Here and There
(By Sgt. J. E. Miller,

WELL, once again I sit by my
favourite window and graduall3
see the .leaves turning all the
colours -of the rainbow and grad-
ually fall tp form a blanket to
cover the well kept lawns and
keep the grass in fair condition
for the trainees to cut again next
summer . . . But then the DWO
and the TWO are not happy be-
cause they have now the sad
chore of having the duty boys
get out and rake up the leaves
and keep the grounds still look-
ing 'neat and trim. (After this
statement I imagine there will
he a new permanent Orderly
Sergeant an the Station, so quit
worrying .fellows!) . . .

THE P.T. staff are so pressed
for time and space that they
in December ' 1945 and served
with that service until December,
1950, when he transferred to the
RCAF. While in the Navy, he
was employed as an electrician
and spent two Years on the
Tribal Destroyer HMCS "A'tha-

Mere are some tor foatures that you'll quickly

haven't waited for the new lean-
to to be officially opened and
have set up a complete weight

with' my own eyes one of the

WO1 Jones still has the smartest
looking building in the com-
pound; he must spend nights out
there with a Infra red light of a
smudge fire because the lawn is
still fresh and green , . The
buildings on the main highway
are well under way and for a
few air holes and the odd window
they are shaping up nicely
The Ritchie building is fast',y
being excavated and more space
is in the wind ... The immediate
use of this building is not known
to the writer but as soon as it
is the information will be pas-
scdon,.
LAST week, the Clinton Ball
Club played a game in Centralia
and the original article for this
game was politely destroyed and
it order to keep a few friends;
enough said! ... It is surprising
to see the crowds that gather its
the Recreation Hall at nights to
make use of the many sports and
games available for use , . This
afternoon, for instance one brave
airman was in the pool having
an afternoon swim , AIthough
he was a beautiful pink when he
dived in, he was a royal blue
when I saw his exit , . Quite
a few of the lads have since de-
parted from the station for duties
in connection with the Royal
Visitors, so we should be able
to get some first hand informa-
tion when they return , . ,

PADRE Harding was a lucky man
lest Wednesday night . He
scored 29, a perfect cribbage
hand . .
THE clouds are beginning to fall
over the camp now and I can't
see much more (or maybe my
window needs cleaning) so I'll
pack this up for this week and
due to circumstances beyond our
control I'll be back again next
week so until then — Be good
won't you? . . , Bye new . . .
FLIGHT CADET DINNER
In last week's issue, a report
of the Flight Cadet Mess Din-

name of F/C Crutch. The story
was credited to him erroneously.
In The Air Force
Old RCAF Tradition
An old tradition of the RCAF
is still being carried out today
by the thousands of young fliers
graduating from air schools all
across Canada.
The tradition deals with salut-
ing. This, in itself, is no more a
tradition with 'the RCAF than
with any other service. However,
when a student aircrew member
is camtnisxioned from the ranks
and steps forward proudly to re-
ceirvc Ms wings on graduation
day, he receives not only the flat
cap symbolizing an officer but
the privilege for returning the
salutes of the other ranks.
But like everything else these
days this costs him money right
off the bat. The first salute for
the new officer is a proud mom-
ent .and as we said a costly one.
Tradition has it that the first
lucky airman saluting a new of-
ficer receives in cold cash a one
dollar bill.

The RCAF's giant C-5, which
will carry Princess Elizabeth and
the Duke of Edinburgh during
part of their Canadian tour, has
been undergoing beauty reat-
ment at Canadair, Montreal,
where the engines were renewed
and everything made spic and
span. Features added in time
for the Princess' arrival include
a public address system which
will enable the Captain to speak
to his Royal passengers y and, an
auxiliary power unit to provide
the necessary power for use of
lights and cooking facilities when
the aircraft engines are notoper-

Officers Go "Rural"
At Harvest Hoedown
The officers of RCAF Station
went rural on Saturday even-
ing when they held a barn dance
in the mess with everyone wear-
ing appropriate dress and many
looking as though they had shar-
ed in this year's bumper crops.
Abe Zapfe from Brueefield act-
ed as the caller off and when
the square dancing commenced
it was apparent that many of the
dancers were participating- lin
erations over Europe, the Medit-
erranean., the Atlantic and Bur-
ma. The Flight Engineer alone
has over 12 years' experience as
an aero engine technician. Of-
ficer Commanding 412 Squadron,
W/C Bob Trickett of Humboldt,
Sask., will accompany the crew,

How to pass the long daylight
hours when weather is too poor
for flying is one of the big prob-
lems for the boys flying all sum-
mer in the far North on the
RCAF's photo survey program,
One of the flyers of 408 Photo
Squadron, FIying Officer M. J.
(Charlie) Charlebois, Ottawa,
thought he had the problem:soly-
ed when he opened a leather,
craft shop. Charlie had large
rolls of leather. and all the spec-
ial tools and diagrams necessary
for tooling and carving the leath-
er into handbags, wallets, brief-
cases, etc., but he lacked one
thing. He couldn't arouse inter-
est—no one wanted to spend the
many hours necessary to handy
tool even a key -case. They of-
fered to buy one from Charlie if
he would make it for them
but they'd rather fish,
However, Charlie wasn't beat-
en. _ He managed to coax one of
the navigators into making a
ladies' handbag. The handbag
was finally finished and shipped
home io an admiring wife, Then

their first square dance. Many
found out that as much fun may
be had by the beginner as by
the experts, thet is as long as
one's breath holds out. The musi-
cians of Mrs. Murdock's Orch-
estra were in fine form and cer-
tainly caused a lot of breathless
but happy dancers to realize that
the fiddler can outlast the danc-
er.
The Mess was decorated in true
barn -like fashion complete with
bales of hay, lanterns and corn
stalks, etc.. and anyone accust-
omed to rural life felt quite at
home: Refreshments consisting
of 'flap jacks and bacon and eggs,
country style, were served at the
intermission from the buckboard
of a chuck wagon (the homes
were unable to attend). With
the appetites developed in the
strenuous denting the fare was
demolished in 'true threshing -
time ety'le.
Among the more prominent
local farmers attending were G/C
end' Mrs. E. D. Hutton from Clan-
ton Acres; Mr, and Mrs. George
McLay from Vandenberg Corn-
ers, W/C' and Mrs. B. G. Miller
from Adastral Concession; S/L
end Mrs. "Doc" Forrest, the gen-
ial practioner; F/L and Mrs. 'Al-
berta Hugh" Miller and Dr. and
Mrs. Oakes from a nearby town,
The Farmers' Frolic was cer-
tainly a great success and all at-
tending greatly appreciated the
efforts of the entertainment com-
mittee in putting on this exceI-
lent dance,
