Mr. Chippa also inspected the squadron's office facilities, basement rifle range and. progress on the special project. The entire squadron practised for the annual inspection which will be held in May. CI Debbie Campbell, WO2Mark Adams, Flt. Sgt. Mar- jorie Campbell and FIL Sgt. Erika Hooftman were in charge of the drill maneuvers --All- cadets are trying their best. With additional practice between now and the inspection date, the squadron will be ready for the premier formal event of the year. To show a united presence at the upcoming intersquadron Golden Triangle sports, range and drill competitions, the cadets will have the f prtunity to purchase special squa on sweatshirts. These will be red in color with white lettering and feature the squadron's emblem. The approximate cost per sweatshirt is $20. While the wearing of the shirts is certain to boost the squadron's "esprit -de -corps", it is emphasized that the purchase of this item is entirely voluntary.

How do children get infected with AIDS? — Mrs. P.R., Smith Falb, Ont. The majority of children who have AIDS acquired the disease from their infected mothers before birth. Some children contracted AIDS from the transfusion of infected blood or blood products. In other words, and this is a very important point --not one case of AIDS in children was caused by casual contact. Not one case was caused by touching, biting, hugging, playing or by sharing food or utensils. A Hopefully, with the screening of blood products and prenatal screening of mothers at risk for the AIDS virus, pediatric AIDS will remain rare in Canada. Unfortun- ately, in some major cities in the United States and other countries, there are many women of child- bearing age who are infected with the AIDS virus. AIDS in children will result from this spread.
