Miss Ruth Mustard, with her lovely rendition at the piano of "Romance", brought spontaneous applause from the audience.

A group of Czechoâ€"Slovakian numâ€", bers by the trio Misses Helen and Annic Buvola, and "Irgio‘ Gallino, who with their string instruments, presentcd some very delightful numbers. Despatched to camps set up to hanâ€" dle the inflow of enemy prisoners from Great Britain, they found in many cases only elementary accomeoâ€" dation ready to receive them. Distriâ€" bution of furnishings and comforts was not yet perfected. Many of the Veterans, who only a few days before had left their comfortable hearts to reâ€"enter the service, found themselvs fighting in their first battle, cold ana discomfort. Some of the men, coming on early morning duty, battled frozen pipes and balky cookstoves. They began to think that Robert Service‘s immorâ€" tal Sam McGee had been a sissy. Through it all the Vets carried on their duties unflinchingly and often with a smile. "We‘re old soldiers, we can take it,." they said. Veteran Guards of Canada Doing Great Work Efficiently As there have been three or four hundred from this district joining the Veterans Guard of Canada the followâ€" ing special despatch from Ottawa should be of particular interest here:â€" Ottawa, Ont. â€" Don‘t be mislead by the title, "Veterans Guard of Canada." If it conjures up visions in your mind of men mounting weary monotonous guard over our coasts, prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war, and vital defence installations; if you envision â€" thousands of men keeping ceaseless watch, you‘ll be right but oniv partly so. For the job the Veterans Guard of Canada is doing today calls for resourcefulness and ingenuity, for the type of physical endurance anc training that only seasoned troops can provide. First organized on May 24, 1940, the Veterans Guard was immediately presâ€" sed into service. Many Canadians misunderstand and underestimate the role the Veterans Guard is playing in this war. When we think of them, we think of jobs for old men. That is a mistake. These veterans are not old. Their spirit toâ€" wards their duty as citizens and solâ€" diers could well be the envy of? the vounger genernation in this war. See WHERE THE PIPES OF SCOTLAND PLAYED Ulster Tribute to the Heroes of El Alamein (By John MacNeill, LMS. Station, Baliycarry, Northern Ireland> Then loud and shrill comes a rousing sound Beloved by the Scottish ear; And sweeping across eacn dune and mound Comes the skirl of the pibroch clear; "Tis a silent night and the moon rides high O‘er the waste of Egyptian sand, Where steady, and cool, ‘neath a brilliant sky The soldiersa of Scotland stand. Aye, here, they must fight to win or fall In the struggie for truth and right:? And brightly the bayonets of Scotland shine, As their fathers did in day lang syne; At the Alma‘s height or the Thin Red Line In the van of an Empire‘s might. ‘"‘The Campbell‘s are Coming" and "Cock o0‘ the North Resound at El Alamein. Defying dark fortune to do its worst, As into the ranks of the enemy burst, Bold Scotland‘s iron Fittyâ€"Pirst, ‘The flower of her hill and glen. In the path of the mine, through the rain of shell As onward they fiercely pressed; The song of the pibroch rose and fell By a master hand caressed. For he who played it well knew its power To fire the Scottish brain, And St. Valery‘s debt of honour was paid, And stepping stones of triumph were laid, As Sceotland‘s pipes of victory played In the breach of El Alamein. Ah, sweet, their note on that other morn In the far off India plain, When first to the Highland ear was borne The sound of the pipers strain. Then hearts long sad, with joy were filled, New courage with hope was given: As low and faint on the Goomtee‘s aid The pives of Havelock were mingled there Thus often on many a stricken day Have the pipes of Scotland played, At bloody bat‘l«@ or stern foray, In bonnet and plume arrayed, Yet, never since Douglas led the van With the Bruce‘s heart in Spain:; Has feat more daring or bold been done Than that of this Scottish son, Who pledged his life for the victory won At the breach of El Alamein. We‘ve read of the Knights of Arthur‘s train, Of the heroes of ancient Greece: Of matchless chivalry void of strain, And the Knights of the Golden Fleece, But never was deed or more daring do And never shall be again, Than dauntless MacLachlan‘s clansman true Who proudly the pipes of Scotland blew When the Highland Fiftyâ€"first went through With glory at Alamein. With the words of their trembling, thankful prayer Like an anthem of praise to heaven. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO them on the march, and you‘ll be struck by their steady, easy, tireless pace. Watch them handle their weapâ€" ons, and you‘ll see why the Canadian Army was truly "the terror of the enâ€" emy" in the last war. On the coasts and overseas the Vetâ€" erans are occupying front line posiâ€" tions. Take almost exactly the same curriculurm of training as their youngâ€" er brochersâ€"inâ€"arms, receiving instrucâ€" tion in the use of all infantry weapouns and following a regular schedule of physical training. They are schooled in defence tactics, and serve in the Deâ€" fence system of the Canadian Army in the United Kingdom in the eternai vigilance exercised against potential raids, both air and land. Not spectacular, but most effective, is the protection of vital vunerable points in Canadaâ€"The Veterans Guard is constantly on the alert and tne prowling saboteur has found them an unebatable enemy. Men who learned vigilance at sentry posts in the trenâ€" ches of 1914â€"18, where laxness meant death for the slacker as well as for his comrades, haven‘t forgotten "how". They guard prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war, where military knowledge must blend with astute police work. They must think faster than the cleverest prisoner. They must forestall trickery and clevâ€" erlyâ€"concealed plans for escape. Here again, the "old soldier" has the edge on his younger contemporaries for some of these men of the Veterans Guard were themselves prisoners durâ€" ing the last war, and are familiar with escape techniques. Preparations for escape are usually caught so quickly that they are not even classes atâ€" temptes. Only a very small fraction of attempts ever succeed in even passing the wire. And only one prisoner oi war has succeeded in getting clear away.

