Even seasoned Army veterans are unused It the very encouraging in- crease in recruiting noted by all unite here. New men are literally pouring in to offer their services in F o' 's peacetime army.

The Reece Regiment reports that between 5 and 10 are being taken on at.rengt.h-every parade with others enlisting almost daily. It is the same story with other real- ments. and commanding officers are happyabout the whole thing. Most of the units have openlnizs for all classifications and a new recruit should have little difficulty in find- ing a niche for himself.

The army life is an interesting one. full of lifetime experiences and capable of providing lifetime friend- ships. in addition to the excellent pay now received the boys have the satisfaction of knowing that they are serving their homeland and helping make it stron:.zer.

A young man entering here has a wide choice of positirns to fill. It is particularly iinticeable of late that promotions are rapid for any- one doing a good job and many of the boys have told this column of their pleasure in servlnt.

Perhaps one or the more out- .1tancll.ng examples of both service and promotion is Corporal Malcolm Campbell. Until Monday Mac was a private wlm just wanted to help in the Reserve forces. Each training night he travels all the way from Graham's Road. over 20 miles from the city. to take his place in the 21st Field Ambulance-the Medics. as they are morn popularly known.

Still in his teens. Mac has pro- gressed fast to earn l.-he respect of his fellimv soldiers and his R. S. M. Monday he was given two ihcoks' and Private Campbell became Cor- poral Campbell, He was also nioved up to Orderly Room duties. A kccn youngster, Mar should go far in the Army.

Also serving in the Orderly Ronni of the Field AIT1l)illRllt'P is a notch- hor of Cpl. Campbell. He is Pie. J. E. Murray who also travels more than 20 miles tlll'ougiil all klrizis of weather to attend parades. Men like them are a credit to their unit. their province and their ccuniry.

Several oflcors went. home East week with their Sunday dinner under their arms. A rliit-ken rui- fle was held in the Officers Mcsrz on Thursday niaht and competit or. was more than keen as everybody taking part went all out to get. one of the top grade birds.

G855 had their charges hard at work at the time and Col Rogers was pleased with what was being done and what had already been accomplished, Next Sunday he will hold his first regi- mental inspection as an indication of the stepped up training now in vogue. Since all training of the unit is now being done on a regimental last: the boys are more keenly iii- terested in the work of the drili square.

Altliough it is a late item con- gratulations are still in order for those who were lucky enough to win Christmas dinners on that December pay night.

The lucky winers left a large num- ber of watering mouths behind when they went out with the geese.
