Dr. Patrick Bruce -Lockhart of Sudbury, president of the O.M.A. , said the great ma- jority of doctors in Ontario would support the broad con- cept of legislation contained in Bill 163, given two readings in the Ontario Legislature. "We are now concerned with the details of the legislation, to be discussed during the sum- mer by a public committee," Dr. Bruce -Lockhart said. "It is our fervent hope that the principle of a non -compulsory program with freedom for both doctor and patient, so clearly enunciated in the draft bill, will be preserved in any amend- ments or regulations proposed by the public committee." Copies of the draft bill have been sent to officers of the 58 br anch societies of the O.M. A. It will be one of the main topics of discussion at the an- nual meeting of O.M.A. Coun- cil, to be held in Toronto May 10 and 11.

A total of 90 all ranks have con- cluded a two-day classifica- tion shoot on the rifle ranges at Camp Ipperwash. The exercise was carried out under the direction of Lieut. -Col. L. G. Vickars, Listowel, commanding officer Major J. D. Harvey, Seaforth, second in command and Major Ed. Waugh, Goderich, adju- tant. An inspection was made by Col. William Doohan, Lon- don, head of No. 18 Militia Group. Shooting at a distance of 200 yards, the artillerymen fired at the regular bulls eye targets and at silhouettes, using the C-1 rifle. This wea- pon is a modified version of the Belgian FN rifle adopted by the Canadian Army. Equipped with a magazine of 20 cart- ridges it is a semi-automatic but adjustable to an automatic weapon. The rifle replaced the old reliable .303 used in both World Wars. POSTED BEST SCORE Capt.' J. G. Kirk of Listowe] the excellent opportunities of- fered to the students of this community. Mr. F. B. Quance, who until recently conducted a general store at Lebanon, has purchased the farm of Mrs. Geo. Boyle, Lower Wingham. Mr. Gordon McBurney of Van couver, B.C. , visited with his uncle, Mr. Stewart McBurney, Shuter St., and other relatives in and around town. Craig Armstrong, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.W. Armstrong, who has just completed an Arts course at the Universtiy of Toronto, left on Friday for New York, where he has accepted a position in the office of the Canadian Press. rifle instructor for the regiment and who has coached the regi- mental rifle team to five con- secutive Central Command team championships which covers Eastern and Southern On- tario, carded the best targets. He scored 96 of a possible 100. The exercise included 10 shots at deliberate firing in the application shoot and 10 shots rapid firing at the regular tar- gets. For the snap shooting, two shots were pumped into the silhouettes at eight second in- tervals. To qualify in this classifica- tion, it was necessary to com- bine a score in all three phases of 50 per cent. Over 95 per cent of the artillerymen far exceeded that mark with many of them scoring in the 90's or high 80's. Although the classification exercise comes under the regu- lar training schedule of army units, the 21st Regiment, com- prising the 100th Battery, Lis- towel, commanded by Major James Reid, Elmira; the 99th of Wingham, commanded by Major Robert Ritter and the 97th of Walkerton, commanded by Capt. Gordon Tanner, utilize the event fora regimental competition. METHOD OF SCORING Points are divided equally between target scores and per- centage of attendance from each battery taking part in the two-day exercise. The win- ning sub -unit receives the Col. Hetherington Trophy donated by a former commanding of- ficer of the regiment. The 99th Battery of Wingham collected the largest number of points during the shoot but the attendance figures will not be available until a check is made of the nominal rolls. During the two-day outing, the regiment used Ipperwash camp quarters and mess hall but took along its own cooks and kitchen personnel.
