There, along with A Co. frorn Co- bourg and C Co. from Port Hope, they will parade at 9.45. Later they will go to Coîborne and will be joined by B Co. and proceed to church. Dinnen will be served by tac Ladies' Aid, s0 it is not necessary to bring lunches. Ail the boys are hoping that this will be as good as the swell dinner put on by the ladies at Fenelon Falls. Aftennoon will be taken up wlth a training scheme. Apparently H.Q. at Kingston thought the gathering of several hundred men at one time, as at Fenelon, was much better training than could be had in srnallcr groups. This is a parade. Garton's bus- ses will carry the crowd frorn here. Starting Thursday, parade will be dropped tili af ter the new yean.

We are certain- ly seeing lots of their country. In moving from one camp to the new one, we marched and it took us six days, twice stoppingà just outside fainly large towns. We wene aliowed to go to town. The Canadians are a fit bunch of boys, sleep outside at night with 00e blanket and ground heet. We are now in tents.

This week thene wili be a meet- ing at Biackstock Armoury to se if it is practical to start a platoon there. Unless sufficient men turn out At would be a waste of time to send instructors each weck. Monday night the OC. of the Co. and SgE Littlewood werc at a meetifig in Orono Armoury. This was held to discuss the formation of a Platoon there. About 40 mcn turned out and decided to organ- ize and drill on Tuesday and Thursday nîghts. Orono boys were vcry prominent in the Midland Regt. in forner ycars and they wili be a welcome addition to the old Regt. There is a vcry fine Armoury there and it is hopcd that the new platoon will use it to good advantage. They have several comfortable rooms that can be used for club rooms and an ex- cellent floor that no doubt will be used later in the winter for pla- toon dances. Attestation cards werc given out and are to be brought back to a meeting on Monday night when those who have passcd the M.O. can join. have been out helping wîth the harvcst which is real good this year. We sometimes think that the farmers here are slow and fussy but they get grand crops. Things were a littie cxciting here this morning when the boys heard that the Canadians had made a drive on the French coast.

Other lines grew with equal speed and by December 31, 1941, ail op- erating departments were produc- ing shells ready for the armed forces. It was pomnted out that the plant is an assembly unit with the com- ponents used being produced in other plants across 'the Domninion. In ail it comprised 2,600 acres or approximately four and one-half square rmiles and is protected by seven and one-haif miles of fence. The plant itself is divided into six sections or uines, each of which is a small plant in itself. Every possible precaution is taken to protect the empioyees as the buildings are spread out to minimize the effects of any pos- sible serious explosion. Shouid an explosion occur, Mr. Russell de- ciared, it wouid affect only one smail building and not hold up production. Expiaining that shdil cases are carefully cleaned before being charged with explosive, the speak- er said it was difficuit to visual- ize a pretty girl, dressed in over- ails, walking about quite uncon- cerned, and probably whistling, with a gallon can of T.N.T. under her arm; yet it occurred every day. Emphasizing that he was not permitted to give actual produc- tion figures, Mr. Russell stated the plant is well above its required quota and the plant is flot at ful production due to the fact that it is dependent upon other firms for certain materiais.

In addition there are from 900 to 1,000 people inspect- ing products and 375 people on the catcring staff. In addition to the hospital there are first aid rooms in charge of registered nurses, 24 hours a day, on ail asscmbly uines. The main hospital staffed with experienced doctors and nurses, had accom- modation for 12 bcd patients when it was opcned but recently has been enlarged to accommodate 36 bed patients while an isolation wing bas also been added to care for communicable diseases. The extension of the hospital was not due to the accident cases which it might be callcd upon to care for, but rather because of the medical plan for thc 2,600 cm- ployces who live in the housing project at Ajax. Employees and their familles enjoy complete medical coveragc at a cost of $1 per ycar.. Separate dormitory areas for maie and femnale workers have bcen establishéd. Each dormitory is built in a "U" shape and each accommodates approximatcly 100 persons. Each dormitory has its own common room, which is well furnished; while the rooms, each of which is equipped with two single beds, are well furnished. The girls' dormitories have a laundry room whcre washing and ironing can be donc. 12,000 Meals a Day Large cafeterias are situatcd in each housing arca and a complete cafeteria is located on cach as- sembly Une and serves a complete three-course meal. Some 12,000 meals are scrved cvery 24 hours. Despite ratîoning regulations the meals are most satisfactory. In conclusion Mr. Russell refer- rcd to the recreation centre, which in addition to dancing and movies includes a library, reading room, bowling alley, dry canteen, and games room. Open from 8 a.m. to 1.30 a.m., special programs of entertainment are arranged every day. On Sunday church services and masses are hcld and in the evcning a fireside speaker or some special feature. Admitting that the facilities for the comfort of employees might be considered elaborate, Mr. Rus- seli declared that the employce is given first consideration and it is hoped that it will resuit in higher production levels than would otherwise be the case. Rotarian A. M. Hardy introduc- ed Mr. Russell and a vote of thanks was moved by Rotarian Ross Stutt and this was passed on by President Dippeil. The speaker next Friday will be Rotarian *Mel Staples of Orono, who will give some observation§ on his recent trip to Saskatche- wan. Obituary Mrs. Frank W. Rolson Following a lengthy illness the death occurred at the family resi- dence, 75 Hogarth Street, Oshawa, on November 28th, of Beatrice H. Law, beloved wife of Frank W. Rolson. Mrs. Rolson had been in poor health for a number of years and had been confined to bcd for the past three years. The daughten of Mrs. Sarah Law and the late William Law, she was born in the Solina district of Darlington Township on Manch 5, 1892, and was a lifelong resi- dent of the Darlington and Osh- awa districts. She had resided in Oshawa for the past 32 years. She is survived by her husband and hen mother, and four daugh- ters, Mrs. Douglas Conant, Port Arthur, Mrs. Milford Eagleson, Toronto, and Misses Betty and Peggy, at home, and five sons, Leon of Oshawa, Earl and Wil- liam, Somewhere in England, Verdun with the Army Service Corps at Simcoe, and Colin with the Royal Canadian Artillery on thc east coast. Two sisters, Mrs. J. Hammond and Mrs. W. Allen of Windsor, and two brothers, Ivan of Whitby, and Claude of Winnipeg also survive. The funeral service was con- ducted by Rev. A. D. Cornett, paston of Simcoe Street United Church, with interment in Union Cemetery. A distinguished visiton to an insane asylum tried to telephone from thene but had difficulty get- ting his connection.

It wouldn't cost much to mod- ernize and sub-divide them to make comfortable homes for four families. He talked it over with his bank manager, wbo extended him a $600 loan. With the money, Hunter not only converted his cottages but took part of the joan, along with some of bis rentai income, to remodel another bouse to accommodate eight single individuals.
