THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15; 1951
(By AC2 It. C. Butchard)
On entering RCAF Station,
linton, it isn't long before you
ear of a very popular and noted
[gore who is quite renowned for
is weightlifting abilities. He is,
f you haven't already guessed,
gt. Jack Viaraleau of the Clinton
,hysical Training staff.
Jack Varaleau is well _known
o many Olympic and British Em -
are Games followers. His weight-
ifting record has been excellent
lime 1948 when he placed sixth
n competition with 26 different
Kruntries: •
His greatest achievement, how -
aver, came in• the last two Brit-
ish Empire Games where he fin-
ished on top of the heap, in both
England and Auckland, New
Zealand. In Auckland last year
he lifted 320 pounds.
The goal that Jack is looking ,now we have a couple of go
forward to now is the Olyiiipic boys ort the station that have a'
Games •in Finland next year.
There he hopes to better his al-
ready good Olympic record.
In 1954 at Vancouver where
the Empire Games will be held,
Jack says he'll be on hand as
an official, if not as a compet-
itor.
With your first meeting of Sgt.
Veraleau, you have a feeling of
slight skepticism as did some of
his Canadian stablemates, who
' flew to Auckland last year.
spateh and clean 3erk which are
the three standard lifts used in
competition.
"'When weightlifting was first
recognized as a sport it catered
to- men of vast proportions and
tremendous natural strength,"
Jack tells us.
"These men sometimes weigh-
ed in excess of 300. pounds. In
those days they were highly paid
to perform acts of supernatural
strength by lifting, carrying or
pushing huge awkward objects
which 'required little skill but an
overwhelming amount of strength.
For weightlifting instruction
Jack follows one major rule:
"Training, not .straining, is the
purpose of working with weights."
Now that weightlifting is being
recognized as one of the better
ways of body exercise, Jack is
getting a lot of support through
the RCAF. He has now some
of the best equipment with which
to work,
"A great deal of interest will
develop on the camp once We get
going," says Jack. "And right

lifter is a big brute of a men

"particularly Don Moisey from
EdirLOTIft011. Now there's what we
call a natural. He is lifting 230
pounds now. and he's only been
seriously training for a month
or so."
Johnny Salike who hails from
Quebec is _ also showing good
progress. ,
Paul Renault, training foi.' his
pilot's wings, often comes down
from Centralia and works out
with Jack and other lifters here.
Paul is one of Canada's better
lifters.
Sgt. Varaleeu himself is French -
Irish decent and comes from Can-
ada's capital city, Ottawa. He
started 'lifting weights at 18.
"I started for no outstanding
reason," he says. "Only that I
was going around with some fel-
lows who were interested and I
just followed along."
Sgt. Jack, who was transfer-
red here late last year, is resid=
ing in Clinton now with his wife
and two children.
Jack says, "I doubt if Pat, my
seven-year-old daughter, will

The Vampire, like all jet fight-
ers, is particularly well adapted
for interceptor duties as it re-
quires no warm-up period. As
soon as the engines begin to turn,
the aircraft is .ready to fly.
The Goblin Jet engine, like
others of its type, will burn high
grade aviation gasoline, ordinary
automobile gas or kerosene. The
RCAF Jet fighters are fuelled
with Turbo -jet kerosene.

Ready for combat, the Vampire
weighs a little more than six
tons. It' has a wing span of 40
feet, stands 6 feet 3 inches high
and is 30 feet 9 inches long.
The Vampire holds the world's
altitude record of 59,446 feet.
The Canadian record of 49,300
feet was set last April in an
RCAF Vampire by Flying Officer
Cecil Day of 421 Fighter Squad-

All RCAF Vampires are Mark
[II models and are fitted with
the Goblin Mark II jet engine
which delivers a thrust of 3,000
pounds at a maximum engine
speed of 10,20Q, revolutions per
minute.
The aircraft has an operating
altitude of 44,000 feet and a rate
of climb of 4,100 feet per min-
ute. The cockpit is artificially
pressurized so as to maintain a
'cockpit altitude' of about 25,000
feet, even when the aircraft is
actually at its extreme altitude
of 44,000 feet.
The maximum sea level speed
of the Vampire is 524 miles per
hour, which is approximately
three-quarters _the speed' of sound
at that level.
Normal fuel loacrOf 330 gallons
gives the aircraft a range of some
800 miles. When long range tanks
are fitted, the range can be in-
creased to over 1,200 miles.
