Another consideration WhiCh RAP Should lceep in mind is that of a well-balanced pro- gram which provides activities for girls as Well as boys, for different age groups and for dif- ferent talents. Recreation Director Gravett has been attempting to provide this variety in re- cent years and his efforts should be encouraged. However, the broadening of the pro- gram should proceed with caution since it is possible for a community of this size to be over- organized, particularly for school age children. Even now, if children participated in all of the activities available to them, it Would be doubt- ful if they could do justice to their first re- sponsibility, that of their education. Obviously, parents should and can control this situation but some consideration a this problem should be given by RAP, in consultation with school officials.

But since the HO- ger, Russia has deyeloped the "Bison", a four-engined jet, which can overfly North Am- erica and return borne after one air refueling, The "Bear" bomber was deyelpped later and is armed with air-to-sure face missiles and carries a nuclear bomb. The most modern -Russian bomber is the "Blinder". With swept back wings as America's fastest fighters, it is capable of supersonic speed andcerries a nuclear bomb. Capable of longer flights than the other three planes, Russia is still developing better bombers. Yet there are many Canadians in high places who say the day of the manned bomber is over, thus our Bomarc missiles are cibsolete. Full recognition Second in a series pf articles by Lynn Lashbroek, president of the Oetario Weekly News. paper Aespciation, following his recent trip to NORAD (North American Mr Defenee Corn, -mend) in. Colorado Springs, Col- orado, In company with 2? di- rectors of Canadian WeeEy Newspapers Association Like most Carledians, and Americans for that matter, the writer hie always been of the opinion a" panic button" existed somewhere in our continental defensive or offensive system. Perhaps this completely er, ronepus idea Game about !rpm cartoons, or from somewhere. Wherever the idea of a panic button originated it was soon erased from mind when we were assured no such button existed either at NORAD or SAC head- quarters (Strategic Air Com- mand) et Omaha, Nebraska. MISUNDERSTANDING ERASEI? In fact, many more misunder- standings concerning NORAD AND SAC were erased as news- men were lectured to for ten hours on every subject from Canada's role in the defence of North America, to the Cuban build up, to the future of space warfare. One of the misunderstandings visitors had concerned the ob- solescence of our Bomarc mis- sies and Voodoo intercept e r planes. These misunderstand- ings were immediately scotch- ed by NORAD officials. BOMARC MISSILES Firstly, our 64 Bomarc B missiles are undoubtedly the world's best ground-to-air de- fensive weapon against bomb- ers. Designed to be armed with nuclear warheads, it is next to useless if armed with high ex- plosive charges. As for its period of useful- ness, newsmen were given to understand it would be five and possibly ten years yet before Russia has enough Intercon- tinental Ballistic missiles to be safe in doing away with their bombers and rely solely on ICBMs. With the United States hav- ing over 1,100 of them now and Russia still with fewer than 100, the gap between the two figures reveals how much Rus- sia still relies on bombers for its offensive strength. So long as this is the case our Bomarc missiles will con- tinue to play an important role in the defence of the continent. VOODOO LNTERCEPTERS As for our squadrons of 1,200 mph Voodoo Intercepters, the necessity for them and/or fast- er planes, will continue to exist as long as the bomber threat continues. With neither Bomarc s or Voodoos armed with nuclear weapons there is a large re- latively unprotected gap above the most heavily industrialized part of Ontario and Unite d States, If a surprise attack comes any time between now and when both our missiles and planes are armed with these ultimate weapons, the enemy's chances of knocking out North America with a single Sunday punch is all too obvious. U.S. DEFENCES The United States has a string of fighter bases just below our border from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They have B o m ar c missile bases also, two of these being at the western end of Lake Superior and on the American side of Sault Ste. Marie. Our two Bomarc sites at North Bay and La Macaza, Que- bec, are key positions in the string of missile sites across the middle of the continent, DEFENSE STRATEGY NORAD's defense strategy is to intercept Russian boenber.s as far north in Canada's unpo- pulated area as possible with Bomarc missiles armed with nuclear warheads, Operated by push button, and instantaneously launched ) ca- pable of speeds far in excessof fighter intercepters and being able to climb much raster, the Bomarc would be the firetwea- pon deployed, Controlled from the grOu n d for the first few seconds of flight, radar in the Bomar c takes over es soon as It finds a plane in the area. The radar "locks" on the enertyplane and continues on to the kill. BOMARC "A" OBSOLETE Bomarc "A" rhisSiles -- now obsolete and the ones referred to when Canada's obsolete nitse siles are talked about--had trouble whan mock enemy' planes "jammed" their radet Sets. But the improved Be mare "B" missile overcomes jean-, Ming with a new type of radar -Which "locks" on an en e iti y plane, or "loeke" on the "Wife mirig" enemy will use In an ere fort to turn the Misege away. Thtts it can be seen our 64 Bernard ei'e with a necleer Warhead attached are as close to a foolproof and anti=aircraft, weapon as has been devised to date. SHOOT PLANES DOWN UP NORTH Because the loss of life and property could be great if many bombers got far enough south for Nyke missiles to be used, NORAD reasons it would be bet- ter that as many planes as pos- sible be shot down as fax north in Canada's unpopulated area as possible. The best chances of this hap- pening is for our Bomarc mis- sties to be armed with the most destructive warheads for bomb- er defence, thus one more rea- son our government should take immediate action--not waiting until after election day or until He was a member of the executive of the South Huron Hospital Association during its fund-raising days and later served a term as president of the board. He was also first presi- dent of Exeter Industrial Development Corpo- ration, president of Exeter Lions Club, chair- man of the Mohawk Hockey club which brought several honors to the community. Prominent in the Liberal party in this area, he stood as a candidate in the federal election of 1958, He also was active in church and fraternal groups. With this record of activity in the com- munity interest, it is characteristic that he has now a full-time position in public service as crown attorney for the county. As he prepares to take up residence in the county town, the community wishes him well. And it expresses to him its sincere thanks for his active and out- standing service during his residence here, Mrs. Cochrane, too, merits recognition for her contribution as a public school trustee and in women's and church activities. The- tribute 'paid recently to W. G. Coch- rane, QC, by Exeter Public Utilities Commis- sion was well deserved. Mr. Cochrane played a key role over the past decade in the development and improve- ment of municipal services to meet the growing needs of this community. His guidance, along with that of the other commissioners who served him during that period, helped to estab- lish a sound utilities operation which is a credit to the community. But this was only one of the many fields in which Mr. Cochrane made a contribution here and for which he should be recognized. As mayor in the early fifties, he led an efficient council which undertook a number of major projects and inaugurated programs and policies which still prove beneficial today. Among these was the installation of artificial ice in Exeter arena and the establishment of a pension fund for employees. He represented the town during the coronation ceremonies of Eliza- beth, H.

