Once again its Queens York in meaninatioss is we a deal to report upon, Our m'n'ffi- 5'&5\6 has proven very successâ€" ful when compared with figures of last few: months. lxnuz:uu b:tl uj:l!n .fin&; 2: ptember ~ ment and in Octadr 16 additional recruits were signed up. Afl'::' we wish to remind the mem of our unit, $1.00 per recruit will be allotted to each member ntu%b nights of parade as of October 17, 1948.

The three Wings, Gunnery, D and M and Wireless are now running full blast. Each is Yrepared to give two courses, namely, an advanced as well as a basic course. Our idea is to prepare the men for next summer‘s camp at Petawawa wher everyone who possibly can is #zed to put in an appearance for a good time as well as exeellent training. ‘Thanks to the Wireless Wing we should have inter office communiâ€" cation very shortly thus facilitating trainin%‘administration and making a much more interesting and instructive course possible for our men. The Meaford Shoot Gunshy II was a great success. Everyone had a chance to fire the 75‘s and everyâ€" one had a chance to also fire the Brownings. There were also some who fired Sten and Bren on the Small Arms Range. The whole shoot was wired and controlled from the control tower by the Wireless Wing while the Gunnery Wing took over the shooting and the D and M Wing, the transportaâ€" tion to and from the ranges, There were movies shown Saturday Night due to the thoughtfulness of our Colonel J. W. Singleton and this was followed by a wiener roast. Even though our cook did not turn up some of the boys headed by one volunteer, named Monck, put up the best rookie meal the boys have yet eaten. All in all the do was a comâ€" plete success for the men, for the officers and for the regiment. New activities planned are %uiu extensive,.
