Watch for them] 0-0-0 NOTES AND NEWS FROM "D" COMPANY LSSR First, a note of explanation, we intend to have a weekly column, space permitting to describe activities at the local armouries, With spring on the way we are looking forward to renewed activity and to make it successful we are looking for more members. In the old days to pass a medical, all a man had to do was breathe and walk and you were in. It's not quite that easy now, requirements are that a person must be phy- sically fit so that they can perform their duties and undergo the necessary training. So if you hanker to wear a kilt come dow to the armouries at the South Camp, Monday or Friday at 7:00 p.m, We will make arrange- ments for you to have a medical and be pro- perly signed on.
