Reason for spreading the training centres beâ€" tiween Toronto, Sudbury, Haildvbury and the Lakehead, he said was to make this antiâ€"~fifth column guard available for duty in any section of the province where the need might arise. "In case of emergency," explained the attorneyâ€"general, "we con call on them even while they are in training. Otherâ€" wise, if they were all trained at Toronâ€" to, it would take about 24 hours to get them up to Fort William and Port Arthur and about 12 hcurs to Sudbury. Toronto., June reserves of Ontario Provincial Police, armed with subâ€"machine guns and trained in clal tactics to deal wth Fifth Column elements, are to be established immeâ€" diately at Haileybury, Sudbury, the Lakehead and Toronto. Special Training While disclosing that 80 men have already ‘been signed up, Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral Gordon Conant in making the anâ€" nouncement declined to reveal, in the interests of public safety, the total number of men to be recruited. The statement that these special police reserves would be armed with subâ€"machine guns and specially trained to deal with possible saboteurs and smoke out fifth columnists, was made last night by Premier Mitchel FP. Hepâ€" burn at St. Thomas. Nonâ€"Military Age The new recruits are to be of nonâ€" militory age, as it is not the purpose of the Ontario government to invade the military age class. They must conâ€" focrm to Class B. army qualifications and measure up to police height standâ€" ards. Specially trained antiâ€"fifth column guards will be trained on an optional basis for one month, said the attorneyâ€" general, and at the end of that time their distribution will be decided upon. All vacancies in the ranks of the reâ€" gular provincial force, said the attorâ€" neyâ€"general, are being filled from the reserves, with new recruits going only into the motorcycle division where young men are required. Provincial police strength was greatly increased this week by the taking over of guard duty in the Niagara Peninâ€" sula by members of the Canadian Acâ€" tive Service Force, displacing a large body of war veterans who had been serving as special provincial officers.
