Hopkins had a nasty acâ€" cident Saturday afternoon while on the way to Sturgeon Point in the Viking (II), in campany with his fa- ther, Mr. G. H. Hopkins, K.(3., and another gentleman. In making a slight adjustment to the gasoline en- gine he slipped in some manner and his right hand went into the com- mutator. The index finger was badly crushed and the nail taken complete- 1y off. A tourniquet stopped the bleeding- and after a‘, few minutes, work with the engine to repair the damage done to it, the party proceeded to Sturgeon Point, where modiCal attention was obtained. of the 45th are diligently necruiting to fill the ranks. They should have luyal support and eucanragement. We are glad that it is their intention to drill twice a week. It is a movement in the right direction. We are glad to know of the organization of a home guard. It is not known yet what the demands upon Canada will be, but we should be prepared to do our share in the quickest and most Oflicient manner to bring this disasâ€" trous war to the speediest possible termination. MEX HNSER ' Lord Kitchener’s statement that :he does not care whether the volun- 'teers know anything about drill, or gwhether they know their right foot .from their left, as long as they know how to shoot quickly, is the state- :ment of a man nho knows the game iof war from practical experience. The ‘ oer'War demodstrated to us the su- preme need of the Canadian soldier being able to shoot accurately and his should be the first requisite in our military training, not dress par- ades or company drill. We are at the present confronted by powerful cu- emies. We are one with Britain in this great war. The question is, how can we soonest prepare ourselves to meet this menace to our freedom and our nationality ? It can only be ‘ answ red by conscientious rifle prac- tice and drill on the part of every militia regiment inithe Dominion. We are glad to know that the officers ‘ His Worship Mayor Beal occupied the chair, and addresses of a strong- ly patriotic character were delivered by a number of prominent citizens. All were unanimous in declaring that a suitable place should be provided for rifle practice, and as a result of the discussion a rcsolntiou was in- troduced by Messrs. S. Alcorn and Jas. W. Anderson requesting the Government to provide a rifle range as soon as possible in order that the 45th Regiment and citizens generally may beecme more proficient in ' the use of the rifle. If the government is not in a position to provide the range, a request was embodied that the use of the gallery at the armor- ies be' granted. ' A splendid attendance of citizens, and more particularly the members of Lindsay's Home Guard, was pre- sent at the meeting called in’ the 'council chamber last night for the ,purpose of taking steps to urge" up- ?on the Dominion Government the urâ€" gent necessity of providing a rifle range in Lindsay, Where the memâ€" bers of the 45th and Home Gu'ard might become more proficient in the use of the rifle. As was pointed out in Friday’s issue, both Lord Kitchâ€" ener and Col. Hilghes, Minister of Militia, haVe strongly emphasized the impurtanCe of rifle practice. Un- fortunately, however, there has been some delay in providing the lucdl militia with :1 range, and at last night’s meeting: :1 resolution was unanimously paused urging the govâ€" ernment to take some action in the matter. 3AM BRUSHES} providing a rifle Where the memâ€" nnd Home Guard v ‘l(‘onstunce, close to the Swim tron-i ”HI" KWPP “”1 130111in is "Ht in ‘tim', we we”.
