The rifle enthusiasts were filled to repletion with this favourite bit of training, while the tendcr, under Midshipman Fraser, lcearned their left foot is right However, it was a bit of a surprise that this movie lasted for only 40 minâ€" utes, and so, besides the movie there were seamanship and gunnery classes. And by the way, the pictures taken a week ago Friday turned out so well that the Seamanship Officer has asked the accountant branch to get enlargeâ€" ments for him. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity. Last week we saw the last of the Naval training films and ailthough some of the lads are sorry ‘that an excuse for sculling has vanished, they will admit that "Brought To Action" was a fitting conclusion. We could rave on and on about the merits of this picture but the editors don‘t think that so much space should be expendâ€" ed. Suffice it to say that it was very good, and we should like to publicly thank the director of photography for the Naval Service for his excellent coâ€"operation. Hello Chums:â€" Here we are again at ancther weekly parade, wracking our brains, wonderâ€". ing what is going to interest you this ; week. Of course we are still full of excuses, and this weather has given me a daisy of a gripe.
