THE SOUTH SHORE ROAD

Sir:- There are two groups of people who are complaining, and rightly so. about the condition of the Shore Road, the main highway between Wood Islands ferry and Murray River or directly through to Murray Harbor.

The first group is made up of the farmers who own the land. who cultivate it and see it. covered with tons of line. rod. powdered slit stirred up by the dozens of cars on their way to and from the

By Patrick 1 There is something rotten in the lstate of our Reserve Army. if I may mlsspply a phrase of Shakes- peare: and all parties in the House of Commons seem agreed that we should. as Shakespeare also wrote. mutter impatiently ”0. reform it altogether". However. British Co- lumbia may have offered the best solution.

Opposition spokesmen gave s rough ride to Hon. Brooke Clax- ton when he introduced the es- timates of his Defence Depart.- ment. Mr. Drew charged that the (Reserve Army was at its lowest ebb in 50 years Mr. Harkness of Cal- gary. another of the Conservative .Colonels. said that in Canada's 'so-called biggest peacetime man- oeuvres. four regiments were only able to muster 100 officers and

desirable re-organization of the Re- serve Army. His points included hanging its name to the Ml tia; encouraging bands in' dress ni- forms and blowing new instru- ments; and deducting income tax at source from Reserve Army-cab cuse me. from Militia.-pay. The only point not covered was how the Militia can be raised to the essential minimum size from the dangerous and uncreditable rum to which it. has shrivelled. I 0 0 O The trouble appears to be that the Rrserve Army. short of bands. short of guns 'and above all, short of ideas. has taken the fun out of soldlerlng. - The answer has been found by aigroup of enthusiastic individual- lsts on Vancouver Island. who haw- shown that week-end soldiering can be fun.
