At Clinton CFB
Armed Forces Day provides
first integrated display
The first fully integrated
Artned Forces Day in Canada
vas held at CFO Clinton on Sat-
4rdaytoLast year the principle
was adopted of observing Aruied
Forces Day on the same date
ail across Canada, on an annual
baiis. The date for such an
, observance was established as
the second Saturday in June.
Armed Forces Day is intend-
ed as an opportunity for the
Canadian public to observe and
recognize the achievements of
the men, and women in the
Forces. To this end, Canadian
Forces Base Clinton invited the
public to take an inside look at
the Base, to observe first-hand
the home of the Radar and Com-
munications School and the
School of Instructional Tech-
nique of the Canadian Armed
Forces. In so doing it was their
hope that the public would gain
a deeper understanding of the
'role of the Forces in Canada and
the world today.
The activities of the after
.noon were started by a 25 -gun
salute fired by the 21st Field
Artillery Regiment RCA(M). •
The public was then free to
move through the main areas of
interest.
In the sports field there was
a track and field competition
between CFB Clinton and CFB
London.
• On the parade square the 21st
• \ set up two 105 m.m. howitzer,
\and a command post vehicle /as
display. The precision drill
team and the Base band gave
stiree performances throughout
the afternoon. -
The recreation centre. and
he hangar were used for static
and club displays. Each of the
major training centres and
schools of the Base were repre-
Seated as well as the extra -cur-
ricular clubs.
To finish the afternodnjn
true Air Force tradition there s
was a flypast of three Expedi-
tors from CFB Borden.
The afternoon was a good
indication of what can be ex-
pected of the new armed forces

Fr. Durand honored

Some 300 people gathered
at St.*Patrick's Rornan Catholic
Church, Dublin, on Sunday ev-
ening, June 2 in honor of their
parish priest, Rev. F. R. Dnrand.

ed 40 years in the priesthood.
During the evening present-
ations were made by representa-
tives of the Catholic Women's
League, Holy. Name Society,
Altar Society and the Father
Stephen Council Knights of

Dead fish alarm farmers.
Farmers whose lands border
on the Middle Maitland river
in Morris Township are concern-
ed about the large numbers of
.dead fish floating on the water
at present.
The greatest concentration
of carcasses appears to be at
the Stone School bridge on the
second line of Morris, but dead
fish can be spotted along the
river for several miles upstream.
Since the river is the water-
ing place for hundreds of cows
and beef cattle in the township
there is serious concern that the
fish may have died because of
pollution from further upstream.
At some points masses of green
,scilm•have also appeared.
O PI*
The same conditions have
been noted at some points in
the Upper Thames River, near
Sr. Marys and conservation ex-
perts there have blamed the,
weather conditions, although'
they have not entirely ruled out
the possibility of pollution. It
is believed that low 'Water
levels and extremely high temp
erature and humidity have re-
duced the oxygen content of the
water to the point where the
fish cannot survive.
In Morris many of. the dead
fish are large black bass, along
with suckers and several variet-
ies of smaller fish.

Carp capers
•
create crisis
Tuesday morning we had a
rush call from a householder on
Victoria Street who informed
the Advance -Times that two
seals and a pelican were putting
on a private show on the waters
of the muddy Maitland just be-
lowher kitchen window.
. Knowing for certain that the
lady never touches a drop we
hastened to the scene armed
with the.faithful catnera.
Thirty minutes of waiting amid
'tall weeds and blood -hungry
mosquitoes under a 95 -degree
sun rewarded us with an unusual
sight.
• The pelican had departed
andit must be assumed the
bird. which was described as
having a four -foot wing span,
must have been a crane or a'
mud hen.
However, we don't blame
our informant for thinking that
a couple of escapees from a
zoo were visiting town. It
tumed out that the carp were
having a'fiel'd day. We watch*
ed them playing and jumping
all over the place, usually in.
pairs. At one time we could
see ten monstrous fish out of
the water at the same time.
They were rolling and twisting
in the water and then would
leap into the air like pairs of
wrestlers. The noise of their
splashing frolic could be easily
heard at the top of the fairly
high river bank.
Although they were in and
out of the water too rapidly for
a usable camera shot, we did
watch several of the big fish
swimming close to our vantage
point and estimate the largest
to be close to three feet in
length.
