RCAF Station, Clinton
At this time it is traditional to review the history of the year that Is passing and to 10*
forward with hopefulness to the year that Ilea ahead, It is true that these days .are uncertain,
difficult and troublesome, both at home and more especially abroad. We should not allow - this
state of affairs to depress us, however, but shoo 14 regard it as astimulus to do everything we
can, individually and collectively, to foster those sentiments of Cooperation and understanding of
whieh the world is so in need today.
In 1952, the RCAF passed through the great est expansion period in its peaeetime history, The
expansion will continue in 1953. Inevitably, such an expansion has been aceohnpanied by inconven-
iences to its all. We have had our share of these growing pains here at Clinton and no doubt will
continue to have thein in the coming years; thou gh we may reasonably expect that this winter will
see us over the hump.
These are testing times. In every test may be round a challenge and an opportunity. A chef+
lenge to put forth our best efforts. An opportun ity to show whether or not we can nceept our
personal responsibilities. The overall air force zn ission to preserve a free and lasting pence cannot
be attained by otter leaders alone. Its attelnihzehrt depends upon each one of us meeting the eivar-
lenge and grasping the opportunity, thus benefitting .ourselves as well as others,
Always mindful of individual responsibility, the men and women of RCAF Clinton can make
1953 a happy year for themselves, thereby building towards a more stable future for us all.
A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
RCAF PERSONALS

It's Oh ristmas again. And no matter
how hard-boiled and impervious to sentiinent
you think you are, or as folks may believe
you are, and, indeed as perhaps you are, as
a general thing Christmas does something to
you. It did something to Old Scrooge, so
probably the rest of us, who live in a rug-
ged, realistic world, where no, one expects, or
gets, any the better of it, are not immune, either.
As eyery Christmas' approaches, you decide that this year,
you're going to take the attitude, but firmly, that Christmas
is only another Saturday, or Tuesday, as the case may be.
This time, you say, you're not going to go overboard for a
lot of gifts --well, maybe something for a few little nieces and
nephews, but no one else -and no partying, and running around
to other folks' houses, no receptions at your own. Just a
good book, curl up in front of the fire, and relax.
Then the Christmas cards start to come in. You hear
from folks that, . in many cases, you'd almost forgotten, from
others who form a bond or attachment in your We that, you
strangely find, is a great deal stronger than all the anti -
Christmas resolutions you'd mentally made. You see the light
in a child's eyes as he peers hungrily through a half -frosted
window at the glittering array of tempting toys grouped about
a giant Santa CIaus who shakes with rumbling laughter. Or
you hear sleigh -bells across the frozen snow. Or the boys who
sing the Christmas carols torch some half-forgotten chord of
other days that was lurking deep in your memory.
And allof a sudden, you realize what you knew all along,
that there's a real Santa Claus, a real Christmas for all of
us, in the spirit of the season. It's something you can't escape.
And when you come right down to it, • who wants to? You'll
go through with that one resolution, though, to curl up in
front of the open fire with a good book. And the book will
be Dickens' Christmas Carol, and you'll rejoice in the reforma-
tion of Scrooge, 1.si the joys of Tiny Tim, and all the rest of
those folks in the greatest fictional Christmas story ever
written, so poignant that it still can bring a lump to the throat
of one who has read it from boyhood, which is more years back
than he cares to think. And a day when you can make the
. old wish that never seems to become trite:
