Elsewhere on this page the complete programme of the opening will be found , , The dandelions are no longer yellow but they are now blowing their seeds all over the ground to insure a good crop for next year so I guess I will have to find something else now to, take my spite out on . . ' 41 41 THE landscapers are still work- ing in the Married Quarters dist- rict end It won't be too long we hope before some of the mud has disappeared .

The runway is going to run east and west on the sports field , It will be started on June 9 so if you want to see a fete of engineering come on out and see the boys build it because it is going to be about 120 feet long and we are going to fly our Model Aircraft on it on Air Force Day It should be completed in about one hour (we hope) ' 41 aF THE cement is still hardening on more foundations for the Quonset Huts and' the first one will be occupied by the middle of July'The ditch diggers are out in all their glory clean- ing out the deains and winter mess on the banks of the parade square, and pretty soon grass will blossom forth and another spot will be beautified ...

Several hours out, with the flying perfectly smooth, the loudspeaker intoned: "Everyone please return to your seats and fasten seat belts."

Needlecraft News by Pau."e Roy lF YOU have the urge to go through your home from attic to basement with soap and water, polish and brush—then the homemaker's equivalent of spring fever has captured you. You're in its clutches and won't be free until you've finished your house- cleaning, rearranged your furniture and added new life to your rooms in the form of curtains, draperies and ,slip• covers. Lighting is a significant part of your room decora- tion. Through correct light- ing your color scheme will conte alive at night instead of sinking into a drab mono- tone. The addition of an at- tractive lamp that fits in with your room's decorating scheme can give an entirely new appeal to your room. Pictures enable your room to express personality.That's one reason why you should choose scenes that you will enjoy looking at. Pictures are a matter of personal taste. In choosing a frame remember that the picture must be dominant, not the frame. The width of the frame depends upon the location of the picture on the wall. The way you hang a picture is very important because if a picture is worthy of gracing your wall it de- serves proper attention to good hang- ing. Hang your picture against the wall. Tilting is definitely out. Conceal the hanging. There are hooks to sup- port any weight adequately. Lacy crocheted accessories lend ole' ganco and add fresh beauty to your home. Many hand -crocheted pieces be- come family heirlooms as you no doubt know. Bedspreads and table. cloths, which require so much work, are worth every minute of the time you spend on them. Nothing can re- place a lovely lace cloth or spread 4-4-4 +4 In The Air Force_ "COMRADES IN ARMS" prepared by the Directorate' of Public Relations Over 100 Commonwealth Air Residents of Rockeliffe air sta- tion, near Ottawa, will swat snore mosquitoes this summer than us- ual. In other years they have ' benefited from experiments con- ducted by the Department of Entemology and other government agencies in co-operation with the RCAF. This summer they won't be so fortunate. The RCAF was all set to spray the breeding grounds of the pests —particularly bad in the area— last week but the specially equip- ped aircraft had to be diverted for a search. By the time it had returned to its home base, the mosquitoes already were on the wing. Oh well it's only the fe- male of the species that bites. OUCH. Force veterans from Newfound- land to British Columbia journey- ed to Ottawa by air, rail and car last week for the second annual convention of the Royal Canad- ian Air Force Association held May 25-26. In addition to elect- ing a new slate of officers to carry on the association's work. far the coming year, 'delegates showed great interest in the cur- rent expansion plans of the .RCAF. Formed in 1949 the association has now a membership' of over 10,000 former members of the Commonwealth air forces. The aim of the'associationis to pro- vide any assistance possible to the RCAF and to perpetuate Air Force esprit de corps. • Lakeview Casino GRAND BEND DANCING SATURDAY JUNE 2nd ART HALLMAN and his Orchestra ADMISSION: $1.25 each 22-b Heartwarming A lovely picture of mother and child brings a smile to each of us, be- cause it revives either our memories or our dreams, Don't put off taking a photo- graph that may come to mean more to you and to others than all your worldly goods.
