Reeve Lauds Bend Police 1 Final word in the controversy ? ? over Grand Bend’s law enforce-U ’ ment this summer came from the ’ village council itself last week;! . after the vacation period ended. - • Council unanimously requested U - OPP authorities to return the I , same constables to the summer! resort next year and praised the J : men for curbing the rowdyism j and lawlessness at the resort, i Delighted with the effect of this year’s policy of strict en­ forcement, Reeve Jim Dalton said “It took them one summer to do what I thought would take ! two.” The policy, he continued,« &■ encouraged more families to the • * resort and attracted a better ■ class of tourist. ' Council gave wholehearted sup-; port to the OPP detachment earl- j ier in the summer when a small > group of businessmen charged! that high-handed tactics were; driving tourists away. Reeve j Dalton termed these complaints I “ridiculous.” | Six officers patrolled the re-' sort during summer months, sup­ plemented by an 'additional three on weekends. After Labor Day, the detachment reverted to its one-officei* status with Cpl, Chamberlain remaining at Grand Bend during the winter time.

His trusty kite is made of spruce and canvas and weighs 40 pounds. The top height he has reached is 140 feet. Quinn, who admits he doesn’t know why he does the stunt, started his act at last year’s re­ gatta and thrilled crowds demanded his return this year. . —CPC {Brinsley UC !

The he hopes that his will be on the ! operational lift of a. jet fighfer squadron. After he has com­ pleted his military service, he is interested also in gaining a flying position with Scandinavian Air Lines. Prisoner Of War This particular young man has had a number of highlights throughout his youth to make it memorable for him. Among these highlights is the fact that he was taken prisoner of war at the»age of three years! When his country was overrun by^the German Werhmacht. in 1940, his father, who was thep serving as an active army officer in the service of his Ring was captured and taken prisoner. With typical German thorough­ ness, the Nazi forces rounded up the sons of all military person­ nel, and had them incarcerated with their fathers. However, af­ ter a brief period of detention, Kalktoft was released. The cir­ cumstance governing his release was probably the fact that it was finally considered that at ’his then age, he did not present too great a military problem to the occupying forces. By GLENN COWAN Among, the flying students at’ Centralia will be found represen­ tatives from several European and Cominonwealth countries. Currently, ‘we have here, stu­ dents from France, Great Brit­ ain, Denmark and the Nether­ lands- in addition to bur own Can­ adian trainees. On a recent visit to ‘A’ Flight which is one of the training flights belonging to the Flying Training School, I met the only two students attached to the Flight who are not French. These two men are both Danish, and in view of this, we talked together for a short while, and I learned a few facts about them, Senior in rank and service of the two is Sergeant Kjeld Han­ sen. As a matter of interest, his first name is pronounced ‘Kell.’ Sergeant Hansen’s home is in Hprsens, Denmark, where his father is employed in an exe­ cutive ‘position with the FDB chain stores, which are about an equivalent of our LobJaw’s stores in Canada. Sergeant Hansen is 19 years of age, which is about the average age of most of the NATO train­ ees.. ’He has' been iri service with the Royal Danish Air Force since he left school two years ago. He has not spent this entire time qs an aircrew trainee, however. He gained his interest in fly­ ing while he was serving at an, Air Force Radar and Radio School in Denmark. He made formal application for aircrew training, was found acceptable, and commenced his flying in-, structions on the Chipmunk trainer, in his own country. Prior to his being selected to come to Canada as a student under NATO ,Air Training Plan, he had am- mased a total <of 50 hours in­ struction in the Chipmunk. In Canada Nine Months Sergeant Hansen has now been training in Canada for nine months. He spent his indoctrina­ tion period at Number 1 Officers School at Crumlin, after which he was posted directly to the FTS at Centralia. He has now flown over 110 hours in the Har­ vard, and i% well past the half way mark on his FTS course.. His next step after graduation from Centralia will be to one of the Advanced Flying Schools for his jet training. «, As for the future, Sergeant Hansen anticipates serving for anotherzfour years on his 'cur­ t-ent contract. He hopes to com­ plete his training successfully, and serve in Denmark as an operational pilot. When this term •is complete, there is a possibility that hb may sign on for a further period of two years. Eventually, he would like to gain a captain or a co-pilot position with the Scandinavian Air Lines System and fly on the trans-oceanic or trans-polar runs between Europe and the United States and Can­ ada. Sergeant Hansen is an active sportsman and favours soccer as his first choice for a preferred sport. In Denmark, he played for his high school and for the Horsens town team in the left back position. All his sporting activities have been in the ama­ teur field however. Although he respresented his home town on their team, apparently soccer is. not played on a professional basis in Denmark. In addition to his activities, he is a keen handball player. Son Of Army Officer The only other Dane in this particular flight is Flight Cadet Georg Falktoft. Flight Cadet Falktoft, who is 18 years Of age, , comes from Nyborg, which trans­ lated, means Newcastle. He js the son of a retired "Army officer who is now employed by the I Allerup Machinery Factory in Odense, Denmark. Flight Cadet Kalktoft has served for one year in the Air Force, which he joined after completing his high school. He Was. selected for aircrew train­ ing immediately after he enrol­ led and. went straight to his pri­ mary training in Chipmunks, Be­ fore he came to Canada seven months ago, he had completed 23 hours of instruction in this particular aircraft. Like his com- . patriot, Sergeant'Hansen, he has ' amassed over lid hours on the Harvard and has passed the half way mark of hi# course. I 1 sport which he considers to be his second favorite is long dist­ ance swimming. He has swum various distances up to ten miles, and has completed this latter swim quite often, However, he states, in all modesty, tljat this is probably the limit, and he has never gone beyond it. He should-make a habit of main­ taining this ability. Judging by the modern trend of opinion with regard ta marathon swimming, there is a lqt of money to be made at it. These ■ two boys, about whom I have had this oppOturnity to write,•• are typical of the boys who come from their countries overseas to learn to fly in Can­ ada. Invariably, they are healthy arid clean living, keen to the point of fanatiscism about sports, and keen in their ability to fly, and to do it well. By the time that they leave Canada with their wings on their uniforms, they have developed into highly train­ ed masters of an exacting craft. It cannot, be stressed too strong­ ly .just how welcome they are here, and hdw glad we are that .they are with us as friends and allies.

