"Happy Families":
(• By S/L H. M. NORRIS, Chief Administrative Officer) '
'Aclastral Park is well -populated with children who, like the
nlinciren of all communities, are adept at involving their parents
en unpleasant affairs ever their Conduct. •
H you possess a child who appears to 'b,e keenly interested in
a pugilistic career and keeps in practice by bouncing right upper -
nuts off the nose of your dear neighbors' child, or if he is inter-
ested, in baseball and keeps his pildhing arm loosened up by
heaving rocks in the general direction of your next door neigh-
bor's children or your ear, you will likely become involved in
'a heated conversation with said neighlacir.
Most of these little affairs are resolved at the shouting stage
end the children go on tossing lefts and rights or throwing stones.
Since this is not a very satisfactory condition (which will not
likely be rectified since "kids will be kid? and will do those
things they like best regardless of their parents' wishes) the
parents will now have arrived at the point where they insist upon
,defending their children's rights by marching over to the neigh-
bors for a short round of fisticuffs.
Before throwing your filet blow, count to one and by this
'time you will' have cooled down to the point where you can
.stutter a few rude remarks. If your neighbor is a kind old ,gentle-
. man, he won't be interested in a scrap and will ask to have a
-third party galled in to solve your problem (things wouldn't have
.gotten out of hand if the third party had. been called in earlier).
Mayor Fulton ("just call ins F/0 W. G. Fulton") insists that he
la the best third party available and asks that you cell on him.

to Adastral Park. As a token
of the many good wishes from
friend and neighbours, two lov-
ely clips and saucers were given

were served to close a delightful

An enjoyable evening was
spent at the home of Mrs. T.
Newton where friends of Mrs.
R. A. B. Ellis gathered to present
her with a baby bathinette, a gift
for her infant son.
Young friends of Janie and

Station Male Chorus
Has Been Re -organized
Our Station Male Chorus, under
the direction of F/L L. C. rattl-
ing, has been re -organized fol-
lowing the summer recess, and
is working hard to present a
concert in the new year. Since
our last concert in July of this
year, a number of very valuable
members have been lost through
postings. Their places have been
taken by a number of new re-
cruits, and the same keen inter-
est Is shown as prevailed last
season.
Two new officials have been
appointed, namely WO2 F. La-
Fleche as manager, 'and F/S A.
Foster as secretary.
• Due to the' re -organizing of the
Chorus, it has been necessary to
start from scratch in preparing a
program. This has made it neces-
sary to turn down a number of
invitations to sing at various local
functions. We regret that we may
have caused some disappointment
to our many friends who have
been kind enough to invite us to
sing for them. "
As present we are preparing
several numbers for a Christmas
Carol Sing -Song to be held later
in December, as well as some
new songs for next year.

The town of Valetta which has
always depended on the Royal
Navy for i'4 main economic sup-
port is showing the effect of the
reduction in operations of the
Navy in the Mediteraneari. There
was evidence of unemployment
and extreme poverty when con-
sidered by' our standards.

