Blinding snow squalls that night made the roads too hazardous for the cadets to travel. Hence, no news report appeared in last week's Advance -Times. Tue.. -Weather- y!Os much •.,more -pleasant last Wednesday 'evening. The cadets were out in full force at the Armouries, concentrating on the various winter electives. The cadets' progress was closely monitored by a distinguished guest. John Chippa Sr., the area representative for the Air Cadet League of Canada, visited the squadron to observe first-hand the many varied activities currently going on. The cadets involved in target shooting completed the required marksmanship practices as set out by the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association. The cadets were divided into two teams. Under the watchful eye of Civilian Instructor Kevin Stewart, each cadet shot a total of 30 targets in the final exercise. Sgt. David MacRae of the ,pink team achieved the highest score with 9.6 per cent bull's eye hits, followed by Sgt. David Cayley of the Blues with a total of 93 per cent. Marksmanship badges will be awardedto qualifying cadets at a later date. The three remote-controlled model glider airplanes are nearly completed. Each plan is being built by a group of cadets. The balsa wood components are carefully cut out, fitted and: glued together. All that remains to be done is for the several parts to be assembled and the aircraft to be "skinned". The cadets' knowledge of the structure and many parts of an aircraft is reinforced during the construction phase. The group leaders for this exercise are Flt. -Sgt. Jeff Dennis, Cpl. Sean Murphy and LAC Scott Beer. Capt. Mac Anderson is the supervisory officer. Cl Dan Bisson taught his team of cadets how to survive in the wild. The class learned` how to make deadfalls, set animal snares, weave fish traps and how to clean game. The survival specialist showed the cadets that, in effect, he was imitating the hunting methods as originally practised by Canada's native peopled CI Sisson stressed that these activities are only to occur in case of emergencies . and lectured his charges on the legal aspects of Ontario's fish and gamelaws. The squadron will hold its annual winter bush training exercise at the Whitechurch wilderness camp this coming weekend. More specific information about this event will be forthcoming at tomorrow's regular parade. The cadets will meet in the Armouries on Wednesday, from 1900 to 2130 hours..
