The brigade's fighting capacity proved itself last year in "battle royal," NATO atomic exercise in which the Canadians did them- selves proud.

EARLY MURDER

FAR FROM HOME

"The broad picture is pretty good." says Salvation Army Major Charles wait of Vancouver. who with his wife presides at the Soest Sally Ann and readily lends a kindly ear to troubled troops.

"Some of these boys are very young and a long way from home. Some get in over their heads. But soldiers will be soldiers whatever nationality they are."

There is plenty to do in bar- racks at the camps spread over -15 miles. roughly clustered around Soest. War! and lserlohn.

There is a heavy sports agenda and fine equipment. There are two rinks. four four-alley bowling pre- mises. four big movie houses and officers' and other-raiiks clubs.

Local authorities hit hard and early at the camp follower prob- lem, and it is a minor one, al- though further afield is another question. Brigade authorities eagle- eye marriage applications-there are about 100 on tap at the mo- ment-to see that the boy from back home gets a good wife if he's so minded. A b have.
