over ther age limit (45 years) and under te minimum heighth which is 5ft 2 but I am sure there are fellows down there shorter than Holly and he says he is only 5ft 1 in. I think they are thaking al,ost anybody who will join. Old Bill George and two of his sons have enlisted. Old Bill will make a pretty figure in unifoen. If they aim high enough he will make a good mark but they could soot a good sized shell beteen his knees and ghim standing at attention. Hammy Jones joine dyesterday too. Hammy joined on a bet. Hargreaves one of the boys in khaki bet Hammy he could spot him 25 playing beat him. Hamy took him up. Hargreaves said if he did would bhe enlist and Hammysaid he would so when he lost he kept his word I thought he would some g=day anyeay, he has been ther length of a good deal of sarcasm as tere were a great many "patriotic" busy bodies who coulsdn't understand what their was to keep him home. Thery will have to tuern all their attention to Cluift lees snow but I don;t think it will affect him much., he is to-day seeing L.G. Morgan & the Penman's Company for the pond or something or other. I guess he is smatyer than most people took jhim for but he can'tbe any crookeder
