In this state, we were now taken for our dinner, which consisted of bread, butter, tea, potatoes, gravy, roast beef, cabbage and tapioca pudding. In the afternoon we visited the Royal Canadian Air Force, We were allowed to sit in the yellow Har- vards and silver -coloured Yale planes which we see winging their way ac- ross Western Ontario skies. From here we visited the •Link training building where a pilot -to -be went through his lessons in a cockpit er- ected in front of the instructor's desk. The next interesting place was where parachutes were repaired and packed for the' airmen of the field, The control tower which was up four storys was the last place we visited, In this rooms was radio equipment through which were sent signals for the planes to take off and land. I Our next great thrill was our ride on the large thirty-five ton ram tanks which are operated by a crew of seven men, One interesting' fact is, that when travelling along highways, the rubber treads will melt the strip of tar in the centre of the road, and throw it in all directions, believe it or not. As time was catching up on us we were obliged to leave our friendly city for home. After changing from the bus to our truck we popped questions at Bob, our driver, left and right. Because Bob served in the first Great War and also served in many other foreign cotmtries, he was able to give us a good picture of the coun- tries as they stand today. The most interesting part of his talk as we drove homeward, was the vivid pic- ture,of commandos training in Eng- land and Scotland. I would like to take this opportun- ity. of thanking all persons who help- ed make our trip come through with flying colours, and if this tour is carried out next year, I assure our tin cadet of the 5 C I an nnUlre,„i,i•J„",,,,1!. 1 Il ,.�,,.,.1.,,, 1.1 a,II.,I„l,,.I, I.M Collegiate Chit Chat By 1), KEITH HARRISON un"u""unuau,„aur”„ureuen"n"uuw„rnuuiu",.
