Starting about a week before Christmas and continuing through until New Years busy men have been
delivering hampers of food and baskets of fruit to sick and needy people in Exeter and area. The gifts
are a traditional way of remembering these people carried on by both the Legion and the Lions Club.
These go to Goderich, Hensall, Exeter and area as well as the Westminster Hospital at London. Shown
here loading the car in preparation for the trip to London are Ted Pooley, Eugene Beavers, president
of the Legion and Bert Ostland treasurer. Mr. Pooley has been active on this committee for over 20
years. (T-A photo)

Leaders stress need
— Continued from front page
ed out the need of the farm or-
ganizations to work closely with
the resource people to fulfill the
needs of the people in the or-
ganizations.
He called for the establishment
of more schools such as leader-
ship schools and folk schools to
give people the opportunity to
work with these resource People
and broaden their views on life
by discussing different topics
among themselves. He also
stressed the need of keeping in
touch with Junior Farmers and
4-H programs so that we are
always aware of the development
of our future farmers.
C. H. Thomas, president of
the Federation supported these
views and suggested education
should be made available to those
who wished to take advantage of
it. In his statement he said:
"When surpluses disappear
society will demand more ef-
ficient production which will tend ,
to make agriculture a more regu-
lated industry to the detriment of
those farmers who do not wish to
become more efficient. Efficient
use of land will become more and
more the interest of governments
and groups representing the non-
,farm segment of our society.
In order to increase efficiency
we will have to turn to more
sophisticated forms of technol-
ogy. Since the war we have moved
rapidly toward the type of farm-
ing which relies on big tractors,
combines, chemical weed con-
trols and insecticides, and build-
ings engineered for very specific
purposes.
We are already learning to
apply the new technology of the
data processing machine to our
management in the fields of re-
cord keeping, financing and
breeding and may soon be in the
field of production. These ad-
vances not only make capitaliza-
tion more difficult but also
creates the problem for educa-
tion and retaining of farmers in
the best use of these techniques.
Farmers of the future may
have to spend several weeks
each year attending courses and
tours just to stay abreast of new
developments. The Dept. of Agri-
culture is already offering many
such courses but I believe other
farm organizations should bear
most of the responsibility for
organizing and conducting such
programs so that the Dept. could
devote more time to resource
material and personnel.
The future of agriculture looks
Very bright for those farmers
who are now established and are
operating efficient well managed
farms. The future looks less
bright for the new individual
trying to start with too little
capital and education."

Dashwood to connect in with a
main cable to allow for extended
area service. When the change-
over is made next fall there will
be no toll charge for residents
calling Grand Bend, Exeter or
Zurich.
The switch to dial is expected
to take place about the end of
October, 1966. This will be the
last exchange in the Hay system
to be changed to dial. Plans call
for the framework to receive
the terminal cables to be in-
stalled at the new building early
in the spring and new telephones
installed in homes later in the
summer. The actual d i al i n g
equipment will be installed in
the new building in August.
The new building and equip-
ment will handle some 360 ser-
vices when the new operation
starts with room for expansion
in the building to handle double
this many as needed without hav-
ing to expand the building.

This year at RCAF Station
Centralia, has been a year of
changes. The Station Adjutant,
F/L D13 Hogg, retired early in
the year and was replaced by F/L
CE White. immediately there-
after, G/C LH Randall, retired
and handed the station over to
the new Commanding Officer,
G/C OF Ockenden. The command
of the officer Selection Unit
changed hands later in the year
as S/L AE Paxton left for North
Bay and his position was filled
by S/L JMG Demers of the Lang-
uage Training Unit. S/L GR Hol-
linshead took over the reins of
Primary Flying School from S/L
RA Caskie who assumed duties
at the Air Force College, Tor-
onto.
The year 1965 was also one
of many visits and tours. Among
these were high ranking service
officers on official inspections
of the Station's facilities and
informal visits from neighbour-
ing service clubs who were in-
terested in the activities of this
station.
Lt. Gen. S. Walsh CBE, DSO,
CD, Vice Chief of the Defence
Staff was the first of the VIP
visitors. He was followed by
A/V/M CH Greenaway, then
Commander of Air Force Train-
ing Command, Air Commodore
LJ Birchall, Commandant RMC,
and later in the year, Brigadier
Anthony Bailey, Deputy Com-
mander of the new Integrated
Training Command. Air Com-
modore CW Burgess, the Air
Officer Commanding, RCAF
Training Command, made his
official inspection late in Octo-
ber and just recently the new
Commander of the Integrated
Training Command, Air Vice
Marshall R. Sharp, DFC, CD,
made an appraisal of the train-
ing facilities at Centralia.
It was not all "brass" that
visited our unit. Air cadets from
the Southern Ontario region were
hosted- here as well. Recruiters
from across Canada came to see
what happened to their recruits,
and school teachers were famil-
iarized with the opportunities of

School children were also en-

foreign students. Centralia be-
came the first step in a training
programme for Tanzanians and
Malaysian Pilots. Danes and Nor-
wegians continued to be trained
at the Language Unit and the flow
of Canadians were put through
the selection processes prior to
their induction in the services.
Service Clubs from Grand
Bend, Exeter and Dutton, Ontario
were given a tour of the station
G/C G.F. Ockenden
facilities so they would appre-
ciate and understand the role and
function of the Air Force in this
area. It was a privilege to meet
and talk with the local residents
of the area and to exchange
ideas.
The men of the base partici-
pated in many sports events,
some of which included golf,
curling, hockey, softball, soccer,
flag football and track and field.
These sports were competed on
the inter-mess as well as inter-
station level.
There were some unpleasant
memories as well. Two fatal
air crashes took the lives of
three of our pilots and motor
vehicle accidents claimed three
lives. A third aircraft crash
was narrowly avoided when one
of the training aeroplanes was
hit by a rifle bullet which barely
missed the control cables.
RCAF Station Centralia has
had a busy and productive year.
Plans for the New Year are
progressing and the Role for the
unit is unchanged from the past
years. It is on this occasion the
Commanding Officer, G/C GF

cers and men, wish to extend to
the residents of the area, the
best of the Season and continued
prosperity for the New Year.
