Spare Our Children If Not Their Pets!
(By Sat J. A. Brown, Radar Section)
This editorial will probably relieve the mind of the person
in the light blue greysedan who zoomed past two little boys and
a dog on Monday, the 13th, about 9 am.
lie will be relieved to know he didn't kill the little boys
'but only killed• their dog. The sad task of burying and 2!xplaining
why their. dog wouldn't be staying with them any more, was
left to the children's parents.
Two little boys grieve for their pet; it may well have been
"worse. It may well have been a family mourning fpr their boys.
Are you the type of driver who robs children of their pets, who
'robs parents of their loved ones?
A .funny thing about a warning; it's' always for „the other
'fellow. This warning is directed to all you good drivers, all
you drivers who don't have to slow down for crossings end
".'slow" zones, and who can handle your cars at fifty or sixty,
'driving past children by the road, . You scoff at the idea of
pitting a child against a man in a prize ring. How much more
'foolish is it to pit your 3,000 pound car against the wit and agil}ty
.ef children!
'Have you ever stopped to think how inadequate a driver's,
""I didn't see them," or "I just couldn't stop in time," must sound
'to a bereaved parent? Don't wait to find out because you are
:going to kill someone's child—maybe your own—if you don't slow
own and "give way" to children by the road.
Speed limits on roads don't mean a car has to travel at
20 or 50 miles per hour. Govern your speed by the circumstances
:and help keep pun children "whole and hearty."
The county roads and highways are particularly dangerous to.
'the children, as they can not be kept off these roads all the
time and with slush and ice coming on, it will be much harder,
.tor' you to stop "in time". Please co-operate.
What can drivers do to help? )
((1,) Govern your speed according to the circumstances and
conditions;
12) Slow down to fifteen miles per hour when you see
children by the road;
'(3) Be a courteous driver to others on the road.
'What can parents do to help?
(1) Try to keep all children •offthe roads at all times;
(2) Report any excessive speeding to the proper authorities
'so action can be taken against -offenders.

SAF Makes First
A Very Gose Fit
(Ry LAC Philip Sparrow)
A lighter and less experienced
RCAF Clinton hockey team
threw a scare into thepowerful
Walkerton Merchants. in Walk-
erton Monday night with the
Merchants winning 7-6,
First Period
( Lauchleen openedthe scoring
in the first period on a pass from
Knox that beat Alexander after
a nice try. ' It was tied up four
minutes later by Scarrow on a
rebound off the goalie's pads
by Goodhue. Shortly after Royer
drew a two -minute penalty for
slashing and the Merchants put
on four forwards" and Scarbor-
ough nut the Merchants ahead
on a pass from Wieler.
About two minutes later the
referee handed Walkerton two
penalties seventeen seconds apart
and the RCAF could not capital-
ize. The period was ragged and
the Merchants outshot the RCAF
Clinton team. End of first 2-1
for Walkerton.
Second Period
Things started to roughen up
In this period as Gibson received
a cut on the upper lip by a high
stick. There were more penalties
in this as the Merchants drew
four as against one for RCAF
Clinton. Again RRCAF. Clinton
had the advantage of playing six
men against four, and this time
they capitalized by Goodhue
getting two goals in less than
one minute on assists from Scar -
row, Cantin and Skinner. Zuke
was the big gun for the Merch-
ants es he got three goals and
Scarborough got the. other. End
of second 6-4 for Walkerton.
Third Period
The RCAF Clinton team came
out fighting and remembered the
trouncing they took by the same
team last year and . wanted to
avenge themselves. RCAF Clin-
ton opened the scoring .in this
period in less than a minute and
a half after it started, on a goal
by Godley from Goodhue which
made the score 6-5. Then about
mid -way through the period Scar -
row got a pass at their blue line
and went right in and drew the
goalie out and shot the puck in-
to the lower right-hand corner
of the net, which tied the scare.
Then with less than four minutes
to 'go Moos of the Merchants got
a loose puck in the RCAF Clin-
ton zone after AIexander stopped
a number of shots,'Moos beating
him with a low rolling puck,
The Merchants outshot the
RCAF Clinton team by 43-31
which does not indicate the tempo
of the game as the' RCAF Clin-
ton team, carried the play in the
last two eriods, Fans—the RCAF
Clinton team bears watching.

