"Ham Club" Begins Coast -to -Coast
Radio Calls With Free Offer
"Hello CQ, this is VE3BER
calling." The foregoing, heard from
the "Ham Club" at the RCAF
Station considerably in the past
years, but seldom during the last
year or so, will soon be heard
again as the club swings into its
winter program. The call sign
VE3BER was once one of the most
familiar calls heard in the amat-
eur radio bands, but since the
Air Force Amateur Radio System
took a back seat in favour of Civ-
ilian Defence, it has only been
heard for a short time during the
annual American Radio League
Field Day. (Incidentally, the
RCAF Clinton Club stood second
in Canada in their competitive
class).
At the last meeting of the club,
an election of officers was held
and Sgt. 0, E. (Orv) Johnson,
VE3DNI, was elected president
and LAC J, J. (Rip) Ripley, sec-
retary.
To commence fall activities, the
club is offering to send personal
messages free of charge to all
parts of Canada and the United
State through the amateur oper-
ated traffic nets. This is present-
ly done from the home stations
of the members, but as the club
is located in new quarters, it is
anticipated that theywill
p get their
newly -built transmitter into op-
eration and will send these mes-
sages directly from club head-
quarters.
The amateur radio hobby is a
scientific hobby, a means of gain-
ing personal skill in the art of
electronics and communications
and at the same time affords one
the opportunity of communicating

with others engaged in the same
hobby, There are in the neigh-
borhood of 150,000 hams all inter-
ested in pursuing the same hobby
for pleasure and without pecuniary
interest, They stand ready to ren-
der assistance through their em-
ergency corps, during times of
disaster --- floods, tornados, bliz-
zards — co-operating through the
Red Cross Organization.
When not participating in the
former, the ham serves through
the development of radio appar-
atus, techniques and the handling
of messages without charge. The
RCAF Clinton Amateur Radio
Club is proud to be a•'part of the
world-wide brotherhood of "Hams"
and anticipates that the call
VE3BER and the name of Clinton
again will be heard in all parts of
Canada and the United States, as
well as in all parts of the globe.

RCAF Rockcliffe
All Girl Revue
Airwomen of RCAF Station
Rockcliffe near Ottawa staged an
all -girl revue in the station school
auditorium this week.
As expected the show was a
huge success. The cast, made up
of girls from cities and towns a-
cross Canada and now serving in
the RCAF, played to a capacity
crowd of civilians and service per-
sonnel from the Ottawa area.
Titled "On The Road" this mus-
ical comedy presentation received
the critics' plaudits. It was poin-
ted out by those in charge of the
show that none of the girls who
participated in the show had pro-
fessional background. Hard work
and enthusiasm overcame many
obstacles and the packed house
gave loud tribute to the girls.

Former Residents
Receive Medals
Of Farm Produce
The Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics is again distributing to farm-
ers throughout Canada the forms
for the annual December 1 survey
of livestock, crops and farm lab-
our. Each farmer has received
the green coloured form in use
this year. Realizing the import-
ance of an accurate measurement
of agricultural resources and pro-
duction each farmer should make
a special effort to return his com-
pleted schedule without delay. In
doing so, he will perform a service
useful to agriculture and to those
organizations and agencies serv-
ing agriculture.
Each form in itself is strictly
confidential, has no connection
with taxation and is used to ob-
tain group totals and averages for
making estimates. In this way
each schedule helps to form the
picture of agricultural conditions.
The resulting statistics are widely
used by farm organizations, gov-
ernment service branches and oth-
er interested agencies. They also
form the basis for international
comparisons and analysis so essen-
tial to world trading in agricul-
tural products. Every schedule
is important whether it covers
large or small operations and giv-
es each farmer the opportunity
to participate in providing most
useful information.
The Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics and the Departments of Agri-
culture in all provinces solicit the
fullest co-operation of farmers in
this survey.
Increase Hog Profits by
Saving Time
Time required to feed a hog from birth to
market weight—
(a) On grain alone 8 to 10 months
(1» On, grain plus SHUR-GAIN
5 to 6 months
Do you know it takes an average of one hour chore
time per month to look after one hog? By saving three
month's feeding time, you save 30 hours on a litter of
ten hogs. It soon adds up.
A SHUR-GAIN hog feeding program will not only save
you labour but also lower the amotint of feed required.
Prove to yourself that SHUR-GAIN feeds have greater
