The Council could be made up of the Reeve1 or second-in-command of the Battalion. Major F. L. Dudley. Deputy Reeve, Clerk and Treasurer combined would be the Adjutant. Capt. H. R. S.

Naturally the council has to have Its staff of clerks', collectors, etc.. and these are all contained in the Battalion Orderly Room and the Company Orderly rooms. From there on the unit breaks down Into much the same Items you find In a town. We have a post office which distributes as, . many as four bags of mall and 1 parcels every other day. a doctor ' and staff who take care of as manias 30 patients a day, an Intelligence section which prepares maps of ,the surrounding country and also acts as the town newspaper In keeping a diary of all important events which occur.

Tne Quartermaster and staff might be compared to a Jobber who orders the goods for all the different people, for the kitchens and for all buildings. In a town this service Is duplicated so many times that considerable efficiency Is lost. Possibly this is because of the difference ln prices. There ls-only one price ior each article in the army. I Men of All Trades I We could go on and describe the other services which are rendered but it might become tiring so fot a short summary, here are the men you find in the Midlands: a o-man oand who also act and are trained as first aid men and siretcner beacers, cooks, carpenters, plumbers, police, road build-ers, butchers, sewer diggers, electricians, clergy, miners, engineers, truck drivers, mechanics and a dozen and one other Jobs including teachers.

You, at home, without any sons in the army don't and can't know what a letter or a parcel means to a soldier. If he doesn't get his mail regularly he worries and when he worries he is no good for anybody, not even himself, and quite frequently he gets Into trouble of one kind and another. So .keep the mall coming and the parcels of home made cooking and other delicacies which let him know that you are still thinking of him. That's about all for this week. There are many Items such as the unveiling of the beautiful cairn at Edmonton; the farewell at the sta.-tlon by hundreds of people who were sorry to see the Midlands leave the place; the difficulties encountered in our new location, the crazy antics of the lads having (un lone chap spent most of Sunday on the side of thc road fishing in a pall of oil much to winder of passing motorists); the water fights and a hundred and one other occurrences which arc all ln the life of an army unit, but we'll leaye these for another time.
