Organizer, that having dome to the end of our year's term on the Park Council we. 1 have been replaced by one F/S L. H. Mitchell. This appointment was not made without some back-ecratohingy ;as is usual with most things of this nature, but with F/S Mitchell representing the constituents of Upper Adastral Park we feel that it 'was justified. having arrived here a slxort while ago from Middleton Park, RCAF Station, Trenton, a development far older :and larger than Adestnal, our community should) benefit from his experience and •ability to get 'things done in good and short order. F/S Mitchell's present position, that of Assistant Adjutant, gives the Council a man who is on the inside track, one who has the ear of those who make and administer the rules, F/0 Carpenter and the rest of the Council may count themselves lucky on this appointment, Mixed Feelings On The WD MANY MEMBERS of the RCAF, as well as their wives, will look upon the re-entry of the Women's Division in varied lights. 'There are those airmen who have fond memories of ••association With the distaff side of our service, an ,association that went no ;further than the end of the war. Others who married members •of the WD, stili are creating memories out of that association. The great impact. is going to be felt more by those airmen, of junior years and rank and single status. .Never having worked side by side with the gentle sex, they may be looking forward with keen anticipation. It is assumed that the more senior ,service - Veen who have had .previous experience in this regard, will have no difficulties in assimilating the WD into the present organization, The Canadian. Method Seems Best WALTER WINCHELL, on Sunday. night, announced about the middle of Ms program that. -"The Princess Patricias-a proud mane in the Canadian Army -shave just cracked the centre of -enemy resistance in Korea. This magnificent Canadian division with battle honors from two world wars will now Neve further honors -to add to their great record." The second statement, with a slight modification, that of sub- stituting the word "battalion" for "division", is coated in substance and to be expected of any unit of the Canadian armed forces :serving anywhere. The opening sentence. however, delivered in typical Wincheilian manner, . strikes a dubious note. at is gratify- ing to know that someone in the United Sates is aware that Canadian forces are in the field in Korea and that they compare fevourafiy with battle -tried troops of other nations. But to state that enemy resistance has been "cracked" is to intimate that an opening has been effected through which UN troops are pouring. In direct contrast was the CBC announcement one hour later that the Pats had made advances since being in the line but that it was not certain that they were still in action or had been puled out fora rest, We cannot help but feel that the Canadian method of re- porting, while less spectacular and oolorful, is saner and easier • en the blood pressure. YOUR TELEPHONE is one itetnthat takes u smaller part of your budget than it used to. Its cost hasn't gone np as much as most other things. And the way it works for you ...the errands it runs ...the shopping it does ...the titne, steps and worry it saves! It's always on the job, ready for any emergency, In another way, too, the telephone is bigger value today than ever .before. Now you can reach twice as many people as you could ten years ago. Friendly, helpful telephone service is viae of 'today's big bargains. IP YOU HAVEN'T YET GOT SERVICE "'Sou eat be sure your neighbourhood will be served, and your place on the list protected. Taking care ,of people without service as quickly as possible is one of our biggest and most important tasks. THE HELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA RCAF PERSONALS hfrs, J. T.

AIR AMBULANCE SERVICE TO FLY WOUNDED HOME An aer)ai ambulance service to fly Canadian Army wounded from McChord Field, near ' Ta- coma, Wash., to hospitals across Canada is being set up by the RCAF, it is announced by Nation- al Defence Iieadqua'lters, at Ot- tawa. The service, under control of RCAF Air Transport Command, will be ready to operate within several days. There is no im- mediate indication when casual- ties will begin arriving back from : the Korean front. The ambulance lift will be handled' "by Dakota aircraft of the RCAF's 435 Transport Squad- ron, Edmonton, which have been fitted with special ozygen syst- ems and with lirthers and litter holders. All normal hospital facilities will be available aboard the aircraft, and RCAF flight nurses and tight medical assist- ants will accompany tie medical planes. Number of aircraft to be employed on the loft will depend on qm Departremuireentents. of Veterans Affairs hospitals will accommodate most of the wounded being flown back, As far as feasible, wounded will be hospitalized at points near their homes. Hospitals receiving the wound- ed will be: Shaughnessy hospital (DVA) Vancouver; Colonel Bel- cher hospital (DVA) Calgary; Veterans' Pavilion, University hospital (DVA) Edmonton; Deer Lodge hospital (DVA) Winnipeg; London Military hospital (Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps); Stumybrook hospital (DVA) To- ronto; RCAF hospital, Rockcllffe, Ottawa; Queen Mary's hospital hospital (Royal Canadian Army 1Viedlcal Corps); Camp Bill hos- pital (DVA) Halifax. General policy covering the operation was worked out by Army end RCAF medical author- ities at NDHQ, with co-operation of the Department of Veterans Affairs. In charge of the overall medical aspects of the ambulance lift and responsible for er%ang- ing details is W/C D. G. M. Nel- son, Milton, who is staff officer, medical services, at .Air Transport Command headquarters, Rock- cliffe. He left Saturday, March 3, for McChord Piield and Ft. Lewis, and will.' visit Edmonton before retnrrning to Rockdliffe. Two RCAF nursing sisters have been detailed to join 435 Squad- ron for the' operation, They are F/L Vern Fowlie, Creston, B;C., now stationed at Rockcliffe, and F/0 Ella Mannix, Meota, Sask., stationed at Uplands. They will be aided by two flight medical assistants; LAC D. F. Nivens, Cannington, now stationed at Trenton, and LAC A. W. Skorey, Cardinal, stationed at Rockcliffe, Other medical crews will join the lilt if required. A nursing sister and. e flight medical assist'alit will fly with each Dakota, which will carry a maximum of. 14 wounded, The aircraft will head east from Mc - Chord, putting down • to drop wounded at points along the way. Where overnight stops are neces- sary, patients will be accommod- ated at une of the DVA hospitals, and will be taken aboard the aircraft the following day to con- tinue the flight eastward. It is expected that Canadian Army casualties requiring medi- cal attention enroute will be flown across the Pacific by air- craft serving on the airlift under the US Military Air Transport Service, which includes the Ii,CAF's 426 Thunderbird Squad- ron. The Thunderbirds have for some time been flying Ameticen casualties back on their .return flights from Tokyo to McChord. A number of other Army casual- ties, not requiring medical care enroute, are to be flown back by Canadian Pacific Airlines. These wounded would be landed at Vancouver and would proceed from there by train to hospitals near their home areas.
