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.

Big Day
Is Your
RDAF, Flight Cadet Falktoft an-i Flight Cadet Falktoft is also
ticipates the successful comple-la keen sportsman, who plays in
tion of his flying training,’ and i the goalkeeper position with his
then a return to Denmark where ; home town soccer team. 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.

Purchase
For Spring Flowers
Catalogues for spring flower
ing bulbs arrived last week
which is a reminder that now
is the time to plan and purchase
for flowers in the home during
the winter months and in the
rockery or garden next spring.
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:
