Muriel and Cheryl Haskins enter* tamed sixteen of their little friends, and some adults to a birthday party on Saturday. Abraham--To Mr. and Mrs, T. Abraham, of London, on Thursday, June 4, a son (Thomas Peter). - Mr, and Mrs. Carl Douglas had as their guests on Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Duncan and Helen, of To- ronto. Wayne Douglas spent Saturday with his grandparents, Mr, and Mrs. Wm. King. Mr, and Mrs. N, Hunkin spent Sun- day with relatives at Seaforth. On' Par ace! , On Sunday morning, June 7th, the 21st Regiment, R.C.A., comprised of the 97th battery of Walkerton,98th battery of Goderich, the 99th bttery of Wingham and the 100th battery of. Listowel, assembled at 0930 hours D.S.T., in the Wingham Armories to prepare to advance to a deployment area previously reconnoitered for a, regimental scheme. With about 70 men present and under the command of Lt. Col. Bell, the regiment proceeded to its rendez- vous, carrying out the initial part of the scheme. The gun positions were marked, command posts chosen, com- munication lines laid and the guns prepared for action—all as smoothly as clockwork. A target position was plotted, its re- lation to each gun determined and ap- plied in degrees and yards to the in- dividual guns. Then came the order to fire, When the, target was destroyed another target was chosen and the procedure was repeated. At 1230 hours dinner and refresh- ments were served and any difficulties encountered during the morning were, ironed out. In the afternoon Lt. Col. Bell kept everyone on the alert by choosing targets of assorted types, in order to make use of the different types of fire orders and ammunition. At 1630 hours the regiment ceased firing and returned to the armories to call it a day. As a result, a very successful day was enjoyed by all. Another scheme of the same nature is being planned and will be held in the Listowel area during the early part of July. These schemes are held to prepare the men for the week at Camp Petawawa, where they will shoot live ammunition under regular battlefield conditions, Just a little reminder that , camp is being held this year during the week of July 19th to 26th. All those who can possibly make it are urged to attend. v. 111 1111 On Monday evening, June 8th, the 99th battery went on parade with eight officers and 20 other ranks present. The band held a practice under the leadership of bandmaster Bill Hender- son, The whole evening was devoted to a battery s6heme using only one gun. The scheme was held on battery grounds across from the Wingham cemetery. This scheme too, proved successful as it likewise' cleared up points that may have still been a bit rusty to the men. Sacred Heart CYaMeets The June meeting of the C.Y.O. of Sacred Heart Church was held Sun, day evening in the parish hall, Des Brophy presiding. During the business, a letter of in- vitation was read from the Walkerton C.Y.O. to a social evening in the parish hall on June 21st at 8.30. The com- mittee in charge of beautifying the church grounds reported the project underway. It is hoped eventually that the spacious lawns will be made more attractive. Discussion also took place about the prospect of purchasing a record player later in the summer for fall and winter socials. 6A committee was appointed to be convened by Audrey Ste. Marie to clean and paint the choir loft floor. Rev. A. J. Durand, Ph.D., a teacher of Philosophy at St. Peter's Seminary, London, as guest beaker gave mem- bers a most interesting lecture on life in St. Peter's Seminary where, he stated, students aspiring to the priest- hood, during their six years' of studies are fitted for their future profession.

Like Statues They stood like statues until some kid pinched one and he turned quick- ly and said "Beat it you . ." All along the parade route-stands or bleachers have been erected. These are constructed of two-inch steel pip- ing and clamps similar to scaffolding used on construction work. There must be miles of this piping and millions of feet of planking. Today workmen are protecting plate glass windows along the route with similar construction over which is placed a type of wallboard some green, other red, and some white; it all works in with the decorating scheme. The streets are beautifully decor- ated. Fleet Street, which is mostly newspapers and insurance offices, is the most magnificent. From a high crown ruffled white streamers six inches in diameter fall and loop in fives to each side. These are about 200 feet apart the full length of the street. Plus this there are the flags and most every building has its own decorations, Although Fleet Street is not on the parade route a remarkable number have walked to view it.
