your militia of course you know there is a nonpermanent active mihtia in canada you hkely see the occasional parade or read of the training camp at niagara you may have noticed pictures of the annual church parade in your paper but do you know anything of the work these boys are doing have you ever heard of countless evenings spent in training and in study your mihtia is efficiently trained in spite of the shortage of modern equipment this canadian volunteer army has saved the tax- paper hundreds of thousands of dollars simply by time and effort freely given it is true that some pay is received for camp training but this pay never makes up for the wages sacrificed to attend camp these boys are doing their part now then we ask you to do your part support your militia actively be interested encourage the young men whether your sons or your employees to join some mihtia unit let them share in the traditions and the work of the canadian mihtia it will do them good physically and morally to employers we suggest the enthusiastic encouragement of your younger employees to join a militia unit and arrangement of work so that these men will be able to attend camp freely and with your goodwill we believe this is every employers duty and we believe it will be well repaid in loyalty and respect from employees and from the public lssutii thnmgh the ctvoperation of this paper by
