RCAF Defeats
Goderich 8 6
(By F/S E. Yaternick)
RCAF Clinton, playing their
second night in a row, outskated
and outfought Goderich Lions in
a fast and thrilling hockey 'game,
which' 'kept the large crowd of
spectators on edge right to the
final bell, on Friday night, Jan-
uary 19, at the Goderich Arena,
RCAF won 8-6.
The game featured cleverly
executed passing plays by both
teams, a tightening in the de-
fence, and made this one of the
outsanding games played this sea-
son. Final outcome of the game
was not established till the 16 -
minute mark of the final period
when our station team took a
two goal lead and kept Goderich
bottled in their own zone till
the final bell. Some stiff body
checks were handed out by both
teams, Norris catching Malty
Newcombe in the secohd period
which slowed him for the re-
mainder of the game.
RCAF Clinton held an edge in
play from the start. Searrow
opened the scoring for the Flyers
at the 11 -minute mark. Benard
put RCAF Clinton two up at
the 14 -minute mark. Goderich
came to life shortly after with
Newcombe scoring two goals in
Iess than a minute to tie the
score, Merriam ptit • Goderich.
aheed 3-2 with 20 seconds to go
in the first period to end the
scoring.
RCAF Ci nton opened' fast in
the second period with Goodhue
tying the score at the one -minute
mark with the first of his four
goals, only to have Goderich go
ahead again 4-3 on .a goal by
Dubick. Scarrow tied the score
again at the 13 -minute mark and
Goodhue put the Flyers ahead
5-4 at the 18 -minute of the sec-
ond period. Again RCAF Clinton
held the edge in play to gain
the lead which was not relin-
quiFhed.
The Flyers maintained the
pace and pressure through the
third period. Goderich tied the
score at 5-5 on a goal by Bisset,
but Flyers went ahead 7-5 on
goals by Goodhue and Benard.
Goderich at onetime held a two-
man advantage but could only
manage cne more goal to make
it 7-6, Goodhue scored the clinch-
er at the 16 -minute mark to end.
the scoring 8-6.
There were no individual stars
on the Flyers team, everyone
playing a standout game, from
Alexander in goal to everyone
else on the ice. Several scoring
chances were still missed by our
station team, especially when
Cagan shot wide of the empty
net with the Goderich goalie
sorawled on the ice ten feet out.

Chinese funeral in Hong Kong
brass band end saw what ap-
peared to be a brass .hand ap-
proaching, On closer inspection,
however, it proved to be the
funeral of a wealthy. Chinese, and
the more wealth ;the greater
noise at the funeral.
First ,:amc'the brass band play-
ing "Colone). Bogey =the band
50 strong ,in bright blue uniforms
followed 'by a huge golden
hearse on top of which one saw
a huge portrait of the deceased.
Immediately behind the hearse
was a group of strangely dressed
individuals with huge dragon -
like masks blowing 'truanpets to
chase away the evil spirits. Then
followed hundreds of hired per-
formers all doing various forms
of acrobatics. Everyone in the
funeral party was in holiday
mood, 'This is Chine.
Power of Communism
One of the nights we were
there, we were treated to a
demonstration of the power of
populattion arrayed against the
West. The Street .Railway Work-
ers Union staged a demonstration
in front of the Victoria City Hall.
The demonstration consisted of
approximately 15,000 men and
women doing the Communist
"Yanko" dance which looked like
a sort of ,conga line a la Chinese.
The dancers, while snaking
through the streets doing the
dance, chanted the words. "Mao
Tse Tung" over and over in a
hypnotic rhythm. We watched
the performance from a close but
safe distance, but when the work-
ers clashed with the police, not
knowing how to fight Chinese
style complete with knives, we
made a strategic and rapid with-
drawal.
How Sleep the Brave
While many things we saw
astounded or impressed us, the
most touching of all events on
our trip was the visit to the
Canadian 'solders' graves in the
cemetery outside Victoria.
