I wonder sometimes what I'd• ever do without you. We're in the .final stage of the run up . to . Assembly Elections here! • triggering off a new intensity of violence which you may have heard about, 11 deaths in the past month alone. To -day two men have survived murder attempts, one by a booby. trap. on his farm, the other a headmaster gunned down in front of his class of ten -year-olds as he gave them relig- ious instruction. Three weeks after being shot as she left church, a 20 -year-old Sunday School teacher has died. In the midst of our own troubles, our hearts went out to you when news' came through of the bombing in Toronto. Violence is a very \strange argument, isn't it? Can the justice of any cause be strengthened by such horror? I don't think so. Our W.A.A.F. Reunion was a great success with one of the most honoured guests ex-Waaf Mrs. Irene Palmer from Toronto where her dadghter runs. a magazine, her son is a radio announcer and her husband writes, obviously a very gifted family, You'll be interested to hear that next year's reunion is to be held in' Halifax, Nova Scotia, so you can spread the word. They're hoping for a good turnout and quite a number of ex-Waafs hope to travel from Eng- land, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to take part. A. really fine three day program has been organized. One of our members who keeps, in touch with . Southern Irish ex-Waafs also hopes to travel out from Dublin, hopefully bringing a party with her. Between them niaybe they'II persuade more Canadians to attend our next Northern Ireland Reunion in 1984.' Again, many thanks for publishing my letters, Greetings to you, your staff and all my ' friends with a special "welcome home" to Mrs. Lobb. and Janet who should be safely back by the time this reaches you. Sincerely, - Mollie Whiteside. Dungannon, Co. Tyrone,. N. Ireland, Reader identifiescadets in picture. To the Editor: Re: Jamboree '83 Picture published October.13. I ' have done some back tracking in my mind after seeing the picture in the paper. No doubt by this time William Andrew in the back brow will have supplied all the missing names. Wouldn't be surprised .if some of the boys are still livingthat havenot been • named. My good wife, Orelle, went through our old pictures that we still have and found mine. 'It is bettet,than the one in the Sentinel and doubtif there are many boys still have one now. The group was called the Lucknow High School Cadets and the picture was taken in June 1918. If it was in September, . Harvey McDougall and John D. Ross should be in it. That was the time of the war and we were training for future recruits. The hats were all the same except for size and were very •smart looking. The picture could have been taken the day of inspection. We got a half holiday (afternoon) that day. There were two men in uniform up for it and we put on a good show, doing our marching and drills, etc. When the war ended, that was the end of ;the training. Where you have McClure I think it is Ian McCrae. He stayed at Dr. Elliott's and looked after his horses, later taking his daughter, Winnifred for his wife. I am going to suggest a few names; ' ask William Andrew if any of these are in there: Harold. Agnew, Cam Thomp- Cast your vote on disarmament To the Editor: There is a new movement alive in municipal politics, international in scope. We out here must tune into it. The referendum on general disarmament is a chance for people to have a voice in their future, the right to participate inwhat the United Nations has called the choice` between Disarmament and annihalation. Do the people of this area realize that some of the elected councillors are denying them the right to individually vote on this crucial question concerning the arms race and it's threat to human survival? Do they care? i propose that we be given an opportunity in the form of the enclosed ballot for people to cut out and send to - Oper`ation Dismantle, Box 3887, Station C; Ottawa, Canada. • L1Y 4MS When government negotiations on disarmament have. continued for 35 years with no concrete results and the escalating arms race makes the world daily a more dangerous place, it's time for you and I to become involved. From Pauli Sommer, R. R. # 1 Dungannon. Do you support the goal of General Disarmament and mandate your government to negotiate and implement, with other governments, the balanced steps that would lead to the earliest possible achievement of this goal? YES NO son, Morgan Henderson, Tom Alton. Was there another Murdock boy? Are there no old school records of the classes in that time? The Sentinel might . have some old school reports. (Clarence McMillan beside Alf And- rew: He looks like 'Russel McDougals chum. I was going to call and then decided to write, Sorry I. can't help you more. We hope our health will continue to be good so we can attend the reunion in 1983. Sincerely, Cecil H. Johnston. 36 .