Whenever you compile a list of the Virtues of living in a rural area such as THE INDUSTRIAL MORTGAGE & TRUST COMPANY One of the funniest pieces I've seen in some time is a booklet called "Who's in charge here?", a nonsensical use of candid pictures of the world's political figures. . Prepared by Gerald Gardner, it con- sists of about 100 photographs into which "balloons" are inserted to attri- bute sayings to one of the figures in the picture, in the manner of comic strip technique. The words attributed to the people are cleverly adapted to the expressions on the faces or the unusual situation caught by the camera. It may be a bit useless to attempt to describe the humor in writing but it's- worth a try. Here are a few samples: Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are -shown standing, in the rear of a vehicle at ebme public function. Philip has a beteleged right hand partially hidden under the lapel of the coat.

The cat, after an absence of three weeks, crawled home one night with a rat trap and chain on its paw. Evidence indicates "Riley" had been imprisoned by the trap in a nearby barn for most of the time without food, finally expend- ed a super-feline effort to make its way home for help. And speaking of animals, the first appearance of the groundhog has been reported. Harvey Smith, RR 1 Clande- boye, says he spotted an early riser on his farm Thursday, March 14. It is good to be home again after a couple of months in the Sunny South where they tell you the principal thing they have to sell is sunshine. But just like it has been in Canada and the rest of the world, things have been a little topsy-turvey down there. The thing! heard most was that it might be wet and cold down here, but conditions are much worse up in Canada, During the month of February and the early part of March it rained almost every other day or so, but fortunately it sdon dried and things returned to normal. During the early part of the season the citrus fruits were hard hit by the frosts and the shipment of those fruits from Florida were thousands of boxes short of what they had been in other years, Flowering shrebs were af- fected as were the orange groves but the greatest lose, so it seemed to me,particular- ly in St. Petersburg, was the destructiort of the Royal palm trees and of the banyan trees, trees that send dawn from their branches additioeal roots, spreading over large piece land. Some of the palm trees are showing signs of life but More than 5,000 of the ttoyal palms are being Out down and destroyed and the banyan trees are being rooted up. On the approach to the Mettle teen.' pier that seterids well Out into the bay there was a long row of ttoyal palms and these at Christmas time were dee orated and lighted, making a Wonderful Sight. These trees have all been retrieved. - The farrtous green benches have theft devotees when the Weather le fine and the same old stories of courtships off the green benches are frequently heard. I have been asked, how about the prices of food in St. Pete and I have replied that I have found them to be fairly rea- sonable. At the r e st au r ant where a goodly number of us frequented for breakfast the menu and the prices were fairly staple. For instance, one egg, any style, one slice Of bacon, grits, toast and coffee, two cups if desired, the price was 24e with one cent tax and usually a tip for the waitress; for 34e and tax one could have a bowl of oatmeal, toast and toffee, or three pancakes, syrup and cof- fee. Anything extra costs more in proportion. A great many of the winter visitors have only two meals during the day; a late break- feet, a snack at noon and a dinner early in the evening, There is usually a line-hp atthe restaurants for dinher.