'1st R. and C. S. Wolf
Cub Pack Invested
(By LAC J. H. R. Bishop)
The Wolf Cub Pack of RCAF
Station Clinton held its first in-
vestiture night on Thursday, No-
vember 9. The official name of
the Pack will be "The 1st Radar
and Communications School Wolf
Cub Pack. The shoulder patch
will be a square with the letters
R & CS over a large number 1.
The ceremonies of last Thurs-
day were important to the Pack.
Flying Officer Robertson, who
has been the Scoutmaster of the
Clinton Scout Troop for some
time, attended the meeting as
representative of Mr. Harry
Firth, the local District Com-
missioner of Scouting. As the
senior Scouter present, he in-
vested LAC J. H. E. Bishop as
Cubmaster, of the Pack and Cpl.
J. L. Barrett as the Assistant.
Cubmaster. This ceremony was
carried out in a very impressiv
and efficient manner by Scout-
er Robertspn. On behalf of the
Pack and the Leaders, the Cub -
master takes this opportunity to
thank Scouter Robertson for be-
ing present to do such a fine
good turn.
Following the investiture of the
Leaders, 17 recruits were made
oficiai members of the Wolf Cubs
of Canada. Sammy Jenkins,
David Lamb and Glenn Scott
were made sizers. Cubmaster
Bishop invested the boys as
members of the Wolf Cubs and
Boy Scouts Association of Can-
ada, and Assistant Cubmaster
Barrett presented the Pack neck-
erchiefs (coloured orange with a
red Air Force Eagle in the cor-
ner). By receiving these necker-
chiefs they became official mem-
bers of the 1st R and CS Pack.
F/S Craig, chairman of the Scout
Group Committee on the Station,
presented the lapel pins. These
pins are for wearing with the
ordinary suits and not their uni-
forms.
At the end of the long list of
investitures, Mr. Trott, principal
of the Station Public School, was
asked to say a few -words. The
words spoken were very approp-
riate for the occasion and every-
one present enjoyed ti's part of
the program.
Following this the Cubs play-
ed .a game which was super-
',ised by the Assistant Cubmaster
who is known to the boys as
Baloo (meaning the bear). At
this point I would like to explain
that the official name of the Cub -
master is Akelah (the old. Wolf).
The meeting closed with the
"Grand Howl" and the "Cub
Dismissal" which is "Good Night,
Good Cubbing and Go Straight
Hone",
On Saturday, Nov. 11, the Cub
Peek attended the Armistice Day
service in Clinton in a body - Mr.
Trott of the Station Public School
arranged for the donat!:ls of a
wreath from 'the school.
The Pack left the Station in
private cars which were gen-
erously donated by the parents.
At Clinton the Cubs joined the
Scouts of the 'Clinton Associa-
tion. The parade was formed up
at the local Legion Hall, and
paraded to the Town Hall. After
a short service the parade form-
ed up again and marched to the
Cenotaph, Sizer Sammy Jenkins
and Janet Mills, one of the stud-
ents of the school, laid the wreath
on the Cenotaph. They did the
job very smartly and Sixer Jen -
kin's salute was a credit to the
Pack, At this point I. would like
to thank Janet for doing such a
fine jab, and coming out to help
make it a success.
Everyone finally arrived back
in Camp tired, but happy.

AN "INSIDE STORY"
1900—it wasn't only
Grandma's cooking that
drew the crowds. She had
the first aluminum, sauce-
pan in town! In many
other Canadian homes,
too, this was the begin-
ning
eginning of a bright, new era
of better c o oking utensil e,
1950—Today, daughter's
kitchen belongs to. the
"aluminum age". She en-
joys a -larger selection of
aluminum utensils. This
"food -friendly" metal also
protects the flavour, quali-
ty and purity of the foods
she buys.
1925.—When mother got
married, she already
knew how to enjoy life
With aluminum. She.
brewed Dad's coffee in an
aluminum pot... cooked
those big family meals
more easily in quick,
even -heating aluminum.
MINTS' TO THE HOUSEWM
Whenever you see aluminum on the
outside of a food or a drink, there's au
"inside story" of cleanliness and purity.
Aluminum utensils clean easily. To
remove natural deposit left by foods and
water, use a tablespoon of vinegar..
