He hia, in charge of the recruiting for the Second Divisional Area, who was in Kingston this week, and who ad. dressed the meeting of the Women's Emergency Corps. While here Ma- lor Willfams had some Interesting Stories to tell. ; i Major Williams has had the honor every man good- of bidding nearly bye who has gone overseas to do his "DIL" and one can readily, under Stand the many scenes he has witness Ne has tose beside the big 8 ips and bade speed to the thousands of Canadians bo > readily given up all that is dear to them in order to take their part in the fight for righteousness. 3 "It 1s wonderful how some of the mothers are bearing up during this awful strain," said or Williams, récruiting. "I remember on one occasion a woman stood all alone on the wharf watching a. vessel leave, She was theré to say good-bye to the last of three boys to go overseas. The wlman told Major Williams her story. "I want to keep up under this heavy strain," said the mother, but it is' hard. - The last of my three boys is on that boat going to do his share. . The other two are now at the fromt. It is hard, but TI do not As the boat pulls out I want him to see a smile on my face." As the big steamer pulled out on her voyage, Major Williams noticed the smile come over the proud wom- an's face, and also saw her wave her hand to the lad in khaki on the deck. But as soon as the vessel had pass- *{ ed out of sight, the mother collapsed. DERS {1 "Have You Tried GIPSUM WALL PLASTER?

She fell in a fainting spell' on the wharf, and kind friends had to as- sist her. This little story just goes to show | how. some mothers are doing their i share." And no doubts scores of sim- ilar stories could .be told about the way women are playing their part. "On another. occasion I was eom- ing from the Niagara camp," sald Major Willams, "when I ran across a woman at the station. She knew me and started a conversation." "I have just seen my son off on this train," sald thé woman, "he is the only boy I have, and I am all alone In the world. It is hard but 1 would not put a stone in his way when he said that he would like to £0 to the front. I think it Is the duty of every young man who is able to go overseas and-do his share. "And now I am alone in the world' added the woman. "I am going back home to walk the floor every night because I know I will not be able to 'sleep as I will be so lonesome. I will [| pray night and day for the safe re- i turh of my boy." Major Williams states that it is dl- | 50 wondertil the part some of the yo women are taking in the war, and the elgerneéss they are showing i to do greater things. { I met one young girl who would A AAA Quick Eyeglass br diem | It is éertainly a relief to know that you cah get repairs here quickly, without 'serious incom- Yeénience or loss of time.