tionable privilege of walking

(By F/X, Eohert "Boy McKee)
During January and February
of this year, the RCAF made its
first around the world Plight. It
is of interest to Clinton as three
out of the seven eircreW on this
trip „ were graduates of Aircrew
Radio Offitcers School, Clinton.
The three were F/L Ed Annis.,
PiL Keith Murphy and the writ-
er of this little article.
The purpose of the flight was
to take the Minister of Etnternal
Affairs, Lester B. "Mike" Pear-
son, to the Colombo Conference
which was called to develop plans
for combatting Communism in
southeast Asia. In addition, a
secondary purpose was to show
the Canadian flag to our new
sister Dominions of the Common-
wealth,
Prepare for Trip
Now, to send an aircraft around
the world even in this air age,
still requires 'considerable pre-
paration. First of 'all, it must
be realized that the areas to be
flown through could not supply
spare parts or maintenance
equipment for North Stars. In
addition to this, the aircraft
would be landing on airfields
where this type aircraft had never
landed before. In the prepara-
tion and planning it was decided
that in addition to the aircrew
enough tradesmen would have to,
be carried to effect all repairs
and maintenance. This proved to
be a wise course.
Inoculations
Besides preparing the aircraft
the bodies of the people riding
in it had to be prepared for tropi-
cal living. So everyone had to
take a series of 18 inoculations
for such things as yellow fever,
Bubonic plague,
typhus, cholera,
diphtheria and tetanus. Now es
I found out it seems the latest
method of inoculation involves
the use of a large square needle
in the hands of an ex dart board
champion.
The night of Januaa.2rel found
us standing on Rockeliffe aero-
drome with ceiling of 200 feet
awaiting the arrival of our pas-
sengers. When they arrived the
AOC had traditionally thought of
pipers to play us off with the
theme, "Will ye no come back",
which with the weather and
everything caused the' crew en-
gineer to say, "My God they're
playing 'Will we no get back'?"
The Azores
The flight to the Azores" was
uneventful except for two hours
in mid-Atlantic when severe ic-
ing was encountered. The de-
icing equipment proved all the
claims made for it, and handled
the situation satisfactorily, On
arrival in the Azores we were
greeted by' high winds and our
first Portugese food, which is not
recommended for ulcer patients.
Gibraltar
From the Azores we continued
on to Gibraltar where our land-
ing was held up for a while be-
cause of donkeys on the runway.
This may seem strange but when
you find that the main road to
Spain from Gibraltar utilizes
part of the runway you are not
surprised. In Gibraltar we were
treated to the sight of one of
the famous apes hitching a ride
on the back of a truck. These
apes which were introduced by
the British after the capture of
the rock have the legend that
when they leave the rock with
them goes British rule over
Gibraltar.
(By F/S C. A. Mason)
• Last Saturday, a vicious team
of airmen—F/S Thompson, F/S
Saddlernyre, F/S Adams, LAC
Webber and F/S Mason—set out
to surround and kill enough rab-
bits to make a stew.
Not many ?men would have
ventured into the great northland
in such grim weather against such
uneven odds; after all, rabbits
weigh ten pounds or more and
even have teeth.
Undaunted the party set out
to make the first stage of the
lonely trek into the great north-
land between Clinton and Blyth.
The storm was at its height and
the party had only the body and
windows of a new automobile
between them and the fury of the
elements.
Reaching their destination, they
set out on foot across the fields
and through the rough country
hebvily wooded with several
alders.
HO, signs of the first cotton-
tail—F/S Saddlemyre who sight-
ed the animal' instinctively drew
Back. However, heartened by the
feel of the, shotgun held, in the
crook of his arm he reassured
himself and pressed slowly for-
ward to be joined shortly after-
wards by F/S Mason, Unsuccss-
ful in their attempts to track down
the brute, they gave up the chase
and began to look elsewhere for
signs of game.
Bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
bang! — F/S Adams in the mean-
time had better success. One giant
rabbit angrier than the rest had
attacked"him. Calmly and coolly
he opened fire and downed the
enraged beast with seconds to
spare. At the same time F/S
Thompson dropped a duck mak-
ing a cowardly airborne attack,
on the party, LAC Webber also
fired several rounds however, as
no enemy was sighted it must be
presumed that he was cleaning
the snow out of his gun barrel.
Mission completed, our valiant
hunters returned home safely
under the cover of darkness.
a
Giddap
The old farmer was driving
home from town, after having
where we saw
imbibed rather freely. In descend- our first signs of
what causes so much unrest in
ing a hill, the horse stumbled
and fell, and either could not, or
would not, get to its feet again.
At last the farmer bawled sav-
agely:
"Deng yen hide, git up than—
or I'll drive right smack over
ye."
Malta
The next port of call was Malta
European and Asiatic countries,

this island live three hundred
thousand people in an area which
is smaller than some of our larg-
er Canadian farms. .
Malta shows evidence in both
Egypt
Plom Malta we flew to Vayid,' '-
Egypt, where we waited out a
sand storm which was prohibit-
ing
flying over Iraq. Although
in Egypt only a few hours we
learned considerable about the
political situation as it was elec-
tion clay. We also learned that
aircraft which fly over Cairo
are fired upon as the Egyptians
were still in a state of tension
after the war with Palestine.
Pakistani
After Egypt we proceeded to
Karachi, Pakistan, where we
were warmly greeted in true
Moslem style but as we were to
visit here formally later, our
greeting was informal. Of course,
an. informal greeting in Pakistan
is quite something—they merely
had an 'eleven -course banquet
awaiting, our arrival. After a
night in Karachi we continued
on to our final destination
which was Colombo, Ceylon.
