Clinton News-Record, 1946-02-07, Page 1WITH WHICH IS INCORPORRATED THE CLINTON . NEW ERA CLINTON, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1946 . The Home Paper With The News and C. Sehool, No. 6 -68th Year; Whole No. 6187 _-' New Park Board a ed; Extra Policeman Sought Plan Warble Power Supply Experiment Goderich Township is to be chosen for an experiment in control of the warble fly by the Agricultural Com- mittee, Huron County Council: Alex Alexander, Grey Township, chairman. The reason for its choice is that it is very nearly an island. An insect pest, the warble fly has become an increasing menace to cattle in Ontario. Having launched this winter an educational campaign in Huron which is intended to lead to an active war against the warble in the county in the summer season of 1946, the agri- cultural committee of council is now planning to cooperate with the live- stock branch of the Ontario Depart - anent of Agridulture, in testing the use of a power spray to deal with the warble fly. The proposal to use Goderich Town- ship as a test area was unanimously endorsed by the township council at its January meeting, when it was put before them by Reeve George Ginn. and F. K. B. Stewart, Clinton, county agricultural representative. The town- ship is bounded on the west by Lake Huron, on the north by the Maitland River, and on the south by the Bay- field River. The isthmus which leads into the township is only five miles wide, from a loop of the Bayfield River at Clinton, to the main stream of the Maitland River where the lat- ter dips south near Holmesville. Farther to the east, in the neighbor- hood of St. Columban and Dublin, tributaries of the two rivers approach within half a mile of each other. Plan Three Sprayings It is proposed to give all cattle in the selected "island township" three sprayings during the months of March, •April and May, in an effort to stamp out the warble fly com- pletely. Planning at present calls for the spraying to be done in the barn, although cattle in Western Canada are said to have been sprayed out- doors in March without injury to their health. Details of the division of costs are yet to• be settled; it"is tentatively ;proposed that it be, divid- ed three ways between provincial department, municipality and the owner of the cattle. The cost of the series of sprayings is estimated at between 30 and 40 cents for each animal treated. Information from the United States. and from Western Canada where similar experiments have been tried, is that the sprayer used for white- washing buildings will serve ef- ficiently to spray cattle with the warble -killing chemicals. 0 G/C E A.

He held this position until bis retirement in September 1945, when he was re- placed by Squadron Leader A. S. Turnbull, formerly Senior Administ- rative Officer at the School. Upon reorganization to a perman- ent school, this unit became known for a brief period as the RCAF Sig- nals Training School, but more.re- cently was re -named Radar and Com- munications School (R. and C. S.). RED CROSS NOTES "Frons Clinton comes a story of intrntional ts TI MMBamagazine, owh ch continuer s to quote: "Wing Commander Kenneth R.

"Wing Commander Patrick is quot- ed by TIME `I. haven't been able to find any difference between Ameri cans and Canadians: Originally RDF School In an article by Ewart M. Haacke, B.Sc., published in a recentaissue of Electrical News and Engineering, a description of the School is provided,. and, in part, is as follows: "For four years, many people in Canada. England and the U.S.A. have known that No. 5 Radio School at Clinton, ,Ontario, was .a radar train- ing school. In fact, when the school vas young it was called an EDF school said RDF (Range and Direction Finding) is the oidfashioned name for radar. But none could speak of it, although students passed through by the hundreds from 1941 to 1945, service personnel of the RAF, 'RCAF and USAAiF. • Radar stands for Radio Detection and Ranging, and is the American term which has replaced the original British "RDF" which indicates ates the same thing. his The school was originally set up by .British personnel of the RAF in 1941 and later taken over by the ROAF. British equipment was first used, of course, and English, Canadian and Later American trainees were taught. equipment was manufactured in Can- ada at Research Enterprises Limited in Leaside and as the radar program of. the U.S.A. got underway, equip- ment q iPment was received from there. It was a pioneer in most radar training on this ,continent and a tribute te the its efficiency may be noted from, fact that U.S. personnel were still training there When V -J Day occur- red, in spite of the existence of large radar -training schools in the U.S.A.

Jenkins of the U.S. Army Air Forces, who received the Legion of Merit for his work at the Clinton School, said: 'The army gave me the Legion of Merit . That's like getting $1,000 for going to a good show'." Time calls the record of the Can- adian -American combination at Clin- ton "a significant story of inter- national co-operation." "In four years, 2,325 Americans (and 6,500 Canadians) have been graduated from Clinton's Royal Can- adian Air Force radar and com- munications school. The U.S. students, most of them university men, thought so highly of the school that it finally became the model for U.S. training centres. "In extra-cirricular activities, as in work, Yanks and Canadians mesh- ed cempletely. In off hours they built a ski tow, a television set and a movie theatre, drank beer at a wet canteen (log cabin decor) and danced at a dry canteen (in swish chromium, called (`The Rainbow ,Room'). For 135 Canadian airwomen on the station there were plenty of dancing part- ners. Many students liked the place so well they refused weekend passes. Not one American soldier had been paraded, for any offense. "Much of the credit went to the easy-going teamwork of slender, dark-haired Wing Commander Pat - viols - and Major Jenkins • MAJOR A. M.
