Horses Return To Borden
Old Riders Rally Around
Seek Jobs as Drivers and Riding Supervisors at Camp
Will Haul Supplies
DUCKWORTH
these days. Horses are coming back to the Canadian army and when
Camp Borden gets its allotment of about 100, there are going
to be some jobs for men who can ride. The 100 will be used almost
entirely for transport purposes -- to haul camp supplies and
do some of the trucking work -- but there'll be two or three
saddle horses for mounted supervisors. Its the prospect of getting
to be mounted supervisors that has old cavalrymen on their ears.
Major DUCKWORTH, camp supply and transport officer, says: "We
have a good many veterans of the last war who are quite capable
of handling our driving, and there will be a course in driving
for N.C.O.'s. Capt.
WILSON and I will conduct the course." Plans
are also underway for the construction of stables, but Major
DUCKWORTH labels as false the rumor that some of the garages
will be made over. The automobile having once supplanted the
horse in the army, is here to stay -- except in the affection
of the old army cavalrymen.
