Cater to Plowmen Phyllis Durst, Clinton; Leone Lamb, Goderich; Mary Durst, Clinton, did a good deed for competitors and audience as well, at the annual Huron County Junior Farmer Plowing Match, when, as members of the Junior Institute, they turned out to supply hot-dogs and other refreshments.

The ends of the building are closed in against the cold bite of winter weather. Arid when November n comes next Tuesday, and everyone honours Canada's fallen war- dead in the annual memorial and cenotaph services are corn pleted on Main Street, there will be a parade to the new Legion Hall. The cornerstone of the new building will be of- ficially laid in an impressive ceremony, and this mouse suggests that all of you make an effort to be present. Fol- lowing the laying of the stone you will be able to go through the building, and see just what the fellows have been doing down there every night since last May. E As you have heard me mention before, the Men in the back shop have been• doing a bit of moving lately, and through the back door, a great deal of material, machines, and gadgets have come to take up space in the shop. Apparently the Men do things with them, for every now and then we hear the• motor's start to go, and before long there is a very neat pile of paper, of some colour or other, in a stated size, with printing neatly completed, ready for someone to come and get it. We've never been able to investigate these machines too closely when they're going, because of the noise. And, of course the fellows keep several old brooms placed strategically about the shop for a sortie of one kind or another—and the sortie is generally directed toward us, personally. E 2 2 We sneaked a ride to the Huron Presbytery Young People's Fall Rally on Monday evening, and among the lovely songs the young folk sang, in the middle of the sing-song we were forced to listen to this: "Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you carry them over your shoulder, Like a Continental soldier? Do your ears hang low? What? But we're sure that's what this mouse's ears heard. We know it sounds rather queer, but we're sure we could not have been mistaken. Can. yoe suggest what we did hear, if we didn't hear that? Because we certainly would not wish to report a thing erroneously, oh, dear no, 0 0 '0 We did get a free taste of the turkey the ladies served at the banquet for the young folk, and truly, it was delic- ious. We might even get int- erested in turkey for a year round diet, sort ,of interspers- ed with cheese when the go- ing got a little hard, back about the wish-bone. Some- how the better parts of a bird always get eaten before a mouse's turn comes, and we can say for certain, that the wish-bone ., is the toughest • bone a bird has. Think of the danger. When you're gnawing at one arm of the bone, the other half is apt to give you a vicious swipe across the top of the head. CI E 2 We had opportunity the •other evening to wander up to the Le- gion Hall, where the young, middle-aged, and older legion- naires of Clinton and district have been spending their spare time. It's all right ladies. Your hus- bands have been where they said they were. There must have been times all summer when they said they'd been driving nails at the hall all evening, and you must have wondered if such were really the case. But the greater percent of those reports' must have had some truth in them for the build- ing has certainly progressed at a great rate. And the work being done without pay to the workers, certainly shows what can be ac- complished by full-hearted co-op- eration. E3 Now, we hear that perhaps some legionnaires did a little more than others when it there is a veritable' army of cats. The lady of the house always feeds them swiftly and then re- treats just as swiftly as the horde of cats rushes toward the feed dishes. At any rate they are not satisfied with the bounty of the housewife, but spend the rest of their time stalking mice. There are quite a few orchards in the vicinity, which, with long uncut grass, make a perfect home for many mice. And these cats, im- portunate animals, seem to have made a definite arrangement be- tween themselves concerning the area which they will cover. Daily they go forth and comb their area carefully for the unwary mouse. 0 0 0 Rarely does one cat en- croach upon the territory of another. Probably this action would be against the constitu- tion of their Union and the of- fender would be dealt with severely at the next meeting. Someday we're thinking it would be fun to go out there and entice one of those cats out of his own back yard, so to speak, and get him in trouble with his Union. It would be great fun to see him catapulted clear into, the next county. Ha ha ha. 1:3 0 2 Did we ever mention to you the name of our Greataunt Hezek- iah? Well, just in case we didn't, she lives in Detroit, Michigan, and we've never had occasion to talk with her personally. However, she writes regularly, and one time, we nipped across the street and saw her on television, She'd been caught by the dog-catcher and spent the night in the pound. Now isn't that a sample of the type of mistake a Human can make? However, she is, rather a big mouse, and there possibly was some resemblance between her and a small Chilhuahua. EE 0 0 However, to get on with the story, Greataunt has been in such a todo concerning the election in the United States that lately we hadn't been hearing from her often. ghe'd gotten on some sort. of pub- licity campaign for Ike. When a prospective voter was just beginning to say "I like Adlai", greataunt would ap- proach the pant cuff of said voter, and at