to giant bingo game,
The skies threatened rain all
orning and by the time the
30 pm. opening was scheduled,
in was coming down. As the
Bather began to clear around
30, the athletes, officials and
eotators ventured forth to the
ports Field.
Keen eompletition was witnes-
in the events that were run
but the rain intervened again
bout 3.30 pari."and forced the

FISH AND GAME.:
CLUB ENJOYS
PERCH FISHING
(.By LAC A. L. Gunn)
Eleven members of the RCAF
Fish and Game Club went on a
trip to Goderidh on Wednesday,
June 6. The whole afternoon
end evening were spent in fishing
from a dinghy near one of the
channel markers. This 'seemed
to be a good snot as the fish
were biting quite well.
Between 75 and 100 perch were
caught, the two largest 'weighing
about 14 ounces each, though it
is not known who the anglers
were. Transportation from the
camp was provided by the ser-
vice and a very enjoyable day
was had by all.
The gun enthusiasts had a very
good evening on Friday, June 8,
when they paid another visit to
Kippen Gun Club at a trap -shoot.
We saw some very good shooting
and one or two members of the
other club had perfect scores.
Shooting finished when it was
almost tpo dart: to see but not
before several members had prov-
ed their skill with two birds in
the air at the same time.
There is promise of a very
good evening on Wednesday,
June 20, when we are going to
Goderich for a competition shoot,
again by Invitation of Nippon
Club, Many good prizes will be
awarded to the best shots and we
hope to be there in full strength,

'MD YOU EVER notice how some people seem to have a special talent
for living'? It has nothing to do with their social or economic standing
—the size or location of their homes. It's a knack of knowing how to
live graciously.
They furnish their homes taste-
fully and in keeping; with their
own likes and dislikes. They
achieve -the "homey" touch by
injecting their homes and fur-
nishings. Even the arrangement
of their furniture bespeaks a
friendly, hospitable spirit. Com-
