In fact more than a few of us will be rolling away on our first trips to the vacationland in the north this coming week-end, This might be a good time to talk briefly about some of the spots our own province where beauty serene and interest unlimited. You know, or perhaps you don't you have never really travelled our North—you don't have to go 'way up yonder to find the sort Of spots which delight the whole family. If you only have a couple of days we can think of dozens of places you will* enjoy to the utmost. There isn't room here to talk about a few all of them, so, we’ll settle for of our own' favorites. 0-0-0 drive from here to TobermoryThe is only a matter of a few hours and all along the way there is something to see. If you wander up through Southampton and follow the shore as closely as possible to Oliphant, then cross the base of the Bruce Penin­ sula to Wiarton you will have a grand view of Sauble Beach, Sauble Falls and the lake front. At Sauble Beach you may find Roy Adair busy at his store. It's right on the main corner where the road from Hepworth ar­ rives at the beach. The shoreline in and around Wiar­ ton is worth a day or even a week’s time. If you like to fish, we hear that the rainbows are coming in big and strong; and into the bargain Colpoys Bay, on which the .town is located, has almost always been good water for lake trout. 0-0-0 Supposing you aren’t in too much rush, it’s worth the extra time to drive up the lesser used road on the bay side of the Peninsula. Side excur­ sions in Dyers Bay and the many oth­ er inlets which indent the rocky coast are most interesting. We, personally have a soft spot for The Tub (Tobermory). Almost any- spot in and around the village is pic­ turesque in the extreme and once again, good for all the spare time you ■can find. If you happen to have the sort of Wife Who' enjoysa night out under the stars, you can* find hund­ reds of camping spots with perfect settings. Should .you be interested in a trip across the North Channel to Manitou- lin, you may have to wait overnight, or at most a few hours, for room on the new ferry. The passage takes about four hours and is not too cost­ ly unless you have too many children or a big boat with you. The Norisle docks at South Bay­ mouth when it reaches the island— and there's a picturesque little village if you ever saw one. Accommodations at South Baymouth are excellent but often .spoken for ahead of time. We recall eating one of the finest meals of our dives at a tourist home there. If we can just find the time and space we will continue this sort of J travel chatter for a few weeks, for it would be grand to have you share the sincere, pleasure that has always been ours in the Northland. The regular meeting of the Nodth Huron Junior Farmers was held in Belgrave, May 13, 1954. This was the second meeting of the membership drive,and a good number were pre­ sent.

The theme of the meeting was “Good Grooming". The Junior Farmers met in the Forester’s Hall and the roll call was answered by the number of acres of cash crop. The speaker was one of our own members in the person of BOyd Taylor, who spoke oh his summer's work for the O.A.C. oil the turnip root maggot. He then showed Some slides illustrating his work and some Other interesting slides of the O.A.C. camp­ us. The girls dame to the Forester’s Hall for the joint meeting. The Perth-Hur- 0n field day to be held in Seaforth on June 5th, 1954, Was discussed and Committees set up to form the teams for the team events.

RCA of the 21 AjTk, Regt, held their weekly training night on Tuesday this week, being Monday was a day Off, but the unit had to get in one more parade before going to Meaford this coming week-end, 0-0-0 The majority of the battery were out in the training ground doing gun de­ ployment under the direction of Lieut. R. P, Ritter. The mosquitos must have had first hand information that we were coming because they were out in full force. This cool spring air did not help any, some of the boys teeth were rattling so hard it sounded like a dice game on a Saturday njght. 0-0-0 The signallers were testing equip­ ment to take for the Meaford shoot, under the guidance of Bdr “Mighty” Stapleton, this included splicing wire, testing telephones and wireless sets. During this busy season a mighty roar was heard. It sounded like a bull moose had just broken a leg. As it turned out it was only Gnr, John Sjn- namon receiving a shock from one of the telephones as one of the boys had his finger on the button. In future all electric appliances will be kept away from said gunner, because, believe it or not, there is only one and a half volts in these telephones. 0-0-0 There was a baseball meeting last night in the town hall, and as it stands now this unit will have a team in the Intermediate "A" with the first game being held against Belgrave in the Wingham park on June 2. It promises to be good as this unit is starting from scratch, being without a team for so long. So come.out and see our wheel chair club. 0-0-0 Well, battery members, bear in mind that the Meaford shoot will be held this week-end and cars will be leaving the armouries Saturday afternoon and early Sunday morning about 6 a.m. So try to be on hand.

Air Force Band to Play at Clinton Spring Fair When it comes to sweet music the Royal Canadian Air Force Training Command Band ranks among the nat­ ion’s interpreters of either the full or­ chestral score, martial of syncopated music. The history of the Training Com­ mand dates back to the days of World War H, 1940, to be exact, when Flying Officer Clifford Hunt, CD, of Hamil­ ton, Ontario, was given the task of directing the band at Camp Borden. In 1944 the band proceeded overseas where it will be remembered by many' as the number 6 Bomber Group band. Today’s Training Command band has; a number of the original bandsmen on its rolls, and they, together with oth-; ers from an equally famous wartime band, the RCAF Overseas Headquar­ ters Band, formed the nucleus of the present band when it was formed in 1946. A musician’s band by any set stan­ dard, the Training Command band boasts of no less than 20 members who have played in military or other brass bands for most of their profes­ sional careers. To four of these at, least those careers began 'h.t the early age of eight and have continued un­ interrupted ever since.
