of
Command
Officers,

commissioned
officers
and
men
of
the
First
Reserve
Battalion,
Prince
Rupert
Machine
Gun
Regiment,
turned
out
in
full
muster
at
the
Armory
last
night
to
bid
farewell
to
their
departing
officer
commanding;
Lieut.
Col.
G,
C.
Oswell,
on
the
eve
of
his
leaving
here
for
new
dutie3
'
at
Alberni,
Vancouver
Island.
Features
of
the
proceedings
included
the
turning
over
of
the
command
to
Capt.
C.
J.
Toombs
and
an
inspection
of
the
unit
by
the
area
commandant,
Col.
Colin
Ferrie.
The
esteem
and
respect
in
which
Col.
Oswell
is
held
were
amply
testified
to
by
various
tokens
and
the
new
commanding
officer
was
given
an,
auspicious
inaugural.
After
making
his
inspection,
Col.
Ferrie
congratulated
the1
personnel
of
the
unit
on
its
enthusiasm
and
keenness
which
were
indeed
difficult
to
keep
up
in
addition
to.
normal
civilian
occupations
under
pressure
of
war
conditions.
He
was
particularly
pleased
to
see
young
men
in
the
unit.
Col.
Oswell
expressed
thanks
for
the
support
which
he
had
been
accorded
during
the
two
years
he
had
been
here.
"You
7fpHows
are
the
best
in
the
-world,"
he
said.
The
training
they
had
received
in
the
reserve
had
stood
those
who
had
'gone
active
in
good
stead.
He
hoped
that
the
enthusiasm
and
support
which
he
had
received
would
also
be
extended
to
the
new
commanding
officer
a
man
with
a
good
record
from
the
last
war
"a
fine
fellow
and
a
square
shooter.''
It
was
a
privilege
for
a
city
to
have
a
regiment
named
after
it
and
he
.trusted
that
there
would
be
no
drop
in
the
enthusiasm
and
activity.
Capt.
Toombs
felt
that
ColJ
Oswell
would
be
deeply
missed.

The
Maritime
Commission
chairman
and
Henry

guests.
Mr.

the
plan

at
the

luncheon
"is
to
accelerate

the
Maritime
Commission's
development,
design
and
construction
ol
greatly

He

Mr.

as
saying:
'
"We

Admiral
