Timely Precaution: Be Prepared For Any Eventuality Recent events have brought a dir- ect threat to our homes, our dar ones, our property and our persons. These facts cannot be longer denied. There is no telling where the enemy will strike next or how. Our land, long thought safe, has been shelled by the enemy. The leader* of pur country, foreseeing such possibilities, have planned to discourage, and be ready to resist to the utmost, any threat or attempt of subversion here. Their plan is to have every able-bodied man prepared to resist. Resistance to be effective, must be comnlete. i This can only be made possible by ! X efficiency and knowledge. Know- ledge can only be obtained by study and efficiency by the application of that knowledge. The Reserve Army or Defence Force is the plan of our leaders the answer to any threat or possibility. An efficient defence force can, if ready, repel any enemy likelv to in- vade us. In case of an invasion every man will be needed to turn the enemy back, and the defence of our country is the first duty of all. En- listment in the Reserve Army is the duty of every able bodied man, to prepare himself for the execution of hi* role as a defender of his rights. It is a way in which the man who cannot join the active force, the man who is needed to carry on the normal functions of the country, can prepare himself for the possibility of inva- ion and still perform his normal duties. Prewiring ourselves for this means sacrifice, yes, but sacri^e of what? Some of our leisure, some of our pastimes, our pleasures, the sacrifice of a little of our earnings. What are these compared to what we would sacrifice should the enemy overwhelm us? These sacrifices are compensated by the knowledge that you are doine all von can, bv the. confidence which only knowledge can give, but the pleasure whi^h assoc- iation with others civp. and other pleasantries which are many. This local Reserve Unit needs men. This is your army, it need your sup- port. Bv carrying on in the past it provided the foundation in the way of instructors for that army which go far, has deterred the enemy. Its ranks have been depleted bv enlist- ments. It now neede every available man to be (prepared for its next possible job. The Reserve Army i the place where the ex-service man caa use to advantage his experience; where the business man can see whv traininer is necessary and costly; where th farmer and fanner's son, whose work in all-imnortant, can nerve doubly; where the professional rrwvn can apply hto store of know- ledge; where the youth can find re- creaticn, entertainment and an outlet fr hii energy; where the low cate- gory mn cam satisf" th* desire; where all can Icam to he prepared. The need is suoh that employers should give thought to arranging their working hours so that their employees can attend drilf. They should encourage enlistment and at- tendance. The time is at hand for everyone to put their shoulder to the wheel. Ascertain on what night- your local unit trains. Dron in and ask for particulars, then enlist.
