Frederick Arthur Bailey Blackstock lost one of its most highly respected citizens on July 22, with the sudden passing of Frederick | Arthur Bailey, at his summer home in Caesarea, after a week's illness. He was born 78 years ago on July 7, 1865, on a farm in Egypt, just west of Blackstock, a son of the late James and Harriet Bailey. January 1, 1895, he married Mary Maude McLaughlin, All his life was lived around and in Blackstock, and for @& years did threshing ---and- -earpentering in Cart- wright Township. Deceased was a faithful member of St. John's Anglica Church, where for many years he fulfilled creditably the double office of Church Warden and Treasurer. He was quiet, kindly and obliging."

The inter- ment was at St. John's Cemetery. Arriving for Basic Training A three hooker, sergeant to you, paces the station platform in the best manual of elementary drill style, and watches as the train filled to the last 'coach spews forth its cargo of raw recruits, rie This is the first glimpse of the new life to begin, that the rookie gets, upon detraining at a basic training centre. Milling around the platform straightening packs and straps with a wary eye upon -the sergeant, the rookie tries to make up his mind whether he is going to like army life, al) the while keeping up a continuons stecam of talk on the turn the Euro- pean situation will take, now that he is in the Army, Out of the seemingly chaotic noise and confusion the stentorian voice of the sergeant knifes through, "Line up in three ranks. . . Come on, on the double." As if by magle the nofses cease and three ranks are formed up the full length of the platform. Anxious eyes search the face of the man next to him wondgring what the next move will be. Inasmuch as the] man next to him has a peculiar blank "expression om his face, the rookie then turns to the man on his left where he once again encounters no sign of what may be ensuing, Resignedly the rookie, formerly an office worker, a factory worker or perhaps a professional man, assumes the same expression and waits, He is rudely awakened from his blank reverie by the bagpipes in the process of being tuned up. - Together with the hustle and bustle takes place with n.c.o's flying all over the place taking up position in front and be- hind the latest batch of recruits, The officer in charge of the party of men gives the command to' quick march and the recruits enter on the final , stage which leads them into the basic ' training centre. 'By the time the camp is reached the rookie has had his first taste of what it is like to march in full kit. To shoulders that up to now have felt no weight except that caused by carrying a suitcase to the station for the 'annual summer holiday "it is no mean feat to negotiate the two miles from the station to the camp. This in contrast to the same man who thinks nothing. of negotiating ten or twelve miles after a few weeks of conditioning, ] Upon being assembled in the camp each man is assigned<to a platoon where for the next two 'months he will work and train under the tutelage of experienced instructors, He meets his platoon sergeant, . usually a tough looking gentleman but whose heart is in the right place. A man, he can always depend on to give the best that ig in him, plus a little more, Then the corporals who occupy the same hut and who are perhaps the hardest working men in any basic training. centre are the next in line for surveillance. [It is indeed rare that the rookie does not immediately "take" to his n. c. o's. Later on in bis training, he will find shat he will' be. justified in thinking very highly of them. They become his father confessors, his best friends and patient instructors. H 3 ODE The farewell service of the Foot Church will be held next Sunday at 11,30 a,m, The Foot and Centre con- gregations are amalgamating and will}- meet in the new church, The Foot church will be torn down and the ma- terial used in thé next church to he erected at the Centre.

Any seed harvested which will be sur- plus to-tté farmer's own requirements should be sold through the usual coms mercial channels and the. prices should assure a fair return. At present such .seeds are retailing at the retail ceiling prices, said Mr, Young. In helping to overcome the shortage of protein. feeds this year alfalfa, red clover and alsike which are high in protein especially if cut early, should be more than-ever relied upon. While those engaged in dairying will reed to conserve as much of the:forage crops as possible, the Seeds Administrator believes they may find they may be able to meet their feed requirements and still save a part of the crop for seed. If they can do this they will help out the seed rehuirements of those countries of the Allied Nations which expect to be in short supply. iE . at a fas -- Beicoriolt Are oe) Fasten, Torus vi hn od " The World's News Seen Through ; THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR An International Dail ot d Daly Newspaper = = Bbiated Pets Srom Jun Daily Wesky Viagasis Soin, Session, Mate One, Norway Street, Boston, Pile $12.00 Yi ncluding Nata .
