Second Comet Jet
Dee at Uplands
Monday, June 15
The second British -built Coin -
et jet airliner slated for the RC-
AF Air Transport Command is
expected to arrive at Uplands
airport near Ottawa on, June 15,
Air Force Headquarters announ-
ced recently..
The two Comets—the first was
delivered on May 29—will be us-
ed by the Air Force for high-
speed movement of personnel and
equipment, and to provide fac-
ilities for exercising Canada's air
,defence against simulated high -
Speed enemy bomber attacks.
The jet transports will make
history for the RCAF. They are
the first of their type to be flown
in North America and the first
to be used by any allied air force
in the world.
More than 60 officers and men
have been trained on the new air-
craft in England since last fall.
Wing Commander Morrison, Win-
nipeg, commanding officer of
412 Squadron, Rockcliffe, who
was aboard the first Comet when
it arrived in Ottawa, said the
training had been the best the
men could possibly receive.
He lauded .the groundcr eve
personnel for their efficiency in
keeping aircraft in top condition
during the training period in
England and said the men would
form a nucleus for training ad-
ditional personnel in Canada.

F/C Sports Enthusiasts
Train Eagerly For
Baseball and Track
The sports field at RCAF Stat-
ion Clinton, is bustling with ac-
tivity as the summer sports pro-
gram gets underway. The flight
cadets of the Air Radio Officer
School are enthusiastically lim-
bering up in the crisp spring air.
Many young hopefuls will be
trying out for a place on the
station baseball team, while
others will be content to play in-
ter -section sports.
The outdoor sports program is
a continuation of the winter sea-
son activities. This physical
training schedule is designed to
keep the aircrew students hi top
physical shape, to perform ef-
ficiently their duties as Radio
Officers on the aircrew team.
The flight cadets participate in
a variety, of sports. Such act-
ivities as softball, and, volleyball
are played in inter -section com-
petitions. If a flight cadet's ac-
ademic standing is satisfactory
and he is a good baseball player,
he is permitted to take an active
part on the station team. This
station team is entered in the
district league, and the team
plays against ball clubs from the
various towns throughout Huron
County.
As the weather gets warmer
the station swimming pool be-
comes a centre of recreation.
Flight cadets who do not know
how to swim are given instruc-
tion, and outstanding swimmers
take part in inter -station swim-
ming meets.
One of the greatest sports ev-
ents of the summer season, is
the annual field and track meet
which takes place at different
RCAF Stations • in Training' Com-
mand. Each year, flight cadet
organization throughout Train-
ing Command send, teams to this
competition. This year the Cad-
et Officer Commanding is de-
termined that the flight cadets
of the Air Radio Officer School,
Clinton, will bring home the
trophies.
Such activities offer worth-
while diversion for these men,
who are undergoing intensive
training. They work hard and
they play hard aiming for that
goal which is graduation day and
wings parade.

Farewell Party Held
For Sgt. "Pixie" Manns
A very enjoyable party was
held last Wednesday evening in
the Sergeants' Mess. The reas-
on for this impromptu affair was
to say "Au revoir" to one of
our better Mess members, in the
person of Sergeant A. D. Manns,
known to her friends as "Pixie".
Pixie is getting married, and is
leaving for Galt on June 5. The
lucky man is Frank A. Willson,
Vancouver, I3.C.
Pixie was in the RCAF (WD)
during the Second World War for
a period of three years, during
Which she served at a number of
units in Canada. On re -enlist-
ment she spent a short time at
the Manning Depot at St. Johns,
Que„ and was posted to No, 1
R&CS on June 6, 1952, for a
Fighter Control Operator's cour-
se. On graduating from this
course, she was posted to staff,.
and . kept here as an instructor,
and has, become very well liked
by all her fellow members of the
Mess, She is one of two air-
women sergeants in our midst,
and her smiling face will be mis-
sed by all ' the members of the
mess. ' The other airwoman ser-
geant is Sgt. I. Gibb, who has
dust returned from leave in
Scotland. '
During the course of the ev-
ening, F/S Mel Fetch, as chair-
man of the entertainment com-
mittee, presented Pixie with a
silver cocktail service, on behalf
of the boys in the mess. She re:-
pied with a very appropriate
speech of appreciation. Music
for dancing was sripplied by
the "Rhythm Rast•als," F/S Ed-
die Hatch, F/S George Mills,
WO2 Tommy Lamont and Mrs,
Helen Bisback, Clinton. Lonnie
Mathews called for square dan-
cing.

guests were G/C H. C. Ash-
downe MBE, W/C B. G. Miller,
S/L G. J. Bury, S/L C. J. Ir-
win, F/L N'. K. 'x oung, F/L C.
H. Jensen.
All members of the Sergeants'
Mess join in saying "Au Revoir"
to Pixie and wishing her God-
speed in her new vocation as a
housewife. Mr. Wilison's gain is
our loss.

Every right-thinking person is In favor of
'better international relations, as a means of
extricating the world from the sloughs of hot
and cold wars, hate, bitterness, intolerance
and all such festerings upon our lives.
But it's like the attitude towards the
weather. Everybody talks about ; it, mighty
.few do anything about it. In fact, the only
gentleman we know, whose interest in improved international
relations is so keen and sincere, that he's willing, every year,
to spend a small fortune to promote such good feeling, is John
Jay Hopkins, who devised, sponsors, and finances two of the
greatest international golf events staged in Canada — the
Canada Cup invitation twosomes, dated this year in its in-
augural to coincide with Coronaton Week, and the Canada -
United States P.G.A. matches, immediately afterwards.
John Jay Hopkins is 60 years old, and 18 -handicap player,
president and chairman of the board of General Dynamics.
His hobby isn't golf, but he believes the broad avenue of sport
is one along which the nations might march in peace and
harmony to better relations, and better relations are his hobby.
Hobbies can run into money, and frequently do, particu-
larly if you happen to be importing golfers from France, Ger-
many, South Africa, Australia and other points at around
$4,000, per team of two. Last year, when John Jay Hopkins
staged the first international P.G.A. matches, he under -wrote
the venture which brought two teams of six golfers each from
as far away as South Africa to Montreal, paid the transporta-
tion, living expenses, and a. fee to every participant. Wheq
the matches were finished, there was a deficit of almost
$50,000, which Mr. Hopkins cheerfully paid. "So long," he
remarked, "as everybody was happy, it was well worth it."
This year, his Canada Cup matches, a new addition which
has attracted twosomes representing eight different nations,
has its inaugural on Coronation Day, June 2. The entrants
include two professional players from Germany. So rapidly
did the fame of the international spread, that Argentina, Aust-
ralia, England, France, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, and.
of course, Canada and the United States made entries for the
Canada Cup. From all indications this event will become one
of the world's outstanding golf events, expensive, but all dedi-
cated to the belief of John Jay Hopkins that they will foster
a better understanding among the nations.
The Canada Cup itself will weigh 55 pounds. It is made
of solid silver and is so large that part of it had to be im-
ported from the U.S. It is 27 inches in diameter, 22 inches
deep and is based on Brazilian onyx. It cost $5,000, or about
100 tunes as much as the Stanley Cup. Mr. Hopkins pays for
that, too.
All of which is sport at work, in the best interests of
world harmony. At least, one man's projection of the idea.
