The roll call, “What Makes a Good
Farm Wife”, brought interesting res
ponses. Mrs. E. H. Strong brought
comments on the motto* “Every blade
of grass is a study, and to produce
two, where there was one, is a profit
and a pleasure.” She said that im
poverished soil is responsible for,, some
of the ills of human life, and to build
up farm soil for future generations is
very worthwhile.
An article on modern trends in
farm machinery and the new push
button gadgets for the kitchen and
home was read by Mrs. C. Wilson.i (Some Fordwich items held over for

The command post exercise went
along as scheduled under the direc
tion of Lt. R. P, Ritter and with two
very capable assistants, Officers Cadet
McIntyre and Hiseler. The No. 1 of
the gun was Sgt “Wild Will” Wells,
and at the end of the evening he was
pretty hoarse. In fact he may have
had a little colt. That was a sneeky
one, eh? He had a good man on the
gun crew in the person of Sgt “Buck”
Sinnamon, who opened and closed the
breech of the gun. It’s the same old
story—the biggest man has the easiest
job, like in a band where the man
playing the flute usually weighs
about 250.
Bdr “Mighty” Stapleton was short
of men in the signal section, due to
the hockey game. Three of his sig
nallers are on the team. They are
Gunners Foster, Lott and Campbell.
If they are as good signallers as they
are ball and hockey players, we should
have the best signal section at camp
this year.

The QM stores were comparatively
quiet all evening after Hurricane
Hazel went through. The hurricane
was the annual ordnance inspection.
Like all storms it’s the cleaning up
after. Sgt Lloyd Dawson is trying to
find a few things that have either
been lost, strayed or stolen. Don’t
worry, Lloyd it will all come out in
the wash, Let’s hope it is in the
form of khaki shirts.
This is all this week, but look for
the Armouries news and views next
week.
