east end which, for a period of time, was going to 
     
     cost the Club members the sum of $250.00. The next 
     
     day, at the Bank of Montreal, seven members; Frank 
     
     Heartz, Bill Weeks, Dan MacKinnon, Ted Coombs, Charles 
     
     Leigh, John Hyndman, and Keith Rogers, affixed their 
     
     names to a note, and the Provincial Rifle Association 
     
     began construction of their bungalow. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The summer wore on and the building proceeded. 
     
     On October 16th, a special bulletin was issued to all 
     
     members of th gun club advising them of the clubhouse, 
     
     and urging their participation in helping to cover the 
     
     dollars; 
     
    
   
   
    
     "To The Members: 
     
    
   
   
    
     On July 16th, a meeting of the club, of 
     
     which due notice was given, was held to 
     
     decide upon the advisability of taking steps 
     
     to secure for present and future use a 
     
     portion of the new bungalow then being 
     
     erected by the Provincial Rifle Association 
     
     on the Kensington Rifle Range. As the 
     
     eventual cost of the building was expected to 
     
     be borne by the Department of Milita, anda 
     
     telegram to that effect was received, those 
     
     present decided to make a temporary 
     
     contribution to the amount of $250 on behalf 
     
     of the Gun Club to secure our share of the 
     
     building, namely one room 30° x 15° laid out 
     
     for the Club's use, and with outlook toward 
     
     the East River. This room is now completed 
     
     and ready for immediate occupancy, and will, 
     
     no doubt, be a very spacious and suitable 
     
     location for a permanent home for the 
     
     Newstead Gun Club, which will be available at 
     
     all seasons free of rent, and it is hoped 
     
     will be in use for many years to come. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In the meantime, and due to the 
     
    
   
   
    
     outbreak of war, the financial engagements of
