The last week has been a busy one for the Reserve Army boys. The high lights were the visit of General Browne and Brigadier Logie Armstrong at local H. Q., and the trip to Fenelon Falls. Naturally there was training as usual on regular nights. The visit of the Director Gen- eral of the Reserve and the Offi- cer Commanding M. D. 3 was re- ported in last week's paper. We were very pleased to see so many prominent citizens of Bowman- ville and Orono out to meet our distinguished visitors. People are gradually beginning to realize that the Reserve Army is becom- ing more and more important in the Canadian scheme of defence. The Sunday trip was the big- gest day's training the local Unit has had this year. The boys were taken by Garton's bus to the nor- thern town and thoroughly en- joyed the trip. Songs, music, jokes and all the fun that a gang of good fellows can have made the trip seem all too short. The gang are still talking about the wonderful dinner served by the ladies of Fenelon Falls United Church. What a meal! What a feed! 'What pies! What a friendly reception! Taken all in all, it was a huge success and all will re- member those ladies and their kind attentions. Strange as it may seem, one of the high lights of the day was the sermon preached by Rev. F. W. Newell, formerly of Blackstock. It was a sermon that should be printed and sent around to people who do not understand National Socialism and the German peo- ple. He gave the German way of looking on it and what that means to us. National Socialism is a religion whose every idea is in direct op- position to Christianity and whose members are taught to regard anything Christian as weakness. Mr. Newell gave quotations from men who had escaped from Ger- many and quoted laws that forced people to keep off teaching any Christian doctrines to people un- der 21 years of age. People are taught that Hitler is their God and even the children are taught to thank him for their daily food. Fanatics are developed in a way that will be hard to handle in the post war world. On Thursday night the Signal platoon and a few others are going to Orono to give a demon- stration of signalling and also to show some of the other equip- ment used in the army. Sgt. Cliff Samis is going to give a lecture on the use of the various instru- ments for sending messages and C.S.M. Thomas is going to give a short talk on such equipment as the Bren Lewis, Reising and Anti Tank rifles along with the gas equipment, etc. Mr. J. J. Mellor has arranged this for the Scouts and as many of the public as wish to attend. It will be of interest to all. On Sunday, Aldread missed the bus but was not going to miss the day so started to thumb his way. He managed to travel to Whitby, north to Lindsay and arrived at the church at Fenelon Falls just as the boys were finishing dinner. The ladies certainly made sure that he was well fed. Some peo- ple are too lazy to walk to the main street, this boy lives near Burketon and manages to get here on drill nights as well. Recently we have had two Sgt.- Major Instructors here on Monday and Wednesday nights and they have been bringing equipment from H.Q. It has been a great help to our boys. Last six men to join the Com- pany came from Newcastle. What is the matter with Bowmanville? Next week another half dozen of our boys are joining the Active.

Mrs. R. Gilbert and group were in charge of the pro- gram. Bradley's Home and School Club met Friday night with Rev. J. A. Plant and Mr. Mervyn Hobbs, Enniskillen, as guest speakers. In addition, Jerry Mill- son gave an interesting account of experiences with the Junior Far- mers' Judging Team, and was presented With a gift from the Club as a reward for his success- ful efforts. Betty Smales and Ewart Leask delivered pleasing musical numbers. Mr. W. R. Strike, Bowmanville, evoked some deep thinking from all those privileged to hear his convincing address on "Citizen- ship" at the Home and School Club, Friday evening. Defining democracy as "the application of principles and belief in the in- erent. importance of the indivi- dual," Mr. Strike stressed the fact that we must develop individuals and hence a democracy so strong that it would not be necessary for young men and girls to die for its security. Further, he said, "if our present so-called demo- cracy were really worth saving it would save itself." Serious study of history, he pointed out, proves that wars have been caus- ed by the unequal distribution of raw materials and if there is not a firm Christian basis whereby all countries, large and small, will be permitted to develop their own natural resources and education as set forth in the Atlantic Char- ter then there is the fear that again we may .win the war but lose the peace. Mr. John Cruick- shanks, seconded by Mrs. S. E. Werry, expressed the gratitude of all present to Mr. Strike. Mrs. F. Gilbert gave a humorous nono- logue and Mr. Chas. Shortridge read a poem from Henry Drum- mond. Musical numbers included a vocal solo "Dry Those Tears" by Mrs. John Baker and an action song by the 1st Grade scholars. Mrs. Roy Langmaid presided. Sympathy is extended to Mr. Frank Orchard and daughters on the death of Mrs. Orchard. Visitors: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Crome, Oshawa, with Mrs. C. Blanchard. . . Mrs. L. R.

