gift for women 27 image

I need to know how people women, teens, children, government etc help with the WW2 war effort.
Answer
Government started Lend-Lease before the world knew what Lend-Lease was [we called ours "Mutual Aid"]. Among the things manufactured during WW2:
Of the 815,000 military vehicles of all types built in Canada, 168,000 were issued to Canadian forces. Thirty-eight percent of the total Canadian production went to the British.
Canadian Pacific Railway constructed 788 Valentine tanks in its Angus shop in Montreal; its engine was built by General Motors. 5,200 tanks had been built at C.P. Angus and Montreal Locomotive Company shops by the end of the war.
2,150 twenty-five pounder "Sexton" self-propelled guns were built by Montreal Locomotive Works.
11 billion dollars of munitions
1.7 million small arms
43,000 heavy guns
It delivered 16,418 aircraft to fill Allied orders, chiefly from Britain and the United States, but also for use by the RCAF and BCATP.
2 million tonnes of explosives
9,000 boats and ships
Radar sets and Electronics
Synthetic rubber
Uranium for the âManhattan Projectâ
The total value of Canadian war production was almost $10 billion - approximately $100 billion in todayâs dollars. After the war Canada forgave every Nation any and all debt owed to us for aid received. It lent money to Britain interest-free, gave it a gift of war supplies in January 1942 and then donated surplus production to Canadaâs allies through the Canadian Mutual Aid Board.
Some 57,000 individuals were employed in merchant shipbuilding and a further 27,000 worked in naval shipbuilding, which included building vessels like destroyers, frigates, corvettes, and minesweepers.
We hosted the British Commonwealth Air Training Prgram. At the conclusion of the war, over 167,000 students, including over 50,000 pilots, trained in Canada under the program from May 1940 to March 1945. While the majority of those who successfully completed the program went on to serve in the RAF, over half (72,835) of the 131,553 graduates were Canadians
By war's end, 1.1 million citizens would have served in military uniform, and Canada would possess the fourth-largest air force and third-largest naval surface fleet in the world.

What are good 'thank you' gifts for a baby shower?
NaeNae Jam
So my mom is throwing me a baby shower in a few months and I can't help but want everything just right. I am inviting about 65 people and need some good ideas for 'thank you' gifts to give everyone that comes. Candy is sweet, but . . . I want to put a little something more that really shows my appreciation! Any ideas?
Answer
wow, 65 guests! I don't even know 65 women i could invite to a shower lol!!
I am hosting my SIL's baby shower later this month for 30 odd guests and had made my own favours
I took one square sheet of scrapbooking paper and cut it into 4 squares. Each square is folded into a little rectangular parcel and the end taped up. I put one little chocolate frog into each parcel thru the still open end.
Then i made book marks on microsoft word and laminated them, that say
"This bookmark is given
to remember
Kelleyâs
new chapter in life"

Thank you for sharing in this special day!
27 /09 /09
and also typed up this little phrase and printed it out and cut them out...
Thank you for your gift that we will soon see,
And thank you for your kindness and generosity!
Mum is sending this note of thanks because I am yet to arrive,
And even when I do, I wonât write good till Iâm five!
I then attached the book mark and thank you note to each side of the little parcel by punching a hole in the open end of the parcel and the top of the book mark and thank you phrase and used ribbon to secure it all together.
The end product looks really cute and 'classy' and appropriate for every woman. Plus its cheap to make but a bit time consuming but worth it. I like the hand made touch and think it brings something a little more special to the day.
You could also give each guest a fresh flower, like a gerbera, with a thank you note & wrapped chocolate attached to the stem with a ribbon as a gift as they leave. Plus they make great decorations during the shower, and are available in large quantities at a not too expensive price. Every woman likes flowers & chocolate!
I've also printed name tags that i will write on and pin on everyone as they arrive that say
"My name is ________
I am Kelley's ________" (mother, aunt, collegue, neighbour etc..)
this is so everyone knows who each other is especially when you have a large group. I think its a bit of an ice breaker.
I have also purchased 50 little plastic baby bootie charms off ebay and am using large baby nappy pins to secure one to each guest as they arrive. If they say 'baby' during the shower, they have to give a bootie pin to the person that caught them saying it. The person who has the most booties pinned on them at the end of the shower gets a prize!
hope that helps!
