WEEKEND OUTlflOK Friday Juui 11 11 Youll get no promotion this side of the ocean Comrades comrades Ever since we were boys Sharing each others pleasures Sharing each others joys Every time I hear that old ar my song on the Ray Sooin show Calling All Britons I think of my third day in the army I gave up strategic ground A nono My orders were to guard boxes of booze for the Officers Mess No one came out and said it was booze but the boxes were clearly marked with familiar names like Seagrams Walker Corby Dow Black Horse Ale and Canadian Breweries It was an important posting The strange unfamiliar officer told me to watch this pile of boxes til the mess stewards arrived to set up the bar and under no cir cumstances was I to let my guard drop I was so anxious to serve and obey I saluted with my left hand A grave mistake in the ar my It certainly was a hectic day We were moving into the old Standard Wire and Cable factory in Hamilton and it was to be known as Standard Barracks Everyone was assigned some duty and it happened I was the next guy to be given a specific job Thats how I was entrusted with the officers most important military stock Everyone seemed anxious to do what was necessary to get the Regiment settled in and naturally there were some of us who wanted to show leadership qualities and perhaps rise to the outstanding rank of a Lance Cor poral or even Corporal within a day or two Alas my military career took a turn for the worse when it was discovered I had been fooled into giving up a few bottles of rye to Stories by Steamer comrades who told me with a straight face if questioned by any superior as to who got a bot- tie I was only to divulge my rank name and number My instructions were to guard several boxes marked Seagams Walker Corby Dow Dawes Black Horse Blue Tap and OKeefe The moving dragged on and every so often an officer would show up to ask if everything was in order Then pokerfaced Charlie Boyle showed up and whispered in my ear Richards had sent him over to get a bottle of rye and I was to say nothing Charlie and I were in the same platoon Charlie Company he was a com rade a few years older than me and a fine Judge of rye whisky It never dawned on me the boys had sent Charlie to test my military resolve and as a buddy I willingly helped Charlie make sure he got the rye he told me Lt Richard had specifically in structed him to get Charlie slipped away quietly nodding a silent thank you Gosh I hadnt hardly had time to concentrate on my duties when sandyhaired ruddyfaced Don McPhail was whispering in my ear with a slight odor of rye on his breath Lt Webb had asked him to pick up a bottle Once again with dispatch I made sure Don got the right crock for a deserv ing officer By this time Charlie and Don were two of the most popular guys in Standard Barracks When the dust and fatigue had slowed the pace they provided a quick pickmeup to deserving com rades They were kind enough to say to those thankful souls who paused for refreshment that I was certainly to be thanked also My dereliction of duty certainly made me popular with the troops but a traitor as far as the officers were concerned There was hell to pay when the mess steward arrived to set up the officers mess and they discovered I had failed to guard the crown jewels By this time some of the of ficers arrived whose names had been used by Charlie and Don to lift a bottle and upon the threat of a firing squad were demanding the culprits names I was steadfast in my resolve not to tattle on buddies who en joyed a drink You probably wonder what the outcome was of my failure Well lets put it this way every time I Crossborder shopping hurts dairy industry By HOB SAVAGE Toronto Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Cross border shopping may be seriously harming On tarios dairy industry Delegates to the Ontario Milk Marketing Boards annual meeting in Toronto Wednesday heard that the federal government must act to reduce the number of
