News From . . . . NUMBER 9 S.F.T.S, (continued from page 1) of a permanent invitation to the wings presentation, Graduation exercises for course 65 were to have been held first, on January 22, then February 5. The unsuitable flying conditions necessitated deferment to February 9. This presentation, my first exper­ ience, impressed me greatly. One sees in this steady flow of flying personnel a source of power that presages ill for those, who in .their cupidity, have thrown the whole of our globe into tumult. Let us wish these pilots courage and success in their high calling. * * # The highlight of the past week •was the dance held in the Drill Hall. I A large crowd representing the Sta­ tion and the surrounding district came to enjoy a grand evening of dancing. The hall was skillfully dec­ orated in red, white and blue. This work was undertaken by the air­ women of the station and a th or-* oughly artistic view greeted the eyes of the guests. Ample facilities were provided for the checking of clothes. At one end of the Drill Hall bingo was in progress for those who might! care to take time out for that popu-j lar game Refreshments (buffet style) were served shortly after the hour of eleven. Due to the unex­ pectedly large number of patrons there was a temporary shortage of coffee. The situation however was soon remedied and no one suffered unduly. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Station Orchestra and much credit is due- them for a really fine job. It is planned that these dances take place monthly. They will, I feel certain, prove very popular entertainment. * * # * Movies for this week include “Be­ ware of Spooks”, “That Night in New Orleans” and “Everything Hap­ pens at Night” Some difficulty is ex­ perienced in securing the movie al­ loted to us on the Wednesday circuit. In consequence the Wednesday showing is somewhat of a surprise. The coming schedule includes “It’s in the Air” starring that popular English comedian, George Formby. Wednesday’s showing remains at the moment a mystery. The Friday showing stars Carole Landis and George Montgomery in “Cadet Girl”. The regular Tuesday dances will be resumed this week. These inform­ al dances are much looked forward to by all participants. Improvements have been made in the sound system, insuring better musical performance. (Our Station Hockey team suffered its first defeat of the season. They are however undaunted and will be right in there fighting. This week’s games include Clinton at Exeter and Exeter at Seaforth, Tuesday and Thursday nights respectively. Good crowds are in attendance at these games and interest in this form of sport runs high. A doubleheader is scheduled for Wednesday evening February 10. Exeter versus Eagles and Gremlins versus Spare Parts. * * $ * We were favoured this week by a visit from Air Vice Marshal Sulley, who made a tour of the station. A special luncheon was tendered in his honour. Following the lunch­ eon the Air Vice-Marshal addressed the officers and members of the mess. He touched briefly. and fit­ tingly on officer-airmen relations and emphasized the necessity for complete unity in the common ef­ fort. His general address was fol­ lowed by a meeting with the offic­ ers. His tour of the station includ­ ed all three messes, the airwomen’s and airmen’s canteens, and one of the barrack blocks. It is apparent that he is vitally interested in mat-* ters pertinent to airwomen and air­ men alike. ❖ # # # Mrs, Barham who was previously stationed at Guelph has come to as­ sist Mrs. Racey at the Hostess House. It has a definite atmosphere of cosi­ ness and friendliness—-a delightful spot to relax. The Weather is again threatening to isolate the Station. The advent Of Spring is a much looked f dr ward to occasion. In spite of the tenacity bf the season spirits run high, Isolation is a challenge to utilize our w'on re­ sources and so it’s an ill wind that doesn’t bring some good with it. Till next week, Harris W. Weber, Y.M.'C.A. BOARD OF EDUCATION (Continued from Rage 1) been heist and reports would be issued shortly. Permanent records of marks were beiug entered. Fer Q.

Dear IMr. Creech: Just a line to let you know I re­ ceived your most welcome parcel and appreciate it very much. We had a very good Christmas over here, going back, to our camp for the day. Wte are kept fairly busy lately and haven’t had a Sunday off for five weeks. I’ve seen most of the south­ ern part of England but as yet have seen only two Exeter boys. Well there isn’t much news to tell, so I say thanks again for the lovely gifts. Yours truly, J. H. Clarke A5'8568 Pte. Clarke, J. H., 65th T.T. Coy., R.C.A.S.C., Canadian Army Overseas. * * * January 4, 1943. Somewhere in.,England Exeter District War Time Board, Dear Mr. Creech: I received the parcels from the War Time Board on December 22. I certainly want tp thank the Board for the lovely parcel. Everything in the parcel was in good condition and although we have only been over here a short time, Canadian food cer­ tainly tastes good. The boys over here enjoyed every­ thing. We all wish to thank the Board very much. Yours sincerely, ■ Gordon Baynham Baynham, G. 'G. R169812, R.'C.A.F. Overseas. * * its January 9, 1943. Mr. !R. N. Creech, Exeter. Just a few lines to let you know I received your parcel and to thank you for it. I have seen very little of it in the past ten years and it is in­ deed a very great pleasure to know that you are remembered after that •length of time. I certainly appreciate the gift and the thought. As you probably know I am in New Guinea with the American forc­ es and have been hero for quite some time. I left the States over ten monthsi ago, after a long and not too pleasant trip, landed up in Australia We had a nice time in Australia for a while and then wore sent up here where we have been ever since. We are hoping to be relieved soon. I have been quite fortunate in being in a hospital here and am getting quite a little medical treatment and surgery to do, I cannot tell you much about my work-— censorship regula­ tions. Some day I may have a story and a good one. It really isn’t too bad where we are. Of course It is very hot in the sun ... 13-0 degrees and that is prac­ tically every day and any day. It has been dry and hot but now we are en­ tering the rainy season and lately it has been raining almost every day. It rains and it blows and at times you think you will be carried off. They call them “Gubas” over here. The soil is clay and it really gets muddy after a rain. It sticks to you just like glue. The rain cools things off but. it soon is as hot as ever. Nights are hot but you can usually 'sleep although the mosquitoes and flies are bad. So far I have suffered nothing serious from them. The food was not so very good but is improv­ ing and along with our parcels from home we manage alright. JThe worst thing about New Guinea i's the monotony. After being here so long, seeing the same old things day after day it gets on your nerves. We have a fine library and read quite a bit in our spare time. Some books came from home and others were bought here. Occasion­ ally we see a show. They are usually old but we enjoy them just the same We saw “Professor Beware”. ' The wai* news looks good now and maybe it won’t be as long as we think. Hope not as all the boys are hpmesick already and we have been here only a comparatively short time. I think we have them on the run anyway. I often think of all the fun I’Ve had around Exeter in the good old days with the old gang. The golf games we had at the Bend, the hockey and especially ‘the baseball teams we had . . If you see any of the old gang Lawson, Hind, Medd, Pollen, Beavers and the rest. Are any of them in the Army and if so where? We Tiemans did all right. I am in New Guinea and my cousin, Eugene, is in .Europe or Africa some place. Just on opposite sides of the globe. He is in the Canadian Medical Corps. So far I have come through unscratched and with God’s help expect to survive this awful affair and be back home once again and soon. Thanks again for the package and give my .regards to all my 'old friends around Exeter although I suppose they are all well scattered by now. Write if you can. Sincerely, Lome Tiernan Lome S.
