NORMAN'S "Counter's for Finer Jewellery for over Half a Century in Huron County" CLINTON ONTARIO, THURSDAY, RECRUITING MEETING FOR MILITIA 40 MEN NEEDED IN CLINTON ''In an effort to bring .the Huron - Middlesex up Regiment to full peace g time strength a number of recruit- ing meetings were held in this district on Saturday. The meeting here was net largely attended although the ad- dress given by Lt. -Col. Hamilton Bingle merited a large audience. The speaker was introduced by Capt. H. McIntyre who stated it was the hope that a sufficient number of mew • would be attested so that the regiment would be able to take its proper place in the Canadian Active Service Force to represent the coun- ties of Middlesex and Huron when called. Gol. Bingle opened his address by remarking that the old idea of re- cruiting needed to be changed some- what. Canada is a free country and it is not the intention of our leaders to make enlisting compulsory. "Mr. Hitler will likely supply the compul- sion but England always wins the last battle", he said. He then, went on to say y Canada will use the active non -permanent militia as the army of this country. Already one division has been called across Canada to represent the nation if the necessity arises. In the meantime those not yet called for the C.A.S.F. should go ahead and train since no one knows how many men will be needed. "Don't minimize the defence of Canada," he said. "This country Is of enormous size and if Hitler ac- complishes tvhat he hopes to in Eng- land and ' Francewe may becalled upon to defend our shores and it won't be a small task". For that reason we must be prepared for any eventuality by extensive training. Naturally this must be accomplish- ed as cheaply and quickly as possible. Therefore it is the desire to go ahead with training at local headquarters. The training will be conducted in a local building, under local officers, possibly two nights a week. The pur pose of this is that those enlisting in the militia may continue their regular daytime occupations yet re- ceive military training in such a way that it will not interfere with their civil life. • "What will the men learn?" First, a thorough knowledge of military law is necessary, also physical training. Map reading, field sketching, military orders. All these are along the same lines, no matter what regiment or battalion, and the men preparing themselves by home training are equipping themselves for promotion. When the army is in the field it Is well nigh impossible to find men who are ready for promotion. Pre- viously .they have received the pro- motion and learned by experience af- terward. Yterward. Another logical argument in favor of training was advanced by the speaker he he said the best train- ed units have the least casualties. As for regiments on a full time basis, recruits must be Al men. They should state fully their qualifications so as to be fitted into their special niche, Itis obvious that a carpenter would net be competent as a signal- ler. In the event that the regiment is called for full time service the soldier is given the chance to transfer to another unit, C'ol. Bingle also spoke briefly on statements which have appeared In the press from time to .time that the government will not drain her resources by taking key men from industry. In every case they will determine who shall and who shall not be accepted. Canada is expected to be the granary and arsenal for Britain and France and industry wilt not be crippled by taking men neces- sary for the efficient running of her industries. Mr. Clarence May of Lord Tweeds- enuir Branch of Canadian Legion, London, pledged the support of that branch and offered to assist hi any way, Col. H. B, Combe moved a hearty vote of thanks to Lt. -Col, Bingle. The band headed the parade of local legion members as they marched to the park prior to the meeting. The band also gave a number of selections in front of the town' hall.' Rext Saturday evening meetings will be held at W'ingham, Exeter and Brussels, also in Middlesex County. Those from this district desiring in- formation should get in touch with Capt: H. McIntyre, Lieut. H, C. Law- son or members of the local branch Canadian ' Legion who, are co-operat- ing.
