Before Freddy's picture arrived his social worker reported
that this toddler has a most appealing smile. As you see, She
didn't exaggerate.
• Anglo-Saxon in descent,he_has very dark eyes, brown hair
and fair skin.
Freddy is nearly tWo but he Is so small he looks much
younger. Though he. was a 'full-term baby he weighed only
four-and-a-half pounds when he was born and it Seems that he
will continue to be a little fellow..
Freddy. has pierre-Robin Syndrome; which usually means
'the person affected has a small mouth, cleft palateand receding
chin. There is no putward sign of his problem and his palate is
now diagnosed as "soft" rather than "cleft". He will not need .
corrective surgery but may later require speech surgery and
orthodontic work.
'Freddy has progressed from requiring all food put through
a blender to, being able to eat a fairly normal diet. as lo'ng as
.foods are mashed with a fork. He has a good appetite and be
sleeps soundly. •
Freddy walks well and talks a good deal. His vocabulary
is limited, as you would expect, but he tries to repeat everything
said to him. . ..,„
This 'happy, friendly boy beams on everybody paying any
-attention to him. He is affectioriate, energetic and very
determ.ined.
The "Syndronle in Freddy's medical history ocasionally
means a child is retarded. This ladlie is not, but he will
likely be a sloW learner.
Lovable Freddy needs a family who' will welcome a lively
affectionate small boy and who will be'committed to helping
him 'later with speech therapy.
To inquire about adopting Freddy, please write to Xoday's
Child, Box 888, Station, K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For,general
adoption information, please contact your., local Children's'
Aid SOciety.

THE WAR, ON LAND
The Canadian 'infantryman of
World War. II was supported'by a
bewildering complexity of force
and organization. Apart from the
fire-power of his own unit, there
were, planes to blast his
battalion's objectives, tanks and
flamethrowers which rumbled
along beside him, artillery and
heavy 'mortars and machine guns
to take on difficult targets.
But ultimately everything pi-
voted on the infantryman himself,
the indiyidual human being with
the courage God gave him and-
the weapons he could carry. The
soldier with a rifle in his hands
was still the classic figure of
the front line.
In 1939 Canada armed her sol-
diers with World War I weapons:
the Webley .455 pistol and the
short-magazine No. 1 Lee Enfield
Mrs. D. Bettie, R.N. -has '
joined the'Kilbarchan staff. For-
merly of ParrySound,Mrs.Rettie
trained at -Royal Victoria Hos-
pital, Barrie.
Mrs. E. Durst has replaced
the Christmas theme Par-
tridge in a Pear Tree" in the
entrance hall with a study of*
Antarctic birds 'featuring those
interesting birds the 'penguins' •
in a winter scene.
Rev. M.' E. Reuber of North-
side United -Church took
devotional exercises on Wednes-
day afternoon. He chose as his
text the 3rd chapter of St.John
and enlarged on the topic ',Y-e
Must be Born Again."
Mr. Reuber assisted by an
elder Gordon Rimmer, served
Communion on Sunday afternoon
to a number of the patients.

rifle. The army had. few Bren
.303 light machine guns. The
Boys .55 anti-tank rifle was the
only weapon of its type and there
were few of them. Local defenses
and training establishments - and
the first formations to go over
seas - used the .303 Lewis and
:303 Vickers machine guns.
In time, Canada achieved won-
ders for a nation that had no
prewar munitions industry.
Large numbers of the Bren light
mach4ne gun and Boys anti-tank
rifle' were produced from 1940 on.
,By November 1942, overseas
units received the first No. 4
Lee Enfields, from ,British pro-
duction; from June 1943 oh this
issue rifle came from a govern-
ment arsenal at Long Branch,
Ontario. The Webley pistol was
replaced, during the war by 'the
Canadian 9-mm. Browning auto-
matic. The famous .Sten sub-
machine gun made its debut in
1942. ,j, fired 9-mm. ammuni-
tion,/ t elcind used in the German
Luge pistol and standard in *
many European countries. ' The
Sten was produced 'at a cost of
$9. Its only drawback was a
tendency. to fire prematurefy if
handled roughly.
Six years of war showed
marked changes- in conventional
artillery. In World War I, mo-
bility had .not been of primary
importance and many effective
if unwieldy weapons did yeoman
service.' By 1939 all towed ar-
tillery, in the British and Cana-
dian f6rces was mechanized.
Most German guns were horse-
drawn until after the invasion
of Russia in 1941; then the ur-
gency - of prbility, speed
and cross'-country . capability '
placed •the ,emphasis on self-
propelled guns.
ThetCanadian Army in 1939
had a tiny Permanent Force, and
"a semi-trained militia but,
essentially-, it had to start from .
scratch. It learned quickly and
received long, 'intensive training
before being committed to battle.
It was even said Canadian troops
were ,over-trained. But the end-
less exercises and rehearsals -
and the bloody raid on 'Dieppe
in 1942 - paid off in relatively
light casualties on D-Day
.
in Nor-
mandy. Throughout the war, r:,'
'Canadians developed ,a pro-
fessional attitude toward sol-
diering. There was scope for
initiative and original thinking,
as shown by the adoptiOn of
improvisation such as the Kan—
garoo (an armored personnel'
carrier designed by Canadians
to protect infantry accompanying
tanks across fireswept ground)
and the tactics for their' em-
ployment.
It was a different war in many
ways, but some things 'did not
change. One constant in all war-
fare is that sticceSs 'and ultimate
victory depend on the stamina and
courage of the individual soldier,
combined with good, leadership.
As his father had done in World
War I,. the Canadian soldier
proved himself a first-class
fighting man, lacking neither
initiative nor courage.
PAST EVENTS
Thursday 11th Jan., trie
general meeting was held at the
LegiOn Hall., An enjoyable pro-

-cheque was Mrs. J. McConnell,

don *IcKenzie, Administrator,

ding, that the donation of $5,000.
was a very formidable project,''
