reporter, John Fisher

A talk on the work of the Toronto Volunteer Reception Committee in meeting troop trains and arranging for veterans to phone relatives for free anywhere in North America. John Fisher tells various heart-warming anecdotes, including of a call to an Indian mother in the bush near Moosonee, who had never used a telephone and had to talk to her son by having the conversation relayed by the provincial policeman who had located her, also of calls to Bermuda and even to Scotland, though the latter was outside North America. Early in the program there is an actuality recording of a troop-train arrial with John Fisher reporting. <15mn>
