in fiat& which placed at least
a tri -service and sometimes
international emphasis' on its
activities. This oe erred again
when the Air Radio Warfare
section of the R & CS, which`
had been in operation since
1948, become The Joint Services
Missile Ind otxfnfattapn Course in
1951. The function of this or-
gbnizettien is to officers of all
three Canadians Services and
the Defence Research Board.
Here the international charact-
er of Station Clinton is also
carried an throughthe medium
of iecturies'ato these courses who
are often dm'awvtn from the U.S.
and British services.
In 1954 two developments oc-
curtred which made a marked
ilhhange in the station, The Air
Radio Offieeire School was mov-
ed to Statiot Winnipeg where
it became a apart of the Air
Navigation School. The second
was 'bhe establishment at Clin-
ton of .No. 1 School_ of Food
Services, the first organization
of 'its kind in the RCAF. The
funritton of this school vette, in-
itially, 'to carry out basic train-
ing of cooks and food service
atttendants. After' it had been
in operation for a shorn time
it was detailed to expand the
treating to include adlvamced
courses .for personnel Who had
had considerable field exper-
ience in the, Food Service trad-
es. As: a result, instruction is
now given! 'to Food ' Service's
Supervisors, Cooks basic, Cloaks
,advtanaed, Cooks Superintend-
ents, Food Service Officers
tuaimP and Regular Force) and.
to Flight Stewards. The stand-
ard of food inRCAF messes at
the present time is a good in-
dication of the value of the
work of This organization.
The first Officer Command-
ing was F d i g th• rt Liewteniant
Isabel McRae who guided it
through ids opening and original
growing pains. She was suc-
ceed'ed by Squadron Leader
Laura Johnson, , who inturn
handed over to Flight Lieuten-
ant F. E. 'Betty" Bell: in 1959.
Since its opening, the school
has graduated more than 1,000
trained personnel in the var-
ious 'careen" fields covered by
ate course.

But .also, during this period. the
original group of wartime
"telneerarr !buildings woa sur.-
rounded by new construction. of
a per'manent nature, Many new
buildlings' were added to the
station .including four Officer/.
NCO type quarters, a 1,0094°-

permanent Sergeants' Mess and
an identical Officers' Mesas, a

ing, three new 180 -roan Air-
men s
ir -men's Barrack Blocks and num,
emus roads and: sidewalks.
Outside the station fence, a
total of 220 housbig units were
built in the "Permanent Mar-
ried Quarters" area known its
Adashrat Park. For the families
a sten-classroom seh!ooll was
built and in 1959 it grew by the
addition of two more roonw and
a library. Public School attend-
ance in 1958 was over 400 and,
in fact, two rooms in a station
building were taken over to ac-
commodate an overflow of ap-
proxintately 40 :pupils.
The construction business was
not confined ' entirely to govern-
meant projects either. During
the same period the former Of-
ficer5' Mess was turned over to
the Junior NCOs as a Corp-
orals' O1hib while the previous
Sergeants' Mestss became an Aar -
men's and Airwomen's Social
Cense. Tibia lest is ultra -modern
irn,deeor and ie considered to be
the, finest in the RCAF. It in-
cludes a snack bar 'brit' has
facilities for private emotions,
a TV room, a card room and a
dance floor. The necelssary work
to bring these plana to fruition
was financed largely from the
Station Fumed Art the same time,
a new Olympic Standard swim-
ming pool was constructed be-
side the recreation hall and the
Officers' Mess ,financed a swim-
ming pool of its own.
Other projects have provided
a :hobby shop and bowling alleys
and, in the early spring of 1958,
a four sheet curling rink was
opened on the station. Its artif-
icial ice plant was provided
from the Station Fundis and
was :housed in: a steel Butler
building provided by the ser
vice In the summer of that
.scnne yeas .aAlow.Serviee Caenttre
was provided by the station for
