Col. llalston Inspects Units, liir Fields

Defence Minister J. l... Ralsion completed his brief tour of in- spection in this province yester- day and left. by plane shortly after noon eiiroute to Ottawa. He arriv- ed at Summerside from saint John Wednesday night.

Early yesterday morning the De- fence Mlliistcr visited the elemen- tary air training school at St. Eleanors, one of the Empire air training fields. It will be called the Silnimerside airport, it was announced.

Following his inspection of the all" school Col. Rulston came t0 Charlottetown by motor. He was accompanied by Premier Thane A. Campbell, B. W. Robinson, MLA, and Peter G. Clark.

At the Beach Grove Inn mili- trny training centre the Minister inspected men of the Non-Per- manent Active Militia. He con- gratulated Col. F. l. Andrew, the officer commanding, and his assoc- iate officers, telling them it was B. "great inspiration" to see the men at work. 1t ivas the second of the 39 military training centres he in- spected, he sold.

The Minister praised the pro- gress the men made after only three weeks in camp. The smart- ncss and steadiness of the men was high testimony to the admir- able training they had received.

They could not. learn the trade of soldicrlng in 30 days, lie eon- tinucd, but they could learn the foundation principles, physical drill, ciiscipline, and fundamentals of infantry drill and musketry.

_Tlie training camps would pro- vide for emergencies, he declared. The soldiers in the centres would be prepared to do their part if the time came.

"There is a big job to be done in trimming Hitler, let us go to 1t," lie concluded.

Before leaving the camp the Minister visited the hospital and chatted with the patients there.

At the veterans guard camp at the Brighton ordnance compound Col. Ralston saw the unit on par- ade and congratulated the men on tlicir appearance. To use Klplings ivords. he snld, “you are back in 1tllG army again, you cannot stay