Remembering the lovely pots of hyacinths and daffodils that have adorned the banquet tables in town 'and that were given to the sick and lonesome, it was only natural to ask Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Pickard for a few pointers in growing them. ‘ “Buy the best bulbs” advised Mrs. Pickard. “When one takes the trouble of planting and car­ ing for them it doesn’t pay to purchase any but the best.” Beware of bargains, in bulbs, she cautioned. “The better the bulbs, the sturdier and stronger the flowers will be.” . The bulbs are planted in good garden soil with a little fertilizer and a little peat moss to hold the moisture. If is simpler to mix a quantity of this mixture at a time rather than just a pot at a time. Planting The Bulbs * Most bulb dealers give in­ structions for planting when the 1 bulbs are purchased ahd issue a, chart to show the depth at which to plant each variety. Plant one, two, three or ’more bulbs in a pot according to the size of the containers. If the bulbs of the same color, especially hyacinths, are plant­ ed together they will likely . flower at the same time, but if bulbs of different colors are planted in the same container they will flower at different times. Of course if one has a “green thumb” the plants can be changed as the flower buds are unfolding and a pot of flowers made up as desired. When the bulbs are planted, set them in a dark, cool corner of the . basement till the roots, are well established — not less than six weeks — 10 weeks is better. Don't ,B« To4 Eager “Too often am a tenr bulb growers are so anxious to have their plants« bloom »that they bring them into the light Wo soon,” said‘Mrs, Pickard. Leave them until roots appear through the drainage holes in the bot­ tom of the container and then gradually bring them into the light, she ddvised. A stunt that Mrs, Rickard usds to’ have continuous bloom from the end of December till spring Is to put some of the pots in the basement and others outside in the garden in a trench. They are covered with4 leaves and then a board and earth over that again, When the pots that were kept in the basement are through flowering then on a mild day ■ dig up some outdoors and bring .■aiia.-, i mnnuii »«• riniiniiiiii.iiiaiwr-rrfiri'»^^ color or some new type each y£ar. The bulbs can not be grown again in the house an­ other year, but if planted out­ doors that fall they will bloom again the following spring.' Outdoor Planting Plant bulbs outdoors in Sep­ tember and October for spring blooming.. There is always a place somewhere in the border or around the house where a few bulbs can ■ be. planted to have" bright colors next spring. And don’t forget the little bulbs such as crocus, scilla or snow­ drop which flower so early and must be planted early in the fall: Mrs. John Baker Dies In Stanley •Mrs. John Baker, the former Melinda I Fuss, died in Stanley township on Tuesday,.
