The 21st A/Tk. Regt., R.C.A., held
the annual Commander’s inspection in
the town park on Monday with Bat
teries from Walkerton, Goderich, Lis
towel and Wingham taking part. The
attendance was fair, but there
have been more from all the
combined.*
The 100th Bty., from Listowel,
out in full strength, complete
pipe band, which added a dash of
color to the parade. Also the Regi
mental bx-ass band was out in good
strength under the dh'ection of Band
master Bishop, of Goderich.* *
This unit would like to thank the
people who turned out to see the in
spection and drill, even though the
rain frightened most of them away.
The cool spring air didp’t help mat
ters any.* * *
For those who did not see the in
spection, the *pro&ram went something
like this: First was the "General Sa
lute" followed by the inspection of all
ranks by Brigadier T. G. Gibson,
C.B.E., D.S.O., C.D., accompanied by
Lt.-Col, E. D. Bell, OC 21 A/Tk. Regt.,
R.C.A., Major F. Gardiner, Area H.Q.,
London, and Capt. L. M. Wedd, adju
tant of the Regiment, The march
past and salute were taken by the
area commander and the troops re
turned to the park for an address by
the area commander, when he con
gratulated the unit for a good turn
out.
Then the unit put on an exercise,
named "Exercise Thunder", in which
six 25 pounders took part and all
batteries. Blank shot gun shells were
fired' to simulate the guns firing. Af
ter thisjerrific battle all ranks return
ed to the armouries for a gab fest.* * *
There were a few chuckles during
the course of the evening. The first
I noticed was when some character
had lost the dial sights off the gun.
What is a dial sight? Well, it is only
the instrument used to ah, well, it sets
the ah, well, you just can’t fire the
gun without it. Why ask me what a
dial sight is?* * *
But, all in all, it was a pretty good
show and this unit hopes to be able to
put on a few more shows for the
townspeople, just to demonstrate how
the taxpayers’ money is spent. And
speaking of .show, this unit will have
a softball team in the intermediate
loop, and we hope to see you folks
out watching our games. Of course,
the games should be good, but nothing
for the King and his Court to be wor
ried about.* * *
This is all for this week, folks, and
all you battery members are reminded
that the Meaford shoot comes off on
May 29 and 30. so be sure to be on
hand.

Chief Platt Buying
Chalk; Will Crack
Down on Parking
Two-hour parking signs have been
erected on Josephine Street during the
past week, and Police Chief T. W.
Platt says the police department is
going to crack down on drivers who
park their cars on the main street ail
day.
"We don’t want to be tough,” Chief
Platt told the Advance-Times, “but
there are too many Wingham resi
dents using the main street for a
parking lot?’
Actually/ the Chief thinks 'there has
been less all-day parking since the
new by-law Was enacted last fall.
Many of the merchants on main street
have started to park their Cars around
at the rear of their stores. However,
there are still a few who are parking
= lon the street for the day, and it is
SI these who may feel the effect of the
if!by-law in the near future,
