Sounds unbelievable but true - APPOINTED ZON MANAGER VIC RINNIN Investors Syndicate of Can- ada, Limited, announces the appointment of William Vic- tor Dinnin, B.A., as Zone Man- ager for this area. A graduate of the University of Western Ontario, Mr. Dinnin has served as principal of Zurich Public School for several years. In addition to its Instalment Savings Contracts, Investors Syndicate of Canada offers the shares of its affiliate, Invest- orS Mutual of Canada, Limited. Mr. Dinnin may be reached by telephone at Zurich 168. Three hundred girls 'who swap- ped desks, soda-fountains and ev- en the stage for air force careers' are stationed at FcCAF Station, Clinton. The only radar and communica- tion school in the air force, this 260-acre community turns out air- women trained to plot the move- ments of hostile planes or to di- rect the interception of friendly fighters. "These' girls are proving a real asset on. RCAF stations," said PO Helen Turner of Edmonton, assis- tant to the chief administration officer. W. R. Edwards said that in some cases they compete with the men. "We even make mechanics of some," he said. "Communications girls, for instance, learn to check operation of transmitters, receiv- ers and teletype machines. 0 Electronics Section's First Indoor Party Anyone wondering why the air- men's mess annex was "Jumping" last Saturday night are hereby informed that it was merely the Electronic's Section holding its first (and 'we hope not the last) party and dance of the season. After three successful outdoor parties during the summer, the weather forced us indoors, and, judging by the crowd, there are fewer nature boys than there are indoor athletes. Perhaps the large turnout was due to the sub- stantial increase in the number of section personnel during the past two months, At any rate, every- one seemed to be having a good time, and being indoors didn't seem to impair anyone's appetite as large portions of southern fried chicken and french fries, complete with all the trimmings were consumed at lunch time. Our thanks to the mess hall staff for their fine effort and co-operation. Apart from the members of the section staff, numerous guests at- tended. They included Group Cap- tain and Mrs. E. A, D. Hutton, Wing Commander and Mrs, B. G. Miller, Squadron •Leader and Mrs. T. R. N. Duff, Squadron Leader G. J. Bury and Flight Lieutenant and Mrs. P.. E. Fletcher. 0 70 Ladies Attend RCAF CWL Bingo The Catholic Women's League of RCAF Station, Clinton, held a bingo in A,V.M. Hugh Campbell Public School, on Monday evening, October 17.

This is Canada's biggest, most spectacular, one-day sports spree, where amid a riot of color and white 10-gallon hats, east meets west, perhaps in snow, perhaps in mud, perhaps on a Clear, fast greenish field. It is our grestest sports spectacle, it is also the meeting of two contrasting types of folks, the jovial, friendly, breezy westerners, the more conservative easterners, All this we admit, the glory and the color of it all. But you'll pardon us if we again go on record as stating that we don't believe this great one-day show is a fair break for the customers, either east or west. This is a' remark that probably will get us' ostracized from better social circles in fair Toronto, a city in which we have, hitherto, been re- ceived with warmth and hospitality. But even at the risk of suffering the cold shoulders and icy disdain of Bay, Bloor, College and other centres, we still insist that the football customers, the humble gents who make the whole thing possible, aren't getting a fair break. We're thinking of the good sports folk of Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg, who have dug generously and deeply into their jeans when deficits faced their beloved clubs, fans who paid their way into every game, fans without whose support none of the teams toudl exist, And the same applies to Ottawa, Montreal and Hamilton, though in lesser degree, because these cities are within easy reach of Toronto, for those who have plane, bus or train fare, and can get a ticket. We think this series should be home-and-home games, at least, in the cities of the two champion teams. Perhaps this wouldn't draw so much money as the one-day show in Toronto, because none of the other cities have anything approaching the capacity of the huge Toronto Varsity stad- ium, excepting possibly Montreal, where the games are played in the baseball park, on a bob-tailed field, But, of course, if money is the fundamental consideration, our argument is all wrong. We were figuring, merely from the sporting angle for a sort of grand finale in which the customers, instead of being deprived of the finale of the big drama, would get a chance to see the thing he had helped create, like the Stanley Cup, or world's baseball series. These do pretty well financially, at that. Your comments and svggesnons forth,: column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yong. St., Tereete.

Snlider, DFC, in an arldreSs to "the Flight Cadets of RCAF Sta- tion, Clinton, Ontario, on Fri- day evening, October 24.

Of its 2,000 graduates, ' 261 ex-cadets have given G. their lives in the two world wars. Previous to 1948, RMC had provided officers for the Canadian Army, but has since operated on a tri-service basis. At ;the preS- •ent time the approximate ratio of each service is forty five per- :cent Army, thirty five percent Air Force and twenty percent Navy. Squadron Leader Snider ex- plained that any Canadian, or British subject having senior ma- -triculation, between the ages of '17 and 21. may apply on a cam- ' petitive basis.

All cadets must participate in a box- ing tournament during their first year. The hockey game with West Point and the College Regatta are' big events of the year. Flight Cadet J, A.

A. Ev- erard, of Timmins, Ontario. The Honorable Brooke Claxton, Minister of National. Defence en• dorsed the new publication in a front page statement in the first edition: "Heartiest congratulations to RCAF Station Summereide, on es- tablishing your station publicat- ion. Publications like these can have a very high value in telling all members of your station what everyone is doing, thereby adding to the interest of service person- nel (and sometimes more impor- tant, to their wives and children) in the •work and life of the ser- Besides receiving his Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University of Toronto, FL M. A. Everard also embarked on a course of studies leading to an M.A, in Ed- ucational Theory. He will be well remembered in his home town of Timmins, Ontario, where he` was employed as a sports reporter on the Timmins Daily Times, Assisting P/L Everard in the new publication is associate ed- itor Pilot Officer Kelly Cox. The first ground defence man- oeuvres to be held in this country were held recently at RCAF Stat- ion North Bay. The new type of manoeuvres marked the RCAF's latest measure to defend local airstrips without the benefit of army support. North Bay ground crews fought off the "enemy" force made up of the Algonquin Reserve Regiment and Army paratroopers, Six hundred airmen beat off the attack with the help of air support, although the attacking force did gain control of the sec- ondary targets of fuel tanks and water supplies. Two army saboteurs; dressed as plumbers and with their kits full of high explosives, got on to the airport but were caught by the Air Force defenders, CF-100 jets ,together with T-33 trainers strafed the attack- ing 175-man force, while low-fly- ing Mitchell bombers "wrecked" army communications lines. When 60 RCAF Sabre jets ar- rived safely in France recently 'a new page in Canadian aviation history was written. For the Air Force, Leapfrog II as the movement was called, es- tablished a number of firsts. The Sabres making the flight to Gros Tenquin, near Metz, were the lar- gest number of aircraft ever sent by Canada for duty in Europe, the first to cross the Atlantic as a Wing, and, when they arrived in France, the first operational air units to serve on the Contin- ent under Canada's agreement to supply a 12-squadron air division to NATO. Before leaving Canada, mem- bers of the squadron were addres- sed by the Honorable Brooke Claxton, Minister of National De- fence, at Uplands Airport, near Ottawa. Mr. Claxton called the affair a great occasion. "This is the largest parade of let aircraft to be held in Canada in war or in peace," Mr. Claxton said. "Indeed this is the first time that three fighter squadrons, equipped, trained and ready for action, have been brought to- gether in this country." Eouipped with one of the fin- est fighter aircraft in the world, the Canadian squadrons have now taken their place with the NATO forces in Europe.
