Foresters Used Bren Gun At Owen Sound Sunday ^lErt, Company of the F>;resters were at the Sarawak ranges, north of Owen Sound, Sunday afternoon and took part in the Bren gun shoot- ing, making them familiar with the weapons they have studied. The platoons from Markdale, Meaford and Durham attended. Your editor was included in the party, but we were not proud of our score, no I doubt due to inactivity during the past year. Frank Irwin of the Dur- ham Chronicle, a veteran of the Phillipine War with the United Army of some years ago, also tried his eye through the sights of the Bren, which we no doubt presume, he found distinctly different from the rifle he used at that time. He gave the target a very good beating, too. from cur position as observer. A meal was served to the troops, presided over by C.Q.M.S. Bob Phil- lips, and his staff and the boys did the expected and nothing was left ?yeT. Civllizatio* â€" That day when a man's business life and his private life are run on the same ethics. Robt.
