IS FOUND GUILTY Youth railed To Attend Drills. Remanded rot Sentence. I. • Failure to report (Or % training and parade with the 97th Reserve, R.C.A., .patieri, at Walkerton, restilted ht a 400, being vreferred against Gerald Brindley, 18-year-old Riversdale dis- trict young man. He appeared before Magistrate F. W. Walker and pleaded not guilty to two charges of failing to turn out for parade and disuse of the uniform. On evidence of his com- manding officer, Major C. S. McKen- zie, and Lieut. T. Baillie, he was con- victed and remanded to jail for one week for sentence. This is the first case of a member of the Reserve Army in this district having been brought before the court on such charges, although there have been eases of young men after signing up taking the matter of training very lightly and failing to report. Evidence of Major McKenzie re- vealed that Brindley had signed up and been attested in 1941, but .on only a few occasions reported at the specified times for training, On May 5 the accused appeared at the local arm- ouries, headquarters of the 97th Re- serve in civillan'clothes and his trill,- forth parceled under his arrri.„ He'told the officer that he wanted to hand it in, stating that he could not very well get out front his home for training periods. Major McKenzie renueste4 him to change into 1'49 uniform and re- port on parade that evening. Brindley did not .do so and the commanding of- ficer then ordered him to do. so, :ad- vising him of what the consequences might be. The .accused, however, left the uniform and walked out of the ar- mory. Lieut, T, Bane, who was. present at the time, corroborated the evidence of the, commanding oficer, Provincial Offieer O. MeClevis testi- fied that when he called upon the no- cased to advise him he had better re- port for training he was wearing the uniform for working about the farm. More U. S. Troops To Ireland The United States added substance to the second front spectre haunting Hitler by landing in Northern Ireland the largest army force yet dispatched to the British Isles, armed for offen- sive action, Thus the possibility was raised that Hitler might be attacked from the west while locked in a. death grapple with Soviet Russia on the east. The landing of these troops will no doubt give Hitler cause to worry. Air Conference•Under Way Fourteen nations are represented at the air training conference which is being held in Ottawa. It is said that a greater degree of co-ordination in air training and operations will be sought. Canada stands ready to throw its air training facilities open to any of the United Nations, Air Minister Power said at a' press con- ference, the first day of the Ottawa air training conference.
