all but suicidal, the three dams
were breached,
A 7Q -foot wall of water
poured down the lower v alley
of the Mohne, killing more
than 7, 000 people, including
some 1,700 Russian prisoners.
Destruction of the dams proved
a costly interruption in the vi-
tal steel production of the Ruhr
on which the German war effort
depended.

FRIDAY
EVENINGS
post troop of three light air-,
craft, a missile battery, an
armored regiment, independent
reconnaisanoe squadron equip-
ped with both scout cars and
helicopters, field engineer
squadron, signals squadron,
three infantry battalions and a
company from the Royal 22nd
Regiment (Van Foos) which is
responsible for anti-tank sup-
port. In addition there are many
support units such as transport,
medical, dental and postal
sections.
Total strength of the brigade
at the present time is 6,600
officers and men, in addition
to wives and children, the lat-
ter living in permanent mar-
ried quarters provided for them
or housed in the nearby Germar
towns and villages. The total
Canadian community includes
about 16, 000 people.
About half the officers and
men are married and accom-
panied by their wives and child-
ren, so that a complete educa-
tional system is required. Our
party visited a typical school,
one of seven in the area, which
handle an enrollment of 2,900
students. There are 137 teach-
ers and principals on the staffs
and the Ontario curriculum is
used. -It was interesting to note
that results in Grade 13 aver-
aged a good deal higher than
in most Ontario high schools,
due, perhaps, to smaller num-
bers of pupils in Grade 13 and
as a result more time available
for individual attention to the
students' problems.
Miss Helen Haines, sister of
Mrs. Roy Bennett of Wingham,
teaches in the school at Hemer,
near Soest, but to my disap-
pointment I was not able to
contact her, since our itinerary
did not take us to that town.
SAW LOCAL MEN
Our tour included visits to
workshops and recreation cen-
tres where the enlisted men
carry out their tasks and spend
their free time. The Army had
made arrangements to have all
men from our own Canadian
areas on hand for interviews.
The first man from this district
I met was Sgt. John McArdle,
formerly of Teeswater, who at-
tended the Wingham high school
before enlisting. He serves
with the 1st Battalion of the
Royal Regiment of Canada, is
married and has six children.
On his second tour of duty in
Europe, John likes the life there,
He expects to be returned to
Canada in November.
Another interview was with
Cpl. Ken Cunningham, at the
RCAF base in Marville. Ken
grew up in East Wawanosh Town-
ship, not far from Belgrave,
and is a brother of Mrs. Eldon
Hirton of Bluevale. He and his
wife and two children have
been in France since last fall
and are enjoying the life there.
I was particularly looking
forward to meeting Red Hough-
ton, formerly of Wingham, at
the base at Marville. I did see
him briefly, over the protests
of the padre who is also the
coach of the hockey team. As
you may imagine, Red was in
the heat:of hockey practice in
preparation for the champion-
ship games this week.
However, he managed to
get off the ice for a few min-
utes and whipped into the dress-
ing room to get out a picture of
his two lovely little girls. Red
and his wife and family live
about 18 miles from the base,
over the border in Belgium,
where housing is available.
Flt, l,t, Ian Hetherington,
son of Judge and Mrs. IL S.
Hetherington of Wingham, is
also stationed at Marville but
was not available during my
stay there, being on duty in
another area of the station.
AIR FORCE ROLE
Marville, France, the head-
quarters of No. 1 Wing, RCAF,
is an interesting place. Equip-
ped with F-104 Super Star -
fighters, it is now the only Can-
adian base in France used for
actual flying operations. You
may recall that several months
ago the French government
raised serious objections to any
NATO force retaining nuclear
weapons on French soil. As a
consequence, the Canadian
squadrons which fly nuclear -
armed aircraft were removed
over the border to bases at
Baden-Baden and Zweibrucken
in West Germany. The aircraft
at Marville, and the pilots who
operate them are now employed
as a reconnaisance unit and the
base personnel are still in the
training stages.
The reconnaisance role is
extremely important in this age
of rapid movement and the F -
104's are sent out to targets
which must be photographed or
studied visually so that lastmin-
ute information will be avail-
able to the fighting units of
both air force and army. The
precision required for this task
is all but unbelieveable, since
the Starfighters are sent in at
low levels, sometimes down to
a few hundred feet, and must
bring back their reports after
flashing over their objectives
at 450 or 500 miles an hour.
In addition To its role in the
NATO force, the Marville base
is the Transport. Command Sta-
tion and thus the terminus of
the thrice -weekly trans-Atlan-
tic flights to and from Canada.
