(( The Answer to a soldier’s prayer” t /Si Dear Mum, \ou wonder what we find to do in the evenings. We might be puzzled too if it weren t for the Recreation Huts. They’re the .answer to a soldier’s prayer. First of course is the “Cuppa.” Tea, Coffee and Cocoa are each a penny a cup—and “ refills ” cost nothing. Cakes are a penny each too, so you see we can enjoy a pretty nice supper (or morning or afternoon tea for that fS matter) for a few pence. There are tables and chairs where you can sit and play, or talk, or lounge chairs where you can just sit. Every hut contains a wellts frequented writing room, paper and envelopes being free. There’s alw'ays one or more ping-pong tables, and some huts even sport billiard tables. Nearly every night there’s a sing-song round the piano. Miscellaneous things like irons, magazines, libraries, quoits, etc., all add to our convenience and enjoyment. So you can see that the Recreation Hut is the nearest thing possible to a “home away from home.” Although various religions and other bodies administer these huts, and do it very well too, the money comes from the Patriotic Funds, so next street day Mum, don’t hang back. Remember these Recreation Huts and what they mean to us. Your loving Son. JUST ONE MORE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE GENEROUSLY u r* O’. CP & ) SUPPORT PATRIOTIC FUNDS
