Many of you are'aware of the
large role played. by this station
in defending the nations of the
free world during" World War IL
Since then the station has become
an increasingly vital increment in
Canada's National Defence and the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion. Modern methods of warfare
has led to a race by many nations
to produce weapons whose key-
notes are speed and accuracy,
Human eyes can now see
througft clouds, smoke, rain and
darkness by means of the magic of
"Radar", Today's fighter pilots
can take -off, searchout and destroy
an enemy ' bomber without ever
seeing his opponent in the normal
manner. Folks' who are fortunate
enough to own. a television set can
now sit comfortably in their living
rooms and watch first class enter-
tainment originating many miles
away.These examples of the mul-
titude of new developments, clas-
sed as impossible not too many
.years ago, have been realized
through the tremendous strides
made in the field of electronics' in
recent years.

creation Centre on the base proved.
adequate for the occasion. The
committee soon s•transformei the
hallinta a delightful picnic ground
to the astonishment of the airmen
and airwomen who shared in the
fun. Sergeant F. Harron acted as
starter while judges were Cpl. Don
Wilson, LAC Don':. Drew, and Ad

was AC Andy Anderson.
S/L Olien presented appropriate
prizes to the many winners of the
afternoon's events which included
foot races, wheelbarrow races,
three-legged races and an eggand
apoon race for the adults.
The highlight of the day came
'when a bounteous spread of sand-
wiches, cake, ice cream, milk and
soft drinks was served by members
of the Ladies' Chapel Guild. When
all were completely satisfied the
Scouts and Cubs performed a fine
job of clearing up the hall. Thanks
to the fine work of the committee

Boger Bannister, slim British medical
student, performed the individual athletic feat
of the century when he ran a -tulle in less
than four minutes. The Miracle Mile.
The ink was scarcely dry on the news-
papers reporting Bannister's achievement
when 225 -pound Parry O'Brien of California
sent the 16 -pound shot hurtling through the air for 60 feet,
5 inches, leaving the fabled 60 -foot maz-k shattered.
And sti there is added to the record more evidence that
man is steadily improving athletically, despite the supposedly
softening effects of the automobile and the other luxuries of
which our grandparents never even dreamed. Man runs faster,
jumps higher and farther, hurls weights greater distances' than
ever before.
Take the most basic of all athletic endeavours—running.
In the mile, which is reckoned to be the blue ribbon of all
distances, athletes today aro running nearly ten per cent
speedier than a century ago. Times which won title's in the
first. years of one -mile championships are now commonplace
with high school boys. •
In the second half of the last century a 4:30:0 miler was
a rarity. In fact, England's Walter G. George was the only
really outstanding one. His amateur record of 4:21:4 stood
from 1882 until 1895, and it was not until 1915 that his profes-
sional record of 4:12%'4 was bettered by Norman Tiber of the
U.S, When George set the professional mark, the news was
received on this side of the Atlantic with grave doubts. The
feeling you glean from periodicals of the time is that it was
then held impossible for anyone to run that fast. ,
But when, a few weeks_ ago, Bannister's flying feet carried
him through the "impassable" 4 -mile barrier, the world mar-
velled at the performance, No one expressed the slightest
doubt of the timing accuracy.
The smashing of athletic records has become almost mono-
tonous in recent years, and there exists no doubt as to the
authenticity of each new human feat of speed, endurance or
performance.

Use of Box Lids Can Cause
"Pasted i8yes"
"Dr. Goldhaft, Vineland Poul-
try Laboratories, believes the
puzzling running and pasted eye
condition which is often follow-
ed by blindness in chicks is due
to chicks scratching feed into
each other's eyes. He points
out this condition is primarily
found where chick box lids are
being used as hoppers the first
few weeks."
Poultry Physiology .
"Body temperature of laying
pullets is 107° F,; respirations
are about 32 per minutes; pulse
about 350 per minute; they re-
quire 2.6 times as much air to
breathe per pound live weight
as does a cow."
Irregular Performance
"Feed manufacturers have
been puzzled by the varying re-
sults of some of their customers
using the very same feed, same
breeder stock and good manage-
ment. Irregular performance
often has been blamed on dif-
ferences in water supply."
. Flightless Birds
"A flock of flightless birds
are being raised in an experi-
mental project, the main pur-
pose of the breeding experiment
- is to eliminate primary and sec-
ondary flight feather on each
wing, so that the job' of pluck-
ing can be eliminated directly
saving dressing expenses,"
Ready To Cook Poultry
Tastes Better
"Two studies recently con-
ducted at 'Cornell University
in cooperation .,with , a taste
panel of staff members, hears
this out. They showed that the
longer the storage period, the
greater is the preference for
ready -to -cook poultry over dres-
sed poultry. As the storage
period Iengthened, the prefer-
ence for ready -to -cook poultry
increased. Off flavors appeared
first in the liver, gizzard, and
thigh, and slower, in the breast
and wings of the birds,"
Chickens, Eggs and Dollars
"Four out of five farmers still
keep chickens. Poultry and eggs
are the third ranking source of
farm income, surpassed only by
meat animals and dairy pro-
ducts. On the average, about
$1 in every $10 earned by farm-
ers throughout the country
comes from the sale of chick-
ens and eggs."
