, 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

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.
Canada House
Canada House from where I will
be watching the Coronation proces-
sion is completely enclosed in scaf-
fold on two sides.
The top gallery where the press are
located will command a splendid
view. We will see the going and the
returning. We will spend the entire
day, meals and everything there.
I However, this is not free, Seats
'are £6 and meals £2.
While I spent a few minutes await-
ing a seat which the High Commis-
sioner had authorized after receipt of
a cable from the Ontario Division
CWNA Manager Werden Leavens, I
heard several replies to phone enquir-
ies, "Sorry, there is not another seat
available."
Mr. Moody's secretary said when
I turned in the bleacher seat ordered
'from Canada, "There will be a
scramble for that."

the following conversation on the

pictures and passes out a card saying
where the picture may be obtained
handed one to a chap ahead of me.
"Got my picture 'ave you?" the fel-
