Pilot’ Archie Ulry. After lunch, him off at Calgary and there he re- ceived & gold Air Force ring as a fare- well gift. ‘We're all pulling for you! A Bren gun carrier goes into action, accompanied by infantry in full. battle equipment, in a demonstration of mod- ern battle tactics. The infantry gives an exhibition of special drills and the full dress parade is led by a 27-piece military band. The convoy is accompanied by a re- cruiting party with complete. medical examination. board. Men may be ex- | amined, attested and enlisted right in their own ttown., Recruits are. needed for all branches of the army service, and friends may be posted to ihe same. unit. Men of military age are urged to take this opportunity and get in- formation on units in which they are interested. by contacting tthe recruiting officer with the convoy. The Convoy will visit Bowden in the fternoon and Innisfail in the even- ing of Tuesday, June 10th. After word was received from. Cal- gary on Monday that the visit of the Recruiting Convoy to Olds scheduled for Tuesday morning, June 3rd, had been postponed one week, a meeting of the Victory Loan committee was held. It was decided to postpone the parade and program of the Victory Loan which was to have been held in conjunction with the Recruiting. Con- voy. A further meeting of the com- mittee will be held at the week-end when it will be definitely decided whe- ther the original program as planned for June 3rd, will be carried out or not. The idea of local. floats and: a pro- .| gram was to start the Victory Loan campaign off with a bang, However, the campaign will be well under way by June 10th, when the.mobile convoy visits Olds, and thus this part of the program may be dispensed with en- tirely. Don’t forget the dance tonight in the Arena Auditorium. Music supplied by Sonny Fry and his orchestra. _ Fresh and. Cured Meats Fish and Poultry W. e Buy Poultry CURRIE BROS.