Bush Fires Did Much Damage in the Rouyn District Recently Due to the prolonged dry spell and the alleged carelessness of some people in setting out fires, there has been conâ€" siderable damage done in the Rouyn area, especially near the Lapa Cadilliac Mines. In reporting the matter The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press last week says, in part:â€" "Today, however, they are reported to be pretty well all extinguished or unâ€" der control. Monday‘s rainfall, about .16 inches, and prompt work on the part of the local branch of the Quebec aeâ€" partment of lands and forests and memâ€" bers of the C. I. P. staff have had thne desired result. An inspection of sevéerai townships in this district on Tuesday by officials of the lands and forests deâ€" partment reveailed that few of the fires were any longer dangerous and men were posted to keep watch where any smouldering remnants of fires were found. "Probably the most serious outbreak in this district was near the"four corâ€" ners," just east of the Lapa Cadillac mine, where thirteen or more homes were destroyed, though the majority of the occupants, many of whom were emâ€" ployees of Lapa Cadillac, were able to save most of their household effects. The fire of unknown origin, started north of the West Malartic mine proâ€" perty, travelling quickly around the Lapa ‘Cadillac buildings and on to the highway, on which is the settlement known as "Little Quebec." The timâ€" ber rights are owned by the C. I. P. and fireâ€"fighters for that company were soon on the scene with pumps, assisted by many residents of the secâ€" tion and mine workers. The fire burnâ€" ed fiercely and its is really surprising that more buildings at the edge of the bush along the highway was not desâ€" troyed. In the Little Quebec settleâ€" ment the houses were small and of light frame or log construction and, directly in the path of the flames, could not be saved. The fire covered an area of about five square miles some of which had preâ€" viously been burned over but on which there was much vounsg growth. For a time there seemed grave danger that the parish church and rectory and other buildings at Heva Corners would be destroyed, but valiant efforts to save these were successful. For a time the provincial highway between Lapa Caâ€" dillac and the corner was blocked to traffic by the flames. "Fire which on Monday practically surrounded Dome‘s Indian molybdenite property in Preissac township for a time seriously threatened the new mill and numerous other buildings there, which would have been a serious disâ€" aster at this time, when the company is nearing the production stage. All the men engaged there, however, turned in as fireâ€"fighters and fortunately their splendid efforts averted what would otherwise have been a very heavy loss. In district No. 2, which embraces all of Temiscamingue and the westetin part of Abitibi as far north as the shme of Lake Abitibi, forty fires in all Wele reâ€" ported during the past week.

In Memoriam Service for the Late Mrs. Hepburn "Instructions have been received here, too, from the attorneyâ€"general‘s depart=â€" ment at Quebec to arrest all those who, in future, set any fires without a perâ€" mit authorizing them to do so, "The law respecting public lands ana forests in Quebec is very clear, and stiff penalties are provided for those guilty of infringements." The Advance this week was advised of an error in the reference to a memâ€" orial service in connection with the reâ€" port in the last issue of The Advance of the meeting of the Presbyterial W. M.S. To correct this error, the followâ€" ing information has been sent in:â€" "The In Memoriam service was for the late Mrs. Hepburn, of South Porâ€" cupine, who passed away early last summer.
