other Canadians, after a survey of
conditions tirade with the approval of
the British Government.
In- addressing en Ebceeutive meet-

the great need at the present_ time is
for trained workers, who can teach
'others' to help in the. Nursery Schools,
which are. being opened at' the Tato of
100 per. week, because the mothers
have to go into war work.
25.trained workers are ready to go.

Iiddlesex and Huron Is Selected As
Unit of 31st Reserve Brigade
A general call to the colours of the
Reserve Army is heralded throughout
the country, The co-operation of
SeWspapere, radio stations, service
tubs, churches and patriotie organt-
ations of all kinds in Western Outer-
is being pledged for the purpose of
Snphasizing the vital role of the ne-
rve Army in the defence of Canada,
and of urging every able-bodied man
n Military Distriot No. 1 to fit him-
eIf for service to his country in the
vent of a national emergency, which
night well develop as a result of
'ave; developments in the Pacific
heatre of war,
Announcement of the Reserve
ARmy drive coincides with the forma
on of the new Reserve Brigade group
which will form the shock troops•. of
ie Reserve Army in M.D. 1. Officer
mmanding the Brigade is Cola W.
Hagarty D.S.O. who has had a
ng and distinguished career of mili-
ry service in Canada's armed for-
s. His appointment is indicative of.
e importance attached' to the Re-
rve Army by National . Defence
eadquarters.
Asked about the streamliningof
e Reserve Army and the urgent
:ed for recruits, Col. Hagerty sum-
arized the situation in these words:
"We are in the midst of a serious mil-
itary crisis, Canada requires every
able-bodied man to assist in the de-
fence of this country, the Reserve
Army offers the opportunity to those
who are too old or too young to serve
in the Active Army to fit themselves
for service in Canada in the event of
a nationai emergency which may. well
come at any time now."
"The drive for Reserve Army re -
emits win not interfere in any way
with the raising of men for. the Active
Army, the men whom we are seeking
are these not -required for enlistment
in the .Active Army. We are not
asking them to give up their civilian
jobs and become full-time soldiers,
but simply to make the sacrifices of
a small portion of their time to learn
the rudiments of soldiering so that
they may be equipped to defend their
tountry in case df need. It will in-
volve at the most one dr two nights
a week, 15 days at camp acid a total
of days in week -end exercises."
Under the new Reserve Army regu-
lations, recruits may be drawn from
all men over 35 and under 50 years of
age of any medical category "A" "B"
or "C", while men from 19 to 35 may
be taken if of "C" category inasmuch
as they are not eligible for the active
forces, Married men from 30 to 35
of whatever medical category are also
eligible for the Reserve, they will re,
ceive• preliminary training designed
to enable them to take their places,
later as trained re-inforcements for
overseas."
Forming the first-string line of the
Reserve Army in M.D. 1 will be the
31st Reserve Infantry Brigade men-
tioned above, which' is being organ-
ized 6000 strong, -to take the field as
self-contained unit complete with ar-
tillery, engineers, signals, Army Ser-
vice Corps, Medical Corps and Ord'-
nanee. Modern equipment including
weapons anal training vehicles will be
available for this Brigade group." In
conclusion Col, Hagerty said, "We in
tend to make the . Reserve Army a
powerful instrument for the defence.
of Canada ,already it has furnished
thousands of trained men for the ac-
tive forces in Canada and overseas
By bringing up the Reserve units to
full strength now, we will not only.
he ensuring the adequate defence of
our shores but such a step will .re
lease many fit • men for service over-
seas where the enemy must be en-
gaged and defeated. Membership in
the Reserve Army is something every
man can be proud of. He will have
the satisfaction of knowing that he is
taking his proper place in his coun-
try's defence at a critical hour -la it's
history."
The Middlesex and Huron Regi-
ment, which serves this vicinity, has
been especially honoured in being sel-
ected as an infantry regiment of the
31st Reserve Infantry Brigade along
with the Essex Scottish and the Scots
Fusiliers. The Canadian Fusiliers are
tbo Machine Gun battalion of the
Brigade.
The Rt. Hon. W .I.i. MacKenzie
King said on April 7th—"it might
well be that the final battles in this
struggle will be fought on Canadian
and United States soil,"
Ml men wishing to avail them-
selves of this opportunity to learn to
defend their homes and families are
cordially invited to discuss the sitha-
tion with officers of the Regiment at
the Town Hall, Clinton, on Monday
cad Wednesday evenings.

Reserve Army Drive
A new and vital role for the Re-
serve Armyis forseenin connection
with the campaign for recruits for
all: Reserve. Units being launched this
week throughout Western Ontario.
With the increasingly ominous mil-
itary picture both in the •Atlantic and
Pacific war theatres, it becomes more
and more apparent that the possibil-
ity of an attack in Canada cannot' be
ruled out. Therefore it behoves every
able-bodied man in the country to
prepare now to do his part in turning
back the invader.
Ain untrained army is simply a
nmob, which can only bring disaster
upon those whom it seeks to protect.
Months of training are needed to
make an efficient soldier under press
ent-day conditions of warfare. The
tragedy of this was so far as the Un-
ited Nations' are con;berned is that
they have waited until too late to be-
gin their preparations.
With Canada's Active Army now
standing -on guard in Britain and in
the coastal areas of Canada, attention
of military authorities is now turning
to the Reserve Army. Many of the
Reserve units• have been sadly deple-
ted by reason of Active enlisments.
New blood is needed. The. Reserve
age categories have been widened to
embrace all men from 1? to 5o+,years
of age with the exception of 'A.' and
'13' category single men from 19 to
35 and married men from 19 to 30
who are considered eligible for the
Active Army.
The opportunity is now offered to
thousands of young' and middle-aged
Canadian men in Western. Ontario to
do their bit, In industry and in busi-
I ness and professional circles there are
countless men who have found it ime.
possible to enlist for active service
because of family or business ties.
There are few who could not sacrifice
one or two evening ' a week and • a
fortnight at camp, to lentil therudi-
ments ef soldiering to learn how to
handle a rifle, or a machine gun and
to improve their physical condition
against the day of need. Soon mod-
ern equipment, including weapons and
training vehicles, will be available for.

