(RCAF Photo) Station Clinton Band Wins First In Waterloo Senior. Novice Competition Officer, S/L G. J. Burry, for his constant interest and support, to 1 /S "Les" Halliwell for his ass- istance with band drill and dis- cipline, and to the supervisory personnel in the various sections for their patience and co-oper- ation. Without the support of these people, the band would not have triumphed as they did. Among the band members themselves, the work of the Bandmaster, F/S "Bud" Philp and the Assistant Bandmaster, Sgt. "Jim" Buckle was outstand- ing, and the major share of the credit for the success of the band is due to their efforts. And last, but far frons least, the en- thusiasm and morale of the band members, their cheerfril sacrifice of off-duty time to at- tend practices, their deportment and discipline on parade, were to a great degree responsible for Station Clinton's victory at Waterloo. Next year sights are set on the Senior Open competition at the Festival. This is the major event of the day and competition is very keen. With luck and a lot of hard work, there is no reason why the Clinton Band should not make a good show- ing. Recruits for the band are still needed. Staff members, wheth- er trained or untrained are wel- come to join, and trainees who have had previous musical ex- perience are also invited to vol- unteer. Sgt. Buckle is the matt to see. 0 (By W.O. J. S. Ogston) " , And now we come to the winners of the Senior Novice Claw. This event is open to trumpet bands 'who have never before won in competition at the - Waterloo Band Festival. First place was won by the trumpet band from RCAF Stat- ion ... (a slight pause here, that. seemed to last for minutes) Clinton!" The master of ceremonies, making this announcement from the band platform at Waterloo Park on the'hot summer evening of June 26, went on talking to the audience of 20,000 people, but his words were not heard by forty RCAF personnel who had apparently, to a casual ob- server, gone .completely mad. The strain of competition, the long marsh through the streets of Waterloo and the aching ar- ches were forgotten as hats and victory yells filled the air and the members of the Clinton band walked around shaking each oth- ers hands, ' while dazed but nappy smiles adorned their faced This was the culmination of a resolve made away back in January of this year. In past years, plans had been made for e participation of the band in the Waterloo Festival compet- tion, but fate, in the form of and members postings and trans- fers, had always intervened, This ime, largely due to a vigorous ecruiting campaign, amongst taff and trainee pessonnel at linton, the band had enough embers to snake participaton ossible, Credit for the win must go to lot of people at Clinton - to he Commanding Officer for his ncouragement, to . the Band 1 th b t r s C p a t e Give r hnwAgiittritg See the display of "Coke & Food" at food stores -loaded - with suggestions of good 'things; to serve with deliclouel ice-cold Caca-Cola.

New Badge for Para Rescue Personnel [11 CaLvett SPORTS COLUMN eet 5effieit 7 Canada is now only tlhirteenyears away from the century mark of Confederation. Over the past 87 years, Canada has grown in wealth and in stature amongthe nations of the world. Canada has developed and con- tinues to develop in all fields -including the field of sports. It is noteworthy that the sports games with the biggest - followings today were unknown when Canada was born. .The one exception, of course, is baseball. Hockey, football, tennis, basketball and many other sports have all budded and blos- somed since 1867. ' Our great-grandfathers .enjoyed numerous games adapted .to local conditions. They had cricket, baseball, lawn bowls, track -field, golf, archery, croquet, fencing racquets, tennis, rowing, skating, canoeing, lacrosse, swimming, curling, boxing, wrestling, tobogganing, snowshoeing, siding, .yachting and the classical threesome of huntin', shootin' and fishin'. Many of the sports popular 87 years ago still endure, in an even greater measure than then. But other sports have since come on the scene to reach tremendous proportions. Hockey is one of these... It came into being soon after Con- federation, developed rapidly after the turn of the century, and bloomed into its present international status in the 20's. Canadian fooball, developing from English rugby, has at- tained a tremendous vogue here. Baseball has become inter- national. Golf has •developed into a widely -played game for the masses, rather than the classes. Curling, from a modest corner inthe early sports picture, has expanded into one of the greatest participant games in the Dominion. And skiing, comparatively new, has reached high peaks of popularity the last 20 years. • There's •more sport today, and what is more important, there's a greater degree of participation than ever before, from which Canada, still a young nation, 'doubtless draws much of its virility. Our sports haven't had many new ad- ditions, but they !lave grown • tremendously in scope and healthy public interest.
