STAN'S LUNCH and TAXI -ar", AL. THECIthert SPORTS COLUMN &met ?nem, This column is a composite—a voice cry- ing in' the wilderness, and a man engaged in the futile process of locking the stable after the horse has departed. But wilderness or not, this voice is still in favor of the Grey Cup final being played as a home-and-borne series, between the eastern and western football whiners. Pretty nearly everybody else has declared to the ..contrary, including the Canadian Rugby Union itself, but we still claim the right to speak our piece on behalf of fans, east and west, because we happen to think that under the present one-game final, the fans don't get a fair break., We grant freely that the one-game football final in Toronto is the greatest Sports show Canada produces, and that Varsity Stadium at Toronto with its tarpaulin-covered field is better fit- ted than any other one place in the Dominion for such an event. On the drama of a one-game final, and on the setting and equip- ment, there's not the slightest argument. But the world's baseball series and the Stanley Cup series are reasonably dramatic events too. Yet they are not settled in one game, in a city which may be a neutral battle-ground, many miles from the home-sites of the contending teams. The folks who made possible, by their seasonal box-office contributions, the, very existence of the winning teams in the American and National baseball leagues, and in the National Hockey League, get a chance to see their beloved heroes in the final classic, and that's more than you can say, as a general rule, of the Canadian football final. And we happen to think this isn't fair to the fans who have supported the winning teams. To this radical observer, the one-game set-up is the height of frustration for fend= in the home cities of the winning teams, `something akin to throwing the audience out of a theatre just as the dramatic finale of a gripping thriller is about to begin. Perhaps we're wrong, We're merely offering the opinion that the Grey Cup could follow, in lesser fashion, the pattern of the world's baseball series or Stanley Cup series, and be settled by home-and-home games, one in each of the cities whose team won the title. We believe the fans in Ottawa, Montreal and Hamilton would like to see the team they made possible, playing for the top honors. So would fans in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Re- 1 gine and Calgary who under present plans, can't get a peek at the play, at all, at least not until television comes in. While we're, in a mood which is not one of sweet reasonable- . negs, we might as well disagree, too, with the hoist to eight im- ported players per team, as against seven. This, we believe, furnishes double discouragement for Canadian athletes seeking a football career. Eight imports minimize their chances of making any of the major teams, and the salaries necessary to lure Ameri- can players here leave little money, comparatively, for Canadian athletes, thus obscured in their own game. We believe the C.11,11., as an economic measure to protect clubs which are spending too much money on imports as it is, should have reduced the number of imports. But, after all, we're merely a voice crying in the wilderness. t5 r.

Eugene King, Dover, said its sale is "an accepted fact."

The principles behind the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Movement -were enunciated by WC E. As D.

