a hard fact of military history that victory by arms depends on occupancy of the Iand..-and we cannot see that function perform-

army." The militia is seen by the editor as a yltal element in such an army, "because the militia is the one urganizaiuu that could enable the nation to be as mili- tarily competent and prepared as is practically possible. and at the same time industrially and techn'cally unfettered and un- bandi tapped by the loss of tech- nicians and artisans."

The publication states that the year's work accomplished by the regiment was most successful. More courses were given to more personnel than ever before in its history.

THE OLD GUARD

In its editorial columns this edition pays tribute to one of the "Old Guard". who took part in the annual inspection of the unit, Lt. Col. p.A. Macxinnon, D.S.O. In his remarks on this occasion the Colonel asserted that he had trained on the same floor 57 years ago. and never regretted a day of his long association with both the active and reserve forces.

During the year the Regiment acquired 76 additional recruits and the services of two new padres--Rev. (iii. Christie. and Rev, P. Phelan.

in its closing pages the publi- cation paid tribute to the only signaller to win the VC- - Lt Col. CRG. Basseit, V.C.. E.D., who won his honor on the battle field at Gailipoli during the first Great War, when he was a cor- poral linesman.

In such places as Rustlco. Sourls. Gaspereaux. Murray Har- bour. the fish plants provide spring. summer and to a certain extent. autumn work, but after the fishing ends the workers are faced with compulsory ”' .
