THOUGHTLESSNESS

-GUN PRACTICE DURING SERVICF

BAD TASTE RESENTED

Widespread criticism was voiced -at Sunday's solemn .memorial service when the proceedings were frequent ly interrupted by bursts of machinc gun fire from the hill reserve. Several of the speakers found it necessary to pause in the midst of their remarks in order to allow the commotion to die down.

It was obvious that a little necessary held exercise was being carried out on Hillcresti, • but a flagrant breach of courtesy was committed by'not at least suspending the firing until the time for the memorial service bad elapsed.

So persistent were the interruptions that general resentment was expressed by almost every adult present.
