Mr. and Mrs, John McBuriiey and family, visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. young of Wingham. Mr, and Mrs. George Jones and On almost every farm, there is what has been termed a "BreaChy" cow. What is a breachy cow? It's one that recognizes no bounds, no fences, no boundaries, or no restraints. She is naturally inquisitive, naturally stub- born, but in most cases much more intelligent than her stall mates. There is something about this type of ani- mai that you cannot help but admire, while in the same breath you call her all the conceivable names at your disposal. Every time you drive down a con- cession, and you see a cow with an odd looking contrivance hung around her neck, you can bet that she is a firm believer the old saying that, "Faraway pastures look green." And further, you can feel pretty sure, that all the pokes, and other apparatus at- tached to her, will have little effect, when she wants to go to another green pasture, With typical human characteristics, this beast will put down her head, and push, till some- thing gives. Each of these cows has a different method of getting through fences. We once had a cow, that would walk up to a brand new net fence, rear up, and come down on top of the fence. She would then proceed to scramble across, kicking all the way, till the wire was stretched, and most of the staples pulled. Even barbed wire had little effect, There are others who prefer the "Get out and get under technique." They find a low spot along the fence line, get down on their knees and push. It has the same effect as the overhead method, pulled staples, stretched fences ,frayed tempers, If you have an old fence, with smooth wires, you'll find these are as easy as pie for an experienced fence buster. They just put their head through, and the rest of the cow follows, It's a real problem, It's perplexing, it's expen- sive, and it's a major problem on any farm. Different measures have been tried to prevent cattle from ignoring fences. Barbed wires strung along at the weak spots help, but they can result in blood poison, or serious injury. Electric fences are excellent, but some nimble footed cows have been known to jump over them. I once heard of a cow, that would push an- other animal on top of the electric fence, breaking it down, and then she would be able to cross in peace. I know of men, who in desperation, have tried shotgun shells filled with rock salt, wheat or peas. Some even left in the odd lead pellet. Then, with the cow reaching for another mouth- ful, careful aim was taken and the trigger pulled. You guessed it. The cow usually takes one huge lunge, and !lands completely through the fence, which is now beyond all repair, Some people try pokes, made of forked sticks, or three boards nailed in a triangular shape or even an old auto tire hung around the cow's neck by a chain. I have seen cows with one front leg tied to their neck, so that they couldn't get their head high enough to jump fences. Some of these methods work, others don't, depend- ing entirely upon the cow, As long as there are cows, as long as there are fences ,there will be cattle who sing "Don't fence me in," RCAF Clinton is A Flying Station Few people driving past RCAF Clinton would realize that this station is one of Canada's flying stations. This is understandable as there is no evidence of aircraft landing or taking off. However the Air Radio Officer School which is part of RCAF Olin- tea is a flying unit. In fact it is a inAue flying unit, being the only flying school in the British Common- wealth devoted solely to training air- crew for the role of the radio officer. You may ask,"If this is so, then where is the fying?" As there is no airfield at Clinton the Air Radio Officer School operates their squadron of Dakota aircraft. from the airfield at RCAF station, Centralia. Early each morning a bus leaves Clinton with flying instructors and flight cadets bound for the day's flying training, At Centralia the spec- ially designed radio trainer Dakotas are waiting to take the embryo radio officers up for another flying exer- cise. After flying briefing for the day's exercise, students and instruc- tors board the aircraft arid are soon roaring down the runway bound for the wide blue yonder, The normal training flight for the radio officer is seven hours' duration and covers a route of approximately one thousand miles over Northern and Southern Ontario. During this time the Student radio officers operate the complex radio and radar gear with which these radar trainer air- craft are equipped. In addition to the regular flying exercises starting at Centralia and ending at Centralia, long range training flights are flown which are limited only by Vancouver on the West and Halifax on the East. When the flight cadet of ARCS reach- es the time when he steps forward on graduation parade to receive his wings„ back of him is usually 130 hours of flying training on which to base his future operational exper- what they believed to be a purely technical radio school. Air Force Pay, June 14th., is an excellent opportunity for you to at- tend open house at Station Clinton and enquire of these staff officers as to what their job is. The chances are you will be speaking to a flying in- structor who has helped many young Canadians to win their wings and who, during the past month, has spent over one hundred hours in the air instructing the future aircrew radio officers of the RCAF, PUT THEM• ON YOUR REAR WHEELS NOW!
