AC1 Rides Thumb
For 1/800 Miles
One RCAF airman of the City of
Calgary Auxiliary Fighter Squad-
ron was determined not to miss
his squadron's summer camp ses-
sion at RCAF Station Rockcliffe
last week --and hitch -hiked 1,800
miles' to prove it.
Leading Aircraftsman Leslie
Nuttall, 17, of 2227 4th Ave. N.W.,
Calgary, was unable to get his
personal business finished in time
to fly east with his part-time Air
Force comrades so he "hit the
road" and in six days was at work
with his 403 Squadron buddies.
Leaving Calgary, he went direct
to Windsor, Ont., aboard a truck
and from . there kind-hearted Am-
erican tourists took over. From
Windsor he obtained a ride to Lon-
don, Ont., and then in succession
Anmericahs on their way to holi-
days in Canada brought him to
Woodstock, Toronto, Prescott,
then to Ottawa.
cliffe, LAC Nuttall said .it was an
RCAF Auxiliary under the Re-
serve Technical Training Plan, is
a student at Crescent I-leights
High School in Calgary and works
with 403 fighter squadron during
one evening per week plus the
weekend.
Questioned on arriving at Rock-
cliffe, LA. CNuttall said it was an
experience he wouldn't have mis-
sed for the world. He added: "The
mosquitos and other inconven-
iences I ,experienced while sleeping
each night on the back of the
truck that took me to Windsor
was anything but delightful, but I
wouldn't have missed summer
camp for anything.

Ragweed A Scourge
To Crops and Humanity
Ragweed is a fighting word not
only to the eight or ten per cent
of the population who suffer •from
hay fever, but also to the South-
ern Ontario farmers whose fields
are being overrun by this pest.
July and August are months
that are dreaded by a great num-
ber of people, for it is at this time
of year that Ragweed is in bloom,
scattering pollen far and wide, and
causing a great chorus of sneezes
to be heard throughout the land.
Though very few of these people
may recognize the plant itself,
they always know when it is
about.
Ragweed is late in maturing, is
found in abundance in pastures,
meadows and cultivated crops, as
well as along roadsideb and - in
waste areas, and causes consider-,
able damage during the growing
and harvesting periods. When
eaten by cows, as it sometimes is,
it doesn't give them hay fever
but it does taint the milk they
produce.
The weed is an annual, growing
about two feet tall and producing
up to 5,000 seeds per plant during
the late summer when its pale
yellow flowers are in bloom. It
has a quantity of branching stems
covered with deeply indented,
ragged looking leaves of two
shades of green, the under side
being lighter than the upper.
The prolific seed production
makes the control of Ragweed
difficult. Efforts should be made
to destroy it before the seed is
ripe and in fact before the pollen
is set free. Ragweed is one weed
that should be controlled by
community effort and whole areas
should be cleaned up at one time
to make the program effective.
The Crops, Seeds and Weeds
Branch of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture, says that
mowing, to be effective, must be
very close to the ground as many
seeds are formed jnst above the
soil surface. 2,4-D used in June
at the rate of 6 to 8 ounces of
actual acid per acre, or 1 ounce
per 6,000 square feet, will provide

W/0 S.C. Jones Gets
Long Service -Medal
Warrent Officer First Class S.
C. (Sid) Jones, 39, Ottawa, last
Friday received the Long Service
and Good Conduct Medal on an
impressive parade at RCAF Sta-
tiqn Clinton. The medal was pre-
sented by AVM J. G. Kerr, CBE,
AFC, the Air Officer Commanding
Training Command.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones live with
their family of two, Peter and
Barbara, on Raglan'Street in Clin-
ton. They are well known and
liked in the community and are
Past Patron and Past Matron re-
spectively of the Clinton Branch
No. 266, Order of the Eastern
Star. They were the first Worthy
Matron and Worthy Patron of the
Clinton Branch.
Warrant Officer Jones was born
in Ottawa and received his formal
education in that city, Prior to
joining the RCAF he worked in
the Radio Branch of the Depart-
ment of Marine. He holds both
the second and first class Federal
Certificates of Proficiency in radio.
In October of 1934 Warrant Of-
ficer Jones began his Air Force
career as a wireless operator in
the new branch of the RCAF. It
was not his first contact with the
military however. He had already
attained the rank of Corporal in
the 3rd Division Signals and later
the rank of Sergeant in the Prin-
cess Louise Dragoon Guards.
He has had an interesting and
varied career as a radio man. Af-
ter his first term with the RCAF
he went back to the Department
of Transport and was Officer in
Charge of Kapuskasing. During
this time he took part in the first
coast to coast aircraft flight in
Canada. Warrant Officer Jones
rejoined the RCAF in 1937 and
has served the RCAF well and
faithfully in many signals positions
since that time.
At the present time he is the
Technical Warrant Officer at No.
One Radar and Communications
School at RCAF Station, Clinton.
cheap, effective control. Several
treatments may be necessary
however, due to the germination
of further lots of seed, Care must
be exercised to keep the spray
from coming in contact ' with
plants, shrubs and flowers sus-
ceptible' to 2,4-D. ,
Northern Ontario is still rel-
atively free of Ragweed and is
an excellent haven for hay fever
sufferers. However,. residents of
the north country should be on
the alert and at the first sign of
the weed a real campaign should
be launched to prevent it from
gaining a foothold in the district.