G. Wreford, • "It is a pleasure to have this opportunity of addressing the fathers and sons of the Stratford -Aid Cadet Squadron on the pur- pose and objects of the Air Cadet Movement," G/C Hutton said. "I find this, a personally interesting subject because, my family also includes a young son now ap- proaching the all-important 'teen- age phase, I, as you do, have the responsibility of providing the training and environment necessary to ensure that a young Canadian will develop into a good citizen of Canada. The Air ;Cadets ate a means to that end. "New I am not an expert on the RCAC but I have noticed that many people, even parents of air cadets themselVes, do not understan& the purpose and fun- ction of, the cadet movement. 'There a widespread belief that this organization ie devoted solely to the indoctrination and' training of youth for future ser- vice with the RCAF. This be- lief is erroneous. ' "Let us examine the prime ob- jective of air cadets as set out in, the charter of the Royal Canadian Air Cadet League. It states: 'To -train young men between the ages of 14 and 18 in the basic • principles of good citizenship', towards achievement of this noble purpose many Canadian citizens .are giving up much of their lei- sure time, and often contribute ing financially according to their means. "There are of course secondary objectives, or playing rules as it were, of the air cadets and that is the reason why the RCAF has designed a syllabus of training and supplies the necessary equip- ment to carry out' this syllabus. It has been found that personnel joining the RCAF with air cadet training are generally more suc- cessful in their chosen field than personnel without any previous training. The RCAF welcomes air cadets where, of their own volition, they decide to make the airforce a career. But the RCAF does not regard the cadet move- ment primarily as a recruiting In The Air Force Firefighting Ciaemicels Common, ordinary, everyday baking soda has been tried, test- ed and adopted for a new 1.1,Se by the RCAF. It is, of all things, the latest in fire-fighting enemas Gals, Forced in powdered form through nozzles at very high pressures the sodium bicarbonate forms a barrier to flames and permits rescue operations frent burning aircraft. In 'a test at Uplands airport, near Ottawa, the gcAr soaked an old Hudson bomber fuselage With several hundred gallons of gasoline arid ignited it. When the flames roared high, the fire fighting crew attacked with their sodium bicarbonate equipped truck, In five seconds they had the flames beaten back from the cockpit, which they entered, sim- ulated a rescue, then extinguish- ed the rest of the fire. As far as the RCAF is con- cerned the important factor was the very few seconds required to clear the cabin of flames and ef- feet a rescue. RCAF crews will be trained in the operation of.the Canadian-built crash truck at Aylmer, Ont., and as the new type trucks are built will man: them at RCAF Stations across Canada. The test was viewed by fire- fighting officials from Canada, the United States and Britain. Baking soda, often used as .a remedy for indigestion, is to play an important part in saving the lives of crash victims. agency. "The relationship between the RCAF and the RCAC is. some- times misunderstood. La one re- spect there is no direct connec- tion at, all, in that air cadets are a purely civilian organization controlled and administered by a civilian body known as the Air Cadet League of Canada, "On the other hand, there is a very definite alliance. The RCAF, besides equipping squadrons, pro- vides professional advice through liaison officers in the matter of training, and in some cases the RCAF provides instructors for this training. In addition parent RCAF units provide transport and other services as required for special projects undertaken by individual squadrons. As you know, we at Clinton stand in this relationship to both the Stratford and Goderich squadrons. "The RCAF relationship to the RCAC is that of an auxiliary. The Air Cadets are not an integral part of the RCAF, nor have they ever been. The individual air cadet has no obligation whatever to the air force. When a cadet joins a squadron he takes a pledge to serve his squadron loyally, to endeavour to become a good citi- zen and to honour his Sovereign, his Country and his Flag. This is a pledge of good citizenship and only that. "I have spoken in general terms about air cadets and the RCAF; but what of the benefits and advantages accruing to the individual youth who is a mem- ber of the air cadets? These are many, and they vary from in- struction in elementary air force drill to engineering training at the Canadian Services Colleges. How many of the benefits the in- dividual obtains is largely de- pendent upon his desires, his ability, and his own efforts. "The, general benefit offered to all air cadets is, of course, that of citizenship training. When a youth of 14 or so joins a squad- ron he is issued with a uniform and becomes an integral part of a group all wearing the same uni- form and honoring the same ideals. He learns to regard the rights of others and to discipline himself to achieve this regard. He receives drill instruction de- signed to give him a smart ap- pearance and bearing. At sum- mer camps he learns the import- ant lesson that so many servicd- men have derived from commun- al living, that of consideration for his fellow man. A most import- ant lesson to learn early in life. "Throughout the winter sea- son-on weekly training nights he satisfies the thirst for aviation knowledge whieh has been, and is, almost universal with Canad- ian youth. He learns about meterology, navigation, theory of flight, aircraft and their engines, radio and airmanship which are all integral parts of modern avia- tion, Coupled with this technical training are the lighter activities such as marksmanship training and simulated operational field schemes. This well rounded syllabus of training is carried out under instructors who have the interest of youth at heart. These instructors, who are members of your community, have pledged their leisure evening hours to the youth of your community. ---0 Canada supplies almost the en- tire world's supply of canned lobster, Graduation Diplomas Presented to Three R and CS Courses, W/C B, G..

Wreck- age was scattered for 100 yards. Mrs. Bedard watched the acci- dent from the steps of her farm- house. She told Air Force of- ficers the plane came across her farm at low altitude, climbed up over the barn, then'turned sharp- ly and plunged to the ground. Investigating officials believe the pilot may have been praetic- ing emergency landing on the unused airfield at St. Joseph.
