HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1971-08-26, Page 7With people speculating as to whether or not schools in Huron County will be open this September, there is one school about which there is no speculation. Air Marshal Hugh Campbell School at Adastral Park, in the background, will be closed because it has no students. Only a few stragglers are left behind at CFB Clinton as final closing draws near. All entrances but the main gate are now blocked off at the base to prevent vandalism.

Every time a person makes a comment about some department of the federal government, he or she is definitely inviting, trouble. I was reading just the other day that the Canadian Armed Forces will launch a major recruiting drive in September to engage 9,500 new servicemen and women. According to the information I've received, the recruiting will go on for an entire year, until next September. One would imagine that with the high level of unemployment in the country today, it wouldn't be difficult for the Defense Department to pick up 9,500 recruits, but it seems the military is going to be plenty choosey this time. They want "young idealists" for their employees and the story goes like this. There is much emphasis these days on' keeping the puce, helping the poor nations, developing the north of Canada and guarding our sovereignty. The Canadian Armed Forces claims to be looking for a cross-section of the populous, thinking young people who believe that this old world can be saved by something other than guns and fighting. "Let's face it," Colodel Pierre Chasse, director of Armed Forces recruiting, is reported to have said. "We have a problem. It all stems from Vietnam and it is world-wide. The young do not respect the military and our way of life." Well, Colonel Chasse, it isn't just the young who .wonder about the military and their way of life, sometimes I wonder, too, and there are many, many more like me. Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful to the men and women who fought and died to keep Canada (and other countries of the world) free when I was too young to do much about it. I was one of these kids who came up through a time when world war was just something you studied in history. I think I might have been 7 or maybe 8 when my mother and I took part in the VE Day parade, so I don't remember much about war and its horror. The skies over the former Canadian Forces Base at Centralia will hum with some familiar sounds this weekend. The Canadian Aerobatic Foundation is sponsoring its annual competition and air show at Hiiron Park (Centralia) after last year's successful debut. North America's top pilots will be flying a variety of unusual craft in the competitions and air shows, Duane Cole of the Cole Brothers Flying Circus will highlight the show, along with Bob Heuer, Professor Bob Lyjack, Henry Haigh and Jim Holland. Heuer, president of the International Aerobatic Club, flys a 200 horsepower Pitts Special, as does Haigh. Jim Holland, Florida, performs the breath-taking inverted ribbon pick-up in his Citabria and • . BY SHIRLEY J, KELLER I've spent the greater part of my life in a relatively peaceful world and I've learned all about the Armed Forces in peacetime. Man, it is a different kind of ball game altogether, if you ask me, and I agree with the recruiting staff , . we need idealists and need them badly. We need idealists who will say let's stop all the waste and get down to the business at hand. Let's not be quite so generous with the food and the booze at the officers' mess this month, for instance, so we can help feed and clothe someone else who really needs it. And let's see that everyone is carrying his or her weight and doing a really necessary job so that the-Armed Forces won't be tagged with the ``easy living" label. Maybe idealists in the service would be able to assist humanity more by showing examples of living at peace with one another. There have been times in the past, I'm sure, when servicemen and women have done their bit just for lack of something better to do, but surely a peacetime army could spend less time parading and drilling and more time rehabilitating and re-establishing the vitality of communities, of people, of whole countries. Today's young people may be the answer. For the first time, in my recollection, young people are saying they are not interested in financial gain, but in human rights; they don't want security in the bank, but rather freedom to be free, with each person choosing his own way in harmony with the fellow next door. It sounds crazy to someone like me who has grown up in a world where no one trusts anyone . . . where everybody grabbed and held on for oneself — where nobody gave anything until he was certain of getting something in return. The Armed Forces in Canada (and other government-run services) have been sucking the life blood out of the taxpayers for years. Maybe the younger generation — the kids with the high hopes and the low demands (so they say) — will show us a way out of our dilemma. And yet another prophesy would be fulfilled . . . and the young shall lead them . Professor Lyjack, Anarbour, Michigan, fills the sky with noise and intricate maneouvres with his Waco Taperwing. Sky diving will also be an attraction again this year and the Canadian Armed Forces will have a huge Buffalo on hand for static and flying display. The competition on both Saturday and Sunday will be held basically from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m: with the exciting air show following from 2:00 until 4:30. Competitors will be vying for the Molson awards. Last year's show was watched by over 10,000 thrilled people. Ground displays include antique and home-built craft, along with Bob Poberezny's Warbirds of America. Radio controlled models are also featured throughout the two-day show. BY WILMA OKE Six trustees of the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will attend the Canadian Catholic Trustees Association Conference in Thunder Bay on September 16, 17 and 18. The Superintendent of Education, John Vintar, or his assistant, Joseph Tokar, will also attend, with trustees: Board Chairman, Howard Shantz; David Teahen and F. J. Vere, all of Stratford; Oscar Kieffer of R. R. 1, Bluevale; John McCann of R. R. 3, Ailsa Craig; and Vincent Young of Goderich. In other business Monday night the board granted permission to Rev. M. J. Hughes of Stratford to hold a COR Weekend (a retreat for young people) in St. Michael's School in Stratford. The custodians in the 19 separate schools in Huron and Perth will meet in the board rooms in Seaforth, with the initial meeting to be held on August 31. At this meeting, set up by the Business Administrator, Jack Lane, they will deal with the rules and regulations for custodians so that they will all be aware of their responsibilities. Too, they will plan subsequent meetings BY JO,LANDE AMSING There's nothing like a vacation in the country for city children. In July, 34 Negro children from Detroit had just this chance. They came to spend two weeks on farms around Clinton. Some liked it so much they wanted to stay longer. Mrs. Henk Snieder and Mrs. Ralph Schuurman, both from Clinton, organized this program with an inner-city minister in Detroit. The Negro children ranged in age from 5 — 13 years. On July 1, eight cars drove down to pick up the children. Upon arrival in Clinton, Rev. Alvin Benkema of the Christian Reformed Church greeted and welcomed the visitors. The children quickly made with in-service programs for them to learn new techniques. Attending the meetings, also, will be Edward Rowland and a trustee on the Personnel Committee. A meeting in Toronto on August 30 concerning provincial support for separate school education to the end of Grade 13, will be attended by Superintendent John Vintar or Joseph Tokar; Board Chairman Howard Shantz and Trustee Francis Hicknell of R. R. 5, Seaforth. By that date it is expected that Premier William Davis will have handed down his ruling on the extension of grants to the end of Grade 13 for separate schools. Regarding this extension of grants, each trustee was presented with a book, "Completion Campaign Handbook 1971", which had been prepared by the English Catholic Teachers' Association of Ontario. A discussion was held on renovations to the existing storeroom at the board office location to make it a new resource area. The Property Committee is to bring in a recommendation on the proposal. friends and tiad a good time exploring the farm together. Some city children had never seen cows or pigs, since they never left the city at all. On July 15, a picnic was held at Ipperwash to reunite the children with their families, The gathering also gave the American and Canadian families a chance to become better acquainted. At 3:00 p.m. the buses took the Americans back home. "It was a good experience for our children and we hope it will help for future relations," remarked Mrs. Snieder. The project was considered a success and it will be attempted again next year. BY MRS. MAUDE HEDDEN Mr. and Mrs. N.
