cor THE And Foresters Retained New Canadian Militia Plan it is matter of some pride and satis faction that Squadron of the Grey Simcoe Foresters Regiment based at Barrie Armoury has not been affected in the great reorganiution Inn for the Canadian Militia Defence inister Paul Hellyer announced that the government is disbandlng 58 major units and reduc ing is minor units The saving will be $17000000 annually which is relative ly tiny amount where the defence of Canada is involved Past overnrnents have fiddled with the mill in peace time much to their later regret speci fically in 1914 and 1939 However there is satisfaction in Hon Mr Hellyers notice that there Will be much tightening up in administration along with streamhning of supply and service units Higher medical standards will be introduced to weed out the no fit and physical fitness will be stressed It has been well known for some time that many militia units in Canada exist ed almost on paper alone But such has not been the case in Barrie Captain Harris Steele his officers and squadron personnel are to be commended And the 00s predecessor Major How ard now residing in Ottawa should also be congratulated for he laid thelground work of the present efficient militia or ganiulion Some citizens probably do not know or appreciate the fact that in Barrie there are actually three units with total strength of 102 men comprising nine officers 14 sergeants 15 corporals and the balance troopers of the armoured corps There is not one noneffective in this squadron The militia group at Barrio Armoury also has 12 members of the Canadian Womens Army Corps who handle the clerical work Gre fr Simcoe Foresters has regg mental history going back almost years The county battalions of Grey and Slmcoe were combined 30 years ago but both regiments had honorable re cords in such national emergencies the Fenian Raids and Northwest Rebel lions of Louis Riel as well as major roles in the combat of the two world wars and the Korean conflict of more recent date The Foresters have been affected to some degree in that the troo based at Oriilia and Collingwood will disband ed But their men will relocate with their parent squadrons at Midland and Owen Sound Barrios Squadron has been re ceiving congratulations in recent weeks for applying the team which won the Cent Command leadership and in itiative competition against more than 100 infantry and armoured regiments in Ontario This was tremendous feat While there has been speculation about the fate of the militia for the past year the strength and competence of the Grey and Simcoc Foresters was such that few observers feared that this regiment would he cut Locally Squadron can now contin ue with renewed confidence and improv ed eguipment Training night is every Tues ay and currently courses are being conducted for recruits trained militia men and combat leaders Instruction is also provided in wireless gunnery driv ing and maintenance first aid national

Marts ayear ago to study the model medical insuri llilE and dated the Roberts Pwr It meant principally that the main question became whether we should have public insur Ince and how much of it Consideration of the rela lively very minor Roberts plan in relation to it became so oondary Mr Roberts it is tare could stidr pigheadedly by his plan But he has already indicated he doesnt intend to do so He has said he isnt wed ded to his plan and will con ider anything that Ottawa may bring forward At the very least it is not yd little to cry alarm ance legislation which had been introduced in the legislature This legislation covered voi untary medical insurance prov gramwhich would be carried of study was not absolutely confinedto this bill it cer limited So that presumably it will bei
