A. (Bud) Olson an- nounced. Asa service to horse owners, in Armed Forces Day slated June 10 Base Borden's exciting Armed Forces Day 72, Saturday, June 10, will include an air show, breath -taking ground Manoeu- vres and more than 190 military school displays. Canada's largest military training centre will throw open its doors to the public from 12:00 noon until 5:00 p.m. June 10, to show a comprehensive cross-sec- tion of the toil involved in Base Borden's mission. Three CF -5s used in operations by the Canadian Forces will streak across the skies before the spectators; a heavy Buffalo transporter aircraft will dem- onstrate fantastic short take -off and, landing manoeuvres; the attractive Sea King helicopter will hover near the stands and pluck a man from the ground in a daring aerial rescue technique; the Argus, a maritime search and rescue plane, and the Tracker, will fly over. Otter aircraft will also make their 'presence known during more demonstrations of landing techniques. The youthful Barrie Area Air Cadets will take off in a glider and a short time later be back toy show how they can land. • Last year Borden's Big .Show attracted over 13,000 spectators; the show planned for 1972 should draw even larger crowds. • February 1971, federal veterinar- ians started using the Coggins test and since then more than 50,000 Canadian horses have been tested through, the Health of Ani- mals Branch laboratories at Hull, Que. When the testing began, about seven per cent of the horses re- acted positively. That was con- sidered to be a significant rate of infection. Since then, the rate of positive reactors has dropped.to about one per cent and continues to decline. Last year the federal govern- ment also introduced require- ments whereby imported horses had to react negatively to the Coggins test before they would be allowed entry to Canada. "With this lower level of infec- tion, we, have decided to move to the second stage of the program to eradicate the disease," Mr. Ol- son said. "We will pay compensation for `horses that react positively to the Coggins test and are slaughtered. "There will be provisionin spe- cial cases for owners to keep horses which have reacted posi- tively under. strict , quarantine supervised by Health of Animals Branch veterinarians. "We h ve in mind cases where the -lm a h• �ial value to the owner, such as valuable breeding animals and pets," he said. "These animals will be marked to identify them as positive to EIA. Details of payment of compen- sation will be announced soon. First Aid classes under' the aus- pices of St. John Ambulance have been given in Canada since 1883.

John Woodhouse Crusade, held nightly last week at F. E. Madill Secondary School under the sponsorship' of Huron Christian Men's Association. About 200 men, women and. children gathered nightly to en- joy the inspirational, messages of John Woodhouse, a veteran evan- gelist, who has conducted literal- ly thousands of radio and TV services throughout •the United States, Canada, South America, West Indies, Europe and parts of Asia. . Mr. Woodhouse stressed in his orations -that in the complex and frenzied times of the present, "the safest place for anyone is in readiness for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ".. He interpreted many Bible pas- sages to mean that the rush and pressure of modern times may presage the end of the world as envisioned in scripture. a time to be fully prepared to meet God. Adding greatly to the services was the organ music by Ro- maine, an accomplished musi- cian, and the song evangelism of DeVerne H. Mullen of New- market, a commissioned song evangelist in the Church ofs the Nazarene. A final service will be held at 8, p.m. Sunday, June 4 in Goderich at Knox Presbyterian church for residents of Goderich, Wingham and Clinton areas.
