A Chance To
Go Overseas
No, 1 Forestry -Draft Company, C.
E. F., now being raised by Major J.
S. Taylor, in this district, with
headquarters at Loudon, Ont., is
proving a most popular unit. One
hundred men have been attested in
the first two lviceks and when it has
reached its establishment of 180 it
expects to proceed overseas. Fores-
try companies are employed in the
parks and forests of Britain and
Southern Frazee converting the trees
into suitable lumber for use at tie
front. Some of the reasons why this
Company is filling up so quickly are:
(1) It affords an oppprtunityi for
men who have been turned down for
other units, owing to slight physical
detects, ,to go overseas, since the
physical standard is lower, Men are
accepted, who are 4 feet IL inches
and over In height, from 18 to 18
pears of age, and who have the loss
of one eye, two fingers or two toes,
(2) There -is extra pay for exper-
ienced lumber men running front
$1.25 to $3.00, per 'hay, with all al-
lowances given to other C. re, F.
units. But a man must be able to
make good, (3) These companies en-
joy the most comfortable quarters—
living in huts near the work, . As.
well as experienced lumber hien,
teamsters, carpenters, blacksmiths
and laborers a.re required., Iavery-
man who has, served 5 months ant
any part of it has been overseas is
entitled to 3 months' pay and atl-
Iotvutces on. discharge and all other
grants, to C, E. F. men such as
scripts. Ally man who is interested
in this company can obtain any fur-
ther information by Writing Major
J. S. Taylor, O. C. No. 1 !Forestry

don, Ont., or sec Lieut. McLellan, re-
cruiting officer, who expects to he in
