A. Galbraith, ' ’ . ■ Clerk and Returning Officer. Wingham. Ontario.! November Iflth. 195L > / On Parade! By Windy Parade was held by the RHQ and 99th Bty on Monday 22 Nov and was well represented by the members of this unit. By that >1 mean we had a good crowd and everybody was in the best of holiday spirit. Christmas is a imonth away, but Christmas pay is only three weeks. 0-0-0 The most important thing around here that took place was the remodel­ ling of the Quartermaster stores. Now a man can only go in there a distance of about six feet and there is a big sign “Out of Bounds”.. Now a man has to stand in the "bull pen” and get issued his clothing. No more going behind the counter or Sgt. Lloyd Dawson may break an arm or two. That stores is his pride and joy (and headache). 0-0-0 The signal section now have a room upstairs, for wireless stores exclusive­ ly. Now the only problem is carrying batteries up the stairs. Next thing we know they will want an elevator installed. I wonder what happened to that saying, “a strong back and weak mind’’. Ever hear of the "arm-' strong method” fellows? 0-0-0 Gun drill was held under the direc­ tion of WO 2 Blackwell, Sgts. Buck Sinnomon and Bill Wells. What a noise in that gun shed with those three trying to out-roar one another. But soon there was relief to that and something else perforated our ear­ drums. Yes, you guessed it. It was the drum and bugle band, so all was well that ended well. 0-0-0 The old 99th Bty held their annual re-union last Saturday with dinner at the Brunswick Hotel and held a dance after here at the armouries with music supplied by Mrs. Henderson’s orches­ tra. It was a great get-together and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I know I did, and after watching the festivities I thought of this poem: I drink to your health when with you, I drink to your health when alone, I drink to your health so frequently. I’ve practically ruined my own.
