Day werb in charge of the devotional period with the purpose of this pre­ sentation to answer the question which is often asked, “If people are content with our religion, why mis­ sions?” If Christianity has no more to offer than other religions there is no need for Christian missionaries ” Take ing part were Mrs. J.

Following the benediction, lunch was served by the group in charge, On Parade! by ’’Windy” The RHQ and 99th Battery of the 21st Field Regiment held their regu­ lar Monday night training and was in very good attendance. In fact a few extras as officers from th© other batteries were visiting, plus a few of the high school boys who are under age and are waiting around to see what goes op. so they may have an idea when they enlist. 0-0-0 The first big item of news was the battery ball team, which lost out to Madoc in the final round of the pro­ vincial title. - We feel a little sad about it. In fact old Windy had a shelf all dusted off for the trophy tq be placed on. Now all I can put up there is my spikes (or my hide,) but as the famous last words go, “You qan’t win them all." Best of luck to all those connected with the team for a fine year. After all, 28 games Without a loss is pretty good going. 0-0-0 Next news item of interest was the 99th Battery re-union held here on Saturday night. It must have been a howling success as everyone had a very enjoyable time. They always do when good friends get together, in fact it is the only time a fellow can tell his old officers and Sgt.-Majors where to go and get away with it. Where do they tell them to go? Well, let’s say that place will never freeze over, 0-0-0 On Monday evening WO2 “Buck" Sinnamon was in charge of gun drill, with very few gunners I might add, as the majority were upstairs writing one of those “M” tests. Our hero struggled on and decided it was a good time to clean up the guns. No, they didn’t find Bdr. Borden Jenkins amid the pieces, he was busy giving rifle drill to new recruits. I was surprised to see one of our, shall we say lean gunners, used as a cleaning rod for the barrel. “Buck”, you should tell him that is not the way. 0-0-0 The signal section was busy up­ stairs learning about the switchboard. Not from a "hello girl," much to their disappointment, but from Gnr. “Sad Sack" Elliott. He must have known what he was talking about as the boys did not get the lines all mixed up or have the conversation sound like Chinese fire drill. 0-0-0 The MT section was in lecture all evening, given by Bdr. “Pop" Arthur on the electrical system of a vehicle. It was very interesting, at least it must have been, as I had to tell them twice it was 10 o'clock and time to knock off. Personally, I think a couple of the boys were having car trouble and wanted to know how to fix it. What, no “Do-it-yourself" kit? 0-0-0 The band is still practicing for the November 11th parade, and is sound­ ing better every practice. Let’s hope all members of the band show up for the parade or Sgt. Harry Newell will have a fit. Please don’t disappoint him, fellows. I hate to see a grown man weep. 0-0-0 Sgt, “Specks” Dawson had quite a time in the QM Stores with his CCM. No, not his bicycle, Casey Casemore, Carl Casemore and Charley Moore. Now that "Specks” Dawson has these new cheaters, he has the boys do all the eyestraining part, An amusing in­ cident took place While “Specks” was WOLF W4NDFKS TO CENTRE OF CITY Humane society employee, Jack Newman, examines the body of ah animal shot by Toronto police and pronounces it a brush Wolf. The animal, wandered al­ most to the centre of the city before an alert taxi-driver recog­ nized it as "no dog” and called police. It was the first time a wolf had pentraied beyond the suburbs of the city without being recognised.

The clerk, (a girl by the way,) said, “I don’t mean to be rude, but how did you ever get: such a hoop in your horn?” The truth is he stopped a car with his hose, Until next week, so long.
