S/L MUSSELMAN.
RETURNS I-I1RE
FOR A PERIOD
(By P/O C. N. Lochhead)
We wish ,'t welcome back to
the RCAF and No. 1 R & C$,
S/L A. L. M•usselmlan, Elmira,
who spent several weeks at this
sohool in 1941-42. S/L Musselman
has an impressive wartime re-
cord. He enlisted in. the RCAF
in April 1941 and served initially
as a Radar Officer 'Evirth Coastal
Command.
In July 1942 S/L, Musselman
assumed a responsible position
with RAF Bomber Command
Headquarters In England. Radar
development was so rapid during
the war years that the task of
keeping operational personnel.
fully .. trained on all the latest
airborne equipment became dif-
ficult. This responsibility rested
with S/L Musselman.
Officers and Senior NCO's who
had been trained in the funda-
mentals of radar received their
advanced training under S/L
Musselman and his staff on all
the newest airborne radar equip-
ment as soon as it was released
from the Telecommunications
Research establishments, The ef-
ficient manner in which this
training was accomplished is
borne out by the fact that S/tL
Mu'sselmlan was twice mentioned
in despatches. •
Atter his release from the
RCAF, S/L Mussehnan was ac-
tive in the Canadian Veterans'
Training programme in Fort
William. In September, 1947, he
became head of the mathemaltics,
and science department of the
Fort William :High School.
S/L Musselman recently has
been re -appointed in the RCAF
and is with us for a period of
familiarization .in the technical
and administrative functions of
our present Communications sec-
tion prior to 'the anticipated post-
ing of F/L N. S. Greig.

WELL HOW DO YOU DO? One
again (through no fault of th
newspaper) here I am with news
and views, mostly my own of
course . . I had a very pleasant
vacation and on a day like this
I With I was still on it (only
somewhere else of course) . , I
seem to be here in spirit but, be-
lieve me, my heart is somewhere
around London, or maybe it's my
body I haven't settled down yet
to find out. By sitting here
and looking out my favorite win-
dow I can see many changes a-
round "Ye Oldie Camp" , , . Marry
faces have changed; some have
graduated; mast of the instructora
are burning grey; an of the stud-
ents are still shaking, and some of
for)the boys have found enough am-
bition to march up and down
the Parade Square with rifles
over their shoulders . . (I won-
der what that S,P. stands there

THE NISSEN HUTS are well on
the road to completion and the
interior of a few have been paint-
ed that beautiful Air Force green
(That's a new color in the RCAF,
never saw it before) . . The
landscaping has been completed
around the married quarters so
now we have a pretty fair idea
of where all the lawn mowers
are gradually disappearing to ...

THE THREE NEW MESSES are
under construction; I should know
—I tripped over the foundation of
one of them last night . . The
air, or should I say atmosphere,
is •blue around the vicinity of
PMQ . . . The hydro people are
very busy making the long an-
ticipated and talked about con-
version to 60 -cycle and for the
first time some of the refrigerat-
ors are getting a defrosting ..
Little red trucks keep buzzing up
and down and the drivers are
losing their records; they haven't
hit one person as yet . . (Ex-
cept me of course—and what dif-
ference does that make?) , , .
Congratulations, boys! , ,

THE LAWNS are a lovely green
and are being well cared for
within, the Compound . . Build-
ings 22, 23, 24 have new hanging
signs of a various designs .
For those who can't read, just ask
the nearest airman and he will
tell you what building is where
(but make sure he wasn't going.
to ask you the same question)"
. Their white picket fences
certainly make a marked im-
provement over the dandelions
that once marked the sidewalk
(now we have something else to
keep 'clean)
I AM TOLD that the PMQ have
a paper drive every Monday night
and that so far it hes been going
over very well . All of you
kind people who live up That -a-
way, put your papers out, neatly
tied, every Monday and the com-
mittee will make sure they are
removed post-haste , , ,

THAT'S JUST ABOUT IT for this
time but I'll be back again

RCAF Sergeant Wins -
Centralia Mayoralty
An RCAF sergeant defeated
three commissioned officers in
municipal elections at RCAF Sta-
tion, Centralia, to become the
first "mayor" of a growing, but
still unnamed Air Force town.
Sot, J, B, Roy, running an a
ticket of civic improvement in
the air force subdivision, polled
140 votes to win the first magist-
rate's chair by a wide margin.
Mayor Roy and his council will
run civic 'affairs of this modern
community which soon will be
given a permanent name. Because
it is on an air force station, the
town never will be incorporated,
but will operate as close to gen-
eral municipal regulations as pos-
sible.
The hither mayoralty candidates
were F/L Harry Pickard who re-
ceived 94 votes; Al Paxton, 68
votes, and Jim Wicken, 27 votes,
Mayor Roy will halve a council,
of seven assisting him in: admin-
istering civil matters not directly
effecting the military function of
the station. Candidates who ran
second will be stand-in council,
lors in case incumbents are post-
ed.
The council is 'composed of;
Ward One, Sgt. Donald O'Hearne,
With Cpl. William iClussons run-
tier-up;
