"'Peg -Air Review"
Is Successful
The annual "Peg -Air Review," a
fun-packed two hour variety show,
produced by 26 members of the
RCAF stationed in Winnipeg, was
presented recently to capacity
crowds in the Station Theatre.
The officers, men, and girls pro-
vided an action filled production
this year including exciting roller
skating teams, chorus line routin-
es, vocals and instrumentals,
All scenery and props were pre-
pared by the cast, and the color-
ful costumes were rented from a
local costumer.
Over 1,000 enthusiastic patrons
were thrilled by the performance
of "Rhythm on Wheels," a daring
boy -girl act on roller skates, and
the antics of a precision dance
line of `young ladies," complete
with platinum wigs, who turned
out to be seven of the most robust
airmen in the Air Force.
The twenty acts were well re-
hearsed and the timing was very
good. Professional make-up and
good acoustics helped to make this
year's production the best "Peg -
Air Review" yet,

Budgie Returned
To RCAF Mess
After 24 Hours
Officers at the RCAF's Mari-
time Air Command Headquarters
in Halifax, N.S.,r got the "bird". re-
cently, and they were happy.
The bird, by way ofexplanation,
was not the "Bronxcheer" type but
a blue -beaked, yellow budgie nam-
ed Xavier Yogurt Zilch — better
known as Zilchie.
Zilchie was acquired by the of-
ficers for their mess at Anderson
Square in 1952, when he was but
a few weeks old. He quickly
adapted himself to mess life and
since then has become a favourite
of. all members and a host of visit-
ors with his gravel -voiced utter-
ances and by alighting on their
shoulders or dive-bombing them in
the lounge.
However, one sunny afternoon,
a short time ago, an employee pf
the mess left a backdoor open and
swoosh, Zilchie was gone. That
night the temperature dropped to
well below freezing and little hope
was held that he would continue
As : occupant of the prominently
located .cage in the mess.
Radio stations in Halifax ap-
pealed to listeners for information
about Zilchie and the next day a
woman called CJCH and, reported
that she had seen a budgie on a
street corner, dead. The officers
soon learned of this and resigned
themselves to the fact that hence-
forth Zilchie would be only a
pleasant memory.
However, about 24 hours later,
a call was received at the local
branch of the Society for Preven-
tion of Cruelty from a youngster
in Halifax south requesting they
pick up a stray bird. He stated
that he had seen a budgie on the
branch of a tree near his home
and when he called to it, the bird
flew to and alighted on his
shoulder.
When the bird was picked up
and taken to the SPC shelter, an
alert attendant remembered hear-
ing the radio appeal and—as was
mentioned at the beginning, the
officers at the RCAF's MAC head-
quarters, got the "bird", and they
were happy.

Every Kentucky Derby—like every other
great horse race—hae its episodes of glory,
but every renewal of this great race has its
bitter disappointments, and its upsets, too.
For instance, there was the 1940 Ken-
tucky Derby, and there never has been a
satisfactory answer to the question of just
what happened to the great Bimelech in the
Run For The Roses that year.
Colonel E. R. Bradley has an amazing number of thorough-
breds, including four winners of previous Derbies, and also the
mighty Slack Servant, Baggenbaggage, Blue Larkspur, and so
many others, and he had furnished the sire which produced
the immortal Black Gold. Going up to the 1940 Derby,
Colonel Bradley. said: ,
"I think Bimelech is the greatest horse I ever had."
Bimelech won 6 races straight as a. 2 -year-old. Making
his debut as a 3 -year old, he won both races in which he had
been entered, and came up to the Kentucky Derby of 1940
with the record of being unbeaten in 8 starts, apparently at
the peak of his form, and with the turf- authorities insisting
he had the Derby at his mercy.
'The punters made him.a favorite at 40 cents to the dollar.
The field he was pitted against was, regarded as one of the
most mediocre of many years. It represented the best of the
crop, but the crop, at -its best, was not presumed to be in e
class with Bimelech.
"Bimelecit should win by a quarter of a mile" the experts
insisted. "No other horse in the race can run the mile and a
quarter faster than 2.05".
Yet• Gallahadion, who never knew greatness before, nor
showed any greatness afterward, was too fast for Bimelech
that afternoon. Gallahadion won by a length and a 'half.
Gallahadion's time: 2.05,
Not until the defeat of the grey ghost, Native Dancer,
last year, at 7.10, has there been a similar catastrophe of form,
and even so, the odds on Bimelech were muck shorter, so
that the great mystery of all the Kentucky Derbies is: "What
was wrong with Brimeleeit on Derby Day of 1940?"
