By Windy The 99th Bty. of the 21st Fd, Regt, held its annual banquet, and as usual a good time was had by all. At least everyone enjoyed the nfeal and films which followed. (Special thanks must be given our master of ceremonies, Clint Godwin, and even though he lost his list of things to say, what he did say was very good. We would also like to thank the Brunswick Hotel for putting on the lovely dinner, 0-0-0 Guests included Father Durand Wingham, Lt.-Col. and Mrs. R. Hetherington, Major and Mrs. A. Irwin, R.S.M. and Mrs, J. D. Corrigan of Wingham, and Capt. Kress, of Lon­ don. Last, but not least, the perman­ ent staff at the Armouries. 0-0-0 This ended another year of activ­ ities around here and a very success­ ful one, I might add, both on the re­ cruiting end and the training depart­ ment. Talk about new additions to our clan here are a few: Lt. J, U. Ste­ phens, Lt. C. V. Godwin and approxi­ mately fifteen gunner types. And, of course, a great many have left our happy fold, people such as Capt. L. M. Wedd, Capt. W. E. Rowland and O.C. Ron Ste. Marie, W.O.2 W. Seddon, and about ten of the gunners. So you see, as many enlist as get the boot— pardon me—I mean transfers and re­ leases. of S. W. Mrs. Walter Hodgins Passes in Kitchener In the K-W hospital, Kitchener, Ont., where she had been a patient salary, postage and fees and hydro for almost three years, death came pOr hall,^ $657,57j Nelsoii ^Higgins, sal- to Mrs. Mary J. Hodgins on Dec. 15, 1954. Mrs. Hodgins was born in Oxford County near Harrietsville, on Sept, 27, 1870. At the age of ten she moved with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Statters to a farm on the tenth con­ cession of Kinloss township. In 1900, she married Walter Hodgins who predeceased her on Jan. 8, 1929. She leaves to mourn her loss three sons and five daughters, Harry of Toronto, Charles of Wingham, Ralph and Jennie (Mrs, Earl Culbert), of London; Annie (Mrs. B. N. Thomp­ son), of Kitchener; Mary (Mrs. John F. Taylor), of Galt; Florence (Mrs, Raymond Snyder), of Bloomingdale; and Marion, a W.M.S, missionary of the United Church who is now spend­ ing part of her furlough at the Sny­ der home. One brother, Denzil, of Galt, twenty-one grandchildren and four great-grandchildren also survive. The funeral service was held on Saturday, Dec. 18, at 2 p.m„ at the Walker funeral home in Wingham. Interment was in Greenhill Cemetery, Lucknow, A former pastor and friend of long-standing, Rev, F, E. Clysdale, of London, conducted the service assisted by Rev. MacRae of Wingham United Church, of which Mrs. Hodgins was a member, Mr. Clysdale paid tribute to a fine Christian woman, who never failed to uphold the highest ideals in her home, church and community. Pall-bearers were former neigh­ bours, Earl and Art Hodgins, Ernie Hanna, Frank Thompson, Jack Ross and Eldon Eckenswiller. 0-0-0 But talk about the gunner types we have in this unit now. When you get the likes of Gunner Bill Foster, Jim Campbell, Bruce Lott and a few like that it is more like a three-ring cir­ cus. And believe me, I would like to be cracking the whip. But it is the same as it is with my own boys— one word from me and they do as they like.

Ruth Lott, fy>u Carmichael, Wingham Mohawks walloped Palm­ erston Intermediates 14-3 before a scanty crowd in the Wingham arena, in a lopsided battle Saturday night. At no time during the whole contest were the short-handed Palmerston I , sextet a threat to the lqeals. Wingham assumed an imposing lead in the first frame, when they rapped home seven goals with only one answering tally from Palmerston. In the second period Wingham sharpshooters garnered four more tallies, and again Palmerston was able to score only one lone counter. In the, final stanza Wjngham flat- tended their lead with three goals, with Palmerston’s Gilbert getting one. Leading marksmen for Wingham were Ritter, with 4, Crewson and Lockridge with 3 each and Hilbert and Neil Stainton with two each. Gil­ bert got two tallies for Palmerston.

Thornton died Wingham Hospital on December 17th after a long illness. He was the son of the late Nelson Thornton and Susan Watson and was born in Morris township seventy-six years ago. He farmed for many years on Morris boundary line, later retir­ ing to live in Bluevale. Surviving are his wife, formerly Eleanor Mary Peacock, one son Wil­ son, of Morris, and five daughters: Beatrice, (Mrs. John Wickstead), of Morris; Muriel, (Mrs. Neil MacLean), of Toronto; Elsie (Mrs. A.- D. Smith), of Bluevale; Alice (Mrs. Hilliard Jef­ ferson), of Donnybrook; and Eunice, (Mrs. Jas. Marshall), of Listowel. Mr. Thornton was a member of Bluevale United Church, for many years chairman of the Board of Stewards, and a member of se&sion. He belonged to the Bluevale Orange Lodge. Mr.. Thornton was an exem­ plary citizen and his passing is much regretted. A private service was held in the home in Bluevale on Monday after­ noon, followed by a public service in the United Church, Rev. R. A. Brook having charge of the services. Mr. Brook preached from the text "Well done, good and faithful serv­ ant". Mrs. C. B. Hoffman sang "In the Sweet Bye and Bye’’. Interment was in Wingham Cemetery. The pallbearers were: five nephews, John Thornton, William Thornton, Doran Thornton, William Peacock, Alvin Townsend and also Burns Mof­ fatt. 0-0-0 Also this year something new has been added. You guessed it. Lady soldiers. We call them CWAC's, and they are employed for clerical work and not as waitresses, although that isn’t such a bad idea. Some of these waiters around use anything but 'the perfect Oxford English. The same also can be said for a few cooks. Which reminds me of a little story. The orderly officer was sampling some food in the mess line-up. After doing so he looked up at the sergeant-cook and said, “You were a cook in the last war weren’t you?” "Yes6sir,” said the cook. “And I was wounded twice.” “You are lucky they didn’t kill you ’’ said the officer. 0-0-0 We have a new addition in permanent staff, in the preson of Sgt. L. E. Dawson who is in quartermaster end of things and is as tight as bark on a tree when it comes to giving out stores. If you cannot sign your name for something, it is okay. He just takes a pint of blood till you return the article. Of course things are not as bad, as that, but we have to have a man like Lloyd here to protect the taxpayer’s moiley. 0-0-0 It is good to see WO2 Jim Cameron back with us after such a lengthy illness. For awhile there we thought he might not be back till next year and that ho liked taking ft easy there' in hospital with all the nice-looking nurses to wait on him. I asked Jim what annoyed him most there and he said, "Well, you have just nicely settled down to sleep, see, and a nurse comes along and shakes the tar out of you and says, "Wake up it’s time for your sleeping pill”. 0 - 0 - 0 This just about Winds it up for this year. The only thing left is the kiddies’ party to be held on Dec. 23. So all you battery members bring mother and the kids down for a good time.
