"Does eny son have to take' all these courses?" he •asked the

"Centain.ly she can take a shorter course, replied the dean.
"But it all depends on what he wants to make of himself, .When

Badminton Activities
Sunday, January 28, was open
house for our badminton club in
Roundel Terrace. Visiting us was
an enthusiastic group of players
from the Port Elgin Badminton
Club. For those who were there
it was a 'very enjoyable after-
noon, although the response for
players from our own club, was
a bit diasppointing. It is only
good sportsmanship for those of
our. own club to help entertain
any visiting club.
The RCIAF won the Olympia
aitd world ice hockey champion-
ships in 1948.
Out of 131,000 aircrew grad-

FLYERS CAPTURE
DECISION FROM
KINCARDINE'
(By Sgt. Ed Yaternick)
RCAF Clinton Flyers hit their
winning „stride again Tuesdisy
night when they scored a decis-
ive 13-6 victory over Kincardine.
A sparkling performance by
Alexander in the RCAF Flyers
nets, turned the edge in the early
part of the game when he out-
guessed opposing Kincardine for-
wards on three different occas-
ions on breakaways.
A rejuvenated second line with
McLean at centre to team up
with Bonard and Diduck, had
both lines flying both ways. Our
boys completely doneheated the
play as they 'outskated, outplay-
ed, and checked Kincardine dur-
ing the whole of the .game,
RCAF Clinton held a 3-2 lead
at the end of the first period,
increased it to 10-3 by the end
of the second period, and won by
the final score of 13-6.
Scoring was well divided be-
tween both lines with Goodhue
coming through again with the
hattrick of three goals, Scarrow,
McLean, Benet, Godley scoring
twoeach, with sinlgetons to
Noonan and Diduck.
Alexander suffered a bruised
leg when the was crashed against
the goal post and Norris suffered
a cut lip, but both returned to
finish the game.
RCAF Clinton: goal, Alexander;
defence, Melanson, Noonan;
centre, Scarrow; wings, Goodhue,
Godley; aiternraites—Norris, Gag -
an, McLean, Diduck, Skinner.
Kincardine: goal, • Bagley; de-
fence, Small, Graham; centre,

alternates—Zold, Fulford, Court-

CORPORALS' CLUB
IS OFFICIALLY
OPENED BY CO
(Contributed)
Through the courtesy and co-
operation of the Commanding Of-
ficer, W/C R. F. Miller, AFC,
RCAF Station Clinton's newest
establishment the Corporal's
Club—opened its doors last Fri-
day evening.
Upon arrival, the Commanding
Officer was conducted 'around
the club by the president and
the former expressed his pleasure
at the amount of work that had
been clone in transforming his
old residence into such a club.
W/C Miller was then asked to
perform the opening ceremonies
and after a few well chosen
words, he cut the ribbon and de-
clared the club open. Then the
members drank a toast to the
success and prosperity of the
club.
Also present were S/L A. P.
Crowley, SWL Tinker, SVL N.
St. G. Wade, F/L P. 0, Jones,
F/0 T. Ianson, F/O D. Osborne
and WO2 H. E. Bennett, while
later in the evening, F/L C, L,
Harding and many senior NCO's
paid a visit.
How Club Started
As we have had so many en
quiries as to how the club came
into being, perhaps a short hist-
ory would be in order at this
time. •
The idea was first mooted
amongst the married personnel
who suggested that it would be
very nice if .there was somewhere
where they could entertain their
wives. This was quickly taken
up by the single men and when
the Commanding Officer was ap-
proached, he declared himself in
favour of the idea and formed
a committee consisting of Cpl's.
Averill, Freeman and • Barrett
and LAC's F'airleaten, Mannion
and Crabb, to consider ways and
means.
Officers of the club were ap-
pointed, LAC Crabb as president;
LAC Fairbairn as secretary, and
Ctrl. Freeman as caterer, and
when h e old CO's house was
placed at their disposal they Bal-
led for volunteers to do the
necessary work.
There was a most gratifying
response, so much so that the
club was opened ahead of the
original schedule and at this.
time we would like to theles all
personnel of the station for the
co npei,atann given.
Wish a room sett aside for the
use of the Chroo,rals and Air-
men's Wives Club, the ladies now
have a meeting and working
place and all indtoations at this
monnent are that the club is a
great success,
We dere now workbag' 'on an
entertainment schedule and even
pleasant evenings are anticipated.

(By Sgt. E. Yaternick)
Our RCAF Clinton Flyers
avenged the defeat they suffered
at Camp Borden when they de-
feated them 11-6 at Seafosth Fri-
day, January 26, in a high -scor-
ing wide-open game.
Our Flyers maintained'' the
stride in which they defeated
Goderioh and Listowel .and rap-
ped in six goals in the first per-
ied whilst holding RCAF Camp
Borden scoreless, RCAF Clinton
held a wide edge in play through-
out the period with clever pas-
sing . plays.
RCAF Clinton maintatxted the
pace in the .second period and in-
creased their lead by two goals
to lead 8-0 et the end of the
second.
Camp Borden came to life in
the third period. They scored
their first goal of the game at.
the foto minute mark. This was
the signal for some rapid scoring
by both sides and e total of nine
goals were scored in this period,
for a final score of 11-6 for
RCAF Clinton over Camp Borden.
Scoring honours go• to Good-
hue who came through with five
goals and Scarrow two, singletons
go to Godley, Diduck, Noonan,
and McLean,
The game was delayed in the
third period when S/L Norris
had a false .tooth loosened from
"Bell Ringing" the night before
and lost it during the game. The
teams on their hands and knees
all helped look for the missing
tooth. They found it and return-
ed it to S/L Norris.

