Martin, in rising to propose a toast to "the press", declared that the newspapers are a strong factor in Canada's war-time life. In res- ponse, William Fry, editor of the Dunnville Chronicle, declared that the press of this district were hap- py to be able to do their part. "There are many of us who are not in uniform,” he declared, "but we feel that there are ways which we civilians can assist, and you of- ticers in charge of Canada's war ef- fort may be sure that if there is anything which we can do to assist you in your work we should con- sider it a' privilege to do so. Our best wishes are extended to you in the magnificent work you are do- He spoke but briefly of the chief concern of the authorities at pres- ent, the escape of a young German naval officer from an internment camp somewhere in northern On- tario. He believed that the press generally might be making too much of the affair, declaring that hundreds of British Canadian sol- diers did the same thing during the last war. He described the escaped man as "very clever and highly educated", but would not comment further for publication. Dinner at the Officers' Mess Tuesday was attended by Major General R. o. Alexander, recently appointed officer commanding Mili- tary District No. 2, which com- prises practically the whole of On- tario. General Alexander is a short, slight man with a keen gaze. He believes that the men Joining the colours for this war are every bit as good as those who enlisted in 1914, and he praised the manner in which they have been fitting themselves into military life. In camp at present is the Thir- teenth Infantry Brigade under command of Major Martin. In.. cluded in this active service unit is the Lincoln and Welland Regi- ment commanded by Col. Charles Muir, the Dufferin and Haldimand Rifles and the Argyle and Suther- land Highlanders. It is doubtful if any of these units will be proceed- ing overseas, at least for the time being. They will, however, be do- ing home guard duty for the dura- tion of the. war. Other Regiments at present in camp include the Lorne Scots, on a two-week annual camp. On the grounds the late after- noon is apparently a rest-period. Many soldiers were in the tents writing letters, chatting with their fellows or cleaning their equipment. A few lines of men were seen marching, among them a detach- ment of veterans going out to guard duty. There is something about the way veterans march which is quite distinct from the younger soldiers. They seem to move with a minimum of effort, and if they were walking indivi- dually one would almost put it down as a saunter. MRS. BARBARA NUNNAMAKER In the passing away of Mrs. Barbara Nunnamaker, widow of the late Roscoe Nunnamaker, which occurred last Friday evening at the residence of Mr. Edward Dobrindt Jordan, the district loses one of its well known and highly esteemed residents. The deceased, who was in her 77th year, had been failing in health for the past 18 months. Residing in the Jordan district for many years, she enjoy- ed the acquaintance of a host of friends who learned of her passing with sincere regret. In religion she was a member of the Jordan Station United church, taking an active interest in the affairs of the same until failing health prevented. To mourn her passing she leaves one sister, Mrs. Wellington NunnJa- maker of Jordan Station. A short service was held at the residence of Mr. Edward Dobrindt, Jordan, on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock fol- lowing which public service was held in Jordan Station United church at 2.30 o'clock. Interment in Oak Lawn Cemetery, Jordan. The camp is a self - contained unit. It has its own hospital and medical men, chaplains, engineers and police system, while the camp band was heard during the dinner hour. (Continued from page 1) guarded place in which all visitors were carefully watched was dis- pelled as this writer found himself free to wander anywhere and to talk with the men. There was a "conducted tour" in charge of Col. Smythe, but its purpose was con- venience for the visitors, who had many questions courteously ans- wered. Some of the writers broke ranks when something particularly interested them, and there were no sentries to stop their wandering, or to remind them that they were "out of bounds".
