Wars .of movement are fought on heavy rubber tires and steel caterpillar threads. Fighting ve­ hicles and mechanized transport must be kept in readiness, at all times to speed troops across all types of ter­ rain, ranging from’ smooth concrete highways to brush country and plou­ ghed fields. All this means service. Armies’and army divisions cannot count on way­ side garages and service stations to do their repair and re-fuelling jobs. To meet these needs the Department of National Defence has introduced specialized units and equipment as part of its Army Field Workshops. Each army division in the field is accompanied by two complete motor transport lorries. Each is the equiva­ lent of a modern city garage. Design­ ed by the Department’s technical staff, each unit has a special steel body mounted on six wheels with four wheel drive and heavy duty chassis. Each workshop lorry is equipped with its own electrical plant, to oper­ ate electric .grinders, drills, refacers, lathes, brake servicing equipment and other tools. Lubrication, battery service and overhauling facilities, including the boring of cylinders, the fitting ofpist- ons, valve grindtng and welding are provided in this modern garage on wheels. All tools required, espically design­ ed by the Department’s technical ex­ perts with a view to portability, are part of each lorry unit. * According to the Department of National Defence, Canada’s is the first army to adapt such units to reg­ ular Army divisions.

The pioneers who found thee were men of iron wills. But never axe and fagot e’er cleared the forests bare, For cedars, elms and hemlock flourish in glory rare, O Marnoch! Pretity Marnoch, kissed by the sunny beams! Just at thy feet the Maitland, a noble river gleams. The four crossroads dip downwards to valleys rich and green, Or upward where the wheat fields are like a fairy screen. O Marnoch! Hearty Marnoch, where everywhere was life, The earth seemed young and hopeful ■ and so were man and wife. A world had here its centre, a world without its pride— The weaver next the cobbler and then the store beside. O Marnoch! Silent Marnoch, like thee the past now sleeps. • The hills around seem lonely; flowing Maitland weeps. No! No! A day is dawning — world is ever new; Youth has its own fair vision as cars now hurry through. AUSTIN L. BUDGE Hamilton, July, 1940. the the ST.
