Passed by CensorpROM the young men who used to spend their winter weekends skiing 1 on the snow-covered hills of Canada, the Dominion has created a body of ski troops who are second to none. Long experience in this popular sport made it easy for these men to adapt themselves to the conversion of skiing from a pastime to the sterner purposes of war. Already they have proved their value in Iceland and many thousands of them are ready to demonstrate their merits in other theatres of war if necessary. The photographs show a platoon of ski troops on manoeuvres and a sniper who would be very difficult to spot.
