School, Clinton, on 'Friday last,
RCAF history was made and the
service strengthened by the ad-
. dition of Staff Officers trained
dor Staff Radio Officer duties.
The personnel, selected for the
course were Radio Officers with
many years' 'experience in air
operations. It was decided to
utilize this very valuable exper-
ience by designing a course to
train them to hold staff positions
within the RCAF organization re-
quiring their specialized radio
and operational knowledge.
To attain this, the course in-
cluded intensive instruction in
subjects such as professional
`Radio Officer Training including
theory of operational and instrun-
tional techniques. A 'considerable
portion of the course was devoted
to staff ,officer training giving
the studnts experienced in ser-
vice staff procedures. The grad-
' nates of this course are now
"qualified to carry out staff Radio
Officer duties at RCAF opera-
tional and training establishments.

see that no personnel are wasted
on non-essential tasks, and that
the Canadian taxpayer gets the
utmost value for his defence
dollar.
"You are now going out into
the field, and by your efforts
and abilities, you will prove or
disprove the trust placed in you
by the people of• Canada in al-

The mess members are extrem-

justifiably so. The main lounge

"Madhattel's" Prove
Stellar Attraction
(By F/L D. V. Kyle)
Roars of applause, interspersed
with the jive beat, rolled across
the Parade Square on the night
of Wednesday, July 11. Th e
source -of the sound end fury was
"Roundel Terrace" where the
"Madhaltters" of Toronto lived up
to their name and provided an
evening of madcap antics and of
superb dance music.
Those who had been somewhat
cynical when they read the ad-
vance notices of the "Madhatters"
returned ho -me fully satisfied that
the promised entertainment had
lived up to all. advertisements.
They'll all be back the middle
of August and it is anticipated
that space, even on the rafters,
will be at a premium.

The eon -census of opinion of all
who have seen it is that it is
the finest Sergeants' Mess in the
RCAF.
Two Films Shown
Game Club Memberu
(By LAC A. L. Gunn)
The monthly meeting of RCAF
Fish and Game Club was held
on Tuesday, July 10, and although
only one half of the members
were present much business was
discussed and the meeting was
quite lively. Membership cards
were distributed to those present
and everybody was well pleased
with the cards and the very rea-
sonable cost of having them
printed.
The lucky draw was won by
LAC Blythe but as he was not
at the meeting the prize -money
was added to the-yack-pot for
newt month, this being a motion
approved previously.
Two Elms were shown-- early
In the evening, the first' one be-
ing "Fishing for Northern Pike"
and the second "Big Game Hunt-
ing in Montana." Both films were
very interesting and provided us
with information which is nor-
mally out of the scope of fisher-
men and hunters in this district.
We had hoped to plan a pro-
gram for the ensuing month but
the meeting was adjourned due
to the lateness of the hour. How-
ever ,keep an eyes on the notice
boards and we will let you know
what is being planned.
