The release, issued by Cen- tral Command headquarters at Oakville, also disclosed that all militia units will send their officers and NCO's to train at Camp Niagara. This changes the plans of the 21st Field Regi- ment which had been counting on returning to the artillery camp at Petawawa after an ab- sence of several years. The three batteries sent all ranks to Camp Niagara last summer but for the three pre- vious years they trained at Camp Crumlin, outside London. Nature of the militia re- organization will not be known until the government has con- sidered the report a commission of nine senior militia officers will tender later this year. It is known, however, that the new militia role will re-emphasize basic military skills — and this, no doubt, had a bearing on camp plans.

The aim will be to build a base of in- structors among the various units for the re -organization which is scheduled to go into effect this fall. Lieut -Col. L. G. Vickars, Listowel, commanding officer of the 21st Field Regiment, ex- pressed disappointment overnot being able to take his men to Petawawa where they get a week's concentrated training on the guns but believes under the circumstances the switch in plans is a wise one. "Naturally we are disappoint- ed isappointed at the cancellation of the unit camp at Petawawa as with our regiment the mixing of men from our three counties at this type of camp has a great value in building up esprit -de -corps and welding the men into one regiment. "Considering the uncertain- ty of the future composition of the militia, however, the pro- posed summer training has a de- finite advantage in preparing key militia personnel for what- ever military role is designed for the 21st Field Artillery Regi- ment," said Col, Vickars. The commanding officer said there would be no immediate change in the training schedule of the regiment, however. And all ranks will still be given the privilege of firing the 105 mm Type howitzer guns with live ammunition. "We are planning a shoot at Meaford on the week- end of March 14-15." He added: "We have no in- timation as to the future of our regiment as militia and will not know until results of the Commission's report are re- leased." Lieut, -Col. Vickars dis- closed that officers and NCO's UCW Plans QuiIIing Bee GORRIE--"Worship is to Christian living what the main- spring is to the watch." This was the theme of the Gorrie United Church Women's meet- ing last Wednesday in the Sun- day School room. Leaders were Mrs. Ewart Whitfield and Mrs. Robert Strong of Unit 1. Four ways of the Means of Grace were dealt with. These were prayer, which is a direct and open line to ear - ry messages between God and ourselves; reading of Scripture; common worship and the sacra- ments. Peggy Carson sang "Bless This House". Susan and Peggy Carson gave a piano duet. Mrs, Kenneth Hastie reported on Community Friendship and Mrs, E. W. Whitfield reported 106 Observers ordered. The president, Mrs. Glad- stone Edgar, discussed the North Huron Presbyterial which will be held in James Street United Church, Exeter, on March 18, and delegates were appointed. The four units plan a mamoth all day quilting bee in the church on March 4 for overseas relief, and units are to be re- sponsible for clothing for five children for the supply alloca- tion, from the regiment will go to Camp Niagara with 18 Militia Group in the week of June 28 to July 4. One branch of training which will not be affected by militia re -organization is the student militia course. Lieut -Col. Vickars said this training will again be carried out by the 21st Regiment. "I am glad to see that the Student Militia summer train- ing is to continue, In my opin- ion there is inestimable value in teaching young men disci- pline and basic skills in first aid and survival. It is also my opinion that regardless ofwheth- er these men stay with the mil- itia, they will have attained a self confidence and awareness of authority that can not help but make them better citizens' The student militia course is open to students in the Listowel, Wingham and Walkerton areas. Last year courses were conduct- ed at Listowel and Wingham armouries. General Kitching in his re- lease, however, said that the curtailed summer camp plan for militia units applies to this year only.
