As a guest of Clinton station, you will see equipment with big and little tubes; and many with tubes whose shape de- fies description. There will be -per- sonnel standing by to answer your questions about these complicated pieces of equipment. This is your chance to see what goes on behind the scenes. Force, time flies swiftly and the annual Air Force Day of the RCAF Is fast approaching. Canadians across the nation are invited to come out on June 12 to see the progress made by the men and wo- men of the Royal Canadian Air Force. At RCAF Station Clinton you will not see skies darkened with squadrons of jets, displaying the force of Canada's first line fighter aircraft. Clinton is a technical training station which specializes in the education of young men and • women who will service, operate and maintain the, vital electronic • equipment which is so necessary in modern aircraft. That last sentence sounds like a definition in a technical manual. But let's face facts. We are all too prone to think of the RCAF as an organization composed main- ly of aircraft and the men who fly them. What about the 15 men 'required to get each aircraft into the air? Some students at Clinton learn • to operate radar equipment. Others learn to operate and service tele- x Communications equipment which The great many diversified ac- tivities on a technical training sta- tion will capture the interest of young and old alike. The young visitors will see bright lights flash- ing as fighter control operators !practise aircraft control. Their parents will enjoy quizzing instruc- tors on the various items set up in static displays. Many new build- ings under construction last year have now been completed and will be open for inspection. Everyone is invited, so let's all head for Clinton on June 12 and make a real day of it. ZURICH Quimby Hess has been promoted to Regal Forester and will move. from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., to Cochrane, Ont. We congratulate him for his success.

The committee, in strictest ,secrecy, will visit the gardens at some future date and select the best appearing plot. Some lucky lad (or lass) is going to receive ten dollars as well as vegetables. For the citizens of the "Park" perhaps the most beautiful event in this delightful season is the preparation of the community gar- den plots.

On Tuesday evening the annual in- spection of 532 Maitland Squad- ron, Royal Canadian Air Cadets, was held at Sky Harbour Airport. The colourful ceremony drew many interested spectators, among whom was Air Vice Marshall J. A. Sully, retired from the RCAF and pres- ently residing in Godeer•ich. Group Captain H. C. Ashdown, MBE, CD, Commanding Officer of RCAF Station Clinton, was review- ing officer for the occasion and was assisted by F/L H. L. Cart - mill, RCAF Station Clinton, Irwin Erb, Zone Director of the Ontario Air Cadet League Committee at- tended the inspection on behalf of the Air Cadet League. Following the parade, Group Captain Ashdown congratulated the Air Cadet officers, instructors, and cadets on their fine showing, He stated the importance of Air Cadet training in building more capable citizens. He stressed that ,the primary aim of Air Cadet training was not to provide re- cruits for the RCAF but to provide better citizens for the community. The highlight of the evening was a wings presentation by G/C Ash- down to Warrant Officer Don Mc- Bride. WO McBride was given a Flying Scholarship last summer and the.. wings presentation is emblematic of successful comple- tion of this flying training. WO McBride leaves the squadron this summer to commence University training in September. Other cadets who achieved dis- tinction by their continued efforts during'the training year were LAC Maurice Loiselle and LAC Roy Reinhart. G/C Ashdown presented the Ro- berts Trophy to LAC Loiselle for having been selected as the out- standing cadet of Maitland Squad- ron for the past year. LAC Roy Reinhart provided very stiff com- petition to LAC Loiselle for this award, so close in fact, that G/C Ashdown presented Roy with an additional award, Following the' presentation cere- monies, G/C Ashdown was shown .Transferred Air Force Headquarters has an- nounced the transfer of Wing Com- mander B.

Fireworks Display At° Adastral Park Rival CNE Display On the evening of May 24 the "Park" residents of RCAF Station Clinton were treated to a thrilling and cblorful fireworks display. The occasion was the time-hohoured celebration of the birthday of Queen Victoria. Prior to the day the council had purchased a good selection of fireworks. Just after dark the residents were treated to a riot of color from displays which included Niag- ara Falls, Super Fiery Beacons, Wheel of Sirens, Paradise Batter- ies, Super Atomic Flares, Floral Fountains and Daredevil Wheels. The grand finale was a cannonade bombardment of 60 nine and twelve inch bombshells. Many of the displays were identical to those used at the Canadian National Ex- hibition. WO2 Wilson, WO2 Hamil, WO2 Pratt and Sgt. Muirhead are to be congratulated for"thesmooth man- ner in which the exhibition was handled. Stratford Cadets Inspected By G/C H. C. Ashdown Group Captain H. C. Ashdown, MBE, Commanding Officer of RCAF Station Clinton, was the inspecting officer for Stratford's Squadron No. 19 of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, last week. He was accompanied on his in- spection by F/L Pidgeon, Clinton, and F/L S. J. Cairns, training com- mand officer at Trenton. Three representatives of the Stratford Legion_ branch that sponsors the squadron, the president, James S. Ford, J. Miller, past president, and J. Evans, secretary -treasurer, were at the parade. G/C Ashdown pointed out during his address that the squadron is among the oldest in the Dominion, and said he felt confident that the progress he had noticed during the past year would continue. The inspecting officer declared that, contrary to a very widespread opinion, boys who join the Air Cadets or any other service cadet organization are in no way mem- bers of the armed forces of the country, "The training you receive in the Air Cadets," he told the squadron, "is helping to build bet- ter citizens for the Canada of the future. That is our object, and in that we are succeeding." J. S.

You would hardly recognize that game T today, Now it's table tennis, a whirlwind, hard -smashing game of split-second reflexes. The little celluloid ball now gets hit so hard that, bounced on the table by a smash shot, it spreads out like an egg, or, clouted full power on the side, it jets out like a lemon. And you probably never thought ping-pong, a term that is frowned upon in table tennis circle today, would become one of the greatest of all international games, But it has. The 21st World Table Tennis Tournament was held in London and its entry was surprisingly international. For the first time, the world meet welcomed into the fold competitors from Argentine, Australia, Lebanon, Nepal, Saarland and Spain. Also competing were officially nominated representatives of Hong Kong, Japan, Pakistan, Singapore, Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Rumania, England and the United States. And in its broad-mindness, table tennis can teach a lesson to other sports whose administrators waste so much time on the pointless business of dividing, the amateurs from the pro- fessionals. All are classified as players and those who wish to make money out of it have merely to record that fact to their national controlling body, as a matter of record and information, but it makes no difference at all in the eligibility of the players for competition in any event. The freedom from meaningless dividing lines is one of the things about table tennis that impressed this observer. Another is its internationalism. Take other sports by comparison. Canada's own favorite game, ice hockey, has had a great up- surge of popularity in Europe. But it isn't nearly as inter- national, for instance, as soccer. And still, soccer is only a minor game in the United States. Basketball, though spread- ing rapidly, is still American -dominated, And baseball's so- called "world series" isn't even international. Judging by the list of countries involved in the recent table tennis titles, the game that started so modestly as ping- pong has as much right as any to be termed the greatest of international sports.
