Well,*the hectic week is areas, and transportation and
oV..." ., 'rhe %nst Lute Auditors,
!e.
KEME Weapons team and
the fOrillal inspection are all
rw a. thing of the past for this
year.
The auditors, W.O. Art AI -
lend axi4 Sgt. Bob Bell of the
'Re*larForces Comptroller
'ane,, have completed t h e
seintmannual inspection of our
boas of account for all regi-
mental institutes which are the
$9th Bty Composite Mess, 100th
Sty Officers and Sergeants Mess
- and the Regimental Genera 1
Fuad. While we are not per- '
feet by any means, we have :
shown some improvement in :
our accounting, and as the per-
sonnel responsible become more
knowledgeable of the military
system of bookkeeping, we will
no doubt do better. The sys -
tem Ls difficult for the laymen,
mostly because of terminology.
The RCEME team picked up
a few pieces of equipment which
had not been too well maintain-
ed. However, this is their job
and they realize the militiaman
cannot devote the time that is
required to do the very best job.
This is further complicated by
the amount_9f time ..the unit is
allotted, and time is.money.
The formal inspection was
very well turned out. The 21st
Field Regiment RCA has turned
out more personnel on parade
than any unit inspected so far
this year in this district. This
is quite an achievement when
one considers,that the militia
today is not regarded as the "in"
thing", primarily, I suspect,
because young people would
have their pursuit of enjoyment
interrupted. To quote the late
J. F. Kennedy, "Ask not what
your country can do for you,
but what you can do for your
country. "
The excellent turnout onpar-
ade is a further achievement.
since the'population density this
unit represents is less than the '
greater Guelph or Brantford
distance between sub -units pie-
sent their own problems. This
would indicate that people from
rural areas take a greater re-
sponsibility in their duties as
Canadian citizens.
The awards and certificates
which were presented represent-
ed a lot of work on the part of
the personnel presented, the in-
structional and administrative
staffs and W, .Ont. District
Headquarters.
The next field endeavour is
the annual Armed Forces Day
to be held at .CFB Clinton on
June 15. The regiment is sched-
uled to provide an artillery
.troop demonstration, including
the firing of blank artillery
rounds --that is providing Head-
quarters at Ottawa will release
the ammunition. This exercise
will help the regiment's next
operation, competition against
all militia artillery units in Ca-
nada for the Royal Canadian
Artillery Association's Chall-
enge Cup which will take place
at CFB Petawawa, June 20-22. ..
It has been rumored that a
certain battery commander (no
names, no pack drill) lost his
battery right in the town where
it is located. Tsk, tsk. Per-
haps we should ask Ordnance
for a brace of bloodhounds' or
some horning pigeons for this
battery.
HIGH PLAYOFF CHAMPIONS in the Wed-
nesday Night Bowling League are Bob Fox -
ton, Doug Layton, Linda Hollenbeck, Sherry
Reavie. Missing at camera time were Mar-
' ion Hastings and Philip Adams.
