Walker Phone 286J for appointment At last reports, housing offers were still coming in to the station from Exeter, and the surrounding­ country-side at a rate nearly equal to the demand. Every offer works to the mutual advantage of the air­ force and the district, for each new family means an increase in local purchasing power. As a general rule the airman’s family make good citizens. They realize that good' or bad impressions reflect to a large extent on their fellow airmen. These airforce families have be­ come quite cosmopolitan through living in different parts of the country and rapidly integrate them­ selves with the community. * * * * After struggling vainly with the intricacies of the 'French language in high school, we would like to hand a bouquet to the French- speaking lads at the airport for the rapid manner in which they make English their second tongue. A large numlber of the French- speaking lads in the service come from districts where English is never heard, and then to make mat­ ters worse, they must assimilate their English idioms from the some­ what forceful style of sergeants and sergeant-majors. Canadian way of life. He and his pretty Guelph wife have accumu­ lated a 1941 Packard. “The license alone on this car in England would be several week’s wages, and any' car is out of the question for the English airman,’’ says Sid. Sid is an ex-airgunner who visited Can­ ada. inititally under the Empire Training Plan and liking what he saw, transferred to the RCAF at the end of the war for a career' in the permanent force.* * * *■ The Station “Met” section came in for some disparaging remarks last week. They still maintain that they only predict the weather, not order it. * * * * Sgt. Jerry Dunn, a tenant of Fred Newton’s in Exeter, has taken over the supervision of the ground school garden and -landscaping pro­ ject. In a remarkably short space of time, he had the beds prepared, money raised, plants ordered and the situation well in hand.

The Cen­ tralia station now incorporates sev­ eral units of entirely different na­ tures, each with its own officers and men but grouped together for quarters, rations, and the host of other services that make up a camp. Each Tuesday morning the station as a whole parades on the main parade square for inspection and review by the camp commandant, Group Captain Lister. This is the “CO’s parade” for which the boys press and shine and polish in true “guards” style.* * * * The radio “hams” on the camp are proud of the QSL cards they have received certifying contacts made on the amateur radio bands. One wall of the instructors lounge in the ground school presents a colourful spectacle with cards from such places as Vancouver, Georgia, Kentucky, England, and the Canal Zone. Cpl. Gordon Dickson, a new ham from Toronto, is particularly proud of his English contact to Hexham in Northumberland. To combine service with fun, the lads pass messages free of charge to folks back home wherever they can contact an amateur in the desired vicinity. Quite often a message of this nature will take a “shortcut” to Vancouver by way of Texas. * * * * Monday afternoon a number of Exeter ladies met the station enter­ tainment committee at a tea on the camp, with the object of form­ ing the Hostess club mentioned in last week’s column. The discrep­ ancy between press time and the meeting causes us to use the past tens© with some misgivings. -x- -x- -x- * LAC, Sid Dove, formerly of Wath- On—Dearne, Yorkshire, and now of Exeter is a sound convert to the M iss Rita Oke Honoured A very enjoyable evening was spent at the home ,of Mrs. Clar­ ence Down Tuesday May 6th when friends and neighbors gathered to honour Miss Rita Oke, a bride-el­ ect of the month. A short pro­ gram arranged by Mrs. Earl Mit­ chell and .Mrs. Down consisted of musical numbers by Mrs. Garnet. Frayne and Eileen Jeffrey, Mrs. Robert Jeffrey and Mrs. ,Beckler, and readings by Mrs. Alvin Moir were much enjoyed.

Helen Down as bride Bob Down as the bride’s father, Arthur Mitchell, as groom, Bernice and Gordon Strang, as flower girl and ring bearer assisted and sur­ rounded the bride-elect. A novel way of presenting a shower of kit­ chen articles .was the pricking of tho balloons with a needle in which were enclosed directions for the finding of the gifts about the house by the guest of honour. Rita thanked the friends in a few well chosen words. A dainty lunch was served with Miss Della Oke pouring tea. At a recent gathering of I-Iuron*, dale .Community Night Mrs. John Oke was presented with a tri-liglit lamp as a parting gift before leaving to take up residence in Exeter.
