In 1940 the Finns had, with great pride, accepted the honor of being host to the Olympic scheduled for that time and planned accordingly, But then came the Russian Invasion and World War II, re- sulting in cancellation of the contests and tremendous finan- cial losses. After hostilities had ceased, Finland was unable to accommodate the 1948 games, which took place in. England. The work and outlay has been tremendous. For instance the Olympic Stadium, built at enormous cost, had accom- modation for 70,000 spectators. Nearby was built another stadium with a heated outdoor swimming pool for practice purposes. A new pool, begun in, 1939, was blasted out of bedrock in a pine forest, and front sheer wilderness became the scene of aquatic contests with facilities to seat 10,000 onlookers. These are only a few examples of the modern playing fields and arenas sports-minded Finland built for the various matches. They spared nothing to achieve perfection for what proved . to be the most -sensational, of all Games. With the thousands of visitors, Finland faced a real hous- ing problem, But Helsinki solved this poser. Th'e Olympic Village for men -consisted of fourteen units patterned -after modern apartment houses. The main section contained 1,181 rooms and two others had 212 and 277 compartments. This was for the athletes. And every private home was hospit- ably thrown open to non-competing visitors. Food presented another problem, but arrangements were made to increase imports from neighboring countries. Dutch producers and businessmen have offered fifty tons of fresh fruit for contestants, and Finnish vessels transported the fruit from the Netherlands. And the food in general, everybody agrees, was wonderful. There were hundreds of guides and interpreters to ac- commodate visitors. The press relations were perfect, There wasn't a flaw in the arrangements for the greatest of all Olympics, staged by the smallest nation which has in years handled this mighty chore. Finland deserves a wreath of wild olives, or a gold medal, or Whatever it is Olynipic champions receive. • Canadian National how offers an attractive Gift • Certificate covering train 'travel anywhere . „te any rail • destination lot any amount you wish , ort„sale at all Canaclion National ticket offices.

In, a recent air show or- ganized for the benefit ief the "SSAFA" at Leeds, Flight Lieut- enant Dean Kelly of Peterborough, and Flying Officer Don Hanson of Montreal and Ottawa, put their Sabres through a, variety of paces in the first public display in- this country of the Korean-famed F-86. Their display was lauded in York- shire papers, The authoritative aviation magazine "Flight" called the Sabre show a highlight of the afternoon, as a • Sabre, flown by FL Kelly literally boomed through the sonic barrier, diving from 40,000 to 20,000 feet at faster than the, speed of seund. When the Sabre was pulled out of the dive, Flight reports "a very noticeable puff of condensation, followed in a few seconds by a loud explosion." After this dramatic introduction FL Kelly put en a very polished display of aerobatics terminating in an amazingly slow,* fly-past across the aerodrome With flaps and speed brakes extended. e , Ground Explosion The Shock wave which accom-, panies an aircraft flying at sonic or supersonic speeds can be made to break away from the aircraft flight path if the plane is pulled abruptly out of its line of flight, When a pilot pulls out of a sonic dive in a Sabre the shock wave which has been produced follows in the line of dive 'and strikes the earth, with a loud explosive noise. The condensation puff seems to format or below the-point of pull out. By increasing the rate of pull out of the dive the explosive effect is increased. Since the boom can be produced with a Sabre only in a dive with full pow- er the pilot dives his aircraft at or near the vertical. He can aim the resulting ground explosion with his guesight. • "ITS STILL BETTER!" AUGUST 4th: G. E.

From muddy airfields and cold "ready rooms" tired pilots roared off to meet overwhelming swarms •lof nitler's Luftwaffe that Were trying to crack the defences of Great Britain in preparation, for an invasion of the the island. The heroic defence carried out during those dark days of Sept- , ember 1.940 and the resultant ef- fect on, the enemy, will remain one of the outstanding turning 'points in the history -of human <conflict. Thousands of • Canadians-=and new Canadians from Great Brit- ain--will recall, those anxious days •on Sunday, September 21, when -the RCAF will hold services ;across the country to commemor- ate the Battle of Britain. It was not a. battle easily won, either by the fighter pilots of En- gland or those of Canada and other countries of the common- ' wealth. The Battle of Britain marked the RCAF's baptism under fire, :as in August, 1940, a squadron of the RCAF for the first time took to the skies against the enemy, won its first victories and suffer!, ed its first casualties. Forty- seven Canadian officers and men gave their lives in that battle. On Battle of Britain Sunday, Canada will join with the RCAF and the Royal Air Force in mem- ory of those few men who fought and died to save the world from the power that was threatening Christian civilization- The day will be marked by church parades and special ser- vice at RCAF units across Canada. Members of 'the RCAF Reserve and Air Cadet Squadrons will join with the Regular Air Force for the Services. Women members of the RCAF will also take part in commemorating the event. September 15 is generally ac- cepted as the end of the critical period in the Battle of Britain, as on that date enemy losses in attacks on London rose to a peak forcing a change in tactics by the Germans. The date of the battle is cel- ebrated in Canada on the first Sunday after September 15. 0 The Toronto Coliseum, home of the annual Royal Winter Fair, covers 26 acres.
