The radar antenna monument
marking establishment at
Clinton of the first radar training
school in North America in 1941
was dedicated on Remembrance
Day by Col, E. W. Ryan,
commander of Canadian Forces
Base Clinton which evolved from
the secret wartime training site.
In the ceremonies following
the Legion parade and
wreath-laying at the Cenotaph
Tuesday morning, Mayor Donald
Symons called it a "pleasure and
an honor" to accept the antenna
on behalf of Clinton and the
surrounding district.
The mayor urged that the
antenna not be, looked at as a
monument to war bet as a
symbol of the hope for a greater
society, a challenge to strive for
better things.
Huron MP Robert McKinley
called the memorial a "reminder
of the goodwill there has been
between the town and the base
and the good done for the world
by the men trained here."
Warden James Hayter thanked
the base And the armed forces
for the Centennial gift • to the
town and the county and said it
would always remind the
citizens of many happy
occasions over nearly three
decades.
Colonel Ryan said it was
particularly - fitting that the
dedication was on Nov. 11 and
said it was in remembrance of
the "friendship and fellowship
the citizens extended to military
personnel these many years ....'
Provincial Treasurer Charles
MacNaughton also spoke briefly
at the dedication.
Among those present were
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon W.
Cuninghame who recalled that
their son, John, then stationed
in England, helped assemble and
ship the first radar equipment
for use in Clinton.
The AN/FPS , 20 antenna
mounted on a concrete pedestal
south of the recently rebuilt
intersection of Highways 4 and 8
is a long-range search radar used
in the surveillance of Canada's
air space. It was first installed at
RCAF Station Lac St. Denis,
P.Q. and subsequently at 20
more sites across Canada, where
it served as part of the
Semi-Automatic Ground
Environment (SAGE) system
operated by North America Air
Defence (NORAD).
The antenna was presented
officially by base personnel at
centennial celebration activities
in 1967.
Several former base
commanders were invited to this
week's ceremony, None could
attend,
Keith R. Greenaway wrote
from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to
thank the mayor and council for
inviting him. He said it was not
possible for him to attend, but
that "I would enjoy very much
being with you on this occasion
and having the opportunity to
see my many Clinton friends
again."
In a telegraphed message from
Washington, D.C., Lt. Col. Bruce
R. Refuse, now commander of
Canadian defence liaison staff,
also expressed his thanks and
said he •would be unable to be
present.
Sherman Burbank and • his
wife, Edith, wrote from British
Columbia and said, in part:
"We sincerely regret that
circumstances make it
impossible for us to visit Clinton
this autumn, for many of the
happfest memories of our lives in
the service centre around the
people of Clinton, their town
and the surrounding
countryside.
"During our Clinton tour,
Which;' laSted from October '47
until January '51, we were the
„fortunate l recipients of, \much
hospitality and friendship from
'citizens and business people of
the area, and it was a sad thing
to be posted back to Ottawa ....
"Yours is a fine town in a
beautiful countryside and our
thoughts turn back to it often,
and with pleasure. May we salute
all our friends there and wish
every one of you a full measure
of happiness and prosperity."
K. R. Patrick hoped to be
back from an overseas trip in
time for the ceremony. In his
letter from Montreal he spoke of
his "fond memories of my
association with the Town of
Clinton and my tour as
commanding officer...."
Adrian Cocks, recently retired
RAF group captain and the first
commander of the Clinton base,
said in his letter from Somerset,
England:
" Having recently heard
from the forces base commander
that 'my old school' is due to be
phased out, I think that, even if
I were able to attend your
ceremony, I wouldn't be able to
avoid feeling more than a little
sad.
"My first memory of your
Township in the Spring of 1941
is, I must confess, something of
a no-memory. Two other R.A.F.
officers and myself had
disembarked at Montreal after
crossing the Atlantic in an

journeyed by parlour car to
Ottawa the same evening. The
next day we flew down to
Toronto, with a brief stop at
Trenton. The next day we were

DEAR SIR:
We are planning on having a
sleigh ride party, weather
permitting. What are the laws
pertaining to operating a sleigh
on a highway?
ANSWER: Section 43 (1) states,
"Every person travelling on a
highway with a sleigh or sled
drawn by a horse or other
animal shall have at least two
bells attached to the harness or
to the sleigh or sled in such a
manner as to give ample warning
sound."
You must also obey all the
rules of the road such as
stopping, giving signals, etc. and
don't forget, if you are out at
night, you must have a light on
the left side displaying white to
'the front and red to the rear and
both lights must be visible for at
least a distance of 500 feet,
