Despite the recent rain, the Wingham Advance -Times reports that there is no im- mediate danger of flooding in the Maitland River water- shed. A resource technologist 11111 from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority explained to the Advance - Times that the rain opened up the drainage ditches but until they're running full tilt, there should be no problem in the rivers. He also added that the cooler temperatures at night help to slow things down. The probability of serious flooding depends on how much more rain falls and whether the nights continue to be cool.

This despite the fact they were chosen as instructors because they were far better pilots than the rest of us. This despite the fact that many of the pilots they trained were dead, dead, in no time. None of this was any consolation. They still feel they missed something irrecoverable. Well I know what they missed. They missed the stupidity of senior officers who didn't know whether they were punched or bored. They missed long, deadly dull periods of training and short, intense moments•of sheer terror. They missed being shot at, physically by perfect strangers, and shot down, verbally, by people on their own side. They missed the utter blind confusion of the amateurs .in charge of the war. Migawd, those idiots lost an entire wing of Typhoons for a full week.

I air -hitched all over southern England, and northern France before I found the blasted thing, all on my own. 1_,et's see, have I left anything out? Well, maybe I have. First I'll take that back about stupid senior officers. There were plenty of those in Canada, too, so you didn't miss that, - Perhaps you missed the joy of climbing out of your aircrqft after an operation, lighting a cigarette and talking a wild blue streak of relief and let -down. I guess you missed the glory of heading off for a week's leave in a strange country, loaded with lust, a month's pay in your pocket, and the secret sweetness in your head of knowing that nobody would be shooting at you for seven days. And you did, I must admit, miss the girls. Not all of those fumblings in the blackout were frustrating. But I still say we were all crazy to volunteer and even vie to be killed. Must write a paper on that some day. Floppy Easter, from all of us Gerrard's. And, our stocking of new Spring mer- chandise is now complete...shop now, while selection is at its best.
