Where ptsff MeXOer4 of OSU give briefings prior to tests, they read front cards so all candidates are sure, f receiving the same instrectipas. Because all tests are oblective and do pot rely on any instructor's opinion, the .te are easily ,converted to a stanine scale. One of the interesting testing devices, is an airplane copkpit satiated in a circular room on which various landmarks are painted on a wall. The airplane can be inoyed to any position in the room by Use of the two foot pedals and the stick, The candidate is told to which landmark to point the plane and is then marked on what mistakes he may make in reaching this point. A similar setup is located in another room. A circle is marked on a panel and the can- didate must manoeuvre the pedals and stick to keep a moving beam of light in this circle as much as possible. Again he is marked on the number of seconds the light is within the small circle and how many foot and hand move- ments he had to make to keep it there. A real test of concentration and thinking ability comes in another room in a mathematical test. The candidate is given simple figures in fairly quick order and must add the first two together and give his an- swer and then he is given a third figure which he must add to the second one and again come up with the answer for these two, and then he is given the fourth figure to add to the third, etc., etc. GROUP TESTS In the officer selections ex- ercises ° the candidates are as- sessed individually by person- nel of OSU. They are interviewed as to their background and also must give a two-minute speech to determine their ability to think on their feet. As well they are broken into groups of from six to nine where they first go through a "leaderless phase" in which they are judged on the logic of their dis cuss ion within the group and their relation with each other member of the group. The team is given specific Receives button for long service George Vriese, Imperial Esso agent at Exeter, has suc- cessfully completed a three- week agency management train- ing course sponsored by Imper- ial Oil Limited in Toronto.

Exeter 235,27$2 situations whtc4 it is asked to work out and individual Men?, bers are jedged on their egg- tributiori to reaching the spill- tion. Paxton explained the green and individual isnettest, ed on what solution is reached, but rather how ft is attained. The "command phase" comes next and a. leader is appoipted out of the group. Each candidate is then viewed as to how he acts as a leader and also how he gets along with the other leaders as they are subsequent- ly appginted. Some of the main ideas behind the various tests given are to measure a candidate's deter- mination, initiative and self confidence. Candidates are also given medical and ppychiatric tests. Following the tests, the marks of the candidate are tabulated and are reviewed by a selection board, generally consisting of three men. Quite often the three consist of the Commanding Officer, G/C L. H. Randall; S/L Paxton and an- other senior Centralia Officer. There are about 1,8Q0 can- didates processed at Centralia each year, S/L Paxton reported and slightly less than 50% are rejected for officer training. Of the high school students who seek to enrol under the ROTP, about one-third are eliminated in the summer before they enter college. Some of these of course do not attain high enough stand- ings to be accepted by univer- sities, while others do not meet the qualifications needed by the RCAF. Figures maintained at OSU also indicate that top marks do not guarantee that a candi- date will become an officer in the RCAF. An indication of the rigid officer training is pointed out by the fact that past statis- tics show that the top student wishing to become a pilot has a '72% chance of becoming an officer, while the top candidate in the radio navigator course has a chance of '73%. These figures are closely aligned with passing percent- ages found in other nation's air forces as well. There are 21 officers asso- ciated with OSU at Centralia and the students have about two weeks with them before they are either accepted or rejected by the selection board. The OSU staff are equipped stated he will run, as will Reeve Stewart Webb. Councillors Emerson Des- jardine and Howard Green have another year left in their terms. members are Ross Brown, Sid Baker, George Clarke and Ralph Webber. One of the Grand Bend mem- bers who will run is W. F. B. ManLaren, veteran chairman. He is in favor of the new setup, but indicated there will be a lot of problems to iron out. He has, served the resort about 12 years. Wally and Ross Desjardine have stated they will not stand, while the decision of Don Flear, Harold Skipper and Bob Jen- nison is not known. Grand Bend will have to find a replacement for Councillor Orval Wassmann. Ian Coles has — Continued from front page reported as saying they will all seek re-election. Little is known about the situation in McGillivray either, as no one has made any public s tatements about resigning• from the council. Last year Reeve Tom Hall said he would step aside if any of his sitting members wanted to step up. None did. Both Hay and McGillivray will hold their nominations Fri- day afternoon. Exeter and Hen- sail will be Friday night. ANOTHER MONDAY Stephen, similar to Usborne, will hold their meetings on Mon» day. Reeve Glenn Webb will be in the running of course, announc- ing last week he will also seek the wardenship of Huron County again. Jim Hayter, Cecil Desjardine and Ed Hendrick are expected to run again, while Joe Dietrich said he hadn't thought much about it yet. A big change will also come about in the school board setup as Grand Bend will join the township. Three members will be from the township and two from the resort. Stephen chairman Harold Fahner indicated he has been asked to stand, but hasn't made up his mind. He indicated two members say they will not run, but didn't say which two. Other Trucker acquitted Dam delayed — Continued from front page OMB as to payment of the bal- ance of the project's costs by the participating munici- palities. As