ATITURSDAY•; MARCH, 15, 1951 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. PAGE NINE RCAF Staiion and Adasiral ark Editor: F/S A. M. MACKENZIE Assistant Station FRG N 0. 19 'Should R and. C .S Adopt A Mascot? MASCOT: (npun) , A person or thing that is supposed to bring good luck; as: •"The tesan's mascot is a 'bulldog." COMING ON TOP of the announcement that Sgt. Minto, a •.200 -pound grizzly bear cub, has -just been adopted by No, 420 Tighter Bonsber Squadron, Winnipeg, as a mascot —because the squadron flew the insignia of the grizzly bear dueing the Last war—are some thoughts on what might be an Acceptable person or thing to bring good ]Wok to R and CS, Clinton. Some steps have been taken in this direction bid to date neither have been accepted nor borne fruit, Last spring, the M.E. people acquired is baby skunk, which, after (deodorizing and a hot bath, became the leading contender for the affections of the -entire station. Apparently •the call of the wild was too much. or -was valued more highly by this ".former pungent one': than all the, caresses received during normal working hours, for he (she, 'it?) deserted us. Then along came Harrison, a character associated with F/S G. B. Kennedy. But he has proven somewhat eloof, never pausing long enough in one place, making an investiture as mascot out of the question. Our enterprise with auimels not being • successful, we could -make some endieavour in the direction of homo sapiens. For in- stance, Marconi, if be were alive (or even the way he is) might 'be persuaded to accept the job. The experiunenters hi our labs are in need of some of the good luck which attended his efforts, They might even dub him Cpl. Marconi and chain him with a gold-filled chain to the flag steff. Perhaps the services of WO1 Jones, that asbestos -clad figure. might be obtained on his retire- ment—at half rates of pay of course. Here would be a real good -luck talisman --a kindly, genial old ex -Sergeant-Major put- tering about the grounds, ever ready to drop a gentle word of encouragement or advice in return for a handshake or a plug of tobacco. Surely this would be the royal road to immortality in the Telecommunications branch! ARDS might like to get into this act with us or go alonlg. en their own. If .they decide to take it alone, the suggestion -that they present the Station with e fountain surmounted by a -stone figure of a graduate RO, has some merit. Aspiring cadets could throw nickels into its waters on nights of a full moon 'hereby ensuring success end giving Clinton some of the flavorful tradition 'of Annapolis!! Or maybe we'd better stick to "The Thing" which, after all, is mentioned in the definition. RCAF PERSONALS F/L Robert Thorndyeraft was a weekend visitor with his fam- ily. Cpl. and Mrs. R. E.

It was decided .that owners of dogs would be asked either to confine or tie dogs on the days of gar- bage collection, It also was sug- gested that a system of tagging dogs be instituted in order that offending owners could be ascer- tained. Milk Boxes A sample milk box was dis- played by the Mayor for instal- lation in the Parker area and for those houses in the Ritchie area not presently equipped with milk boxes. It was emphasized that the CE Section would not be able to undertake the construc- tion of these boxes for some time due to pressure of other work, and that it may be several weeks before anything in this direction could he produced. The sample box is capable of holding three quarts and is equipped with hooks for hanging on stair railings at the door of the house. Telephones F The Mayor reported that F/L Baxter, who has jurisdiction over Station phones, had been negot- iating with the Bell Telephone Co. for the installation of a sec- ond pay telephone in the Parker end of the project. Pre -School Clinic The Mayor reported that the School Committee headed by W/C B. G. Miller had done some preliminary work in establishing a pre-school child clinic and that machinery: was under way to bring this clinic into. being. Im- munizetion• and cursory examina- tion of school children also would be taken into consideration when the clinic was set up. Vegetable Gardens WO MaeXellar reported that investigation had been made in- to the Starting of vegetable gar- dens and that the area on the south side of the Station, be- tween Adastral Pack. and Build- ing 55 would be available this year. It was decided to set up a Garden Committee of two vol- uited'r residents of Adastral Park who would report to WO 1VGacl(eilar, their main job be-• ing to have the area plowed and conditioned .as soon as possible. To defray the expense of this operation, it was estimated by l L. Mitchell, WO MacKellar that approximat- ely $25 would be necessary and that probably a charge of $1. per plot would be made from those desiring vegetable gardens. The Mayor pointed out that flowers are permitted around the house lobs of Adastral Paris pro- vided they appear es a border around the house or along the walks, Traffic Signs The Mayor read a letter to A, Nicholson, Reeve of Tuckersmith Township, in which traffic signs were requested on the county roads south and east of the hous- ing project. He also informed Council that approximately $200 would be spent in the near future for traffic signs for the entire ,-station area including Adastral Park. There were mixed opin- ions when it was suggested that parents also try as much as pos- sible to keep small children off the roads. All items covered by the Council and affecting residents would, stated F/0 Carpenter, be published shortly in PMQ bul- letin form for permanent reten- tion in each home.
