Christmas Messages
Frrini the Commanding Officer, G/C E, A. D.—Hutton, CP
"I am very glad of this opportunity to wish. the personnet•
of this station a Merry Christmas and 'a Happy New Year..
"The end of December is a time for stock-taking. To
many the present situation tmay appear sombre. We iive in
a troubled world arid the future is obscure. The unrest of
the times is not leaving our .country unscathed.
"As part of the Canadian contribution to world freedom
and order, the. RCAF is required to undertake ever-increasing
commitments within and beyond our continental limits. Per,
haps there is a danger of allowing -iiinmediate problems to
loom too large and of overlooking the more important long-
term objectives. The difficulties that lie ahead of us may be
'great, but we have successfully overcome difficulties before.
"While the past accomplishments of the RCAF should be
a source of pride to all, we must also realize that the future
provides an even greater challenge and opportunity to the men
.and women of the Royal Canadian Air Force, '
"Let us demonstrate that the RCAF is one democratic
organization in which ideals are realized and objectives
.attained!"
*
From the Minister of National Defence,
Hon. Brooke Claxton, PC., CMG
"Christmas 1951 finds our Canadian Forces spread from
Korea to the Continent of Europe,
"These overseas Forces represent part of Canada's contribu-
lion to the United Nations and the ,North Atlantic Treaty Or-
:ganization and indicate Canada's determination to play her part
in meeting aggression, in partnership with her democratic allies,
"All of us at home have been called upon to increase our
effort in building up expanding defence establishments and
Vroviding reinforcements for our overseas units.
"The wholehearted support and co-oPeration of all Ser-
-*ices has been most gratifying and I know we shall all continue
-working as a team towards the common, goal.
"To the Navy, Army, Air Force, Defence Research Board
and all civilian members of the Department I extend my very
hest wishes for a happy Christmas and a hope that the New
Year may bring us nearer freedom and security in an un-
:settled world." * * «
° From the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal W. A.
Curtis, CB, CBE, DSC, ED, LLD
"Once again it gives me much pleasure to send Christmas,
:greetings to each one of you and to your families with the
very best wishes for the New Year.
"During 1951, the RCAF has grown in size and strength
and much credit is due to your good, work.
"It hits also been a great pleasure during the year to
-welcome our airwomen back into the force.
"I know that you will all continue to keep your shoulders
to the wheel 'so that in 1952 we may reach the high objectives
at . which we aim."
May your glad tidings
and good cheer • t)e.

Airwomen's Christmas
Party Enjoyable One
A twinkling Chriatinas tree,
eolerful decorations, Christmas carols and vines, were the key-
notes of a Christmas party giv-
en /or the airwomen of Station
Clinton.
Organized, by some of the Wiv-
es of RCAF personnel living in
Adastral Park, the Party_Was
held in the new, modern om-,, Wom-
en's Lounge, This was the first
gathering heldin the new, lounge eh* it opened •a few weeks ago.
It gave the airwomen an oPpor-
tunity to test its hi:vile-like fa-
cilities amid tinseled decorations
of Chriatmas. The decorations
were supplied by the Station
Entertainment Committee for the
event.
The gaily decorated Christmas
tree, donated by Padre Harding,
formed the centre of attraction
with its array .of Christmas par-
cels underneath. The unmark-
ed gifts, brought by the individ-
ual airwomen, were later ,dist-
ributed by an impromptu Santa
Claus. The rest of the evening
was devoted to playing games
and singing and concluded with
refreshments donated by the
three messes on the station.
The ladies who took on the
responsibility of organizing -and
planning -the party to make it
the success it was, were Mrs.
William Refausse, Mrs. E. Rich-
ard, Mrs. L. Michaud, Mrs. M.
Bowman, Mrs. T. Cook and Mrs.
M. Patton.

"Stage Crazy" Produces
Excellent Entertainmint
The cast, which consisted of
43 airwomen and airmen, pro-
duced a tremendous effort in the
,short space of two 'weeks and
their performance proved what
real. talent exists on RCAF Sta-
tion, Clinton.
The show was produced by
Sgt. .1. E. Miller and directed by Sgt. Frank Hamon and was a
credit to their combined efforts.
It was plain to see that their
years of experience paid off by
the very reason production of
amateurs was equally as good as
most high class professional Mom and Dad as they arrived

There were laughs, galore, many of them it was their first

bevy of dancing beauties, recita- The RCAF opened its ranks to
tions, in fact just about every-
thing that one could desire in
such a show.
Officers Congratulate
At the close of the first per-
formance, G/C E. A. D. Hutton,
Commanding Officer of the Sta-
tion, expressed the feelings of the
audience when he stated that such
a fine show was a credit, not
only to the RCAF in a general
way, but also to the airmen and
airwomen of Station Clinton in
particular.
Similar sentiments were ex-
pressed at the end of the second
performance by W/C B. G. Miller,
officer commanding, R. and C.
School, who declared it was "a
wonderful show”, and that there

members come under the 'same
Service regulations that apply to
male members of the Air Force.
Service leave plans over the
holiday season provided for short
leave periods in conjunction with
either Christmas or New Year's,
in addition to Christmas Day and
New Year's Day. In addition,
those entitled to annual leave
were able to elect to augment
their Christmas or New Year's
leave by taking extra days to be
counted against their annual
leave.

MANAGE YOUR FEEDING METHODS
LIKE A STEERING WHEEL
Just as you turn the steering wheel of your car to left or
tight as needed, so vary your feeding methods to suit
flock requirements.
If the birds are losing body weight on good egg
production, increase their' weight by adding more grain
to their feed. But if egg production slumps, step up the
weight fed of protein-rich mash.
Always aim at good steady egg production which .the
flock can maintain rather than at high 'egg production
which burns the birds out early.
