V If .You Can't Go t Active, Go Reserve A general, call to the colours of the Reserve Army is heralded with the announcement that `throughout Mili- tary District No. 1 the period. from April 10th to 25th is ,being set aside for a district -wide recruiting cam- paign to bring the Reserve Army un- its up to full strength. With Canada's Active Army now ready to; engage the foe in Europe, a serious responsibility rests upon the reserve army to provide a trained force for the purpose of repelling any possible attack on; Canada's shores, At present many of the Reserve units have been greatly depleted by reason of enlistments in the Active Army Some units have only 50 per cent of the strength which they had six Months age. New blood is needed. The forthcoming campaign for re- cruits will enlist the co-operation of newspapers, radio stations, service clubs, churches and patriotic organiza- tions of all kinds in the eleven coun- ties of Western Ontario. Local coin- mittees in each town and city will head up the campaign in their respec- tive localities. The District Committee in charge of the drive is headed by Col. W. A. Haggerty, D.S.O., Officers Commanding the 31st Reserve Infan- try Brigade Group, spearhead of the Reserve Army in M.D.1. Stressing that more recruits are ur- gently- needed for the Reserve Army, Col. Hagerty explains 'the situation as follows. "We are in the midst of a critical period of the war. The Reserve Army has a vital role to perform in this emergency, It may be needed to de- fend Canada against a possible at- tack. Apart from that, a strong and trained Reserve Army means that more men from the Active Army can be spared for overseas service. If an invasion of Europe takes place, reinforcements for the Canadian Army will be imperative. Hence the importance of making available every possible member of the Active Army "Many people are inclined to over- look the importance of the Reserve Army as a feeder to the Active Army. Thousands of men, who were not in the callable age groups under the N.R.M.A., have joined the Reserve, taken a liking to the army and gone active voluntarily. This explains why some Reserve units are now below strength. Another important function of the Reserve Army hies in training 17 and 18 -year-old boys: By learning the rudiments of soldiering now, they are preparing themselves to serve their country in the army when they come of. age. "Many of the men wanted now by the Reserve Army •will be found among those who were too young for the last war and who think they are too old for this war. These men now have a chance to make a definite con- tribution to their country's defence. Alctually the 40 -year-old men . are the backbone of the Reserve Ariny.” It is pointed out that a great im- provement in the equipment situation for the Reserve Army has taken' place in recent months, with many hinds (Of weapons 'aped ;training: vehicles now available in ample quantities. This equipment will beseen in the form of a "travelling circus" through- out MtD• 1 during the next two weeks. Men are needed now to learn how to handle these guns and vehicles. Eligible for the R,eserve'Aemy are boys of 17' and 18 years of age and all men up to 50 years age who are not .callable under the provisions of the N.R.M.A. Military District No. 1 could use 6,000 new recruits to fill the. vacancies naw existing in the author- ized strength of its Reserve Army units. Membership . in the Reserve Army is ,something ef which every man can be ,proud. He will have the satisfaction of knowing that he is taking his peeper place in his coun- try's• defence. Moreover, it is hoped that the Reserve, units will have the whole -hearted ;support oftheir coin inunities, which to often has' been lacking in the, past. Only thus can. the morale axis esprit de corps of the Reserve Army be built up and main tained." R.A.F.
