THE GUNNERS* COLUMN Just to bring some of tho "News" readers up-to-date it should be pointod out that in action, the gunners form the right of the line of fighting, This fact alone proves that we are ""fightin' men", 18 tO our ancestry, we merely have to refer to the fact that we have no regimental flag for the simple reason that the .rtillery has been in so many cngagements that there wouldn't be sufficient room to inscribe them all, We are indeed proud to belong to the urtillery, but now to mike you fam- iliar with our current activity, we will endeavour to give you a little inside dope on our Reserve Unit. Under the able direction of our C.O. Major Halonen and Training. Officer Major Brady, D.S.0. who has laid down a training programme that should appeal to everyone, we are well underway to becoming efficiently trained soldiers, When we first organized, we had administration and train- ing problems, but through experience and perseverance we have overcome them and hope to the most. efficient Battery on the North Shore, if not all Canada, We welcome your interest and attention in these critical times and would certainly welcome any new recruits, Parade nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays of every week, Tuesday parades are full-dress battery parades at 7:15 and on Thursdays we have specialists! training in civvies,. Here are some of the answers to the -question, "What has the Reserve got to offer us?"; 1, Comradeship. 2. Serving your coun- try. 3. Monetary return. 4. Certain skills and training. 5. Learning to take the initiative. 6, Recreation. We have a few projects lined up in the way of Recreation that will appeal to all. We try to make the training as inter- esting as possible and feature such things as Signalling, Motor Transport and N,C,.0. Courses. Not to forget the monetrry returns, the Reserve pays a full day's Regular ..rmy pay for every two nightly parades. «8 a reminder to our present mem- bers, Pay Parade is on the 12th., and 14th., of December and the Smoker will be held on December 12th., your admission ticket is your uniform. 0-0-0 Page 6 STOP THE PRESS!!! Tickets for the stage play "OUT OF THIS WORLD" nre for either Friday or Sat- urday but'in order to minimize crowding at any one particular performance it is re- quested that patrons cooperate by not planning to attend all on the same night. We appreciate the fact that this will be rather difficult to eliminate. However, if you're planning to go in a big crowd on either of the two nights, why not split up and half attend the Friday night show and the other half on Saturday, In this way you will assure yourself the best seating accommodation, o~-0-0 TRUSTE MEETINGS The regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of S.S, #1 Terrace Bay and the Improvement District will be held in the Municipal Office on Friday, December 8th., at 3:00 FM, Wet, Strubt., Secty Tres, 0-0-0 NOON HOUR MOVIES The regular monthly noon-hour movie programmes for this month, will be in the Locker Room of the Mill on Friday, Dec. 8th. and Monday, Dec, llth,, in the Cafeteria. 4 dandy programme is arriving and will feature a film entitled "Look to the Forests", a recent release on tree con- servation. o-0-0 NAV..L RECRUITING TOUR Licutenant 1i.J.
