A battleship pose is caught in this photograph of a destroyer escort as she
buries her bow in a long Atlantic swell. The ship is HMCS St. Croix, one of
seven Restigouche class destroyer escorts comprising the Fifth Canadian Escort
Squadron. Although the photograph was taken at an earlier date, it reflects the
scene now occurring as ships of the squadron join in WINTEX 61, a series of
exercises involving most of the ships of the Atlantic Command, more than 5,000
officers and men, and anti-submarine aircraft of the RCN and RCAF.

ter of ceremonies.

erated by Fred Bell and Sons,

trees which have done surpris-
ingly well in. this "northerly"
area.
Steven Stothers, former ag-
ricultural representative for
Huron County was present and
stated it was during his tenure
office that this present organ-
ization was set up 40 years
ago. He was glad to see it was
sell going strong.
J. J. Johnston, fruit inspec-
tor, London, spoke briefly,
paying ;tribute to the Huron
County Fruit Growers, both
for their record of production
and their splendid sociability.

various aspects of the growing
and processing of the tender
