Who’s Who
by CpL Cook
Flight Sergeant Alexander Scott
R.C.A.F. 'Service Police,
If “there’s something about a
soldier” as the song tells us, then
Flight Sergeant Alexander Scott
must certainly have it for he’s been
one for twenty years. You’ll see
his smiling face behind the guard
house windows any day of the week
but he hasn’t always ben a member
of the R.C.A.F, Service Police.
Flight Scott was born in Glasgow,
Scotland, and came to Canada in
1910 where lie made his home in.
Windsor. For some time he worked
as assistant projectionist with the
Empire Theatre there, but in 1914
war interrupted his world. He en
listed with the. Essex Fusiliers,
transferring shortly to the perman
ent force, the Royal Canadian Regi
ment which proceeded almost im
mediately to the West Indies on
guard duty as the first Canadian
force ever stationed in that country.
After eleven months in the sun he
was sent overseas to see service in
England, Belgium and France. He
took an active part in the Ypres
engagement and was launched on
a Course which he completed at
Aidershot gymnasium, remaining as
a sergeant instructor in physical
training and bayonet fighting.
Upon demobilization he returned
to Canada to lead classes in gymnas
tics among the business men of
Windsor. The well-known Detroit
hockey teams, the Red Wings and
the Olympics, finally claimed him
as a trainer for seven years. But
soldiering was in his blood and he
rejoined his old company, the Essex
Fusiliers to remain as Company
Sergeant major for sixteen years.
Not many soldiers have the privi
lege of seeing thei.r regimental
colors trooped, but Flight Scott
was present on two occasions when
he and his men unfurled their flag
at Syracuse and at the Century of
Progress Exposition in Chicago.
In April of 1939 he resigned from
the army but when a new oppor
tunity for service came with the
second conflict he was not long in
presenting himself, this time to don
air force blue uniform as a member
of the Service Police Force—Camp
Borden, Winnipeg and Arnprior all
heard his Scotch brogue before he
came to Centralia. That Colonial
Auxiliary Long Service medal he
possesses is a tribute to his splen
did twenty years of service.

Group Captain Fullerton, was “at
home” at the Y.W.'C.A. Hostess
House to the wives of all ranks of

served while plans for the forth
coming season of Red Cross activi
ties were discussed. The gathering

from among the officers ancl air
men’s wives, and it is proposed to

Band and Sports
F/O Herbertson
On Thursday, October 7, the Pine
Band took part in a huge Lion’s
Club carnival at Exeter, After
parading through the town the Band
played in the Exeter Arena and re
ceived a great round of applause.
Our Pipe Band is going to play
a very important role in the Coming
Victory Loan Drive as they have
been booked to attend the Opening
Rallys at Goderich, Hensall, Strat
ford, St. Marys, Mitchell and List-
owel.
On Friday October 8, 19 43, the
Band took part in a military funeral
at Staffa, Ont., which was very im
pressive and attended by 400 to 500
people.
The Band establishment lias now
been completed, consisting of 13
Pipers and six Drummers and
Drum Majorette Marie Hott, and
they certainly do make a very im
pressive sight in the R.C.A.F, Tar
ton.
Our Station Brass Band has been
working hard and will soon be ready
to take part in station activities, A
lot of credit is due to Cpl. Short
and the members of the Band as
this Is a voluntary oganization and
they spend a lot of their off duty
time reheasing and keeping their
instruments ’in shape.
The Softball Championship at No.
9 S.F.T.S, has been completed and
after a very keen play-off series,
the “Flights” team under F/S Dixon
emerged as winners. This has been
a very excellent season and our boys
show promise of rounding out a
good team for the future in the
R.C.A.F. Western Ontario District.
They lost out by one game to God
erich after a very hard fought series.

Canada’s Fifth Victory Loan
Once again Canada launches a
victory bond campaign. This time
it is the “Fifth Victory Loan,” and
the slogan is “Speed the Victory.”
A. more appropriate slogan could not
have been picked as we all want co

of our enemies.
Number Nine lias in the past done
a great job in subscribing to the
Victory Loan and we all know this
time will be no exception. The
objective set for this station is

Sunday Musicale Hour
by IL Watts
A program of classical music held
in the Recreation Flail on Sunday
evening between 7 and 9 p.m. was
well received by the personnel of the
station. Easy chairs and special
lighting effects created an atmos
phere which harmonized with the
compositions presented.
Organ selections by LAC. Low
were offered as a prelude to the
concert.
The program opened with Sym
phony No. 8 in iB Minor by Franz
Schubert. Then the great Russian
composer, Tschailtowsky was rep
resented by his Symphony No. 4 in
F Minor. These two Symphonies
consumed the major portion of the
time and the program concluded
with Overture from Merry Wives of
Windsor; Semiramide Overture by
Rossini and Beethoven's Moonlight
Sonata as played by the late Pader
ewski.
Credit is due to the untiring ef
forts of F/O Gordon and Mr. Pass,
the “Y” representative in arranging
this program. It is intended to hold
these concerts every Sunday in the
future and we feel sure that it will
add to the enjoyment of station life.

IS A VICTORY BOND?
A VICTORY BOND is the promise of the Dominion of Canada to repay in
cash the face value of the Bond on the date of maturity with half-yearly
interest until that time. A Victory Bond is the safest investment in Canada
backed by the entire resources of the Dominion. Canada has been issuing
bonds for 75 years, and has never failed to pay every dollar of principal and
interest when due. A Victory Bond is an asset readily marketable at any time.