For this purpose giant Yukon
aircraft (military counterpart
of the Brittania) which seat130
passengers are employed. They
are not jet aircraft, but rather
the turbo -prop machines which
have such a fine record for
safety and economy. The west -
east flight is scheduled for 11
hours and the return is usually
made in about ten hours. Wives
and families of the dependents
are ferried back and forth to
and from Canada by the Trans-
port Command.
The other Wings, or stations
of the RCAF are located at
Baden-Baden and Zweibrucken,
just over the German border,
where actual flying is done
with nuclear missiles. An air
weapons unit is maintained at
Decimomannu on the island of
Sardinia in the Mediterranean
Sea,chiefly for target purposes.
USCULAR
ROPHy
THOUGH CONFINED to a wheelchair by muscular dystro-
phy, 11 -year-old Debbie Selrnes responds happily to the
good news she has just received from The Muscular Dys-
trophy Association of Canada. Debbie has learned that
the annual March for Muscular Dystrophy raised over
$473,000.00 ---more than ever before. Her friends, the
Canadian fire fighters turned out by the thousands to help
make the campaign a success in communities across Can-
ada. Debbie knows that these funds will finance more
than 50 research projects that are racing the clock in
order to save her life. Debbie's personal message to the
fire fighters and everyone else who helped: "God bless
you all." ----Photo: J. Rooke.
Air Division headquarters and
the tele+communications squad-
ron are located at Metz, France,
The fully -equipped F-104
Starfighter is a formidable de-
terrent weapon which costs the
Canadian taxpayer upwards of
two million dollars. It is cap-
able of speeds up to 1500 miles
per hour under full after -burner
thrust, but is seldom operated
at such high speed. Significant
of the role of these fighter
squadrons is the fact that the
RCAF's most advanced base is
just eight minutes jet time
from the Iron Curtain,
About 6,000 Air Force per-
sonnel serve the bases in France
and Germany, and along with
their dependents make up a
sizeable Canadian community
in the area. The men general-
ly were less enthusiastic about
living conditions in France
than those we talked to in Ger-
many. It is difficult to locate
living accommodations for
wives and families when perm-
anent married quarters are not
available. In fact, there is an
extensive trailer camp just
outside the base at Marville.
The educational system for
Canadian children is a dupli-
cate of that maintained for the
Army personnel in West Ger-
many. In both areas hospital
facilities as well as medical
and dental care are maintain-
ed for the dependents as well
as the servicemen.
Our press party visited many
of the important work areas and
flying control centres at both
bases.
Security against spies or
other information leaks is tre-
mendously important on bases
which use secret weapons. One
of our calls was at the dog -
training compound where RCAF
men gave us demonstrations
with the ferocious watch dogs
used to patrol the perimeter of
the nuclear weapons area at
night. Personally, I wouldn't
face one of these animals for
any sort of money.
A lasting impression of the
visits to both Army and Air
Force bases was the spirit of
good -will and co-operation
which exists between Canadians
and the local populations.
Mother of Two
Is a Skilled
Rock Blaster
Newest candidate for the
"Unusual Occupations for Wo-
men" list is surely that of Mrs.
Bernice Davis of Campbell Ri-
ver, Vancouver Island, B.C.
She has qualified for a certifi-
cate of competency in safety
fuse and electrical blasting.
Over six thousand such certifi-
cates have been issued by the
Workmen's Compensation
Board of B.C., but this is the
first time that the recipient has
been a member of the gentle
sex.
It all started some years ago
when she learned the rudiments
of her husband's business - he's
a blasting contractor and away
from home a good deal of the
time. In his absence Mrs. Da-
vis Looked after the routine
shipping and receiving of ex-
plosives at their magazine.
However, in time she also ac-
quired a good grasp of the more
dramatic side of the business,
and it was suggested that she
could be of even greater value
to the family business if she was
a licensed blaster. She tried and
passed the exams, becoming
the first professional woman
rock blaster,
Mrs. Davis is also the moth-
er of two children. So now
when she threatens to "give
them a blast" if they don't be-
have.... they behave!
Trying to sell a housewife a
home freezer, the salesman
said: "You can save enough on
your food bills to pay for it."
"Yes, I ki:ow," the woman
agreed. "But we are buying our
car on the bus fare we save,
Then we are paying for our
washing machine on the laundry
bilis we save, and we're paying
for our house on the tent we
save. We just can't afford to
save any more right now."

THIS IS THE "PANTS LOOK" American women favor,
reports The Denim Council, pointing out that most wo-
men favor skirts for dress -up occasions, not trousers.
Here, slim, fitted blue denim Capris are shown with a
matching blue denim jacket. The feminine touch is ac-
cented with a colorful floral blouse, and matching hand-
bag. Pants or no, handbags are indispensible to the
fair sex.
TIERS FOR MY LADY—But they are on a graceful denim
