The Seaforth News, 1942-05-07, Page 7THURSDAY, MAY 7, 194a THE SJA.FORT NEWS PAA SWUM' hide behind 11? The hedge—and you '--will be cut apart with machine -gull fire," Night Stealth -Work In stealth -work at night, ordinary infantry (valuing in panzer ambush- ing and laager raiding has sharpened Canadian senses and abilities im- mensely, Troop -movement by ngltt, when silence is a matter of life and death, is a fine art in itself. Socliffs must be sealed without a loosened rock to give warning, The raidersof a panzer laager in the dark of the moon must arrive at the scene and go into action with the suddenness of terrifying phantoms, We have watched such a Canadian stealth patrol take out an "enemy" sentry so silently and suddenly and expert- ly that not a gasp, a snuffled curse, the chink of metal or the clatter of a falling rifle gave warning. The modern raider does not have to Dross that narrow etretoh called "No M'an's Land," as he did in the last war. But thedark is still death pregnant, and the night still listens with the same bated breath. Stealth is still the raider's great ally. It is also that of the modern infantry- man, so much of his training is at night, and in utter silence. One • over-riding purpose of the Commandos' arduous grind is to make team -fighting possible despite utter darkness. The Canadians seek that same nocturnal proficiency. It reveals the strange truth that there' is much "Boer war" atmosphere to today's infantry tactics, and also the unexpected fact that modern mech- anized warfare has resurrected the methods of the Indian and border guerrila, 'Cyon the Canadian infantryillahl's equipment has been adjusted for stoatth-work. in the field, the gas respirator is not worn across the breast at the "alert," It is slung at the side and out of the way for stalking, Even firing from the prone Position was hampered by the respir• ator across the breast, The bayonet is also moved; the sabbarded "cold steel" is now carried behind one shoulder instead of slung from the bolt. Also Infantry Tactics Such things as "gun crawling"; the habit of always having an extra magazine of alrlittnlhition In your pocket; how to wade and swim rivers under full fighting equipment; how to handle barb -wire hidden under water, and still get across; watel'- manship. with assault boats and in- vasion barges, are all called Com- mando "tactics," but they are also Canadian infantry habits. Physical fitness is, of course, a first requisite of either the Canadian infantryman or the Commando raid- er. The normla process of hardening is almost unceasing; when certain activities seen likely to cause a let down in a Canadian battalion, special hardening training is quickly added to the' weekly syllabus. 'Canadians are constantly undergoing a sort of super-p.t. which is enjoyed rather than allowed to become a drudgery, All Canadian infantry battalions must be able to march 25 mutes a clay anti finish fresh. 7n a pinch thg must do 70 miles in 3 days. In such long moves they would normally be CAN NOW BE BOUGHT AT AIRWAYS MOTOR 011.

Fast Marching Time The Commandos are said to have 1 marched 67 miles In 23 hours, and '7 utiles in an hour, under full fighting kit, • The Canadian infantryman is wisely not asked for such a test at suet a racing pace.

He is very seldom the. type of manwho has a reputation as barroom battler, The hot-tempered, loud -mouthed, careless or reckless man is as dreaded by stealth raiders as the clumsy or timid.

Fire Chief Has Broken Ribs S'h'e Chief George Beacom is nurs- ing three fractured ribs received when he accidentally fell off his wagon last Thursday while engaged in patching macadam roads . The pump in a drum of road tar, atop the wagon, was not working freely and as he sought to loosen it up he fell backwards to the ground, pulling the barrel over to top of hits. He will be as good as ever in a few days, the doctor says,—Goderich Signal -Star, No 011 Found in Teeswater District - After three unsuccessful attempts to find gas or oil in the Teeswater district, a drilling crew employed by the Dominion Gas Company, which operated in Culross township :for sev- eral months, have finally dismantled the machinery and pulled up the casings in preparation for .departure to other parts. Geologists have stout- ly maintained that there was oil und- erlying the district, and practically all the farms in the area have been under lease to various companies during the past few years. But the unsuccessful efforts to tap the much- needed sources of the "black gold" will doubtless postpone any further searches of this nature for some time to come. To Erect Hostess Building At Port Albert— While an official announcement has not yet been made it is said the Y.W.

BLUEPRINTS, GO WHITE The engineer's prints without which Britain could not produce a single battleship, .tank, or aeroplane or even the smallest nut or bolt, are changing their colour. The tradition- al "blueprint" is gradually being re- placed by papers giving diagrams in black, blue or brown on white in- stead of white diagrams on bine. The new prints, made by the dye - line process, are positive instead of negative. They can not only be pro- duced much more quickly and in a smaller space but they give a clear - 1 er background and a stronger line less subject to fading, so helping' the thousands of women and other inexperienced recruits in war pro- duction. Moreover, the paper does not shrink, as does the "blueprint" or ferro paper, and the designs are therefore more true to scale, an- other advantage to the semi -skilled. A valuable feature is that the sur- face is particularly suitable for re- ceiving ink lines or colour tints. Dyeline prints are produced by two processes. In one, the dry pro- cess, rocess, the developer is incorporated in the paper itself, and when this is ' run over a light with the original tracing andsubjected to ammonia gas, the drawings appear on the 1 blank sheet as if by magic. In the other, the semi -dry process, a spec- ial solution is spread, by means of a simple machine, over the surface of the print.
