Exeterites Inspect New Chapel
At No. 9 S.F.T.S., Centralia
Nothing to surpass it at any Canadian R.C.A.F. station
At the kind invitation of the
Commanding Officer, Group Captain
E. G. Fullerton, a number of the
citizens of Exeter, whose contribu
tions .helped ■ In the furnishing of
tlie interior pf the chapel at No, 9
S.'F,T.3,t visited the. Chapel on Sun
day pftprnoon, What they saw’ was
a surprise and a delight as the
chapfijj is; finished * andflprnished so
cqippletely, leaving nothing to be
desired., ":,t ; . r

while lhe panelling woodwork pf
the walls’ and the chancel railing
were done on the station. At the
opposite end is the R.C. Sanctuary
draped in burgundy tapestry, fash
ioned in the traditional, manner. On
th.e ..altar and in the niches ape
some beautiful statuary the product
of Carli Petrucci, of Montreal, while
the" altar, and the communion rail

Adjoining th’e chancel is the office

they- thought of home and loved
ones.
. .The lighting,^system :is,i.of stained
glass chandeliers. Stained glass
windows adorn the chancel, and
there is stained glass at the top of
the windows adding color to the
soft, quiet tones of the walls and
ceilings. ,A portable fireplace lends
enchantment to the weekly gather
ings. The benches, made on the
station, have reversible backs and
are used to face either end pf, the
chapel. The kneeling benches are
upholstered in matching carpet with
the floors. The seating capacity is
a JittlQ less than 200. The whole
surroundings lends itself to a re
ligious atmosphere of worship and
devotion. It is safe to say that
nothing finer can be found in any
of the R.C.A.F. camps across Can-
•ada.
The pare walls aud ceiling of
chapel were provided for by
government but the belfry and
furnishings hava been donatedthrougp public subscription, a list
of tho donors in a frame having
been hung uppn the wall.

The hospital is well equipped, with
the various devices and instruments
for the care of the sick and emer
gent eases, The more serious cases
are now being transferred to the
larger R.C.A.F. Hopital at St.
Thomas.
At the close of the inspection of
the hospital the party were invited
to the officers’ mess where they
were treated very generously to
light refreshments and a' social hour
was spent. A vote of thanks was
