In medieval England training with bow and pike was mandatory, and. every able bodied youth be- came a potential support for the small standing army, and could leave his daily chores ito help fight off those who sought to make slaves of the inhabitants of the tight little island. The modern day concept of this form of training is no farther nuclear, biological and chemical warfare skills, but a greater por- tion of program includes teaching that has everyday use. Map usage is useful to those who hunt and fish in our northern play- ground, rescue training is import- ant where mining and lumbering are chief industries, traffic and crowd control could be valuable in case of a disaster, such as a forest fire, and the hygiene sessions teach the value of clean personal habits as well as safe health practices in farms, bush camps and mining construction camps. On a visit to the Armories last away than Haileybury, where the! week, the Speaker watched a dem- famous Algonquin Regiment still{onstration of rescue work by a operates, the district, and giving them train-! recruiting the youth of|well-drilled team from the regi- ment.

Lieut. John Seymour is the O.C. of C. Squadron, working out of the Haileybury Armories, and _ last week he explained something of the aims and objects in the week- ly training sessions held there last week. "The training sessions have a wide pattern,' he said, "some are definitely army training, but others are important in the civil- ian life of every person." Under the heading of army train- ing comes the usual drill sessions, Home Decorations Haileybury residents are again being asked to decorate their homes for the Christmas season and participate in a con- test arranged by the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Fire Department, Chamber of Commerce and Town Council. The decorations will be jud- ged on originality, and appeal, and those who plan to partici- pate are asked to plan ahead and get the work done in suf- ficient time to have the display on by December 15, when the judging will start. Last year's display was so good that the sponsors are anx- ious that they be up for a long- er time before Christmas holi- days start so that all in the district will have a chance to enjoy them. portation over rough terrain was included in the display. These and may other rescue devices were shown during the evening. On the rescue team were Ssgt.-L. Simard, L/Cpl. R. Grignon, Trps. C. Fleming, G. Othmer, M. F. Byrne, J. W. Cooper and J. Mik- kola. Lieut. Seymour said there were openings for any young men inter- ested in joining the regiment, and while there is 'a definite need for NCO types, boys from _ sixteen years will be accepted if they have their parents consent. For the ordinary person joining the regiment there are such values as association with a friendly and keen group of young men, a half- day pay for each parade, and for the more ambitious a free univer- sity education and a worthwhile career as an army officer. Places-in the regiment are not reserved for Haileybury residents, but are open to anyone in the dis- trict who is interested. Transporta- tion is provided for those who do not live in the district town. Persons interested in joining the regiment should call at the Armor- ies on parade nights which fall on Monday and Thursday each week.

The Sisters of St. Margaret, Montreal; The Sisters of the Church, Toronto; and the Mission Sisters, St. John, New Brunswick. The Order's Foundress, Mother Hannah, a widow when she took her Vows at St. Mary's Convent, Peekskill, N. Y. on September 8th, 1884, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, was a woman of strong character with the un- common ability. to surround her- self with persons of equal intellect and strength. After the Mother Foundress's_ Profession to Life Vows in 1884, she and a Novice re- turned to Toronto to begin their new life and work. In 1885 the Sisters nursed wound- ed troops in the second Riel rebel- lion in the North West, and re- cognition of their fine service stood them in good stead for their next pioneer venture: operation - of the first Women's Surgical Hos- pital in Toronto. In 1937 the Sisters . transferred their medical work to the present St. John's Hospital, Newtonbrook, Ontario, and chang- ed from surgical to convalescent treatment. Fhe Sisters are also engaged in operating an Altar Bread Department, the teaching profession, caring for elderly peo- » ple, mission work, Church embroi- dery and welfare work.
