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."
