On Wednesday, March 22, War-
rant Officer Jack Bode from Canadi-
an Forces Base, London, made a
special trip to Wingham to present
the Silver Wings Trophy to 543
Squadron.
The trophy was won earlier this
year by the squadron drill team.
"You placed first in the small
squadron drill team category of
Southwestern Ontario," comment-
ed WO Bode as he addressed the
cadets, "because of your commit-
ment to excellence."
He urged the cadets to continue
their fine work and praised the offi-
cers and civilian staff for their lead-
ership.
WO Bode then proceeded to
share with the cadets his vast
knowledge on the finer points of
dress, deportment and correct posi-
' Honing of badges. His advice was
quite timely and helpful as on Sun-
day, April 9, the squadron travelled
to CFB London to participate in the
Southern Ontario Regional finals.
The members of the drill team
will compete against other regional
sci �li�irr� wiit•i rs. The remaining
cadets also will be active, partici-
pating in events such as volleyball,
basketball, gymnastics and run-
ning.
As always is the case with cadet
sports activities, the emphasis was
on team spirit, fair play and having
a good time.
Wingham's Branch 180 of the
Royal Canadian Legion, the princi-
pal sponsor of 543 Squadron, will
be donating an official squadron
banner to the air cadets next week.
The flag dedication. ceremony
will be led by Legion Padre Capt:
Douglas Madge and assisted by
members of the Legion -Air Cadet
Liaison Committee.
The event will take. place on
Wednesday, April 19, at 8 p.m. in
the Armouries building. Parents,
friends and those interested in
attending this event are cordially
invited.
The squadron will be conducting
its regular parade in the Armouries
on Wednesday, April 12, from 7 to

TEESWATER FIRE
In December of 1895, flames com-
pletely wrecked a large frame
building owned by Thomas Weir
and occupied by H. McDonald,
merchant tailor and W. Cousins,
jeweller. Also destroyed was the
adjoining shoe shop of George
Colvin. The fire gained a slight
foothold in the large brick block
owned by W. Little and occupied
by John McLean, general merchant,
but was speedily extinguished. Ori-
gin of the fire was unknown. Mr.
McDonald lost $900 worth of stock;

tion.
A total of 45 men gather every
Monday evening as they have for
the past 20 years to practise songs
for their annual shows.
The Harmonaires come from all
walks of life and are from not only
Mount Forest, but Harriston,
Palmerston, Listowel, Teeswater,
Clifford, Ayton, Hanover, Walker-
ton, Grand Valley and even as far
away as Milverton.
Within the Harmonaires are two
quartets. "Here Comes Treble" is
famous across the province and has
appeared in the United States. With
their unique style of humor, they
often have people rolling in the
aisles with laughter. •
"The Chordial Four" are four
"chordial" fellows, who love the
fraternal aspect of quartet singing
and travel the banquet circuit to
bring smiles and joy to their audi-
ences.
This year's guest quartet is called
"Show Biz" and it is from
Rochester, New York. These four
'fellows have been bringing enjoy-
ment to audiences for many years.
This year the Mount Forest Har-
monaires' show theme is "Robin
Hood," a new venture in comedy.
This year also marks the first time
the Harmonaires will be hosting a
two -night performance in Mount
Forest. In previous years, the Har-
monaires have performed one night
in Mount Forest, then taken the
show on the road to centres such as
Walkerton, Mildmay and Wing -
ham.
"This yea'r's theme' promises to
shed a whole new light on the
romantic era of Sherwood Forest.
Enjoy the, popular songs of Robin
Hood and discover that historians
were not completely accurate. You
have to be there to believe it on
April 21 or 22 in the Mount Forest
High School.
