Unfortunately, I, have not read the article which sparked Mr. Smiley's reaction but I- would have expected a writer with his LET'S IALK Capes, Mary Deveaux, Marilyn McComb. ( Photo courtesy of The Milverton Sun) LET'S TALK to the Editor Channel anger talent and following to get the facts straight before deriding the best reunion his erstwhile friends have had. - This was the sixth major Re- union, not the 30th. Until' 1975, and beginning in 1950, a small group of dedicated people in Toronto (I am not one of them) have unself- ishly spent much of their time and a lot of their money every five years to organize a gathering of old friends who happened to share an unforgettable experi- ence in the fast receding past. PIanning for the 1975 Reunion began late last year and our friends in Regina volunteered to carry the load. They did a mag- nificent job, quite surpassing the city slickers from Toronto in the scale, scope and quality of ar- rangementi. The main reason for the Regina locale was to place the festivities within reach of many Westerners who have been un- able to attend previous reunions in Toronto. --Does -Mr. Smiley seriously be- lie e: t.az.sojurn.behind,barbed wire was the only real thing ,that ever happened to those attending the Reunion? He should have s taken the trouble to find out the registrants included several medical doctors, at least two mil- lionaires; many executives, at least several score of manage- ment types and a major -general of the Canadian Armed Forces. Mr. Smiley's article would leave the uninformed reader with the notion that the Ex -Air Force P.O.W. association is some kind of exclusive former officers' club. The only criterion for mem- bership is to have been a member of the -RCAF, RAF, RNZAF etc., and to have been a prisoner of war. As to the innuendo that only the fat cats from Toronto could attend, I can only say nonsense. Many planned their annual va- cation around the three and one-half -day weekend. Mr. Smiley seems to think there is something odd about tak- ing wives to such functions. I wonder why? Our wives did not just tag along. They were active, enthusiastic participants and seemed to enjoy every moment. Only one day of the festivities was in Moose Jaw, not the entire Reunion, as implied. The Base Commander of CFB Moose Jaw led a committee of hard working officers who demonstrated inge- nuity, thoughtfulness and excel- lent taste in all arrangements. An airshow by the Snowbirds was the highlight of the weekend. All of the officers and support person- neI went out of their way to make our visit memorable, as indeed it was. During the three and one-half days of greeting old friends and making new ones I„ saw no TO- dence of maudlinism. Unless, IB'r. Smiley would care to so describe the many glistening eyes at the cenotaph Sunday morning after the Last Post, followed by a Snowbird fly past, led by the Base Commander. Join us in 1980 Mr. Smiley and tell it like it is! BOB HARROW, coach manager of the Milverton Suns also coaches men's hockey in the winter and squeezes a 250 -acre. dairy farm into his schedule. .

The famed flight landed 27 miles south of Lafayette, per- suading the U.S. Postal Serv- ice it would be wise to aban- don the nail -by -balloon idea. to good purpose By REV. W. LEE TRUMAN A clean-cut young man, well dressed, wanted to talk to me about something that was wrecking his life. After almost an hoer of evading the problem, -4)e blurted out that he, had an uncontrollable temper. He had just 'lost his job because of his anger and this was not the first time it had happened. Jim had almost as difficult a time adm3itting this to me as he did to himself. The healthy thing . was that he was more' willing -to do something about his problem which was vio- lently distrupting his life. Jim had to . relearn a lot which started with the fact that anger is not wrong or. that it is bad. It is a healthy, God-given emotion, and I sin- cerely wish that -more people would become angry over so- cial injustice, pornography, drugs and corruption, just to name a few. He had to learn that anger can motivate all of us to become our best selves, to do things that we do not think possible, to cause us to risk and to protect our fami- 1 0411et of 1U 1* t eventual el f l ike which comes when the inflamed emotions 0001 and a perrson ftwif he bas mak* fool of himself. Tbis lower the self- image causes the person to be more susceptible, to ir,rita- lion, and so it is a vicious sir - de. When you feel that every- thing is going wit** and you know the pressure building, what can you do? Try this. Take the time to sit down- and make a list of every single thing that sorely irritates you. Take,a good, logical look at each iters listed. See if there is something that can be done to eliminate a particular an- noyance. Find someone, ei- ther a . professional or a very trusted, understanding friend with whom to go over your grievances. Tell them that you need a good emotional boiler drainage; and you would like to look at some of the deep things inside of you. If you feel uncomfortable in doing this, sit down and write it in a letter. Then, either tear up the letter, ar if you must. mail it, mail it to me in care of this paper. The value is that you now know what it is that : sets you Wand that is a good part of the battle. If your temper gets out of hand and you blow, go and face the situation, straighten- ing it out as soon as possible. Do not let yourself go into the tailspin of tself-pity or brood- ing. This only lets your guilt set you up for the next situ- ation. ituation. There is no need for your life to be wrecked because of anger unless you let it do so.
