Some 15 boys from the three communities attended, the camp being conducted by Mr. and Mrs. 'Wm. Patterson, their minister and his wife. The camp site is on the Beaver river, has almost everything to recommend it from g^ood sports grounds to good spring water for drinking and refrigeration. The camp program featured, besides three outdoor meals a day, Bible study and sing-songs around the camp fire, soft ball and daily dips in the icy Beaver. Ideal weather added to the enjoyment. Friday evening the parents and some friends of the boys came out for the camp fire program, after which the camp broke up and the boys returned to everyday life. Those present at the camp were: Mac Love, Delbert Fowler, Everett Scott and Bob Scott of Hopeville, Jim, Paul, R. J. and Ger- ald Patterson and Leslie Duncan of Inistioge, Vem Corbett, Bill Mar- shall, Bob Dingwall, Ken Bates, Rus- sell Lee and Everett Lockhart of Pro- ton Station.

The bride who was gl.en away by her father,, wore a gown of white or- ganza embroidered in lovers knot;, fashioned with a high neck and long tight-fitting sleeves with the skirt falling into a short train. Her finger tip veil was caught by a halo of or- ange blossoms and pearls, and she carried an arm bouquet of Sweetheart roses and baby's breath. Miss Evelyn Cheney, who was her sister's maid-of-honour and the brid- esmaid Miss Dorothy Jamieson, sister of the groom, were gowned alike in floor-length frocks of ehiifon with matching shirred jackets and they wore small halo hats of the same material and they carried arm bou- quets of sweetheart roses and baby's breath.

Aujrust. 18th, 194#. to Mr. and Mrs. John MacMillan, Priceville, a son â€" Robert John. WILSON â€" In Markdale Hospital, on Sunday, August ISth, 1940. to Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Wilson, (nee .\melia Dnvis), a daughter. Bronzed and apparently in the pink of condition the local representatives of the 2nd Battalion of the Grey and Simcoe Foresters Regiment arrived home Saturday evening from two weeks under canvass at the miKtary training camp at Niagara-on-the- Lake. The trip home was without incident, the troops travelling by boat to Toronto and then by special trains to their homes in their respective dis- tricts. The Durham contingent were taken to their homes by train which left the remainder at Saugeen Jet. while it backed up to pick up its four cars and deliver them to their north- ward destinations. For most of the boys attending the camp it was the first taste of mili- tary life and after the flrat couple of days settled into the groove of duties and training and most of them were sorry to have to return home so soon. The first week in camp the weather was real hot and all had sunburns to nurse, but the second week was just the reverse with cold nights and rain, causing considerable siclmess. While the Medical Officer was extra busy most of the time with sickness of various forms, there was not any more than in other years as there were four times the number of men in camp. Every day commenced at 6 a.m. daylight saving time and at 6.15 the boys were all out taking ther physi- cal training and enjoying it, too. Then came the job of folding blank- ets and placing them in orderly rows in front of their tents and cleaning up the lines, followed by breakfast and preparing for the morning par- ade at 8.15, followed by platoon drill and lectures on various subjects per- taining to military activities. The morning period lasted until 12 noon and the afternoon period from 1.45 to 4.30, when the men were free for the evening, except those who had duties to perform. All ranks were worked hard while in camp, but this was to be expected at a time like this and the men entered into their duties with a zest, determined that they would make as good a showing as possible. The officers were greatly satisfied with the progress the troops made while in camp. Coming home they did not appear to be the same men who had gone to camp two weeks previously. 'While the military camp is finished for the battalion this year, training will still continue in the local head- quarters every week until the requir- ed number of days are completed, with two or three evenings each week being given for further training. The regimental band played for several route marches, one of them being for a distance of five miles on the Sunday, following a church par- ade, when over 5,000 men in camp marched past Col. Sm.vthq, Camp Commandant, who took the salute on the main street of the little town at the mouth of the Niagara River. .Vnother march was for four miles *outh on the i-iver road toward Queenston, a route followed by Gener- al Isaac Brock on that memorable day in 1S12. Brock's monument was in -isrht when the return journey was camp. On another occasion a night march w:^s made up the same road, marching by bearings, which the men ^h,1roughly enjoyed. .A visit to the rifle range Thursday morning was brought to a quick close when rain lescended in .sheets, everyone receiv- ed a thorough soaking. The firing ivas continued Friday morning, follow. (1 by a tactical scheme in the area adjoining the rifle range, assisted liy •1 battery of artillery. These tactical exercises will be continued in the .raining during the next few weeks. While there was considerable work for all ranks, there was also the lighter side to camp life and many nranks were played on unsuspecting victims. "W Company .adopted a kitten that had wandered into camp and made one of the tents as home, dividing its attention between the tent and the company orderly room. Then there were the explosive epithets of the Sergeant-Major in his attempts to have his company on the P.T. area first each morning. While many were reluctant to leave "amp, many others were (tlad to get home and escape the ever-lasting command of "fall in," and have a warm and comfortable bed in which to lie and recall the last couple of cold night!" when the colli became so severe. Decks have been cleared for the mobilization of man-power for home defence and the stage set for the mili- tary training plan that will summon approximately 30,000 young Canad- ians to camp each month to be taught fundamentals of modern soldiering. Until men, certified fit for train- ing, reach their designated camps and are turned over to military authori- ties of the Department of National Defence responsibility for arrange- ments lies with the Department of National War Service. The class will be called October 1st. The first task to be tackled by the Department is the classification and idexing of all registration cards, ac- coi"ding to age groups for men and women, single and married. Regis- trars in each constituency and district registrars attached to the boards in each of eleven military districts and in Prince Edward Island are conduct- ing this tabulation. Single men between the ages of 21 and 45 are liaible to be called to train during the first year. The Depart- -lent of National War Services will call up the men by groups, starting with those 2i years of age in October, as the Department of National De- fence makes known its requirements. These men will be medically examined as near as possible to their place of registration. All men in category Cl or better will be considered fit for training. Transportation will be pro- vided free for men to attend medical examination and to proceed to one of the 30 or more training centres. It is expected there will be eight calls within the year.
