Watches For Volunteers

Presentations are the order of the day in local military circles. With the soldier boys leaving on Friday morning, the time yet to elapse is very short, and the members of the different units of the Dufferin Rifles seized the occasion before inspection last evening to make several presentations.

The brass band met before being called out and presented Sergeant Miller with a wrist watch, Bandsmen Beattie and McCutcheon doing the honors for the occasion.

The bugle band also met before the inspection, honoring Bugler Beech and Drummers Richards and Frost with wrist watches and Gillette razors each, as tokens of the band’s esteem for the trio, all of whom have enlisted for active service.