tities, Men are needed 'now to pre-

Plebiscite. Catechism
Q—What is, e Plebiscite?
A. -.A, speoial vote on a•definite ques-
tion.
Q--Wiut can ask for such a vote?
A—Any person or persons, in author-
ity in any government body, in. a
Democratic country.
Q—Are Plebiscites frequently held?
A—No, because persons in authority
are supposed) to keep in close
touch with their electorates, and
are responsible for their actions,
Q --When is a Plebiscite justified?
A—Only when the peoples' opinion is
in gnrave doubt.
Q—Is the Plebiscite on April 27th,
Justifiable.
A -Yes, because the Govt. and Parit,
decided after a long debate that
a sense of honor demand'ed it, .
Q—What is the question we are ask-
ed to vote on?
Al—In substance it is, are we willing.
to free the Govt, and incidentally
other members of Parlt. from all
Past promises to the electorate re-
garding man power for service
outside Canada, and thsts give
them full power to wage a total
war as war conditionsmay de-
mand.
Q—'Has not the Govt, that power
now?
A—Legally yes; but morally no, be-
cause of promises.
Q—Does the,vote mean that the Govt..
wants to invoke conscription of
men for service abroad?
A --No, but the Govt. wants to be
free to do so if and when it be-
came clear that voluntary enlist-
ments were not enough for an
all-out defence of Canada—or of
world freedom.
Q—Does conscription at once appear
to be necessary?
A.—No, for the Prime Minister recen-
tly said publieally that he did not
think it would be necessary for at
least another year.
Q—Has Canada so far been doing a
good war job?
A—Absolutely yes, but there is much
to be desired and much more in-
dividual effort needed in 'many
ways.
Q-- Would conscription be advisable?
A --Not so long as men volunteer as
rapidly as they can be trained
and properly equipped—One vol-
unteer is worth many conscripts.
Q—Should every one vote?
A --Unless serious illness prevents
every qualified person should, for
a failure to vote is a "No" vote.
Q—Who are qualified to vote?
A --All British subjects in the armed
forces on that date regardless of
age, and all others .of 21 years
or over.
Q --Should anyone vote "No".
A—Not unless blindness causes a
mistake.
Q—Should sympathy, parental love
er self interests or polities make
us vote "No".
A—Absolutely not in view of the
general peril.
Q—Is it'a war duty to vote.
A—Aduty and n privilege, both of
which we will be relieved of if
we lose this war.
Q—Would a big majority "Yes" vote
encourage our allies.?
A—Most decidedly ,and hurt our
enemies severely.
Q --Could the Govt. invoke conscrip-
tion in case of a majority "No
vote"?
A --Yes, but not so easy as now -and
it would likely be another case of
"Too late"
Q --Would a majority "Yes" vote
compel the Govt, to invoke con-
scription?
A—No, and itis not likely to unless
War conditions continue to grow
worse.
Q ; Will Queboe vote a big majority
"No"
A—That is her own affair—Quebec
values her freedom and liberties,
under the Br. flag more now than
ever before, more than we of
Ontario do, and her people have
always been keen to fight in de-
fence of Canada, and her vote
may shame Ontario indeed.
Q—Is a majority "Yes" vote a cer-
tainty?
A—That depends on the reason and
conscience of each of us and that
is a good omen.
Q—Would a few bombs dropped on
our homes help us decide how to
vote?
A—Sure woulda-and that may hap-
pen any trine now, as in Tokyo,
Q—Are Canadian fighters brave• and
good?
A- .The bravest and most successful.
Q—Are we willing to stand behind,
them, to .see that' reinforcements
and equipment are provided?
A•—This vote will give the answer—
. Most are, we hope and pray.
Q—Will an overwhelming "Yes" vote
give them fresh hope and deter-
urination?
A—More than words can tell.
Q --Will we do it?
',A.—You bet we must, and will.
Q—Who compiled this catechises?.

PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTEBOOKS
Do you keep a photographic notebook? It's the easiest way to remember
the facts about your snapshots, and to assure good results In the future.
THD most valuable thing in the
world, it is said, is experience.
But the question is, how can we
profit from this experience? Shall
we rely on memory alone? Photo-
graphically that isn't a very wise
plan.' It's much better to relyon a
photographic notebook—one which,
for ready reference, contains the
eeaenttal facts about each negative.
These should include: lens aperture
used; shutter speed; type of lilm
filter, if any; general light condi-
lions; time of day and location.
If you're taking pictures indoors,
jot down such data as the number
ot•lights used, distance of each light
from the subject, and exposure. You
might, if you wish, include a rough
lighting diagram.
Those facts, if you study them in
relation to your results, will be ex
tremely valuable. For permanent
reference number your negative file
to correspond to pages in your pho-
tographiceotebook, and by all means
take time to study your prints in
relation to the written facts. Ask
yourself, "Is this picture satisfac-
tory??" If so, "Why?" If not, "Why
not?"
That's the quickest way to under-
stand why your best pictures—like
the picture serving as our illustra•
tion -are really good. Furthermore,
you ' won't be letting your hard
earned experience go to waste, You'll
be conserving and using it wisely.
