome, but maybe now
it won’t be so plentiful. I got r
tin of ‘‘SPAN” the other day. and
also MOR, put up by Hormels of
someplace in Minnesota. By jovc
it was lovely. You see there was a
time here when things were.pretty
bleak, and there was a joke going
around that there were three
kinds of Bread—Black Bread—
kinds of Bread—Black Bread—
Brown Bread—and Sausage. Well,
there was a lot of truth in that and
you’ve no idea how good your
Tins of Pork Sausage Meat
Taste. We’re rationed of course
still, but there’s plenty Grub to
go around now; in any case I was
getting a bit of a “Kite” on me
and thats all gone now.
By Jove, you make me envious
when you talk about Hunting foi
Ducks and Pheasants. One of
these days I hope I’ll get a crack
at that game again. I ought to be
a better shot by this time! Cer
tainly Guy can have nothing or
his conscience when he goes out
to shoot Pheasants, because I re
member very well, in 1924 1
think it was, he was instrumental,
through the Izaak Walton League
in getting the first Chinese Phea
sants released in Holt County.
Poor old Ward Cosgrove was a
great enthusiast too; extraordin
great enthusiant too; extraordin
ary how he chucked away the
chance to enjoy the Hunting of
them.
Fine I remember Hammy Allen
and sorry to hear he was ill. He’s
had a good Innings anyway, and
I mind how he always was yarn
ing about his Trotting Horses. For
years I had to go to the Races
when traveling around the World
on business—really just to “Show
my Face”, but I always thought of
Hammy then. Never forget Dugal
for buying my fine Saddle off me
for $15.00 one time when I had
been hitting up the Moonshine.
Now that I have Tweedales ad
dress I am writing as the Canad
ians get moved about the Country
quite a lot and we might be close
together. We never could be very
far apart in this Country, as you
know. Your Zane must be 19 past
now, and I do hope you will man
age to keep him out of this War
game. Its no good for anyones
peace of mind either now or in
the future. Just look at the rest
less wandering life I’ve had over
the last War! Of course, there are
compensations; for instance I
should never have met you if I
hadn’t gone to the “Great War’’—
I wonder what they will call this
one?
Please write again.
Your Sincere Friend,
Harry Wark
