"There was a time when I would have hesitated to give a man chewing gum," said Chaplain Donald Watson at St. Paul's Church, Feilding. He was mentioning that he had always tried to have something to give the men when visiting them in the trenches, so that, cold words of comfort would not seem a inockerv. He had been able to supply chocolate, chewing gum, cigarettes, oranges, etc. "My experiences," lie went on to say, "led me to the conviction that, next to prayer, there was nothing like chocolate, for bucking up a man's spirit to enable him to Stand the strain. And chewing gum ran the chocolate a good race for second place."