time was getting short, the Authority approached Mr. Kennedy, chairman of the OMB. Unfortunately, time has now run out on us, we are not in a position to advise Mr. Ken- nedy of the exact final figure to be paid by the Authority. "This whole subject is to be discussed in detail at the meet- ing of the Authority executive on November 25, after which recommendations will be pre- sented to the Authority mem- bers for their consideration." ARCA hear biology men On November 17, the Ausa.ble River Conservation Authority held a dinner and "information" meeting for Authority members at the Hotel Thedford. The guest speaker was Dr. W. A. Kennedy, Director of the London Biological Station of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Dr. Kennedy outlined his position in the scientific arm of the fisheries board of the federal government. Although the federal govern- ment's main interest is in sea fisheries, they have some con- cern with problems affecting the fishing industry of various provinces. A twenty-year study of Great Slave Lake is nearing completion. This commenced in 1945 when this lake was opened for fishing and is con- cerned with the results of fish- ing on the average size and age of fish caught over a period of time. One of the first jobs of the Winnipeg Laboratory was the control of parasites carried by pike affecting the white fish in Manitoba, making it unfit for sale on the United States market. This was accomplished by reducing the size of the pike which could not then harbor the parasite. At present the Fisheries Re- search Board are acting as agents to the Great Lakes Fish- ing Commission in an attempt to control sea lamprey. The first attempts were made by electric barriers and achieved only moderate success. In addition to these barriers, a chemical is now being intro- duced into the creeks where the lamprey spawn and spend their parasitic period. Extreme care must be taken so that the fish will not be affected. It is felt that the chemical control has been quite successful, but at the present time, due to the high cost, experiments are tak- ing place in Lake Superior only. When the method has been perfected further, it is hoped that it can be extended to the entire Great Lakes system. Dr. Kennedy illustrated his talk with a very fine film show- ing how the lamprey control work is carried out. The speaker was thanked by Lorne Hay, Hensall, chairman of ARCA's Wildlife Advisory Board. Finding beer — Continued from front page to remain over the white line, where he was hit by a car com- ing up a grade on Highway 84. The cars collided and damage was estimated at $500. FOUND GUILTY John Elliott, Ailsa Craig, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of making unnecessary noise, was found guilty by Magistrate Hays and fined $20 and costs of $'7.50. He was charged by Constable Lloyd Hodgins and defended by Peter L. Raymond of MacKenzie & Raymond. The lawyer pointed out it was possible the officer could have mistaken other noises on Main Street for the noise which he testified was created by Elliott on Gidley Street during noon hour. He also said the Constable's own cruiser may have added to the noise; and at any rate any noise by Elliott had not been caused deliberately, but rather by his accelerating in an effort to get over a curb. Mr. Hays said he felt there had been some unnecessary noise and "my belief is that the object of the whole thing was to draw the attention of the high school students who would be on the street at this noon- hour time". Business Director IneleettaliMMeamealdrinallieNieinerNeeneleellefeetSeleffeeMentneaSe — Continued from front page it appeared as though the car had hit the truck at the inter- section. OPP Cpl. C. J. Mitchell, who took photographs at the scene, also testified, and replied to Mr. Raymond's questioning by saying it appeared as though both vehicles had arrived at almost the same instant. He said he could not establish cer- tainty as to which vehicle struck which. SEEKS ACQUITTAL Mr. Raymond then moved for an acquittal for his client on the evidence, noting there was no concrete proof as to which vehicle did the hitting. He told the court that Bran- der may have been confused as to distances and his speed due to the fact he admitted IT'S NOT TOO LATE ALVIN WALPER PROVINCIAL LICENSED AUCTIONEER For your sale, large or small, courteous and efficient service at all times.

This year's league will be made up of Forest, Seaforth and the Lucari-Ilderton Com- bines, the latter being group champions last year. Each team will probably face the other two teams eight times with a six- teen-game home schedule. Lucan-Ilderton will play their first home game December 4 with Seaforth supplying the op- position. The defending champion combines will again be the team to beat this year as they have strengthened their al ready powerful squad by the acquisi- tion of several overage junior players from St. Marys, having three or four beers an hour before the crash. "There is no concrete evi- dence that the truck was not already in the intersection or almost through it when the im- pact happened," he noted. He also stated that on the other hand it had not been proven that Broom's truck had completely entered the inter- section; there was reasonable doubt concerning who had enter- ed the intersection first; or if the accident had even happened in the intersection at all. He also suggested Broom did not have an opportunity to yield the right of way as there was no time to make up his mind to yield or not to yield. Mr. Hays said Brander, who had been working on a bridge construction job near the inter- section, knew of the dangerous intersection. He pointed out also that the signs warning of the danger should have been a guide to both drivers. Before handing down his ver- dict, Magistrate Hays said the corner may have been so dan- gerous that Broom found it difficult to yield the right of way. Both Mr. Hays and Mr. Coch- rane commended Usborne Township for having the temp- orary danger signs erected near the intersection due to the poor visibility because of the corn field.