the psycholog- ical moment, scurry round his foot, so that the word "Adlai" became "I-i-i-i-ke!" and the gentleman in question would go rushing down the. street. Now perhaps this appears a small thing in the year of a presidential e 1 e c t i o n, but when you get many small mice doing the same thing, RCAF Station, Clinton Accounts Section An Efficient Group (Continued from Page One) tinuous service in the accounts trade. He enlisted as an airman in 1940 and was commissioned from the rank of Warrant Officer in 1951. As an NCO he held numerous accounts positions commensurate with ranks and prior to coming to Clinton he was Warrant Officer in charge of the accounts section at Station Camp Borden. His right hand man at Clinton is Sgt. Joe Mc- Guire, Owen Sound, the NCO in charge of pay. F/O Hector Duprey F/O Hector "Hec" Duprey, Westville, N.S., is the officer re- sponsible to the SAO for the ac- counting of all Non Public Funds. His experience in service ac- counting began when. he enlisted as an airman in the RCAF in 1943. After the end of World War II he obtained his B.A., bachelor of Commerce and Mast- ers degree in economics at St. Francis Xavier University, An- tigonish, N.S. He re-enlisted in the RCAF in 1951 and lives with his wife and 'family in Adasteel Park. R. Roy Fitzsimons Directly responsible to F/O Duprey is Mr. Roy Fitzsimons, who is Civilian Supervisor of Non Public Funds. Mr. Fitzsimons is a native of Clinton, is married and has three children. He is a graduate of the Clinton Public School and Collegiate and, with the exception of four wartime years with the Canadian Provost Corps, has always. resided in Clinton. In May, 1946, he. ac- cepted employment with the Sta- ton's Accounts section and in July of this year received his permanent Civil Service appoint- nient to the supervisory clerical position he now holds. Active in numerous organizations both on the Station and in Clinton, Mr. Fitzsimons is president of the Clinton RCAF Association of , . and people begin rushing to and fro shouting "I-i-i-ke!" the mass psychology of the thing does a great deal. When we heard yesterday morning that Mr. Eisenhower had been elected, we said, "There, Greataunt Hezekiah has done it again." (Don't you laugh, either. What do you know but what it's true?) Civil Service and Prevailing Rate Employees which is affiliated with the Civil Service Federa- tion of Canada, an associate member • of the Sergeants' Mess, and a member of the executive of Clinton Branch No. 140, Can- adian Legion. Civilian Employees The other civilian employees of the Accounts Section are Mr. Ray Vincent, Clinton; Miss Mary Mc- Millan, R.R. 1, Goderich; and Miss Grace Holmes, Wingham. Mr. Vincent, formerly of Blyth, now lives in Clinton. He is mar- ried and a veteran of the RCAF. He has been employed in the Ac- counts Section since January 1951, and is at present working with the Non Public Funds de- partment. Miss MbMillan, daughter of Mrs. Jack McMillan, R. R. 1, Goderich, is a graduate of Gode- !rich Business College and has been employed in clerical duties at the Accounts Section for the past six years. Miss Grace Holmes, daughter cf Mr. and Mrs. Bert Holmes, R.R. 2, Wingham, graduated from' Wingham High School. She is responsible to the Pay Accounts Officer for the civilian payroll at Station Clinton. Approximately 225 civilians are employed at the Station and Miss Holmes calcul- ates wages, distributes cheques and posts Unemployment Insur- ance for these personnel. Efficiency Stressed The scope of the Accounts trade in the RCAF is so broad that years of training is neces- sary before an NCO or Officer becomes proficient in all aspects of Pay Accounts, Supply Ac- counts and Non Public Funds. Every detail must be exact, -and in Service accounting, the de- teis are almost innumerable. For example, all service personnel are subject to income tax, and the required deduction are made in the Accounts SF eon. Sgt. Larry Frill, Minburn, Alta., is the ex- pert in this field. Seciandly, the mobility of the RCAF necessit- ates the raising of many Travel- ling and Genera]. Allowance Claims which, at Clinton, are audited by Sgt. Murray Plunket, Toronto, before payment is auth- orized, Officers and airmen at Station Clinton who have had long ser- vice experience agree that the efficiency of Clinton's Accounts Section is unsurpassed anywhere in the service. The Accounts Section exemplifies the spirit of co-operation between service and civilian employees which is typ- ical of the teamwork in the RCAF.

Seaforth Curling Association held Wednesday evening in the Sea- forth Arena, the election of of- ficers for the season 1952-53 was held, Dr, Harry McIntyre, 'Hugh R, Hawkins and Rev. D, J.

R.R. 3, Clinton, president, in charge. A discussion was held pn the merits of the new humane trap and it was noted that trappers' experience found that it was not suitable for extensive use, E, R. Meadows, Hespeler, of the Department of Lands and Forests, Huron District, addressed the meeting on trapping area chang- es. He stated that all traps must be marked before a trapper will be issued a license and he stres- sed the value to the trappers of the fur return, C. J.

Now we promised our readers last week that we were finished with cats, and would not mention them for a good long time to come. But we are unable to rest easy until this latest knowledge has been made public. 2 2 It seems that, on the farm where this cousin of mine lives, 11-11.-•-•-•-•-•-••-•-•-•-•-.11-•-•-•-•-•-•.5-4,-0-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-4-40-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-41-5-•-•4-40-.
