The grand march was rudely interrupted by the intrusion of three funnier -than -ever clowns whose antics brought shrieks of joy from the delighted children. Each clown carried a carton, the contents of which turned out to be peanuts in the shell, and a hectic peanut scramble followed. No sooner had this activity sub- sided somewhat than F/S Pfaff, the skillful master of ceremonies, announced that refreshments would be served. Each child (and parent) was given as much ice cream, chocolate milk and dough- nuts as could be consumed. In addition, as the children left for home tired but happy, each was handed a bag containing enough goodies to last all week. The members of the committee ho were 1SVL McVeigh, F/S Mrs. W. Burton Wins $100 Bingo Jackpot t Sergeants'Party A (BY RCAF Reporter) F/S and Mrs. Steele. " In all the annals of glittering parties held at the Sergeants' Mess, none has surpassed the An- nual Halloween Party and Dance held on the evening of Saturday, November 3. Yes sir, the old Mess really rocked on Saturday night. Sgt. Jim Clarke did a glorious job in arranging the Hallowe'en de- corations and Aubrey "Hot Lips" Haines was never in better form, An added feature was the pres- ence of F/S Bob "Yodelling" Pfaff' who, as Master of Cere- monies, gave ample vent to his talents. Approximtely 200 members and honourary members were in at- tendance and the costumes in evidence were of a quality befit- ting any pageant of old. Invited guests included W/C and ,,Mrs. B. G. Miller, S/L and Mrs. George Bury, S/L and Mrs. T. R. Duff, S/L and Mrs. W. L. Baynton. (By Sgt. F. W. Barkley) Another successful bingo was held Thursday, November 1 it Roundel Terrace, RCAF Station, Clinton. The large attendance of Air Force personnel and their many friends from Clinton and sur- rounding district was an indica- tion of the popularity these bingos have attained. Many cash prizes were won by the participants and Mrs. W. Bur- ton 15 Toronto Blvd., Adastral Prize for the lady's most orig- inal attire was won by Mrs. J. A. Austen who was scantily clad in the garb of "Moon Beam Mc - Swine." Mrs. Austen literally radiated 'the character which she was portraying end truly elect- rified the assembly with the or- iginality of her attire. Immediately upon the advent of the Witching Hour, a mignffi-, cent buffet appeared, so adroitly managed that there was, in truth, a degree of magic: The supper centred around chicken and ham,, end the accompanying display, of all manner of tasty viands gave • evidence that the skilful hand of Cpl. Larin had once more been at work. The thanks of all those in at- tendance are directed to the com- mittee which was comprised of Sgt. Fetch, F/S Boyd, Sgt. Clarke, F/S Pfaffand Sgt. Hef- fell who, under the co-ordination of F/S Cray, did such a stellar job in the preparation of a truly enjoyable evening and one which will be difficult to surpass in. sheer magnificence, Prize for the gentleman's most original habille was unquestion- ably won by F/S "Sammy" Bstwick, 'who appeared as the "Bongo Bongo Jungle Chief". The realistic nature of his costume sent half the assembly scattering for shelter on his entry into the Mess. Complete with spear and the typical detached skull of the head-hunter, he presented a truly ghastly mien. Of course, the adornment in his nose was to let every one know that his comely wife had him well in hand. The judges in these hotly con- tested trials were Mr. Shortreed, S/L Bury, F/0 Mason, WOl Fost- er and Sgt. Heffel, with the lat- ter four judges' wives assisting in the gentlemans' award.

Which earned him the $100. According to the Bordermire, AC Russell's pals on the station still don't know whether it was all part of the show.
