Equipment
Recognizes High Calibre
Of Training for 2,500
Major Alder M. Jenikns, 1JSAAF,
who has . been commanding officer,
USAAF Detachment No. 5, at Clinton
for the past four years, has been
transferred 'as commanding officer,
USAAF Electronics Training School,
Sequoia, California, which he or-
ganized last summer.
Two of his staff, Master Sgt.
Charles B. , Watts and Staff Sgt.
Thomas W. Dugan, have gone to
separation .centres for discharge from
the USAAF.

USAAF personnel for training pur-
poses at Clinton, comes to an end. '
$1,000,000 Gift
Before departure, Major Jenkins
informed The NEWS -RECORD that
radar, television, and other technical
equipment to the value of approxim
ately $1,000,000 had been donated by
the United States Government to the
ROAF for use at R. and C. School,
Clinton. This equipment includes text
books, films and other training aids.
Major Jenkins stated that the dona-
tion had been made in recognition
of the very high calibre of training
received by approximately 2,500
United States service personnel from
1941-45, The peak numberof trainees,
at any one time, was 575, a figure
attained in June 1944.
"International Model"
"In my opinion, the American train-
ing program conducted by theRCAF
a
at Clinton, could well be used
model for international cooperation,"
Major Jenkins declared.
"Not only did my American boys
receive at Clinton, the highest type
of training in radar and electronics Tuckersmith
available in any service school in
North America, but as well received
from the Canadian people the most And Others
cordial and hospitable reception
wherever they went," Major Jenkins
stated,
"As a result, the friendship and Pay. Tribute
understanding between our two
countries has been immeasurably
strengthened."
"Should' be Continued"
Major Jenkins said it was the be-
lief of all high ranking USAAF and
RCAF officers, that training liason
should be continued in the United
States and Canada as a means of
developing a mutual understanding
of each other's methods; and further-
more that this is certainly considered
highly desirable, if not essential, for
the common defence of the two
countries.

of Merit," Major Jenkins came to

During the ,first twb days of the
warble fly power spraying experi-
ment in Goderich' Township --Tuesday
and yesterday no less than 1,518.
head of cattle, owned by 85' farmers,
were' treated. H. J. Hawkey, man-
ager in charge for J. K. Crang and
Co.. Toronto, announced today.
This, total was made' up of 861
on Tuesady and 667 on Wednesday.
Two power spray outfibs are at work,.
one in the north of the township, and
dine in the south.
The drive will continue until all
the cattle in the township are sprayed.
Farmers Cooperate
"I am more than pleased with the
cooperation shown by the farmers of
the township and with the fact that
they have their cattle ready and
waiting for us when we arrive at the
barns," Mr. Hawkey told The NEWS
RECORD. "There has been very little
trouble with rounding up loose cattle.
Practically all are still in the barns.','
It is apparent that many farmers
telephone ahead end inform their
neighbors when to expect the spray
gangs.
Cattle Take It Well
The NEWS -RECORD'S personal
observation, through seeing the.spray-
ing in progress, was that the power
spraying (400 lbs. pressure at the
nozzle) hardly bothered the animals
at all. The spray fluid is not harm-
ful to warm-blooded animals.
Observation indicated that warbles
are worse on younger animals, such
as yearlings, than on older ones.
Officials Here
R. H. Graham, man, Livestock
Branch, Ontario Department of Agri-
culture, and Prof: R. W. Thompson,
