"Welnesday, February 23, 1944 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE OSPREY COUNCIL British Tyneside Veterans on 5th Army Front the desert campaign rfixii' Fighting with the Allied 5th Army in Italy is a heavy A. A. battery R.A., equipped with 3.7 in. guns. This Regriment was originally enlisted on the Tyneside and, although subse- quent reinforcements have included men from all parts of the country, the Tyneside eleimcnt is Mill strongly predominant. At thft beginning of the war they did A. A. duty on their native heath, movinp to Tees-side in 1940. Later in that year they went to the Middle East and did fine work during the siege of To^bruk. After campaign tfrni- Eighth Army they took part 'in the Italian invasion and were complimented by the Fifth Army Commander for their woi-k on the beaches at Salerno. During 2% "'ears abroad the Regi- ment has accounted for 60 enemy pianos, and has seen service in Eg:ypt' Libya, Tripolitania, Syria, Palestine, Iraq and Italy. ^ Picture shows; A gunner of the battery in action â€" after firing, the gun barrel is marked out and pulled through.

Oi</it€^ U/UtfS tf U/M^s Oprey Municipal Council met in re- gular session on Sat., Feb. 12th, all the members being present. After the reading and confirming of the minutes and proceedings of the next former meeting, the following bus- iness was transacted: By-law No. 2, appropriating flO,- OOO to be spent on roads for the coming season, was passed and will be sent to the Department of High- ways for approval. The Treasurer presented a budget which, when finally revised by the Council, sets the expenditures for the year, as follows: Salaries $1850; Printing, Postage and Advertising $450; Interest on Loans ?800; Law Costs $25; Exchange $25; Insurance $275; Relief $500; Sheep and Dogs $500; Grants $750; Taxes uncollect- able $50; Hospital -icr^unts $250; Snow Plowing $500; Miscellaneous $350; which means if these figures are adopted, they will represent a considerable reduction from last year in the Township Rate for taxes for 1944. The matter of assessment was argued for a considerable length of time, as to whether the system being adopted by the County of -Grey wouldi be taken on or if the older system would still be followed. It was finally decided that the older system would be carried on this year and Mr. Jas. A. Davidson was ap- pointed as assessor for 1944. The Clerk was authorized to ad- vertise for the crushing and hauling of approximately 7,000 cubic yards of gravel, same to be delivered on the roads. General accounts ordered paid were: E.

Albert was the first person from this district whom he had seen since going overseas last August. (where appplicable), civilian police authorities, and others pertinent to the investigation, heard. For the remarkably low record of accidents, the drivers give credit fco Canadian Army Order, 3S7, "Use of Army Vt^iiclds." Set out in ihis order are the max- imum speeds for vehicles as adjudg- ed safest by Army motor experts. For instance, while passenger cars und statiiMi wagons are allowed up to 40 miles per hour, the heavier 3-ton lorries are restricted to a max- imum of 25 miles per hour. Regardless of maximum speeds listed, vehicles are not to be operat- ed at grer.ter speeds than tv,,i?e al- lowed by the Provincial or ivjtal reg- ulations. For vehicles travelling in convoy there is the rulin>g that -.I'C group be u-overned by ths cnii-^in? speed of the slowest vehicle amon^ them which must n;- <.-a:i~i'steni With traffic density and conditions. There are several other laws which have contributed to the safety record of the Service. To illustrate the Array's concern for the general public in accident prevention and motor material con- servation is this paragraph from their Ortiers: "Disciplinary action is to be taken against personnel guilty of operat- ing vehicles at speeds in excess of those laid dowm and of ca^-eless and' dangerous driving, also ,n cases rf unauthorized or irregular use of Army vehicles. It is essential that the Army set a good example for the gcr.'jral public in the matter of gasoline and' tire conservation^^ land Commanding Officers will be I held responsible for any laxity in. I their unil in complyingi with thft ' foregoing eviiliitiorLS." I Wars come and go but spring is I eternal, flowers, mellow winds, green shoots, the songs of birds, the prom- ise of summer and harvest. Some man will cu'.c'i on. What a difference a few, montha â€" in this case months of moderate wearthcr â€" make. Word comes now frjm Alberta that there is a surplus of coal on hand antt mines are being closed down. The fear that perhaps pome felt a few months ago, thai many of us would be frozen in our beds this winter, has pretty well pas- sed. The sun is gef'zig stronger, and we can probably get through any cold wearther that may yet be com- ing to us without any great amount of distress. Small x4d.
