He brought with ]lila some fine specimens of oats and burley, the oats standing 61 inches and the barley 60 inches, all welt headed out. There has been some big talk in this community concern- ing the height of ,grains this year and we wonder if anyone can beat these samples brought in by Mr. Walter,—Mitchell Advocate.

Elsewhere they spend much longer training periods, yet here Is wbere a lad's destiny may be determined. Here they all learn the basic essent- ials f01' service as members of an air crew, When a lad enters the school, with a draft from the Manning Depot, not knowing whether he is to be pilot, air gunner of air observer, he is tir'9t identified and entered in the station strength, He then gets an Issue of bedding, is shown his bunk, docu- mented into the school training strength and paraded with the rest of the new draft. Then the Com- manding Officer addresses the new. comers. His address is brief and friendly. He reminds the lads that they have been chosen because of their high calibre, and that because of this fact much of the routine is based on honour system. He points out that no barb -wire fence sur- rounds the station, and that leisure ]four's are exceptionally free. Men can leave the school any night until 10,20, can obtain passes for leave until midnight. But he stresses that studies are heavy and a man per- sonally determines much of his des- tiny by his use or abuse of privileges. Thereupon the new elassman en- ters into school life. Henceforth he rises at 6 a,nn., must be shaved and ready fr physical training at 6.50. Breakfast follows, with everyone re• porting for work at S a.m. The day. until 4,31) rime, is solid with studies or drills. Studies include nlatitema- tics, administration, duties of an of - lice', armaments (gas and small arms), etc. There is mach route marching and thrill. During tris studies, the student finds lllntself undergoing regular physical tests, even more rigid than the original medical examinations prior to his acceptance Into the Force. Coupled with these, he gets lecture- and demonstrations on what is called sunitatiou, but is actually a sort o0 renal medicine. Ile i, told of things that happen to airmen a1 11 1511 altitudes, of whet happens when they dive too fast 0 low altitudes. and a blackout is described. This is the momentary loss of uousrtoua,ne..s which faces a pilot 00 crew if a plane dives of turns at terrific speed. 11e is tori how to remit -1100, 0151)111a ell Of 11 "blitekcnit" and what to d0 to avoid it. All these things he learns during his tour weeks at the school. Regu- larly ouch week he writes exatrlme thins as a member of either A. 13. or r Flight of No. 1 Squadron, o' as a member of D, E or I'e Flight of No. 2 Squadron. As he leaves one Ouse: room, another flight follows his flight into it. In this way every room is busy at every hour of the working day; no time is lost. Then Ile reaches the stage when he gets a "trip" in the Link trainer. This is a full size aircraft cockpit with stubby wings attached, equip- ped with normal flying instruments at a table where an instructor can sit and watch the student's progress. But the table is outside the Link room, so that the student is alone on his "flight", The Link Trainer is placed in the centre of a circular room which is painted to represent open country. There are mountains and bays, a storm at one side, open country on another. The objective is to teach the lad to learn how -to "feel" the of is ship. and how to levelh horizon h p turn, bank. climb and dive. In between tinea the student Navels to a nearby research institute or clinic where lie is taught the use of oxygen, what effect it has on the human system, why it is used for high altitude flying, and so 00, He is also told of its dangers, if used to excess, and is given opportunity to have a whiff or two of it. So, day after day, Ile travels the concentrated route of study and practical experience. During this period he does not know if he will be a pilot, an observer or a gunner. His enlistment allows his assignment to any of these three branches of air crew service. And, almost unknown to him, he is being carefully assign- ed by bis instructors and office's. At nights he may study Or go out. There is considerable freedom in granting late leave passes. He is left to determine his own desires in this course. If he stands high on examin• ations, stays out late, and conducts himself properly, he is not criticized severely in general report. But if he stays out late often and fails in exams, it is assumed he is showing little interest in his future I -Ie may be warned once or twice, but, to a great extent, he is largely master of his own destiny. As one officer put it: "He is judged On his life here: his future will be the sum of his actlons here whether they be off or on par - axle, off duty or on duty." There is plenty of wholesonne ent• e tainment and recreation for the student during his off -hours. There is a swimming pool under the manage- ment of a former Canadian swim- ming champion, There are tends tables and a library. Citizens flood the school with invitations to tea or dinner; theatres supply free tickets., There is regular 'Sunday church ser- vice, plus facilities offered by nearby churches such as socials, dances and so on. There is much of high-class prep arato'y school atmosphere about the whole school. Discipline is strict on duty; officers are saluted and ad- dressed with briskness and courtesy, But they smile as they return the salutes, and they try to get across an air ' of friendliness because they know better than the boys themselves just what it is like to be a long way from home among high-epirited torn• pani0lts who do a lot of kidding and ragging in leisure hours. IncideutallY the whore syllabus of duties provides one full afternoon a week for games such as bowling, baseball, swimming and so on. Under these conditions the lads work out their own future. Then camas the eyen 1001 day 11'11011 they are paraded before the command and. told they are being assigned to fly ing school, observer school or gum nery school. Ninety of every hundred went to be pilots. But the rule of the Air Force is "The best man Par the Job." "It's tough sometimes to tell a lad he is going to gunnery school when you know his whole heart is wrap ped up in a pilot's job," said one of. deer, "But we try t0 break it gently. We explain that numbers of each group are essential to our future sucess, that they will serve as good a cause. And we try to explain just why the particular lad has been cat egorized to so-and-so grade. They take it like men, usually." Will Put Up Cedar Flag -Pole— A cedar flag -pole, and not a steel one, as had practically been decided, will continue proudly to fly the Union Jack in Court House Park at Code - rich, The property committee of the County Council has listened to the plea that home industry should be patronized by the use of the county's natural resources, But perhaps it was 111e economical argument that de- cided the issue. A 40 -foot cedar pole extension will be spliced to the 40 - foot butt that remained standing af- ter a storm last spring had snapped the pole in two. This, it is expected, will cost not more than $50. The job now is to locate a 40 -foot cedar pole with an 8 -inch butt and 2% -inch top. and Reeves Brown, Weir, Leiper, Watson and Webster, who compose the committee, are on the lookout.
