April will mark the 113th anni-
versary of the founding of , the
RCAF Station at Clinton. There,
the first radar training establish-
ment in North America came into
being in 1941. fIn April of that
critical year of World War II, a
team of experts searched for a
.suitable --.location; Among the re-
quirements were .adequate power
facilities, reasonable proximity to
good sources of supply, transport-
ation and, preferably, a not -too -
prominent location. ' Last but not
least, it. was essential that it be'
located near a large body of water
to approximate, conditions .:in be-
sieged England. And the require-
ments were met in •,a location• two
miles south of the town of Clinton
in 'Huron County and construction
was begun immediately.
A picture taken !May 27th, 1941,
shows a .gently rolling area : of
farmland bisected by a highway
with a .concrete silo prominent on
a farm. By June 30th, an Air
Force station has arisen and only
the silo remains to show where
the farm once stood.. This silo,
incidentally, still stands 'cin the
edge of the Clinton parade square
and is 'well -remembered by thous-
ands .pf •personnel who trained, at
the • station during and after the
war.
During the initial days of the
Bettie of Britain, on July 2O,th,
1941, Wing" Conunapdar
Cdeks' QRAF) became the first Com-
manding Officer" of No. 31 Rbyal
Air Force R,adia`•Sehool at •Clinton.
Oddly enough, although Britain's
need for trained technicians in this
field was so great, the first trainees
to .be put on eourse were .m n of
the. United States Navy and Marine
•orps. Thus the -role= in the out=
come of the war of graduates of
radar training At 'Clinton was 'play-
ed on a truly world-wide stage.
Although complete historical in-
formation is not on hand with re-
gard to U.$.'A. forces, it is almost
certain that graduates of Clinton
took part in every major campaign
of the Second World War after
1941, from the South West Pacific
to the North Eastern Arctic.
Soon after its inauguration, a

The raising of, STANDARD bred horses could be a profitable
sideline in .this HURON -BRUCE area, if• fair, government regula-
tions were in effect. Present rules favour the THOROUGHBRED
group and interests, and are very unfair. Farmers in this area
are capable of raising good horses. Surely asking for equal
rights is not asking too much. t asked some of the present
Liberal members aboutthis and have been promised support.
