“Chance for Deserters. It is hoped that all outstanding absentees and deserters in Military District No. 3 will take advantage of the opportunity given them to escape punishment by reporting for duty not later than the 24th instant. This chance is afforded them by the Governor-General’s proclamation of August 1st.
Those who report for duty up to 24th August will be free from punishment, and such of them as are entitled to it will be given harvest or other leave. Absentees and deserters failing to report during the period of amnesty must understand that they have no clemency to hope for. Instructions have already been received at District Headquarters to try by court martial and inflict severe penalties upon all outstanding absentees and deserters apprehended after 24th August, 1918.”

“Successful Red Cross Function. Under the auspices of the ladies of Halston Women’s Institute, there was held on Wednesday evening in the school grounds at Mount Pleasant Church, one of the most enjoyable and profitable garden parties of the season. The cash receipts were over $200.
The Sulphide Band furnished excellent music and the general programme was of a high character. Those participating were Misses Lawrenson, Hamilton, Pitman and Messrs. Gowe and Parks. A very instructive address was delivered by Col. E. D. O’Flynn. Mr. John Elliott acted as Chairman. The meeting was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem and cheers for the ladies of the local branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society.”
