was shown by Mrs. McGuire
when she read an account of
ACWWs. Mrs. Marian Futton of
Manitoba is Canada's area vice-
president. She was given a mem-
bership in the WI when she
arrived as a war bride.
Mrs. Futton decided that an
organization which doesn't ]mow
you but is willing to give a mem-
bership anyway, must be a
worthwhile organization to join.
In 1965 she was elected Mani-
toba's president and in 1970 she
became Federated President.
She is now serving her last year
of a three-year period as area
vice-president for ACWW.

Brussels will
name councillor
in September
Brussels council will be short
one member for another month
as no replacement has been'
chosen yet after the resignation
of Frank Stretton on July 4.
Mr. Stretton resigned on doc '
tor's advice but council did not
accept the resignation until July
16 because some members hoped
he would change his mind.
There are two letters from
interested residents but some
members want time to consider
them. Reeve Cal Kreuter, how-
ever, said he had make up, his
mind and that either of the appli-
cants would be acceptable.
Council meets again Sept. 12
and will appoint the replacement
then.

MACHINERY is at work installing services in the first phase of the Maitland Estates

new housing units on the market 'ill Wingham.
Air cadets are forming
Wingham flight this fall
Despite a lack of local sponsor-
ship, plans are underway to form
a Wingham branch of air cadets
this fall.
The branch will be Flight B of
the Listowel squadron and will
provide local young people in-
terested in the program but lack-
ing transportation to Listowel
with an opportunity to get in-
volved.
Capt. Earl Mino of Wroxeter,
commanding officer of the Listo-
wel squadron, .said last week the
'program is "in ,the process of
forming" in Wingham. A recruit-
ing drive is planned next month.
Although the group has been
granted access to the Armouries
building for its meetings, it has
had difficulty finding a sponsor.
This is not a serious problem,
Capt. Mino indicated, as the
:flight can be sponsored through
• the .Listowel Legion, which spon-
sors the squadron there. Still, he
would like to find a local group:
A sponsor's obligations arenot
heavy, Capt. Mino noted. Al-
•though:the sponsor is supposed to
chip in $10 per cadet, that doesn't
mean it must reach into its
pocket and ante,up the money, he
said. "I don't believe in working
that way. We don't in Listowel."
The money raised through "tag
days", equivalent to the Scouts'
apple days, almost covers the
rent for the Listowel Armouries,
he pointed out, and the load
should be even lighter here since
he understands they will not be
charged for use of Wingham
Armouries.
So far only the Wingham
branch of the Legion has been ap-
proached regarding sponsorship
and "they. never really gave an
answer," Capt. Mino said. He is,
considering asking the local
Kinsmen Club'.
. Don Montgomery, president of
the Wingham Legion, later said
the question of sponsorship had
"just been left up ina air." "We
were starting up a pipe Eland and
didn't Want totake on too much,"
he explained. Since "then, he
noted, the pipe band apparently
fell through. He indicated the
Legion would be open to being
reapproached.
The captain would be happy to
see at least 12 new recruits from
Wingham ,join the air cadets this
fall, but feels there is already a
solid base to build on. Three
cadets from this area currently
attend meetings in Listowel and
three more were attending regu-
larly until they lost transporta-
tion, he said.
He gives a lot of credit to Jack
Goodall for laying the ground-
, work to establish a local flight.
Mr. Goodall was' an officer in the
militia until it was disbanded and
is now unofficially involved with
the air cadets.
Lieut. Dave Moir, currently
serving as one of the instructors
in Listowel, will be in charge of
the Wingham flight, Capt. Mino
said. He noted Mr. Moir "started
in the cadets."
Beirnore
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Jeffray and
Rebecca were Sunday guests of
Mr. and. Mrs. Arnold Jeffray.
A miscellaneous shower was
held for Ruth MacAdam at the
Presbyterian Church, Belmore.
Friends, neighbors and relatives
attended. Many gifts were
received, including a cooking
ware set. Games were played and
everyone enjoyed a lunch of
angel food eake, ice cream and
punch.
A reunion of the McIntosh -Bel -
more Friendship Club took place
on Sunday in McIntosh Church.
MEMBERSHIP OPEN
Membership in the air cadets is
open to anyone between the ages
of 13 and 19. The Listowel
squadron, named "Centen
naires" after the aerobatic group
Canada had during the cen-
tennial, has only three female
cadets among its total of 30, -but
Capt. Mino said some other
squadrons have recruited "more
girls than boys" recently.-
The
ecently,..The cadets are taught leader-
ship, citizenship and discipline he
said. They also participate in
sports arid may take the ground
school requirements toward a
pildt's licence. •
The Listowel squadron, he said,
"goes heavy on sports" and has
won the overall trophy at the
Golden Triangle sports meet for
air cadet squadrons during each
of the past two years. It also
teaches small arms handling and
safetwy and has a band, though
this' has a problem With insuf-
ficient numbers.
The squadron draws recruits
from --Clifford, Palmerston, At-
wood, Wingham, Wroxeter,
Gorrie and Whitechurch in addi-
tion to Listowel. Other air cadet
squadrons are located in Mitchell
and Hanover.
The cadets normally meet
every Wednesday, night and,
though the meetings have, tradi-
tionally •been suspended ,during
the summer, they are consider-
ing continuing right through the
summer next year, Capt. Mino
said.
"We like to get involved in the
community we're in," heex-
plained, and the .involvement
with community activities may
turn it into a 12 month operation.
In Listowel, he noted, they have
taken part in parades, sidewalk
sales, festivals and other events.
"We've never had any com-
plaints," he said.'"The cadets are
disciplined quite well and it
shows."
captain said. The first went to
Holland, the second to Norway' .
and the 'third to Great Britain.
While on the trip, a cadet lives
_ with local families and travels
around the country acting as a
gopdwill ambassador for Canada.
According to Capt.• Mino, an
average cadet spends about four
years in the organization. Sixteen
is the "magic'year", he said. "If
you can hold them through that
year, they'll probably stay until
they're 19." Interestingly, lower-
ing the age of majority to 18
• hasn't seemed to make much dif-
ference, he noted.
' LINKED TO DEFENSE
The air cadet ' organization
(there are . also sea and army
cadets) has been in existence
since the 1930s. It was originally
formed- to train pilots, but this
function was taken away from it
during World War II, Capt. Mino
said.
It is "a civilian thing", but is
supported by the department of
national defense, which provides
uniforms and training aids in
addition- to helping instruct and
paying some expenses.
A lot of'people think the cadets
are a recruiting base for the mili-
tary, the captain noted, but he
denied this is the case. -While
about 75 per cent of new recruits
have cadet training, he said, only
about seven per cent of cadets
.join the armed forces.
If a cadet is interested in flying
and works hard enough he or she
could get a flying s olarship '
offered by the Air Cadet ague.
This would put the cadet through
a complete flying course at a
civilian field in North Bay or
Kingston. However, there are
only 45 offered in Ontario each
year and competition for them is
stiff. More recently a glider pro-
gram has been developed, which
opens the door to flying for more
people.
The flying course yields the
cadet a private pilot's licence and
"wings". There is some talk of
qualifying cadets further, for a
commercial licence, but it may
take 10 years to get off the
ground, Capt. Mino predicted.
The cadets also operate an ex-
change program, which sends
selected applicants on a three
week trip to other countries.
"Only 60 cadets in all Canada get
on it and we've had three," the
