SOMETIMES IT WORKS -- A number of bombardiers from the 99th were seen busily wielding mops at Camp Ipper- wash on Sunday. They made a fine job of cleaning up the men's kitchen and the quarter- master's stores but the question in a few minds was who detail- ed them to the work? Or was it a convenient way to miss the, regimental parade since such activity is not usually taken on. with the attention to detail of Sunday's cleaning spree. 0--0--0 SOME SHOOTING-- •L/Bdr. "Red" Elliott, offic- ers' mess steward •for the 99th Battery, answered a dare from W.O. Morin and took part in the 21st Field Regiment's small arms competition at Camp Ip- perwash on Sunday.

Morin, who hasn't been shooting for a few years either, barely classified and he is a former sniper with the R.C.R. Lillis made "Red" feel better but if anyone hears the tinkle of glass around the armouries it will be the steward at target practice in the mess. li4. tion of which•has already been raised, through voluntary dona- tions and share pledges.
