POS ss SOEST, West Germany -- This week we want to tell you about a Canadian Army man and his wife and family and how they live in this area of Western Germany so many miles from home and in a strange country, with strange people and language. _ Through the good officesof the acting commanding officer, Major William Mulhern, 1st Battalion, Canadian Guards, we met Corpor- al J. G. Hamilton of Ottawa, and we visited his wife Maureen and their four children in the spick and span apartment at the Permanent Married Quarters (the PMQ Com- munity, as it is known). The Hamiltons have a three-bed- room apartment in the six apart- ment flat, with kitchen, bathroom, diningroom and livingroom. A bal- cony from the second-storey apart- ment looks over the play area About which this group of "apart- ments is built. The Army provides all the es- sentials, including electric range and refrigerator -- and the only things the families have to bring aver -are sheets and pillowcases, knicknacks and radios.,Their rent, paid through the special allowance, equals about $83 a month, includ- ing heat and services. Mrs. Hamilton said she is happy with the accommodation, she finds the furniture serviceable and stur- dy, and, even though a transform- er has to be used for Canadian electrical appliances, the Army ap- pliances are all built for German voltage. The Hamiltons are a typical fam- ily, we discovered, living in the PMQ's. They have four children, Stephen, 6; Kathleen (a real ball of fire) 3; Peter, 2, and John; four months. Stephen attends the elementary school at the 'overflow" school at Fort Chambly, going on the school bus. They attend church at Fort York, where Roman Catholic and Protestant Chapels look after the spiritual needs of the soldiers and their families. Each of the 'forts'? has its chapéls. Mrs. Hamilton shops at the MLS store, just around the corner in the PMQ area, where she can buy Canadian-type foods at prices com- parable to those back home. "For six marks (about $1.40) we can fill the trunk of our car with vegetables at the Soest market', Mrs. Hamilton said. Do they have enough entertain- ment and social life? The big prob- Conservation In an effort to preserve the Canvasback and Redhead duck population, the 1960 regulations allow for only one bird of each species to be taken daily. However, it is also urged that true sportsmen, interest- ed in conservation, will refrain 'altogether from shooting these two species. If Canvasbacks or Redheads are shot, hunters are asked to remove the right wing at the 'root, and send it to the "'Can- 'vasback-Redhead Project; Del- Canada's Armed Forces AND 15 YEARS AGO Editor, THE UNITED KINGDOM ta Waterfowl Research Station; Delta, Manitoba." f TODAY -- -- J. A. MORRIS Prescott- Journal writes from EUROPE AND lem, said the Hamiltons, is to find enough nights in the week. Mrs. Hamilton is: a Bingo fan, and. at- tends the Bingos run by the Com- munity: Council and the Red Patch Club. They go to movies at the forts, there..is entertainment . in the Army messes and a dance once a month. Also, they can attend the British Army shows at Lepp- stadt and. Iserlohn. Periodically, throughout the summer, regiment- al bands give concerts in the three community areas: Like the hundreds of other Can- adian families in the Brigade area, the Hamiltons are enjoying their experience. They haven't been able to travel as much as other famil- ies, as they have four small child- ren, but they have been to Holland since coming over last Fall, and they have plans to use future leave periods in seeing more of Europe from their Volkswagen. They'll be happy, no doubt, to return home at the end of three years to see their families and friends, but in the meantime they are making' the' most of their op- portunity. Next week we'll tell you about a family unable to obtain quarters in the PMQ, and who are living in accommodation rented' froma German family.
