AvileivAlWk tryfr: By Rudy Hooftman 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 9:30 p.m. All cadets are to be in uni- Service held April 5 for Murray James Funeral service was held at two o'clock Wednesday, April 5, for Murray David James, conducted by Rev.

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.

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.
