The-
training
year
of
the
Reserve
Army
runs
from
April
1
to
the
following
year.
As
the
current
training
year
comes
to
ia
close
it
is
possible
to
make
a
breakdown
or
the
musketry
practices
that
have
been
car
ried
on
through
the
year.
During
the
Inspector
General's
vistt
to
the
Regiment,
he
inspected
the
musketry
scores
and
he
remarked
on
the
excellent
high
average
scores
obtained
by
all
ranks
of
the
Regiment.

thing

that

Prince
Rupert
Airport
...
Prince
Rupert
had
hoped
that
an
air
field
might
have
been
one
of
the
wartime
developments
here
which
would
have
been
of
lasting
benefit
to
the
locality
but
Ottawa
has
announced
that,
owing
to
cost
and
difficulty
of
getting
the
necessary
labor,
the
project
has
been
abandoned.
We
at
least
know
where
we
stand
for
the
moment
in
regard
to
the
airport.
However,
we
should
not
give
up
the
idea
altogether.
With
the
undoubted
expansion
of
commercial
aviation
after
the
war,
it
will
become
increasingly
necessary
that,
if
Prince
Rupert
is
to
be
a
modern
and
properlv
,
equipped
transportation
centre,
it
will
have
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
land
planes
as
well
as
water
aircraft.
An
air
field.
will
be
one
of
our
outstanding
postwar
requirements
and
will
have
worthy
claim
in
the
classification
of
a
rehabilitation,
project.
We
will
have
to
continue
to
press
for
some
development
along
this
line
locally.
The
fact
that
the
government
mav
deem
it
is
impracticable
at
this
time
does
ot
make
it
any
the
less
necessary.
"Meet
the
Navy"
Great
Show...
"Meet
the
Navy,"
the
great
Navy
show
that
is
being
staged
in
Prince
Rupert
primarily
and
fairly
enough
for
the
people
of
the
forces,
is,
we
believe,
quite
worthy
of
some
special
mention
in
this
column.
It
is
the
finest
and
most
ambitious
entertainment
that
has
ever
been
staged
in
Prince
Rupert
unless
the
Army
Show
which
was
here
several
months
ago
might
be
said
to
have
matched
iti
And
the
Navy
Show
is
more
than
a
mere
vaudeville
or
music
hall
offering.
There
is
much
outstanding
talent
although,
in
view
of
the
taste
of
the
younger
folk
who

the
lighter
side
i
stressed.
Captain
J.
P.
Connelly
and
those
associated
with
him
in
the
great
undertaking
are
to
be
heartily
congratulated
and
there
might
be
a
special
word
for
the
very
fine
orchestra
led
by
Eric
Wild
which
is
no
nauseating
band
of
jive
dispensarians
but
one
of
the
most
harmonious
and
ably
conducted
concert
orchestras
which
has
ever
played
in
Prince
Rupert.
The
orchestra,
of
course,
is
always
the
vital
thing
in
an
entertainment
of
this
kind.
In
this
case
one
could
shut
one's
eyes
to
the
show
and
revel
in
the
melodic
and
technical
perfection
of
the
orchestra.

like
