STUDENTS'• NAMES IN WRONG PLACE A new experience greeted student The main party moved in Sun- day' and under the direction of Lieut.-Col. M. R, Oliver were quick- ly given a taste of what army life would he like under wartime con- ditions. Formed into troops, they were detailed to erecting 39 tents Which would 'be their homes for the next six days. This camp represents almost a departure from tradition for the reserve artillery unit. It is the first time singe the war years, and one of the few times since the regiment was formed back in 1935, that the summer training was not carried out On the northern ranges at Petawawa. At Petawawa the men were hous- ed in large -concrete barracks and bad indoor dining messes. At Crum- iin they have messes, but like their living quarters these are under canvas. The training program of- fers an equally-big switch. For the past fear summers the 21st merged with regular army artillery units for erianeouvres. On the Crumlin ranges, the regi- ment is conducting its own exer- cises under the direction of its own officers and NCO's. The drill with 105 howitzer-type guns is sharing a prominent place on the training schedule but this year they are silent. Targets and firings are im- aginary. At Petawawa the guns blasted live ammunition over the barren ranges. Conversely, the sub-units, how- ever, are receiving instruction in Canada's important national sur- vival program. This includes evacu- ation, rescue and 'traffic control. Man-made -contraptions present a vivid picture 'of conditions which could result from a nuclear attack and the militiamen are obtaining first-hand instructions on how to deal with such situations.

In speak,. ing of her health and her ability to 'do housework, she said, "I think I'm geting lazy." Mrs. Conn can well remember when the country was nearly all bush and the men had to work all winter to clear a new field for the spring. She said, "We were happy and contented in the old days, and to- day it is all rush." The biggest changes im the way people live, she said, have been brought about by the advent of cars and electric- ity, '"We couldn't even 'get along without them today,'.' she remark- ed.
