'RESERVE ,ARMY DRIVE
A new and vital role for the fie -
serve Army is foreseen in connect-
ion with the campaign for recruits
for :all Reserve Units being launched
throughout Western 'Ontario. With
the increasingly ominous military
picture both in the Atlantic and Pa
cific war theatres, it becomes more
and ,more apparent that 'the poss-
ibility of an attack in Canada can-
not be ruled out. t.
An untrained army is simply a
mob, which can only bring disaster
upon itself and upon . those whom
it seeks to protect, Months of train-
ing are needed to make an efficient
soldier under present-day conditions
of warfare. The tragedy of this war
so far as ,,the United- Nations are
concerned is that they have .waited
mail too late to •begin ,theitre-
p
parations. • '
•With Canada's Active ,Army nowt;
standing. on'guard. in Britain and. in
the costal areas of Canada, :atten-•
tion of • military authorities is .now
turning to the Reserve Army. Many
of the Reserve units have been sad-
*, depleted by reason of Active en-
°iistments: New blood is needed. The
Reserve age categories' have been
widened to embrace all Men from
17 to 50 Vears of .age with the ex-

A •VOLUNTEEWS LAMENT
Why didn't I wait to be drafted,
To be led to the train by a band,
Why didn't I wait for the banquet,
Oh why did I hold up my hand.
For nobody gave me a warning
And, nobody said 'a kind word,
The grind of the wheels and the
engine - "'
Were the only sound I heard.
Off to Debert I was hustled
To be trained for half year.
In a shuffle quite forgotten,
For r was only a volunteer.'
Then they sent the trainees
And it was made quite clear,
The glory goes to. the drafted,
The work to the Volunteer.

I froze in 'Canada's cold, ,
I walked my beat hi the midnight,
In the army rm growing old:
I 'dreamed of the time that was
coming,
When over the top I would go,
Virile the trainees at home were
laughing: '
At what a fool I was to "go.
I dreamed of the fear of, dangers
Of the bloody field of fate,,
1 went to .the • top, but a bullet was
