To neglect the lessons oi history in planning for the iuture is to sacrifice at least one of liie's most valuable sources of guidance. t he Christian's thought is con- gtmtly recalled to the origins oi his religion-any historical religion demands this For the Christian to think or those origins as oi little sccoimt is to weaken tiie very (iiundations oi his belief. and to lay hiniseli open to every kind oi

It is more import- gnt. to know the whither than the whence of human liie.

The Christian goal in this world may be differently understood and expressed both by individuals and churches; perhaps some oi these varied aims might even appear to be illci. ncilable. Most would agree that the Church is the supreme instrument ior the extension oi God's Kingdom. however this phrase may be interpreted.

But God's Kingdom. on this earthly, plane oi human existence. must express. itself through the lives or individual men and human institutions. It is thereiore the Christian's duty to seek in every aspect oi his liie to eoniorm to the divine pattem-so tar as he can

mprehend it. and to strive to create such a social order as shall help and not hinder the individ- llai'a quest ior God.

Lt.-Col. ll. 0. Williams

, The military setup in this Pro- vince has changed considerably since the start oi the last war, but one think remains the same. That is the iact that at the head oi each oi the local units is a com- manding oiiicer.

This column icels that a better acquaintance between the troops and "the Old -Man" is made pos- sible when a briei sketch of his military liie is known to them. sometimes a realisation oi the struggle to reach thetop made by an oiiicer is an inspiration to the recruit just starting out on his military career. i

Pictured above is Lieut. Col. H. Gordon Williams who last year took over command of the 28th L. A. A. Regiment on the retirement of Lieut. Col. (now Brigadier) G. G. Peake.

Col. Williams started out with the 5th Iniantry Div. Signals way back in 1927 as a signalnuin. A year later he "was transierred to the Artillery and aiicr seven years service with the big guns he re- ceived his commission as a lieut- enant. Remainlng with the artil- lery through the jittery years leading to the 40's he enlisted ior active service on the outbreak oi war. -

During the. training period in Petawawa in 1944) he was promot- ed to captain. the rank he held when he went overseas the lol- lowing year. It was in England in 1042 that he received his majority and it was as a major that he returned to Canada at the end oi the war in 1046.

The obvious needs of the Re- serve iorces did not escape his attention and he returned to mil- itary liie with the mth. with which unit he served until his ap- pointment to command theireg- lment.

In civilian liie Col. Williams is an accountant with the firm or H. R. Doane and Co. and is widely known throughout the Island. He resides on North River Road with his wiie. the iormer Jean Bills of Tyne Valley. who held a commis- sion as Flight oiiicer in the Wo- men's Division oi the R C. A. F. duriru the war. They have two children. both girls.

The big news in the 28th L.A.A. Regiment this week is the ap- pointment oi Major T. E. (Bi.-zzy) Wellner as second-in-Command. The poet has been vacant ior sev- eral months since the naming oi Lieut. Col. H. G. Williams to com- mand the unit. Maj. Wellner is one oi the more popular oiiicers in the regiment and his appoint- ment will be learned with genuine pleasure by I. host oi friends in be military and civilian liie. B is also the popular presid- ent oi the Oiiicers' Mess at the Armour-' .

Another promotion within the unit is that or Captain 0.!-i. Kidd who has been acting adjutsnt. His well merited majority has been an- nounced and he now takes over command oi the lilth L.A.A. Bat- tery as Major Kidd. It will be an appointment which meets with general approval by alljranks.

Word has been received irom Eastern Command oi the accept- ance into the regiment of liieut C. G. Callaghan and his appoint- ment to the 114th I...A.A. Battery.

There have been two other pro- motions or appointments within the Artillery unit this past week. One or them was the promotion of Acting Sergeant W. 1:. Pierce. Bouris. to be Oiiicer cadet in the Command Contingent 0.0. T. 0. ON. Pierce has long been known as the eiiicient goalie oi F. Troop. Souris team in the Garrison I-loc-. . key League.

Not one train on the div-t ision has met enough snow to' prevent their arriving almost on time. and only on two occasions mu has it been thought ilt to send a . plow extra out ahead oi the morning train to Borden. Compare this with earlier years. 1906-6 was to my mind the worst winter ior snow in the past iiity years. That winter trains were tied up ior weeks at a time.

It was about the same time that a train crew leit Charlottetown on February 7th and did not get back there until the xth. Mails were being handled by couriers from Charlottetown to Tlgnlsh ior al- most all the month. The same conditions existed all over the Is- land. o

It is reported on usually reliable authority that some speed records may have been broken ior the trip from Mt. Stewart to this city re- cently. It was said to be a race between the S.s.M. oi B Squad- ron and the bird with the big flapping wings. We hear that.on occasions the ground speed was equal to that required for a take- oii. Anyway Cally won the race with the stark by the matter oi three minutes, 20 yards and the wnvenlence oi a nearby hospital stretcher. Close timing. boy, but congratulations on the new addit- ion.

Those conditions continued al- most every winter. but probably to not as great an extent.

The winter oi 1917-18 was a really bad one. snow started early in December and continued well on until February. on numerous occasions a whole week would elapse when no train would reach Borden. (That was the first win- ter oi the car ierry.)

O I O

1922 was another bad winter. especially in the early part oi Feb- ruary. Conditions were bad. Al though the larger engines and plows irom the mainland were in operation, on many days all . trains would be stuck or cancelled and there were nimeraus cases in which plows or engines would be on the track. The weather during this period was very cold at times. t . the temperature dropping to 13 or 20 below zero on several occasions.

IM was also a bad winter, especially the month of March. There was a period oi six days in which no trains were operated to- Borden or summe side. and a hockey extra returning irom sum- merslde. and carrying ninety resi- dents oi Charlottetown, was stall- ed for iive days at liimerald.
