“How come you didn’t turn out?”
demanded the sergeant. “Didn't
you hear the bugle blow reveille?”
“Honest, sergeant, I’m afraid I’m
going to be a flop as a soldier, 1
don’t know one dem tune from an
other.”
Blue skies and a warm sunny
afternoon with a background of
Anson aircraft was the setting of
the presentation of wings ceremony
to course 99 who graduated at No.
9 S.F.T.S., Centralia, Ont,, pn Fri
day, Apgust 12th, 1944,
The parade was brought to atten
tion by S/Ldr. Smith and Group
Captain E. G. Fullerton, the 'Com
manding Officer of this station, ad
dressed the graduating group,
In his address Group Captain
Fullerton welcomed the friends and
relatives of the graduating
and the general public,
speaking specifically to the graduat
ing class he spoke of the extension
in training time for the trainees of
this course and how it had been ex
tended from five to seven months
and making nearly a year total
training time in all stations.
Two specific reasons given for
this was that because of the favor
able events in the air at the battle
fronts, trainees have more time to
receive more advanced trainin
secondly, after graduating,
opportunity of receiving
specialized training in
branches.
Group Captain
ed the graduates
ating there was
that is essential
is, no matter how good
think you are. or you
told you are, never to
satisfied with, your own
tinually striving to do
time and in every phase of flying
and constantly seeking more know
ledge of all subjects connected with
flying.
Necessity of physical fitness at
all times was emphasized—modera
tion in all things advised. He also
reminded the boys of the importance
of the ground crew who are res
ponsible for the servicability of their
aircraft and. pointed out that air
crew cannot function without
ground crew.
Then Group Captain (Fullerton
warned against over optimism, stat
ing that the enemy is still strong
and still not beaten, especially with
his shortened "lines of communica
tion and reduced frontages.
Miracles can happen in war, he
said, and the miracles have all been
in our favor, indicating that Provi
dence is with us. “We hope He will
continue to be with us until victory.
Meantime we must not slacken our
war effort. Canada will be required
to play an increasingly important
and active role in the Pacific war.
We must give of our best, all of us,
whatever task is given us until the
last battle has been won and until
peace, a lasting peace and demo
cratic freedom has been firmly es
tablished.”
The first graduate to receive his
wings was Sgt, Griffin, F. R., from
Winnipeg, who received the highest
aggregate marks in his class for
air training, ground training, char

Staibborse Cases
of Constipation
Those who keep a mass of
impurity pent up in their bodies,
day after day, instead of having it
removed as nature intended, at least
once in every twenty-four hours, in
variably suffer from constipation.
The use of cheap, harsh purgatives
will never get you any where as they
only aggravate the trouble and in
jure the delicate mucous lining of the
bowels, and are very liable to cause
piles.
If constipated take Milburn’s
Laxa-Liver Pills and have a natural
movement of the bowels. They do
not gripe, weaken and sicken as
many laxatives do.

Although our competitors proved
too good for the contestants from
this station, we did run a close third
over the total number’ of points for
the evening, and the entire' evening
was a splendid exhibition of good
sportmanship, physical fitness and
team work.
The programme included events
in 5 0 yards—free style, back stroke
and breast stroke. 100 yards free
