Why Why And WHY BOYS LEAVE THE FARM “Why did you leave the farm, my lad? did you bolt and leave your ■dad? did you beat it off to town turn your poor old father down ? Thinkers of platform, pulpit, press Are wallowing in deep distress They seek to know the hidden cause Of faster life and social waste Some say they long to get a taste Why farmer boys -desert their pas And some will say the silly chumps Mistake their suit cards for their trumps In waging fresh and germless air Against the smoky thoroughfare, We’re all agreed the farm’s the place So free your mind and state your case.” “I left my dad, his farm, his plough Because my calf became his cow, I left my dad-—’twas wrong of course— Because my colt became his horse. I left my dad to sow and reap Because my lamb became his sheep, I dropped my hoe and stuck my fork Because my pig became his pork, The garden truck that I. made grow Was ' ' It’s ■his to sell but mine to hoe, not the smoke in the atmos­ phere the taste for life that brought me here, Please tell the -platform, pulpit, press, No fear of toil or love of dress Is driving off the lads, But just the method of their dads.” -—ANONYMOUS.

A war-developed radar trick that has made possible more than 130,000 aircraft landings without a fatal accident and goes by the un­ imaginative name of “Ground Con­ trol Approach” will be installed at six strategic airfields across Can­ ada, R.C.A.F. headquarters an­ nounced recently. '"The sets-—three of which in operation in 19 47-—will cated at Greenwood, cliffe, Ont., Centralia, Man., Churchill, Man., Bay. B.C. In addition routine air force operations, the equipment will be available for any aircraft in distress. While not regarded as the final answer to air-accident prevention, the R.C.A.F. feels the sets will do much to aid pilots in “bad-weather” difficulties. Its main advantage is that, unlike other landing aids Which usually require special air­ borne installations,. G.C.A. can as­ sist any aircraft having a normal two-way radio.

Legion Notes Exeter-Hensall Branch 167 general meeting until of the Exeter-Hensall The last the fall, branch of the Canadian Legion was held Tuesday night. In the absence of President Pooley who was re­ cently injured, first vice-president Hendry took the chair. A motion was made to lay the bowling alley extension plans over till the fall. This was done as the Municipal Council are not in a position to grant a permit under the present drainage system. Arrangements were made to co-operate with the Oddfellows in regard to Decoration Day. The set 'uses very high, static- free frequencies to assist in the poorest weather conditions. Each set has a series of radar scopes that determine the height, bearing and distance of the aircraft from the field, giving the controller ac­ curate information on its location. One of the precision scopes acts as a type of glide-path indicator by which the controller may accur­ ately bring the pilot down on his final approach and landing. Completely mobile, these ground control approach units are contain­ ed in a 4,5,000 pound truck and, trailer that may be moved from one runway to another in a matter of minutes. The original G.C.A. sets were manned by a crew of five, or more, but the R.C.A.F’. modified version will be operated by only two men. Operators will be selected from trained flying control person­ nel and will receive specialized in­ struction from United States perts before tions. G.C.A. was 1942 and was ing the last two years, the United States Army Air Force alone gives it credit for the safe landing of nearly 3,000 aircraft which would otherwise have been forced to crash-land or put down in the sea. ex­ commencing opera- first developed in in general use dur­ Vacant Seat The minister had preached for an hour and a quarter on the prophets—all the greater propheta and then the minor ones in tar».. “Now we come to Habakkuk,” be said. “Where shall we put him?” “He ran have my seat,” said ft wearied listener, “I’m awa' home."
