Reunion Dance The Annual Banquet and Dance is to be held October 17 at the Blyth Memorial Hall. Air Cadets recruiting in Blyth By David Emslie BLYTH - It's recruiting time again, and Lieutenant Mac Andersonof the 543 Squadron in Wingham was at Blyth Public School on September 5 trying to enlist some children for the Air Cadets. He started his pitch by showing the Grade 7 and 8 sutdents a film on the Snowbirds. He told them that if they followed through with. their training they could one day be flying one of the famous planes. Next, Lt. Anderson explained some of the activities involved with the cadets. The cadets meet every Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Wingham Armories, and once a month they hold various activities. During the Wednesday classes the cadets get junior phase training, air navigation, meterology, theory of flight, air craft struc- ture, citizenship and leadership and engine instruction he said. On,top of this, he added, they have, "first aid training, both emergency and standard, and survival training which shows how to build a structure, build fires, send signals and which are edible plants." The special activities also cover a wide variety of subjects. '`We have two glider days this fall. You get a day of gliding, you go up with the pilot. It is approximately a three to five minute ride," Lt. Anderson said. He said it is nice if they can get the whole group of cadets to stay for the whole year, because the following summer they can have the chance to go to basic camp. "Camp is kind of rough. They treat you like the lowest people on earth because they have to have you ready in two weeks," Lt. Anderson told the students. "One year at camp, the kids got to go up in jets." LT. MAC ANDERSON exchange program. "We have an Interna- tional Cadet Exchange. Cadets from Canada go to Europe and the United States," Lt. Anderson explained. All of the NATO countries 'are involved in the ex- change so the cadets may get the opportuni- ty to visit England, Germany, France or Holland, to name a few places. According to Lt. Anderson, if a person stays in the cadets for five years, and they have a good record, it is easier to get into the Armed Forces. Once in the forces, one of the major benefits is the help a recruit can get with schooling. "If you go through an officer training pro- gram, for example, to be a doctor, you go through the first year of pre med, and they (the Armed Forces) will put you through medical school," he said. Once through medical school this person will have to serve three to five years with the forces, and following this term they may stay or leave the forces to pursue their career. Aside from the help with schooling, the cadets will find they are at an advantage once •in the forces if they have had cadet training. They will have a faster chance for promotion as after basic training they will have seniority over those with no previous training. "Even if they don't follow through, it is super," Lt. Anderson said. "There was one guy who crashed his plane in the northern U.S. He figures that without his cadet sur- vival training, he wouldn't have lived." "To me, this is one of the greatest youth organizations in Canada," he said. Anyone interested in joining must be 13 years old as of January 1. Nineteen years old is the maximum age for cadets. Lt. Anderson stressed that if anyone is in- terested, but will not be 13 by January 1, they should come out as soon as they turn 13. Once through the basic camp which trains the cadets in first aid, drill, rifle handling, and physical and recreation training, the recruits will have the chance in later years to take more specialized courses. Some of these specialized courses include photography, aircrew survival, group search and survival; and an introduction to air traffic control. Another benefit of joining the cadets is the Walton hosts squirt baseball tourney_ By Betty McCall Memorial Trophy saw Mitchell playing WALTON - The 12th Annual Walton Squirt which Mitchell won 9-0.
