An amendment to the Volunteer Or dinance, published in the. Government. Gazette, states: It shall be lawful for the Governor to entrust the general ad- ministration of the Carps to shab Oficer as he may think fit
The effect of this Order is to remore an inconsistency which formerly existed between Regulations 3 (10) in the First Schedule to the Volunteer Ordinance, 1920, and section 2 (a) of the Ordinance and Regulations 5' (8). Regulation 3 (10), which is now rescinded, provided that the administrative commandant should always be the officer commanding Section 2 (a); the infantry battalion. placed the appointment in the hands of the Governor.)

"Dear Colonel Gordon, On the completion of my inspection, I should be glad if you would convey to the unit commanders and all ranks of the S.V.C. my admiration of the good work done by them during the past year. Though regular training had no doubt been considerably curtailed by the three months' mobilization, I find the standard of training as high as ever and the same exprit-de-corp," keenness and energy displayed by everyone.
