Country and held a post with the North Bernet) govexnnzent in Singa• pore for some years before the war, In the summer of 19 9 he went to Canada for e holiday. When, in Aug- ust 1989 it was, evident that war was imminent, he applied for enlistment in the RCAF but was turned down. Instead of catching the first boat back to Singapore, he got himself a job in Toronto and worked there un- til May, 1940, when he applied again. to the air force, This time, he was accepted and did his training at No. 1 I,T.S. and No. 1 AOS in Toronto, No, 1 B, & G. school, Jarvis, Ont., where he was awarded las observers wing and. No. 1 A.N,S.,, Rivers, Man. For a short while he was at an operational training unit where he, received a eourse in the navigation of bombers across the Atlantic, and finally, in November, 1941, navigat- ed a U.S.-built Consolidated Libera- tor four -motored bomber to England where he was promptlyposted to his present squadron. Another observer in this squadron who arrived there by devious routes is Sgt. James W. Stirling, an Ameri- can citizen who hails from Niagara Falls, N.Y. He was born in Scotland but came to the United States some years ago when his parents moved across the Atlantic, When they re- turned to Scotland later on he did not go with them but stayed on to take out his naturalization papers. In 1939, he decided o take a trip to Scotland to see his parents for the first time since their return. He was still over there when war broke out but managed to get a passage to Montreal, returned from there to the States. In June, 1940, he travelled to Windsor and applied at the Windsor RCAF Recruiting Centre for enlist- ment as a pilot. He was told he was underweight. his by no means dis- couraged him, however. "I went back to Chicago," says Jim, "and proceed- ed to stuff myself with whipped cream and that kind of stuff. Then I went back to Windsor. This time the doctor passed me but the recruiting centre had all the pilots they could use for a while, So I went back to Chicago again. They finally sent for me in October, 1940, and I trained as an observer at Toronto, London, Fingal and Penfield Ridge. I arrived TRAVELLERS Observers forming part of the air crews of a Royal Canadian Air Force torpedo -bomber squadron of Coastal Command in Great Britain are a complete cross-section of the many types of graduates who have passed through the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Described by their commanding officer, Wing Commander E. L. (Wally) Wurtele, of Montreal, as "one of the best and keenest bunch of observers I ever saw," these lads arrived with the empire's air forces in the United Kingdom through many devious routes. For example, the officer in charge'. of observers in the squadron, Pilot Officer Norman Hill, found himself with the unit via England, Singapore and Canada.

The title of the 'first one was "Tobacco Weather" and was most instructive and interesting as it showed the process of sowing, growing, and drying tobacco until it became a finished product in cigar- ettes, etc. The second picture, was entitled, "Churchill's Island," which showed some of the effects of the bombing and also its strong defences. The third picture was "London Can Take it" which gave a good idea of the wonderful spirit of the people in the face of danger. The fourth pict- ure "Fighter Pilot" gave a good des- cription of the wonderful work our splendid men in the air force are doing.
