Kingston, June 21 (To the Editor): I feel there has been some misunder- standing as to the attitude of the members of St. John's Ambulance 3 Brigade, toward their church parade on Sunday next, I have been at all the meetings, and have not heard one member of the brigade object to be- Bing "ordered" to parade. = It would g| be absurd to do so, for while our ser- gl vices are voluntary, ence we sign up|. the we are under orders. As for that uniforms, we quite understand they are to be purchased at our own | [| expense, and all the V. A. Ds who work in the hospital have the com- plete indoor uniform. ° It has been g felt by those in authority that we should have the straw hat and leather belt to wear on the street to and from Ji the hospital, as they do in larger cities. These can be procured at a trifling cost . This is the only addi- tional expense connected with the church parade. 1 am sure on the whole "the V. A. Ds are pleased with the idea of attending church together on this occasion, as 'the object is to return thanks that Jerusalem, where the work of the brigade was begun many centuries ago, during the Crusades, is at last in the hands of the British, ' I also feel I am only voicing the feel ing of the V. A.
