SN Cp wl Ye ---- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDA ] D Company +" With authorization received for mobilization of the Midland Regiment an active Service Unit, recruiting of the 1st Battalion Midland Regi- ment, C.A.8.F. gets under way Aug. 1st, in the Counties of Northumber- land, Durham, Victoria and Halibur- ton, Announcement to this effect is made by Lieut-Col. A, H. Bounsall, E. D. Officer Commanding, Arrangements for recruiting in the four counties have been completed and enrolment of C.A.S.F. volunteers begins in five centres, Victoria and Haliburton Counties have been in- cluded in the recruiting area of the battalion for C:;:A.S.F. purposes and a second N.P,A.M. Battalion is also be- ing recruited, at the same time, in the counties of Northumberland and Dur- ham, Recruiting offices have been estab- lished at Cobourg, Campbellford, Port Hope, and Bowmanville and, to obviate delay in enlistments, Medical Boards will be regularly convened at Co- bourg, Campbellford, Bowmanville and Lindsay ery offices will be open dur- ing day and evening and a minimum of delay is foreseen in signing on C.A. S.F. volunteers. Applicants will 'be interviewed, examined and attested as rapidly as possible and first infantry battalion to be raised in these counties since the outbreak of war, and unit will, it is felt, quickly be recruited to strength. With mobilization of the Midland Regiment, the Counties of Durham, Northumberland, Victoria and Hali- burton are now for the first time given the opportunity for enlistment in a purely local C.A.S.F. battalion and, because of this, recruiting offices in the area are expected to be hard pressed to handle the number of ve- cruits who will present: themselves for enlistment. Doubt is felt that _ more than a fraction of the men who desire to enlist for Active service can be included in -the C.A.S.F. Unit, ------ ee OVERTAKEN BY TRAGEDY ON BOWLING GREEN (Stouffville Tribune) 1 On Wednesday afternoon last week while engaged in play at a Cannington J.awn _ Bowling tournament - at the "northern town, Albert E. Miller, of Uxbridge expired suddenly on the green, He was seen to slump to the ground, and passed away immediate- ly. Dr, Mellow, one of his partners in the game, was at hand when the tragedy overtook them. Mr. Miller had been bowling excellent ends, and had made a second kitty toucher for which he was being warmly congratu- lated 'a moment before. © In ill health for some years suffer- ing from a nervous bfeakdown, Mr. Miller was considered to be greatly improved lately, and enjoyed his favorite pastime on the green im- mensely. Only a week ago before his death he bowled at Stouffville in the annual men's tournament. At Can- nington he was accompanied by Dr. Mellow, Andrew McPhail, and Fred Willis. Born at Mount "Albert, Ab., as he --was called by his wide circle of "friends, spent his garly life there and conducted a boot and shoe business. He married Maggie Lemon, sister of Misses Mary and Jessie Lemon of Church street, Stouffville. The happy union was. shockingly short for Mrs. Miller died in two years, as did their infant child. After this Mr. Miller went to Uxbridge where he lived most ---- of 'his-life with his sister Mrs. J. F. Brownscombe, Later in life he mar- ried Mabel Button, daughter. of the late A. T. Button of that town, who predeceased him in 1925. A peculiar incident in 'connection with the manner of Mr. Miller's death is the fact that his office partner for many years, F. W. Thompson, also died suddenly on the bowling green * "in Uxbridge a few years ago. tl A APB 2 OIL CANS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS FOR FOOD . It has been brought to the attention of the Dominion Departmetn of Agri- culture that many people are making use of oil cans for the canning of foods. , The use of oil cans for food is con- sidered to be very dangerous practice. since they are made of Terne plate, a plating which is almdst wholly lead, and very small amounts of lead are poisonous, . Cans made expressly for food are entirely different and can be bought at a nominal price from hardware stores. and mail order houses. Years of research have gone into the manu- facture of cans for canning food, with the result that the inside: ng is 1éad free. This is done to make it impossible for foods to become con- taminated with lead, and no cans should, be uged fo fruits, vegetables, 'meats or fish ¥ than those made "food cans. J ~ Oil cans are not food oans "and "should not be used for any food pro- duets.
