{Island Gunner With crew as Guns tested

Borden S e r v es Big Guns In Test Firing.

(By Ross Munro. Canadian Press War Correspondent)

SOMEWHERE ON THE ENG- LISH CHANNEL COAST, Feb. i8 ._.(CP)-D*ay after- day, guns of the Royal Canadian Artillery have cannonaded the wintry channel with shells as every artillery piece in the overseas army was cali- brated irl a tune-up for the spring.

A battery at a. time came to locations in the coastal area to fire a half-dozen rounds from each gun and test and correct sights and range mechanism. Every regiment. from those firing huge gun-how- ltzers to those using the little two- pounder anti-tank guns, had a chance to open up with live shells.

One of the most spectacular shoots was by a battery command- eii by Ma]. Fred Clifford of Hamil- ton and Kingston, Ont., in the 5th Medium Regiment. Fifteen tons of artillery equipment rolled over muddy fields six miles from the coast as each of the massive gun-howitzers was pulled into place by enormous “matador" trucks. carrying ammunition and the 10-

in mud, gunners stripped their guns for action. heaved shells into the breach and with a giant sheet oi flame, bil- lows of smoke and ear-splitting re- ports they blasted away at the channel they couldn't even see.

This was the first time some of the new “gun-liows," most power- fili weapon in Canadian corps, had been fired and the first shots were set off by pulling a. l50-foot lan- yard. The new artillery worked like a charm.

Lieutenants with the battery in- cluded Charlie Tapley oi saint John. N_ 13.. and Jerry Clarke oi Woodstock, N. B.

By use of cameras, apparatus to spot the gun flashes, observation of where the shells land in the son and other methods, the results of the firing were plotted and from these calculations the sights were adjusted until they were as perfect as possible.

Gnr. Eddie Sampson of Fort helices, Ont... fired the first round of the “glln-hows" as the fire or- der passed down from command post. to Licllt. Clarke to Sgt. B. J. (Slim) Maser of Toronto. working the gun.

OITAWA. Ieb. lO-(OH-lbur large individual subscriplilflm amounting to more than . 090i were contained in tonight's official. progress statement from Nations. Victory Loan headauarters as com- mittee members awaited regional reports on thehuccess of tndays bond sales during the day.

This was the third day of the three-week campaign for $600,000, but_ officials said details from the various provincial divisions will not be available until tomorrow mom-

ing.

The total up to last night vul $85,436,000. The large subscriptions made public tonight would be enough to raise that figure over the $l00,000.000 mark, even without taking into account the numerous small subscriptions received during the day.

However. loan officials said they could not be sure that the large items had not been included pre- viously in the grand total.

Largest Subscription

Largest subscription announced tonight was the order for $15,000.- 000 worth of bonds received from Mutual Life Assurance Co. of Can- ada. The application was signed at the company's head office in Wat- erloo. Ont.

Loan headquarters said another accent on the “gathering momentum of the campaign" was the purchas- ing of $2,531,000 worth of Victory bonds by the Canadian National Railway Co. announcement of wlhch came from Montreal.

gion.

Total sales on Tuesday were giv- en ln this rnornulgs progress report as $34,102,000 coniparcdwvltll $51,- 334,000 on Monday, opening day.

Earlier in the day, too, na- tional officials reported a sub- scription from Canada's Unem- pluimeili. Insurance Commission of $10,000,000. This investment was made possible by the julni. contributions of more than 2.- 000.000 (Jmzidiail workers and their 150,000 employers, supple- mented by the Dominion Gov- ernment's payment of one-filth of the total employer-employee
