RCAF Team
Tops St. Marys
In Ball Opener
The baseball season at RCAF
Station Clinton officially opened
with a "bang" on Thursday even-
ing, May 27.
Opposing the Station Clinton
team, intermediate "C" class, was
the team from St. Marys who are
rated in the intermediate "B"
class. The two teams battled it
out for seven innings, the game
thenbeing called on account of
darkness. The final score at that
time was 10-4 for Clinton.
Both teams put on a very fine
performance with many fast plays
and lots of action throughout the
game. The playing field appeared
to be in very good condition.
Pitching for the RCAF team,
Roe made an excellent showing
with 14 strike -outs and only two
hits, in the seven innings. The big
• hitter for the Clinton team was
• Jordan, third baseman, who rolled
UP ]t single, two doubles and a
triple in four times at bat.
Much of the credit for the Air
Force team's fine showing is clue
their coach, F/S Starcher,

News
The bulk of the activity in the
pack during the past couple of
weeks has centred around the, for-
mation of two softball teams and
several practice games. Billy Mil-
ler is the captain and manager of
a team consisting of the yellow and
red sixes while Garry Olein pilots
the team made up of the white and
brown sixes, Both teams are prac-
ticing very hard for the forthcom-
ing schedule with teams' from the
pack in the Town of Clinton. Many
of the Cubs recall last yea'r's score
and they are,determined to avenge;
the massacre.
Even with the tough, ball Pro-
gram, some Cubs still found time
pass tests for proficiency
badges. Congratulations! Barry
Brown has qualified for a team
player's badge, and so has David
Naish. A first alder's badge has
been earned by Garry Poxon.
The regular Scout and Cub pap-
er drive was held. on the evening
of May .17. The results were very
gratifying. Many thanks to all the
householders who so faithfully sav-
ed their old paper and magazines
for the drive. It is hoped_ that all
future drives will be as successful.
Until next week—"Good Hunt-

Operation "Big Plant"
Shown here are airmen engaged in operation 'big plant" re-
cently completed at RCAF Station Clinton, To help beautify the
station grounds 1,000 young white cedartrees were,obtained from
the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests and are now plant-
ed in various locations about the Station area. The trees, in ad-
dition to improving the appearan ce of the station grounds, are
expected to provide an excellent windbreak in a few years time,
Complete Sea Survival Display Is
P
Planned On Clinton's Air Force Da
Y
For hundreds of years people
who sailed the oceans have con-
stantly been faced with the prob-
lem of how to survive in the event
of a disaster at sea. Sailors
throughout the apes have manag-
ed to stay alive for many days on
rafts and in small boats.
As a special attraction on Air
Force Day, RCAF Station Clinton
has planned a complete display of
sea survival equipment. The most
modern gear and up-to-date tech-
niques will be demonstrated dur-
ing the afternoon. Be sure to visit
the station on June 12 when you
will see the survival demonstration
and many other fascinating dis-
plays.
The basic problem of survival at
sea has always been one of provid-
ing some craft that will float and
sufficient food and water to keep
one alive. For the old time sailors
perhaps the least difficult of these
problems was to provide some
floating craft. Small lifeboats have
been carried on ships for years as
well as liferafts and lifejackets,
The problem of storing food and
water so that they remain useable
for months has been a thorny one
indeed, and only recently have sat-
isfactory methods been devised.
Many aircrews in the RCAF as
well as crews and passengers of
civil airlines are daily facing this
problem of survival at sea, With
the great number of aircraft that
are constantly flying over water
areas the possibility of a forced
landing must always be considered.
What has been done in recent
years to give aircraft crews and
passengers the maximum chance
for survival when forced down on
water?
All RCAF aircraft which fly
over water now contain the most
up-to-date survival equipment.
Modern technology has produced
such items as the rubber life raft.
Collapsed and folded it is no larger
than a suitcase; inflated it can
comfortably hold up to 12 people.
High energy foods are carried in
concentrated form. Drinking water
is stored in cans and remains
col-
perfectly
sillsh fvertslpsible till can cfor
water
Into fresh water in a short period
of time.
Airmen forced down on water
now have available M them the
latest equipment to help speed
their rescue. A specially designed
radio transmitter, carried with the
survival equipment, can send out
distress signals for many miles,
enabling rescuers to pinpoint the
exact location of the unfortunate
party.
A small package, about the same
size as a cigarette box, can be
hung over the side of the life raft.
From this package spreads a bril-
liantly colored dye which is visible
to searchers for many miles as a
yellow -green spot against the
ocean. These are only a few of
the many new innovations in life
saving equipment in use in the
RCAF to -day,

But there is something encouraging about Russia's latest
efforts to establish closer ties this sidf of the Iron Curtain
through the medium of athletics, The Russians have invited.
western track -field stars, soccer and hockey teams to play
against Communist athletes on Soviet . fields.
And more important ' still, the Russians have indicated
that their athletic representatives may yet be permitted to
compete in America.
Let us hope this isnot all just propaganda. We dont have
to be politicians to see that the sooner we get a chance to
show young Russians what the western world is really like,
the sooner will an important gain be made in international
relations. That gain may be just a May seed, but tiny seeds
often grow into trees.

through professional diplomacy alone. Sometimes the man -in -

We would like a chance to welcome Communist athletes
to this continent, We want them to see for themselves what
