A/V/M Sharp speaker at RCAF Station Centralia Firemen donate gifts to Children's Aid Soc. Monday evening, December 13, speaking to the Officers of RCAF Station Centralia, AN/M Sharp, DFC, CD, the Command- er of the new integrated Training Command Headquarters in Win- nipeg, Manitoba, reviewed some of the reasons that brought about the formation of Canada's inte- grated Armed Forces. He said that most of the money of the Armed Forcep fixed bud- get was being used for opera- tions, and maintenance of men, equipment and bases. It was evi- dent that by 196'7 there would Why do we have a Christmas tree? CONTRIBUTED BY AN OLD SUBSCRIBER I was talking to a teenager one day and she was all excited about Christmas and gifts and all that goes with Christmas, and then she ended up by saying "and we've got to get a tree from somewhere, buy one I guess". I asked her why was the tree so important, and she answered, "I don't know but you have to put •the gifts somewhere and that's where they are put at Christ- mas." Again I asked why? couldn't they just as easily be put on the table, and she admitted they could be, but it wouldn't be right somehow, and I wondered how many children there are who don't know why we have a Christmas tree. Boys and girls, your Christ- mas tree has a world of meaning to it. In the first place you have an evergreen representing ever- lasting life. Your star or the angel represents the star that guided the shepherds to the man- ger where Jesus lay when he was born, and the angel repre- sents the host of angels that the shepherds heard singing "Glory to God in the Highest and on earth Peace goodwill toward men". Do you remember how the wise men bore gifts to Jesus and presented them to Him, so, too, do you give gifts with all your love and put them under the tree in remembrance of the greatest gift to man, the Gift of God's own Son. Mothers and fathers be sure to tell your children why we have a tree for Christmas. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas. be absolutely no money for new equipment, unless it came from a reduced overhead. The Glassco Commission recommended greater business efficieecy An all governmental departments, which included the Armed Forces. These two reasons, plus the technicological advance s which seemed to make the three branches pf the Service obsolete, caused the Minister of National Defence to go ahead and inte- grate the Armed Forces under one Chief of Defence Staff, nam- ing A/V/I4 FR Miller, OBE, to the position. It must be appreciated, A/V/M Sharp continued, that fundamental changes had to come from the top level and it was here the first steps were taken. Under the Chief of Defence Staff, four major branches of the service were formed: Operations, Tech- nical Services, Personnel and Comptroller. Many Ills of the old Tri Service setup were elimi- nated, one of which was the un- healthy competition between the Services for funds. Another was the dissolvement of over 300 Tri Service committees, which in it- self was an exercise in poor management. The general policy of the Military was set by a min- isterial committee system, but the Service policy was set and ad- ministered by the Military within the bounds set down by the Com- mittee. So great was the impact of the integrated concept, that at a meeting of the Commonwealth Chief of Staff in England a dis- cussion of military organization, Exercise UNISEN, was the main topic at the conference withCan- ada's delegation spearheading the discussions. A great deal of in- terest has been generated by Canada's move, both inside the Commonwealth and by other friendly nations, maybe even by some less friendly nations. At the beginning some basic criteria were set down as a guide. The function of the Mili- tary in Canada was spelled out, Commands were set up, with each Command responsible for one role, and the Command had the authority to pursue its prime function within recommendations of the Glassco Commission, In June 1965, the Minister gave his approval for the formation of an integrated Training Com- mand, with a target date for functional control by Januray 1, 1966. All training units of the Army, Navy and Air Force, oth- er than operational training, were to come under one single Train- ing Commander. A/V/M Sharp was chosen as the Commander Designate and his staff was gath- ered from all three services. Training Command was charged basically with the selection and training of men of the ranks, and selection and training of officers. A further task was also given to them, a 15% reduction in personnel and cost at the Com- mand level and a 30% saving was to be effected in the training overhead. These savings were to be channelled into the operational fields. To carry out its main functions, Training Command established a 3-prong organization. The first is for the actual training require- ment, the second for the support of training and the third for the future developments' of training. A/V/M Sharp said that the challenge given to Training Com- mand could and would be met, but would require careful study and scientific analysis of the 16 bases under his command to see where the saving could be effected, and still maintain the high standard of training enjoyed at the present time. He asked for questions and ans- wered them promptly and direct- ly. He stated that the modern Armed Forces should be prepar- ed to make changes and should accept changes so that the new- est and most up to date military techniques could be instituted. A/V/M Sharp is in Clinton to- day and will proceed to Camp Borden on Wednesday to con- tinue his survey of the units under his command. Future bright —Continued from front page to be the strongest this year. There are 181 boys registered this year as opposed to 183 last year. Eighteen teams are oper- ating in the league. In other activities members were informed that bowling has increased in popularity as has figure skating. This year the figure skating carnival will be held in February, the earliest this has ever been held in Exeter. The reason given for this is that it will allow members more time to practice for examinations following the carnival. In pre- vious years members practiced for the carnival and at the same time had to try to practice for their examinations. Mrs. G.

The Fire Hall of RCAF Statical Centralia, as is traditional for the local fire halls of cities and towns, take on certain public spirited projects to assist local service clubs and agencies in their work. One of the most come mon of these projects takes place just before the Christmas season when the firemen gather used and repairable toys from the local residents. The Fire Hall takes on an atmosphere of a toy work- shop where the firemen, standing by for the bell that will trigger them into action, become "Santa Mrs. Shoebottom Mrs. Clarence Shoebottom, 65, died Thursday, December 9 at her late residence Lot 9 Con 13 London Township.

Wagons, with broken or bent wheels, are straightened, plastic toys are mended, baby doll carriages are realigned, and dolls are washed, scrubbed, dressed and give n hairdos. Wait a minute! Dolls washed, scrubbed, dressed and given hairdos, that's going a bit too far. The spirit is there, but the talent is lacking and the time could be used to better advantage on more masculine activities, such as getting that earth mover into operating condition, Coming to the rescue of the firemen, which is a twist in itself, the Girl Guides Company of Huron Park took on the responsibility of dressing and grooming the dolls. Big ones, little ones, blondes, brunettes and red heads, all received a thorough bathing and the latest in hair styles. The Guides made new clothes and dressed them, and made them appear 4 'tore new". The toys, repaired, painted and put into good mechardeal order, together with the spruced up dolls, were presented to the Huron County Children's Aid So- ciety, Goderich, by Fire Chief FS Sheard and Sgt Lawson of the RCAF Fire Hall Centralia early in December so they would be ready for Santa Claus when he makes his annual visit.
