on. the 5th chapter of Mark in
which the story is told of Christ
casting out the legion of devils
from the Gadarene .man and de-
livering them into the swine.
When the swineherds had gone
to the city and told the story, the
people came and saw the man and
also the swine dead in the sea.
Seeing the loss of their property,
they asked Jesus to depart out
of their coast, choosing the safety
of their swine rather than to have

To Receive Award
For Gallant Action
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth
has approved the award of the
George Medal to a Netherland im-
migrant farmer who is credited
with saving the lives of two RCAF
Flight Cadets from the tangled
wreckage of their burning plane.
The award, ivhich is only grant-
ed for acts of great bravery, will
be presented to Wilhelm. Koele,
Exeter, Ontario, He received the
Netherlands Civil Award, compar-
able to the George Medal, last
January in recognition of his
brave deed.
The RCAF Expeditor aircraft
from the Air Force Flying Train-
ing School at Centralia, Ont.,
crashed on Mr, Koele's farm and
burst into flames. Two men were
trapped inside the wreckage.
Without regard for his own saf-
eV, Mr. Koele pulled the flyers
from the wreckage and an RCAF
investigation later disclosed that
the two men would have died if
it had not been for the actions of
Mr. Koele.
Arrangements for the . presenta-
tion of the George Medal to Mr,
Koele will be announced at a later
date.

A special ceremonial parade
was held at RCAF Station, Clin-
ton, Tuesday afternoon. It has
been the practice of the station
to have a brief graduation cere-
mony for the ground crew courses
at the completion of their train-
ing here. This is not because
;the ground crew graduations are
thought any less important than
those of aircrew and ground crew
officers, who receive their
"wings" or diplomas at a cere-
monial parade. Since there are
ground crew graduations each
week, the time involved in a
ceremonial parade for, one
would cut too deeply into the
training schedule of the school.
However, in conjunction with
the parade on Tuesday, Group
Captain, E. A. D. Hutton, CD,
emiirifandiag' Officer ofetheeSta--
tion, installed a commemorative
plaque on the Radar and Com-
munications Headquarters Build-
ing, which is under construction.
This building when completed, in
the summer of 1953, will add
greatly to the training facilities,
and enable Station Clinton to
train a much greater number of
airmen and airwomen for the de-
fence of our country.
The Commanding Officer, at
the graduation ceremony, em-
phasized the importance of team-
work in the RCAF, saying that
"we will. not complete the over-
all Air Force mission successfully
unless each one of us pulls his
or her weight."
Guests at the Station included
Mr, A. Y. McLean, M.P. for
Huron-Perth, and Mr. Tom Pryde,
M.L:A. for Huron, both of whom
addressed the Station personnel
and guests at the installation
ceremony.

Fall Fair
Domestic
Science
Features
Hayfield Fall Fair opened yest-
erday as• expert judges made their
carefhl decisions and awarded
prizes for some of the best dis-
plays of handwork, garden pro-
duce, etc., ever to be shown in
Huron County.
Entries in the classes for school
displays were numerous. There
was a good number of glass paint-
ings, some of which showed ex-
ceptional originality in execution.
There were two models of Ind-
ian villages constructed by dif-
ferent schools; one of them feat-
ured a natural looking lake, sur-
rounded by evergreen forest; the
other featured very well con-
structed totem poles, and wig-
wams made of burlap sacking.
The special class for apple dis-
plays, which of necessity included
six by-products of the apple,
gained considerable attention.
Most of the exhibitors had many
more than the required six by-
products, and they showed that
a good deal of thought went in-
to their arrangement.
The domestic science classes
for adults, including all sorts of
baking, school lunch packing,
and appetizing trays for sick folk
received many entries.
Judging of all indoor classes
was complete by six o'clock yest-
erday evening, and entries for
out-door classes were expected
on the Fair grounds early this
morning.
We expect to have a complete
list of prize awards for publica-
tion next week.
