Present Riding Boundaries

tion Authorities, 13 members of the provincial legislature

sels, and Authority vice-chairman, Alvin Smith, of Turn-

Two-Room School Still Functioning
Bayfierld Village council is far from satisfied
with the.”unofficialn proposals from the Ontario
Department of Education as voiced by Inspector
Burrows regarding the future of the Bayfield Sch-
ool, and passed a resolution to that effect at the
regular meeting here Monday night.
Must Protect
Water Purity
Says Council
Council discus-
sed the present
buidling code which
applies to the Vil-
lage and which was
authorized in 1962.
This code provid
es amongst other
things that a per-
mit cannot be issu-
ed for a dwelling
with a dug well and
septic tank unless
the lot area exc-
eeds 1500 sq. ft.
or if a drilled
well, 1200 sq. ft.
Council is studing
this By-Law in Com
mittee to see if
changes should be
made in view of the
sic of lots in the
Village.
Council feels at
the same thime tha•
the rmrity of the
wayer must be pro-
tected or the Vill
age could be faced
with the require-
ments of providing
a central :rater
system. Report wi
11 be made Pt the
next regular meet-
ing.
Canadian voters will go to
the polls on November 8th to
select, for the third time in a
little more than three years,
their representatives in the
House of Commons at Ottawa.
This will be the fifth election
in eight years, and comes at a
time when a redistribution of
the federal constituencies is a
contentious question.
Committees on redistribu-
tion have been at work for some
time and in most provinces
their reports have been receiv-
ed. The Opposition Leader,
John Diefenbaker, claims that
an election this year, before
redistribution can be affected,
is a betrayal of the interests of
the Canadian people. Prime
Minister Lester B. Pearson,
however, claims that it would
be necessary to wait more than
a year to hold an election on
the basis of redistribution.
As a result the existing boun-
daries for federal ridings will
be used. Wingham will remain
in the Wellington-Huron con-
stituency, despite the fact that
after redistribution it will re-
vert to the riding of Huron, as
will the townships of Turnberry
and Howick.
Nomination day will be Mon-
day, October 25th. Enumera-
tion of the country's 10,700,000
voters will take place from Sept
20th to 25th. Voting hours on
election day will be from 8
a.m. to 7 p.m. Advance polls
will be held Saturday, Oct.30th
and Monday, Nov. 1st.
20th Reunion of
Airforce Vets
Each year since 1945 the
war-time personnel of No. 6
SFTS, RCAF, Dunnville have
gathered at the Dunnville Golf
.and Country Club for an annual
reunion.
The 20th reunion will be
held Saturday, September 25th
with a reception for early corn-
ers at the Victoria Hotel on the
Friday before. A golf tourna-
ment, a visit to the station rem-
nants and to the Harvard Memo-
rial will be the main items on
the program.
Those who have not receiv-
ed notification should contact
Frank Scholfield, Box 1150,
Dunnville, Ontario who will be
pleased to send information.
Council consider.
ed the proposal
which had been mad(

rows at the joint
meeting of Tucker
smith and Stanley
A quarter century ago Britain
survived her darkest hours by
hurling back the German Luft-
waffe in the Battle of Britain,
fighting in the skies of England
from June through October,
1940, and causing Winston
Churchill to utter his immortal
words: "Never in the field of
human conflict was so much
owed by so many to so few".
Numbered among the "few"
were Canadians who served as
aircrew and groundcrew in
fighter, bomber and coastal com-
mands. Most of these Canad-
ians had crossed the Atlantic in
pre-war days to enrol in the
RAF. There were, however,two
fighter squadrons identified as
Canadian. One was No. 242
(Canadian) Squadron, compos-
ed of Canadian fighter pilots
of the RAF; the other was No. 1
(Fighter) Squadron of the RCAF
(later changed to No. 401)
which had arrived in Britain on
the eve of battle.
Among them, Canadians
scored some 120 victories in
aerial combat, with about 100
more enemy aircraft counted
as probably destroyed or damag-
ed. These victories were not
without cost: 47 Canadian air-
men gave their lives in the Bat-
tle of Britain.
The battle was not fought
solely in the air: the ground-
crews were engaged in it as well
as the pilots. After each sortie

ing a home on Dele
Area School Boards
on Tuesday 31 Aug.
/65. After discus
sion, Council pass
ed a unanimous re-
solution that it
was against the prc
posal that Bayfiel
the aircraft had to be immedi-
ately re-armed, re-fuelled,
the equipment checked and
tested, and the machines gen-
erally made ready to take off
on the next "scramble". Dam-
age to engine, airframe and
equipment had to be repaired in
desperate haste to keep the
maximum number of aircraft
in the air to meet the German
onslaught.
The mechanics kept them
flying only by round-the-clock
maintenance, snatching sleep
in flight shacks and bunkers be-
side the aircraft. The finest
tribute to the efficiency of
these "erks", performing under
extremely trying conditions,
was found in the daily reports
of aircraft serviceability.
Of the several hundred Can-
adians who fought in the Bat-
tle of Britain in the air and on
the ground, only five are known
to be still serving in the RCAF,
such has been the passage of
time. Two served then in
RCAF formations, the other
three with the RAF.
They are Air Vice-Marshal