Band of 1st Midland (Continued from page 1) with the Torch to Moncton, Fred- ericton, St. Andrews and Grand Manor Island. In September, another move, this time to Niagara-on-the-Lake, where they stayed until March, 1942. The band then started its Westward trek, arriving in Ed- monton, on March 17th. During their stay in Edmonton, the band was very active, and gave some fine concerts and broadcasts, in addition to the occasional 16 mile route march as stretcher bearers. Finally the unit was moved to Prince Rupert, B.C., and as we go to press, they are still carrying on there. Their activities in Prince Rupert include three con- certs weekly, and a broadcast every week. They have a fine dance orchestra, and play for dances regularly. The present instrumentation is 1 piccolo, 5 clarinets, 5 cornets, 3 altos, 3 trombones, 2 baritones, 3 basses and 2 drums. Sergt. Mills would like 4 more clarinets, a bass trombone, and a BBb bass player. A recent program included such numbers as "Zampa" overture, "Maid of the' Mountains" and "Aida" selections, and cornet solos by Corp. A. C. Heffernan (of Lindsay, Ont.). The Commanding Officer of the Regiment Lt. Col. J. G. Gamey, M.M.E.D., is very proud of his band, and loses no opportunity to have them put on a show. Sergt. Mills in a recent letter, tells us that the Y.M.C.A. hut at their station seats 400, but when the band plays there, some- how, 500 manage to get inside to enjoy it. What is the reason for the band's popularity? Practice. Prac- tice as a band, and individual practice. This, coupled with lead- ership of the type Sergt. Mills is able to supply, is the answer to the marked success of this fine Active Service Band. Finally, a word or two about the dynamic leader of the Band of the 1st Mid- land Regiment. Born in England, Sergt. Mills served his "appren- ticeship" in the Band of the Royal Marines. His peace-time band in Perth, Ont., is a very excellent musical organization, and has done, under his able direction, Eyes Tested - Glasses Fitted SATISFACTION IN QUALITY AND PRICE GUARANTEED CUTEX TOILET SETS 1.00-2.00-3.00-4.00 Chests of STATIONERY 1.50-2.00-2.50 CASHMERE BOUQUET SETS --_ 29e to 2.2059ç.

This illustration, released by The Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario, graphically portrays the importance of volun- tary conservation of electricity on the part of domestic consumers. Factories are working 24 hours a day, ceaselessly turning out munitions and equipment to back up our men in the firing line, and ample electric power must be available, at all times, for this vital production job. If industrial electrical equipment is operated two or three times as many hours per day as under peacetime conditions, it will consume two or three times the number of kilowatt-hours of energy. To supply this additional energy the turbines in the generating station will require larger quantities of water every day. What is known as the peak demand for power usually occurs late on dark winter afternoons when the Iighting load comes on be- fore certain factories shut down for the day. In some cities, the daily peak demand occurs just before noon when housewives are preparing the midday meal on their electric ranges. Even if a hydro-electric generating station is equipped to supply the horse- power required to meet tis peak demand, there still may not be enough water available to keep the turbo-generators running near top capacity for many extra hours per day. Thus under war conditions the saving of energy by economical and careful management in the home is an essential and valuable contribution to the war effort.
