the baited meatballs were
eaten, when, how often, etc.

drenching their traps with
Chanel No. 5 or not, but a

Recollections
Dear Editor:
Today, November 12, just
reminded me of another
November 12 in 1916.
That was the day that the
161st Huron Battalion (in-
fantry) arrived in England to

Hutch in 0 show which has-
been called the most violent
TV show presently viewed.
These two fellows use every
conceivable trick in the book
to catch the bad guys. This
show, though violent in a
sense. often shows the
weakness of the law and the
difficulty to obtain justice by
the more conventional
means.
And there's Quincy. the
coroner who has a running
battle with the various police
departments and legal eagles
who want .o sweep the real
Causes of death under the
carpet. Quincy is another
super sleuth who uses every
Means at his disposal - honest
or not - to determine exactly
what happened and to bring
the guilty to justice.

will understand that
they are fictitious,
is a grain of truth
running through them all ... a
truth that reminds everyone
of the way in which policemen
and the courts are hampered
in their investigations by the
very laws which protect the
innocent. And they will likely
agree that the audience
generally applauds the
heroes.
The end justifies the means
in some instances and is
demonstrated week after
week by these television
investigators. Sometimes
when crime .is deep-seated
and thoroughly rotten, it
takes devious and drastic
measures to restore safety
and security.
It is possible, of course, that
some members of the RCMP
are undeserving to wear the
scarlet tunic of this proud
Canadian police institution.
There may even he some
reason for concern where
certain RCMP officers and
investigations are concerned.
But in the main, the RCMP

is getting a black eye across
the nation and it is disturbing
not only to me but to many
Canadians who think of the
Mounties as sterling men of
staunch character and
devotion to duty.
Time and time again,
Prime Minister Pierre Elliott
Trudeau has advised
parliament that the RCMP is
in charge of national security
and that the national
security must be protected at
all costs. The PM has also
noted that a proper in-
vestigation of the RCMP will
he launched and that
Canadians and their rights
will be' of prime importance
during the investigation.
There is a saying: The
Mounties always get their
man. As far as I'm con-
cerned, the methods used by
the Mounties are their
business and until it is proven
the motives of the RCMP are
treasonous or dangerous to
the nation's secuirty, I'm
prepared to ignore the
inuendoes of politicians who
should have more pressing
matters to which they can
devote their energies.

complete their training for
service in France in World
War I.
It was on a Sunday and
raining when they got off the
train at Sharoncliffe station
in Kent County in the
southeast of England not far
from the view of the English
Channel. They marched to a
makeshift camp at the foot of
a hill called Lower Dibgate.
The march would be about
three or four miles from the
station to the camp of mud
from . the rain that was
coming down the hill from
Upper Dibgate Camp at the
top.
They were billeted in bell
tents . that were already
soaking wet and to enter or
leave a plank was used. What
a welcome for the new
arrivals from Canada. •
I was stationed at Upper
Dibgate Camp at the time for
final training as a stretcher
bearer in the Canadian Army
Medical Corps (C.A.M.C.).
Our draft was waiting orders
to proceed to France.
Getting back to the arrival
of the 161st Battalion at
Lower Dibgate, I went down
the slippery hill to see a
cousin who was with the
Battalion and from near St.
Augustine in West Wawanosh
Township. That is how I know
what Lower Dibgate Camp
was like that Sunday in the
rain. Don't ask me how I got -
hack up a muddy slippery hill
because I could not explain it
now.
In a few days the 161st were
moved from the bottom of the
hill to the top and from there
some of the boys were picked
for reinforcements to Bat-
talions in France that had
suffered battle casualties,.

The draft I was on tran-
sferred to Westenhanger
Camp for a few days before
leaving by train for
Southampton to board a boat
for La Havre, France and the
Canadian Base Camp.
I soon lost track of the boys
of the 161st as we did not keep
up any correspondence. Later
I was told the Battalion was
transferred to Witley Camp.
However, I do. remember
carrying a wounded soldier
who said he was from the
Zurich area but I do not
remember his name.
