By now the news must be known
that this unit did not go to Meaford
Ranges. Instead a few of the boys
were down to Howson’s Dam filling
sand bags, which is very good train
ing for the young soldier. Meaford
turned out to be just as wet up there
as it was here in town and the only
way we would have known that a
gun fired was by watching the
bubbles come up. If the weather
permits this unit will go to Ipper-

a few rounds. #

The signal section was very busy
last night carrying out wireless pro
cedure on the 19 sets,. Of course,
they have to have batteries to run
them and Gnrs Foster and Nicol were
seen carrying two very dead batteries
from the QM stores to. the drill hall.
I might ask, did anyone ever try
ploughing a field with a dead horse?

Gun drill was held, under the direc

Wells, and all was not -a complete
loss. The boys now know which end
of the gun the Tound comes out of.
But Sgt Major Blackwell was taken
back by the answer he received from
a new recruit. The question was
“What is the calibre of this gun?’’
The answer he got was, “Iz don’t
know. It’s just a big bore to me".

It. is final that the brass band is

band will be formed. It will eventu-'

At 2.00 p.m. the visitors met in the
Church for a short “briefing" and
then following the commissioning
prayer went out to call on the homes
of the parish. Due to the adverse con

was not visited. Although no official

may be termed as “very satisfactory’?.
The Church wardens ask any parish
