The next step f0 acquire a rifle for the control officer will be to- follow the simple registration procedure for rifles and permits. ceses, The final night of thé Courtice Secondary School's Drama Club production of "Marne on Friday, played to a capacity audience in the Bowrnanville High Sehool auditorium.