The warriors, who went so far
to fight so well and bravely die
are buried in a beautiful ceme-
tery overlooking the battlefield
on which they . fell. To make
this possible. it (was necessary
to clear away the top of a moun-
tain and this was done by the
British Graves Commission.
The cemetery is located on the
slope of a mountain overlooking
Benard, MacLean, Skinner, the valley. where the regiments
were deployed, and un, the' bay
may be seen' the submerged
wrecks of the vessels 'sunk the
terrific battle, for this is where
the main force of the Japanese
Army chose to land.
Now all is tranquil, For the
present, the rows of white
crosses look peacefully over the
bay end fresh flower); front the
flower garden nearby placed each
clay on the graves. These flowers
are °placedalike on the graves
of the gallant Brigadier Lawson
and the equally brave Private
Wilson.
(Note; Brig, J. K. Lawson, who
commanded the Canadian forces
at Hong Kong, and lost Ibis life
there, was a brother of Colin
Lawson, R,R,1, 'BayBield).
Hong Kong to Tokyo
After four days in the tense-
ness and turmoil of Victoria
City, Honk Kong, we set course.
for Tokyo, the capital of Japan,
once the •abject of western hate
and now so much in the world
news. We all looked forward to
visiting Tokyo probably more than
any other place. on our trip, it
was an enigma to most of us.
How did the Japanese behave
under their conquerors,
Flying the Hong Kong -Tokyo
route in, the winter and under
the existing international situa-
tion gave room for a little anx-
iety. The route to Tokyo passed
directly over Formosa, the island
redoubt of Chiang Kai Chek and
the Nationalist government, who
were well equipped with fighter
aircraft and quite touchy about
strange aircraft approaching their
shores. Not that we feared any
harm if they knew we were
Canadians butt being the first
North Star aircraft in those places
it might give rise to some con-
fasion. And being confused by'
fighter aircraft can prove to be
exciting and even unpleasant.
From information obtained
from the British telecommunica-
tion
elecommunication service at Kai Tak airport
we obtained a possible frequency
of the TAIPEH fighter control
in Formosa. Approximately 100
miles fromthe coast of Formosa
the radio officer contacted Taipeh
and much to his surprise found
that the operator he had contacted
had gone to school in Vancouver.
Well it's e small 'world we hive
In! From there on everyone felt
very happy and the flight con-
tinned 'without incident.

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE
SAYING ABOUT
£15691QI annnct
The B of 14 featured Personal
Planning on a test basis at the
Canadian National Exhibition last
autumn, in two weeks, 27,000
people asked for a copy of the
B of M's booklet on
Personal Planning. Here are some
of the comments these_ people
have volunteered:—
"A very workable budget. YOux
service is appreciated."
. wish we had started the
planlong ago."
"Thank you so much for showing
us theway to make a budget work.
Have tried for a year with no
success, but now 1 think we can
really live and save with
Personal Planning,"
"The beat yet."
" appreciate commonsense
method of handling money."
"Swell idea."
Most people leave themselves out in the cold on
payday. They pay, the grocer and the baker,., the
milkman and the landlord. Everybody and his unde
dig into their pay envelopes but themselves.
Result — they're usually in a financial strait -jacket
. and they worry. They worry about bills on hand.
They worry about bills to come. They warty about
unexpected bills. Money is always on their mind—
souring their pleasure jn living. And cobwebs gather
on their plans for tomorrow.
What's the answer? There's only one...
, t Ic$g0Acj ...WRY?
Personal Planning is much more than just drawing
up a budget. Budgets are often frustrating dog -collars.
They usually tit you down and make Iife a very
monotonous affair.
No; Personal Planning shows yon how to live with-
in your income and enjoy it. It's a complete financial
program, cut from the pattern of your particular
needs and problems.
Personal Planning won't help you make millions.
But—given an honest chance—it will cure your
'day -after -pay-day blues.'.
You'll learn how to make your budget work for
you, instead of you working for it. And you'll also
find that Personal' Planning, helps you realise your
plans for tomorrow much sooner than you have dared
to hope.
