For tne past few weeks so many ad- dcesses have been handed in thrit we have found it impossible to print them, much aa we would like to do so. So many soldier boys have been "watched" and "addressed" that we could fill the piper with such matter, and have there- fore to cut them all out for a short time at least. *V hen the Grey Battalion has left for the front this will be eased off and normal conditions r«]turn. Other local papers are in the same position and have been obliged to adopt a like atti- tude. Proton Guild visited with the Guild here oD Tuesday evening of last week, when a very enjoyable evenin? was spent. There waa a contest on between the boys and eirls of the Guild hare, covering a period of four weeks, in which the girls were victorious and the young men hid to supply the lunch. There were 24 visitors present. This visit had bean promised for some time but weather con- ditions interfered. Mr. Frank Duncan, President of the Guild, occupied the chair. Mr. J. C. Crane, of Owen Sound, re- ceived word a few days ago that his son, Pie. George Crane of the 20th battalion formerly of Hanover, had been wounded « the front in France but a card received later gave the information that the wound was not of a sefioiis nature and that after a few days in the hospital he was able to return to his post. The wound was in the back where be was struck by a piece of shrapnel. Young Crane is a nephew of Postmaster Trimble. Mr. Harry Piper's horse ran away at the stiition one day last week, becoming frightened when crossing the railway track. It ran into and smashed Radlev 8 pump. The cutter was smashed and Mr. Piper was pitched out and had his shoulder dislocated, lie was also other- wise injured and is under the doctor's ore. The accident was a bad one and much spmpathy is expressed for Mr. Piper, '.vho has had his share of accidents. It is only a year since Mrs. Piper suffer- ed a broken limb, from which she has scarcely yet fully recovered. The box social held by the I'. & D. girts in the town hall ou Friday uight l.kst waa quite successful, considering other eiigageiuents in the vi(;inity. The boxeswere auctioned off by Miss Lowndes of the public scho il staff, and Miss Hazel Henry of the Club occupied the chair. The program was excellent and consisted of soloa by Miss Edna Acheson and Miss Binuie of Proton, readings by Harold ^icLe,in and Marjory Acheson, and a playlet by Inis'iogo young people. The proceeds amounted to t36. There was considerablrt amusement surrounding the disposal of the boxes. Ono Markdale young man, who was somewhat enthusi- as'ic over a certain kind of box, put up $2 25 to secure it, and considered, ((uite justifiably, that ho got a bargiiii. Inoculation Drill Owen Sound, March 21.â€" Inoculaiionj which has proved to be such a trouble.- some proposition ilf so many traiiiini; camps,is proceeding merrily in the H7th Grey Overseas Batt.iliuii at Owen Sound. The men are treating inocilatijn and vaccination in a light vein and everyone, ritUcers and men in the ranks alike, have betn taking the needle with a smile. In fact a visit to the town hall on an even- ing when inoculation is goiiii? on ia as good a.s a concert, and the occasion always gives birth to a number of original jokes on the subject of the Medicii OtBcer and his little hypo machine, in addition to the usual stereotyped jokes. But then a company ot soldiers is always in good spirit, at least th«^ 147th boys are. There is nerve to spare among them, and it is indicative of ihe spirit which pervades the battalion to dud the otttcers and men of the battalion minding together for their inoculation, jollying one another with the greatest good will and camrad- eric, making an enjoyable evening of what might otherwise be a long and ted ious undertaking fraught with misgiving on the part of any who might unfortun- ately be somewhat loath to be inoculated. Taking as a typical example Tuesday ev- ening when "B" Company, Captain Mercer, waa pumped full of anti- typhoid germ. On this occasion the Medical Of- ticer. Capt. Boys, assisted by his dispen- ser and by Lieut. Joyce inoculated over 2O0 men in an hour and a half or a little better. -\. dab of iodine on the left up- per breast and the 8({uirt of a cubic cent- imetre of the prepsration,one half billion of germs.an absolutely painless opex-atiop, and it was all over. In a week or 10 days the next application will be given and with a billion beneficent little germs rushing through their healthy, robust bodies, the soldiers of the I47th will be able to laugh at typhoid fever, one of the fatal scourges among tbe diseases which strike armies. It is worthy of note that in this battal- ion the process of inoculation is carried out much mora speedily than in probably any other battalion in the district, every- thing being thoroughly prepared before- hand, and owing to the fact that the sol- diers have been carefully warned what to do after getting the shot of germ there has been virtually no after trouble. The naen are given 24 hours off drill following their inoculation and this gives them time to recover from any effects, though, as a matter of fact, about all that happens af- ter anti-tvphoid inoculation is that the person taking it may become drowsy for a short time, an hour or so. ll is hardly necessary to remark that the men who have been inoculated make much cf it at the expense of those whj are still to have it, aud wh^n discussing it with those uieu the ones who have been "needled" exa^jgerate the effects both immediate and ultimate and great is thoir joy if they can find a rookie whom they can impress sufficiently with the gravity of the operation, but it is good natured ragging and is enjoyed. No one in the battalion is exempt fro = the needle, from Col. McFarland down everyone must take it, and when one of the officers is being inoculated advantage is taksn of the occasion by many of the men to otter hiiu advice, such as, "Hold your breath, it won't hurt half so much then." "It's all right when he don't run the needle straight in. " "He has a double dose tor you, he told me he had." "You are a big fellow, it will lake a billion for you," etc. F. G.
