The Wingham Advance-Times, 1953-07-29, Page 7The Wingham Advance-Times, Wednesday, duly 29, t953 rage 80'04 Local Gunuers.at Petawawa For Summer,Training Stint The "red flag" waves daily over the Petawawa Army base 112 miles northwest of Ottawa. If it didn't, a number of well mean- ing but careless people might lose life or limb and the blame would fall on the sun-burned shoulders of Reserve Army Winners now undergoing a week-long period of intensive training of the camp's seemingly endless artil- lery ranges, The "red flag" plays an important part in their training. Petawawa's ar- tillery ranges embrace hundreds of acres of some of the best fishing and berry-picking grounds in the area. The flags, flying at all firing points, warn strangers and troops alike that live firing is, or will be, in progress throughout the day and night. From Wingham, Sarnia, Hamilton, Guelph, St. Catharines, Simcoe and London, Ont., seven artillery regi- tice on the ranges. Five units, including the 8th Field Regiment from Hamilton; 11th Field Regiment, Guelph; 31st, Field Regi- ment, Sarnia; 44th Field Regiment, St. Catharines; and 21st, Anti-Tank Regi- ment from Wingham, Walkerton, Goderich and Listowel, Ont., are fir- ing 25-pounder guns. On arrival at camp they drew 1,500 rounds of high explosive, 25-pounder ammunition which will be sent screaming over the the shell-torn ranges before the units break camp Saturday. The two other units, the 7th Medium Regiment from London, and the 25th Medium Regiment from Simcoe, Ont., are equipped with heavier 5.5 guns and have been allotted 500 roends of am- munition. Commander of the Reserve Army gunners at camp is Brig. P. A. S. Todd, of Hamilton. The four field ments have been concentrated at Pe- artillery units and anti-tank regiment tawawa this week for live firing prac- are training as divisional artillery for Hello Homemakers!

Very little time is wasted on parade square work or in lecture rooms, In- stead, all units under their command- ing officers are carrying out intensive field mangeuvres when not actually firing. Firing got under way at dawn on Wednesday with almost all units turn- ing in some excellent shooting. Lunch was eaten in the field in scant shade between red-hot guns and neatly stacked piles of ammunition. But the highlight of the week's training was the Divisional Artillery exercise carried out Thursday and Friday. All units took to the field early Thursday morning and remained "in action" until late Friday. Officers and men will eat and sleep outdoors throughout the exercise. They will be firing in support of the 7th Infantry Brigade from Ottawa and Cornwall, Ont,, another Reserve Army formation in camp this week.

WINGHA1I MEN AT HARRISTON RALLY Gordon Graydon, M.P. for Peel, was guest speaker at a Progressive-Con- servative rally held in Harriston town hall on Friday night, Mr, Graydon predicted that victory would come to the Conservative party "on the basis of three good reasons—taxation, clearing of waste and extravagance, and hold- ing the line for agriculture". Present at the rally from Wingham were John Hanna, M.L.A., who ad- dressed the meeting, and Reeve R. E, McKinney, who thanked the guest speaker. Other speakers were Reeve J. C. Dale, of Harriston, who brought greetings on behalf of the citizens of the town; John Root, Orton, M.P. for South Wellington; Marvin Howe, Arthur, Progressive-Conservative can- didate; Rex Rafter, editor of the Arthur Enterprise and Fred Edwards, M.P. for Perth. I Hon. George Drew, leader of the 'Progressive-Conservative party, will appear in the district this week, speaking in Palmerston, Arthur and Mount Forest on August 1st. He will speak in Kincardine and Owen Sound lon the evening of the same day. ,OUT OF GAOL THURSDAY IN AGAIN SATURDAY Stanley Clay, a young man who gives his home address as Walkerton but who is not known here except to authorities, has figured prominently 'in recent police court activities. Clay was released on Thursday last after serving a term in durance vile on a charge of being drunk, and on Satur- day was re-arrested on a similar count and landed in the lock-up. It appears that between his going and returning he victimized a local young man to the tune of $25.00. On being- re- leased last Thursday he made a pre- tense of seeking employment and on being promised work by the local man, asked an advance of pay and was giv- en twenty-five bucks. His non-appear- ance for work as promised however, started an enquiry and the erstwhile employer found that his hired help had landed back in gaol after having spent all but six dollars of his advance pay. It is stated that he had purchased and consumed three bottles of liquor and a case of beer, —Walkerton Herald-Times." LOST AND FOUND TWO $100 BILLS To lose two $100 bills is a sad occur- rence. To find them again produces an entirely different sensation. Both experiences fell to the lot of an Ar- thur Township farmer this week. On Monday he drew from the bank two $100 bills. In the evening, they were gone, Surely they had been lost in Arthur, On Tuesday forenoon he wisely decided to place a lost adver- tisement in the columns of the journal, He remembered the first and the last place of business he had visited in Arthur on Monday, and it was be- tween these locations the advertise- nient stated the currency had been lost. On Monday afternoon, he, was again in our offices this time in a much better frame of mind. He had found the missing money, but not in Arthur, Where? In his own hen house on the farm. He had gone Into the home of his biddies on returning home on Mon- day to throw them some feed and there the money dropped. He looked the place over very carefully on Tues., day morning, but there was no cash shovving. In the afternoOn there was, The hens in their foreinoon's scratch- ing had uncovered the bills, To them they Were worthless and of no eon- sequente.,—ArthUr Enterprise XeWS. -PROMO N . co-Nr -CA-NAOTAN' *MOINEEKING. -FEAT One of the great engineering undertakings In Carkadlan history is still in progress at Steep Reek, where a huge lake was drained and now engineers are removing the sludge from • the iron ore under the lake bed. Some 60,000,000 yards of overburden must be removed before the estimated half-billion tons of high-grade ore can be mined. The project has run into many diffi- culties, one of the greatest of which was that el dredging the lake bottom. Two of the world's ',palest dredges, shown here, were employed on Abe sob, but broke down continually when they —Central Press Canadian reached the solid rock under the sludge, In- stallation of BLM automatic clutches solved that problem, only one of a long list of engineering problems. Now, while ore is being mined near the lake, plans are to start mining sections of the lake bottom that have been bared while the rest is being drained. It is estimated that it may take four or five years to completely drain the lake, accomplished by means of 3,000 feet of pipeline, through which the silt Is forced over a watershed. The old water line of the lake, 212 feet above the bottom, is Indicated by arrow. ing, etc.) is there, 2.
