Brig. Foster, who was president of the Canadian Legion, sums up the duties of the: Auxiliary Services as being to. provide spiritual, recreational and cultural aids for Canada's fighting men. "It must be our aim," he said, "so to conduct the life of these young men that they may be fitted physically and mentally for the tasks that lie ahead, and, complementary to this endeavour, that we should try to equip them that, when the brighter day comes when they shall once more be returning to civil life, they will do so better than when they joined His Majesty's Services."
Enlisted men represent a cross section of the youth of this fair Dominion, stated Brig. Foster, ind every reasonable effort will and indeed must be made to preserve their potential value as the leaders of tomorrow. It is our earnest hope that by provision of Auxiliary Services on a scale and at a standard worthy of our voluntary army snd worthy of Canada itself, we may in the future reap a rich harvest in young men disciplined in the comradeship of service, broadened in outlook, and fitted to face and overcome the difficulties of post-war reconstruction."