"THEY'LL DO IT
EVERY TIME!"
(By An Onymous)
4,45 p.m,—
She presses her new apron. the
one with the frills,
Admiring the results of her labor;
The house is as spotless and skinn-
ing to -day,
As those of her childless neigh-
bours.
5 p.m,— .
The supper's on time, an unusual
thing,
The children are all spruced up
and clean;
How happy dear, hubby' will be
(wifey thinks)
To see how busy she's been.
6 Pah—
So he's late, wonder why? Guess
he had work to do.
'This Air Force sure keeps its
men hopping;
The pork chops are dry, the
gravy's Tule warm,
And the souffle is rapidly flop-
ping.
7 p:m.--
Now she looks, and feels wilted,
the kids are a mess;
They cried until they were fed.
But cheer up, now she'll set up a
dinner for two.
With the wee ones all tucked
into bed.
8 p.m.- •
-
The dinner's e wreck, how she
"longs" for a phone.
To -night she would willingly pay
$6.50 for that ten -party line,
To find why the "stinker's" away.
—But wait, perhaps there's an
accident, hurt,
So she runs to the pay phone
while tears make her blink.
Ile answers, as calmly and sweet
es can be,
"At the mess hall," where do you
think.
Next day -4.45 pm.—
It's 4,45 and the house is a mess.
Poor wife looks, and feels like a
creep,
Though she's worked like a slave,
nothing seems to get done;
She feels she could sit down and
weep.
The kids are all cranky and
dirty as welt,
The dinner has suffered delay;
When chubby drops in, what's his,
greeting? You 'guess --
"What the heck you been doing
all day."

North. Star hi The East
(By F/L 'Bob" McKee, 41105>
(Continued from previous week)
On ourarrival at Tokyo we
`found that the weather had 'de-
teriorated so badly that only a
ground controlled radar appraadh
could be made, and thanks to the
very efficient USAF this was
made very smoothly in weather
that made even the sparrows
Walk' instead of fly.
Tokyo East and' West
At Tokyo we stayed at the
i±amous Marinoudhi Hotel, built
expressly for the Olympics Japan
was never to have. The hatel was
now run by the Australian ser-
vices and left nothing in service
for anyone to hope foi•.. It was
here we found the .very hearty
Australian eating habits a Tittle
too much for mere 200 pound
Canueks. Unbeknownst to us the
Aussies have a habit of partaking
six lamb chops for breakfast
whereas we could only do justice
to four or five, that is along with
eggs.
As for Tokyo itself it is a
fascinating city of slums and
palaces end the palaces are•Iocat-
ed amidst the slums. Except for
the centre of the city, Tokyo
seems to be just a hodge podge
of ,slums interspersed with the
most magnificent residences of
the former barons, the Shoguns,
the, Mitshubishii, and the rest
who led the Nipponese cloth a
garden path of Superlorism to
destruction.
Citizens of Nippon
• And what are the people like?
Well, first of ell, one is struck
by the very polite hustle and
bustle of these energetic people.
They seem to be in a terrible
hurry on the street, but to us a
very- quiet hurry. One does. not
shout or blow a car horn as that
would be impolite. One must
not
jostle in a crowd or jam a
doorway; that too, would be im-
polite.
On investigating this super-
politeness—(which must not at
any time be confused with man-
ners)—it- is found that in very
crowded areas, to preserve na-
tional sanity a regime of polite-
ness must sway or survival is
imoossible. Without politeness,
in extreme living conditions, the
result is endless quarrel and
chaos.
The Japanese path to Empire
required elaborate politeness and
it is elaborate. For instance,
the traffic policemen on t h e
Ginza (the main street) bow very
graciously to both lanes of tree
fic when inviting them to pro-
ceed. However you must also
bear in mind he would just as
soon crack a skull with his baton
as bow if the movement did not
coinoide with his directives.
It was in Tokyo, when in uni-
housi'e, Ontario, bred conquerors?
Well, neither did 1. But it was
nice all this bowing and hissing.
Imperial Palace
The main buildings in Tokyo.
are distinct copies of New York.
and San Francisco—that is those
that are left after the bombing.
The Japanese Diet is once again
western, but the Imperial Palace
is as beautiful as described, .We
were not permitted' to enter it,
of course, but we did have the
pleasure of admiring the ap-
proaches and the palace itself
from afar:
On crossing the moat surround-
ing .the palace you cross from
Western America to feudal Nip-
pon. Here run little streams with
their exquisite bridges in minia-
ture and the whole landscape is
dotted with dwarf pines and
spruces. It tools one back to the
Japanese willow patterns which
fascinated you on the soup plates
as a child at home.
MacArthur Himself
While there, we were lucky
to see .the great man himself,
who seeuns to be the one man
of destiny who' carries the white
man's burden in Asia. A lot has
been written and is being write
ten of this legendary figure whom
the Japanese worship almost as
divinity, but whatever one's opin-
ion is before you meet him in
allhis dynamic setting, you are
left with one word and that is
"Great."
Here is a man who once was
Japan's greatest • enemy and
rained destruction from the skies
on: her cities. Now, by following
firm,but Christian policies in his
treatment of the conquered, he
has become the one to whom
Japan Maks for salvation. You
have only to see the daily gath-
ering of the thousands of Japan-
ese Who wait his arrival and de-
parture et his headquarters in
the Dad as a building to realize
their esteem and veneration for
the man who once said in defeat
"I shall return."

With more and more families getting telephones,
you can now talk to twice as many people. And so,
in that way alone, you got a lot more telephone
