Intimate Visit With Military Camp Life ; (By The C. S. M.) (Continued from last week) It wa.s a tired bunch of soldiers who lined up next morning. The bugle band marched through the lines at reveille, but the Greys did not need them. Already some of the boys had folded their blankets, the wrong way of course, but they had folded them. But two of the troops were not up. Lying in fond embrace, brotherly smiles on the innocent featui-es, the C. S. M. found them. Gently but firmly he ordered them to "show a leg", and to "turn up their little faces to the sunshine." It was almost use- less. Then came the clarion call of "cook, house". Immediately the blankets flew in all directions. Trousers shot on as if by magic, and two erstwhile tired soldiers streaked toward the mess tent, "*" " A great event was the securing of a pair of uniform trousers for one, Pte. Wendy. It took the captain, a Lieutenant, a C. S. M. and a couple cf quartermaster store workers to cloth Wendy in that pair of trousers, but he finally got them. Then there was the issue of straw hats, and fat- ifue clothes. The "fatigues" consist of kahki shirts and trousers, to be worn on all training parades. As usual a tall man got a little shirt that generally came down â€" not as far as it should have done, and pants that ended ?ast below the knees. Of course the short men received shirts that would have made fine nighties for the fat lady at a circus, and trou- sers that they would have placed both legs in one of the pants. However these were adju.sted and D company came on the first parade very present- able. Later ore of the companies j lost most of their straw hats. It is^ generally believed, though they will not admit it, that they ate them in a moment of extreme hunger. j Of course the company had its cas-^ ualty. Cpl. S managed to injure his knee, and was excused all parades. However, the gallant N. C. O. pottered^ about camp tidying up kits and tents. What he did off parade is nobody's business. The medical officer said, that he had a bad knee, and he must^ have had one. | Day by day the con>pany tramped, about the square, gradually becoming! proficient in swinging their rifles a-. bout and in forming close column of company. The lads put their hearts into it, and there was no better drill- ing in the camp than D co. of th'.' Greys. The evening journeys to Huntsvilla were events to be remembered. True there was little to do, but walk up and down the streets, and go to the ac- casional picture show, but the i>eople there were tolerant towards the troops. Some of the other regiments managed to cause the odd disturbance, but be it hereby recorded that not a member of D company conducted him- self in any manner that would bring discredit on the regiment and the un- iform. At the inspection by the General the Gi-eys did well, and were easily the fsmartest unit on parade. There was a .steadiness about the regiment that •was somewhat lacking in some of the other %atta1ions. The presence of a large number of ovei-seas men in the ranks probably aided in this re- spect. In shooting the unit did fine. Lieut. Thurston led the company In shooting and some of the troops were not far behind. The battle scheme was enjoyed by all. Despite the drenching rain, and the severe elect- rical storm the troops came through in real wartime style. An accident occurred during the storm that might have be«n tragic, but it seemed that the battalion could easily be called the "Lucky Greys". As the advance guard of the attacking force was advancing, in a heavy elect- rical storm, a bolt struc^< a fence through which the troops were pass- ing. Two nten received slight shocks, and three rifles that were leaning against the fence were hurled several yards. The rain poured down but the boys kept on with a steadines.? that might have been envied by more jieagoned soldiers. As usual there were the tricks on new recruits, though D company miss- ed this attention. Several innocents appeard at the officers' tents to in- quire as to whei-o they would get the whitewash to paint the last post. Sjme inq«irc<l for the picket lines that they had been gent to get. One carried his mug to th« coloneJ'a tent, Apples From West Osprey Council Last week Miss Tena Henderson The Osprey Municipal Council met of town received a number of crab according to adjournment, at Maxwell, on Saturday, August 31, with all the apples from her' brother, Robt. Hend- erson, of Weyburn, Sask,, that had grown in his own back yara garden. They wei-e of good size and nicely colored. There are very few- apple trees growing in the West, for seme reason or other and this event looms large in the eyes of the grower. It may be cnly a few short years until the West wUI be able to supply it.s own demand in the apple market. BOWLING NEWS T,wo rinks of bowlers attended a tournament at Dundalk on Monday night and third prize was taken by a rii«k composed of Mr. and Mrs. J. 0. Dargavel and Mr. and Mrs. McCauley. A local fruit jitney was played on Friday last, the prizes being taken by Chas. McLean 1st, W. F. Potter 2nd, Mrs. Bennett 3rd and Mrs. Archie Sinclair 4th. A meeting of the men's bowling club will be held at W. F. Potter's members present and the Reeve, Mr. Lockhart in the chair, and the fol- lowing business was tran.sacted: First came the minutes of the July meeting which were read and upon being found correct v«is duly disposed of. The mail was light this month and the communications read were a letter from W. McCuay asking to cancel the assessed dogs on his farm, as this is not possible, Mr. Mc- Quay will be asked to pay so much per dog along with his taxes. Next came a letter from W. Hannon requesting a job cutting brush along V.\e road on the South Line, this was loi' . 1 1 the discretion of the Roan Supi. to take what ever action he thought best.
