The Huron Expositor, 1966-08-18, Page 10 r 1' M 107th Year Whole No. 5137 Clinton .CFB Has Birthday Canadian Forces Base Clinton will celebrate both the 25th an- niversary of the opening of the base and of radar training in Canada during the week of Sept. 12 to 17. ' Defence Minister Paul Hell- yer will be the guest speaker at an officers' mess dinner on the 15th, the anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The radar school at Clinton was opened by the Royal Air Force July 20, 1941. It was the • beginning of radar training in this country and. was establish- ed in Canada because of the secrecy involved with radar at that time. Between September, 1941 and the end of the Second World War, 5,750 Canadians and 2,325 Americans graduated from the school. Surviving members of the first class of Canadians who graduated from the radar. school are being. asked to re- turn for the week of celebra- tion. Other activities plhnned addition to Mr. Hellyer's ap- pearance include a radio: show in the. Physical Training Centre, which will be presented by the. CBC on the 12th. Past sta- tion and R. and C.S. warrant of- ficers will be guests at a ser- geants' mess dinner on the • 17th. The base was taken over by the RCAF in 1943 and became a permanent RCAF station in 1945. Besides the radar and communications school, the base also includes the school of food courses, established in 1954, and the school of instruc- tional technique, established in May, 1943.

The Public Utlities Commis- sion learned at their meeting the average daily consumption of water' for the town was 309,400 gallons compared to July, '1965, when the daily av- erage was 231,200 gallons. The weather was the factor which produced the increase. This year July had high tem- peratures nearly every day with little rain. Last year tem- peratures in July were among the lowest on records and there was a fair amount of rainfall. Income Down The Commission in compar- ing interim operating reports for the first four months • of 1966; noted the net income of the PUC was down 9.8 percent from the same period' last year. The decrease is attributed to the increase in the • power cost to the PUC from the Hydro El- ectric Commission of Ontario.. The PUC revenue was up $1,100 Council Advances Arena Tender Date A special council meeting - called Saturday afternoon, to consider a tender call for con- struction of a new entrance to Seaforth Memorial • Arena, agreed to extend the date in which tenders would be receiv- ed eceived in view of delay in receiv- ing eceiving specifications. The new arena entrance pre- viously had been endorsed by council as Seaforth's Centennial project. Contemplated is a two- story fireproof addition to the west side of the arena that will provide improved access to both the auditorium and the arena, as well additional �l � .u �. spate Will be mach.... available Willa arena .rotunda: The meeting agreed the spec- ifications on which the work would be based would be as determined from the architect by Frank Kling. Mr. Kling ear- lier had been named to make advance arrangements concern- ing the entrance up to the point of construction. He told the meeting he had discussed the proposal with Centennial of- ficials in Toronto and had been assured the "proposed work would be accepthble.as a cen- tennial project. All that was required in order to obtain £cental approval was a by-law by the town, - but at the same time the cost of power increased $3,300. Power Failure The power failure last Wed. nesday was caused by an insul- ator which was broken by a rifle bullet about . six miles east of Goderich. The insulator which was 'broken was on a high tension 110,000 volt line. The blackout occured around 11:30 p.m. and lasted for about an hour. News. of The Chem. 51; Elliott, B.

When the cara- van arrives here in 1967, a trained crew of drivers, in two hours will park the vans in quadrangle formation, unhook and remove the tractors, Link the vans with walking ramps and bridges and erect triodes - tic forms in the centre of the quadrangle for exterior exhib- its. Power Supply The caravan will be self-suf- ficient • with its own power plant to illuminate the displays and run the air conditioning Century Farm Signs Available Century farm signs are still available from the Junior Farmer's Association -Of Ontario if eligible farmers immediately contact Donald _McKercher, RR 1, Dublin, Huron county's prov- incial director. In order to qualify for one of these signs, a farmer must re- side on a farm in active opera= tion; which has been owned by direct descendants of the same family for 100 years or more as of Jan. 1st, 1967, As an ex- ample the farm may have been passed down from grandfather to father to scan or from grand- father to daughter. However, a farm passed down from aunts, uncles, or cousins does .. not count. . The Junior Farmers decided to extend the date applications may be filed because of the tremendous response to the project. MRS.

The, Cargvann`` on site will be like a small fair. In many communities it is expectedi the visit of the caravan will be the major Cen- tennial event around which loc- al planning will develop. The tractor -trailers are un- ique in Canada with respect to design and capacity. They're the largest vehicles to travel on North American roads. Each trailer is 50 feet long, 10 feet broad and 12% feet high and is hauled by a 23 -foot truck. In length, this makea each vehicle about twice the length' of a _city, bus and . six times that of a compact car. Total exhibition area to be covered lay a full caravan • when - in position on a given site, will be about 40,000 square feet. This will permit the public to pass through the exhibit trail- ers in sequence. The centre quad will contain regional ex- hibits and a small platform in the entrance area will permit the staging of local perform- . ' Identical exhibits, depicting Canada's past, present and fu- ture, will be displayed in all caravans. Exhibits are not of the static museum -type, but will consist of vivid designs, electronic voice descriptions; sound and smell. Visitors taking the 30 -minute walk through the caravan will see .and hear the story ,of Cana- da. Various displays will show once -tropical swamps which pro- • duced rich oil deposits; the voyageurs handling their birch - bark conoes; the Fathers of Confederation seated around a table; the actual sound of drills and explosions and the smell of pitch deep in the heart of rich mines. Trial Successful The trial run of the first of the Caravans was successful ac- cording to Leslie J. Maiden, chief of Confederation Train and Caravans for the Centennial Commission. The caravan, with its full complement of tractor trailers went through five days of highway manoeuvering and" on site positioning in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. The trailers were empty and officials and technicians experi- mented with -some of the exter- ior pieces of equipment. Mr. Maidens said, "Some minor ad- justments will have to be made; mainly as a result of mainten- ance" problems encountered on the. trial run." • • Work continues from now to next summer on • finishing the exhibits, exterior decoration of the caravan units, hiring and training of 88 drivers and many other details for the transcon- tinental run_ Caravan 'number five will visit Seaforth as well as two, other towns in Huron county. It will be in Wingham, -June 10th and in Goderich, June llth. The same caravan will visit Stratford from June 14th to 18th.
