Array after 15 years. At the efficient RCAF pas- senger terminal at Uplands, Ot- tawa, we had our first glimpse of the sleek Comet that was to whisk us to 1Vbarville, France, in eight and a half hours fly- ing time. Arriving early, we checked through and watched the other passengers, We were a mixed lot, the 30 of us; reminded us of a combined ops scheme—Navy, Army and Air Force, and civil- ians. Armed forces men were going over on rotation, or com- pleting special assignments at National Defence Headquarters In Ottawa. The civvies were go- ing over to teach school at RCAF bases in France, while we were to report on Canada's NATO force for the the Ons tanio Weekly Newspapers As- sociation. We sat opposite Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Harris from North York, near Toronto, who were thril- led to be heading for Mertz.

They are its tending the annual 4-H Achievement Week. Dr. Bruce Stone, left, of the College faculty, is seen explaining the milk meter for measuring production of each cow as she is being milked, left to right: Neil Metheral, Creemore; Robert Fotheringham, 'RR 3, Sea- forth. They were carefully selec- ted by the local Agricultur- al Representative on the bas- is of participation in 4-H Club and community activi- ties, as well as qualities of leadership and personality. The boys spend the week at the College studying the various phases of the 4-II program including the scien- tific ''aspects' of livestock and field crop production. An important feature of the pro- gram was instruction in wat- er safety given in the swim- ming pool of the new gym- nasium at the College. In charge of the group were Bruce McCorquodale, Stratford; associate agricul- tural representative hi Perth County, and. Henry Stanley, assistant agricultural repre- sentative in Wellington County.

THE KEY TO MORE PROFITABLE FARMING The basic principle of sound farming economy is getting the maximum amount of work done at the lowest possible cost. The only way this can be accomplished is with modern farm machinery Modern farm machinery is designed to do more work in less time at lower cost. More horsepower per man allows you to reap full benefits from today's more productive farming methods by keeping labour costs in line. It also assures you of a reliable work force you can swing into action at a moment's notice. Critical farm operations get done without delay and without depending on the availability of high. cost farm labour. Whatever kind of farming you do you can look to Massey-Ferguson for the machines and implements that will do everrjob faster, more efficiently., • and =re economically.

As we waited, we wondered if we were twins, Three men came up to us and chatted ab- out where we could have met. Among them was Major .J. W. P. Bryan returning to London after two weeks at 1\1113./IQ. With Mrs. Bryan and family he lives at South Wimbledon. We compared notes but couldn't decide where our paths had crossed during World War II. He was First Div and we were Third—"The Water Rats".. But we'll remember the next time we meet, for Major Bryan was a wonderful help especially on the trip to England. What an "experience" this trip really was. Breakfast at 17,000 feet at 3.00 a.m., (our time), with the sun shining brightly—two hours at Mar- vine, France, where we drop- ped onto the runway exactly on schedule at 11.10 a.m., French time. A two-hour flight in a Dakota of World War II vintage to the RCAF base at Langer, near Nottingham, Eng- land, was followed by a three- hour train ride to St. Pancreas Station in north London. Pre- arranged Army transport was not in sight, so Major Bryan commandeered a Royal Navy vehicle which wheeled us through the winding, busy st- reets of Old London to Mom- den, in the southwest, where we rejoined our family whose BOAC Britannia had left Dor- val, Montreal, 24 hours ahead of our Comet. A$ our Comet was prepared for the take-off at 8.00. p.m., after we had been seen off by .Capt, Ingram of the Army PRO staff, F/L Dwayne McBride, of Vancouver, announced in his quiet, reassuring manner, that he was in charge and we would be flying at 24,000 feet to Gander, At 9.40 he reported we were over the southern tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, and would be in Gander in an hour. In our first jet flight we marvelled at the majestic cloud forthations several thousand feet below us. All sense of speed was lost after we rose above the clouds. We were amazed at the lack of noise, and only the thrust of the four powerful De Havilland Ghost '50 engines reminded us that we were screaming along at 460 miles an hour! Less than an hour and- a half at the fabulous, modern Gander Airport and we were off again, non-stop to Mar- vile, France. F/L McBride told us we would be over the Irish coast near Shannon in 4.10 hours—And on the dot we spotted the deeply - indented coastline. In ten minutes we were over the sea and headed for Wales, Cloud cover was almost solid all the way, so that we saw only bits of patchwork coun- tryside of Ireland and southern England. We glimpsed the Channel a couple of times, and as we crossed the French coast- line we started the long glide into lVfarville. We arrived with the punctuality of an English express train. After clearing the French Immigration office, we were 'taken to the RCAF No. 1 Fighter . Wing Officers' Mess for lunch. We were met at the ramp by Officer Cadet Alan Smith, of Alliance, Alta., a U of A student chosen to do his summer training overseas. He was 'assigned to show us about and take us on a tour of the cITIESSAXIz3y:ICE, Dal Austin, $eafOrtitt, was the lucky winner .of $700 at the. Li.op,s. Club bingo at Tees- water, August 5.

The couple were presented with a well-filled purse of money. Presentation address was read by Wilmer Dalrymple, and a gift presen- ted by Roy Smale, Hensall. Nelson Howe 'and his orchestra provided music for the dance.

William IVIcSpacklen, Win- throp visited with Bert Aliens on Monday. Wing and the countryside, but, alas, we were scheduled to take off at 1.00 p.m., for Eng- land. However, we'll be back there in a few' weeks. Going back to the flight, after zooming through the clouds above Newfoundland, we settled down for a catnap in the reclining seats. The heavy Hudson Bay blankets felt good in the pressurized cabin, especi- ally when we learned the tem- perature "outdoors" was 55 de- grees below zero! The moon was brilliant as we dozed off about 1.00 a.m. (our time) and when we roused about 3.00 to see 'the steward placing break- fast on our table the' sun had replaced the moon! Breakfast at 3.00 a.m., we couldn't imagine, but when we had tasted the orange juice, bacon and eggs, rolls and cof- fee, oh, man! We realized our last meal had been at noon the day before. And now, ladies, how would you like to serve 39 break- fasts from a kitchen with space for barely one person to turn about? Li a broiler about one, quartet' the size of a normal oven the bacon wat prepared, the eggs were cooked over a hot plate about nine inches square, and 'hot waiter for the coffee came from a small broil- er. With that equipment two Men served 39 breakfasts in an hour and a half. We must thank the very capable RCAF crew who gave us a pleasant, swift introduc- -.lion to the jet age: F/L K, McBride, Captain; F/L J. E. Sled, 1st Officer: P/L L.
