Clinton Station Welcomes Guests To
Celebrate 25th Anniversary Occasion
During the week of Septem-
ber 12-17 Canadian Forces
Base 'Clinton will celebrate the
25th anniversary of radar train-
ing in Canada.
Twenty-five years ago the
British and Canadian govern-
ments decided that radar train-
ing school in Canada was es-
sential to the war effort. ,A
location in Canada was neces-
sary because it was removed
from the scene of hostilities and
close to the source of Canadian
manpower.
In the early stages of the
Second World War radar was
highly secret subject. It was,
therefore. important to choose
a fairly isolated area in order
to ensure security. The selec-
tion of Clinton as a suitable
site was also influenced by the
proximity of the cliffs on the
shores of Lake Huron which
were similar to those in Eng-
land.
Work commenced at Clinton
in April, 1941, 120 buildings
were constructed and several
360 -foot radar towers were
erected. Royal Air Force per-
sonnel arrived with the radar

School was officially opened.
Two years later, Canada as -
sunned control of the school and
re -named it No. 5 RCAF Radio
School. Today it is known a$
the Radar and Communications
School.
From September 15, 1941,
until the end of the war, over
500 Canadian technicians and
more than 750 officers were
trained at Clinton. In addition,
2,325 Americans graduated from
the school,
The first course of Canadian
'radar technicians graduated
from Clinton in September,
1941. Fifty-two of the original
'graduates have been invited to
visit Clinton during 25th anni-
versary week. Invitations have
also been sent to all of Clin-
ton's previous commanding of-
ficers, all officers commanding

Zurich Kings Lose Final Game of Series
To Wilkesport Despite Heavy Hitting
The Zurich Kings were elimi-
nated from further competition
in the OBA Intermediate D
playoffs last 'Saturday, when
they were edged 5-4 in the third
game of their best -of -three
series with the Wilkesport War-
riors. The game was played in
Wilkesport.
Although they out bit the
victors 11-5, the locals could
not bunch their safeties when
they needed them most. They
left 10 runners on the bases
throughout the nine -inning con-
test.
Zurich scored one run in the
first inning when Earl Wagner
singled, went to second on a
ground ball and then scored on
Bruce Horton's ground rule
double over the left -field fence.
They added another marker in
the fourth when Stade singled,
Overholt double and Johnston
also singled to send the runner
across the plate. Their final
two runs came in the ninth,
when they made a determined
bid to knot the score. Bob
Johnston reached first on a
fielder's choice, after two were
out, and then Wagner worked
a base on balls. A double to
deep centre sent both runners
across the plate, but the boys
could not come up with the ex-
tra run they needed to tie the
score.
Wilkesport scored two runs
in their half of the first inning,
when they worked two bases
on balls and came through with
a double. They added two more
in the fifth on a Zurich error,
a hit batter, a sacrifice and a
double. Their final tally came
in the sixth when they com-
bined two walks with a single
and a double.
Jim Pfaff started on the
mound for Zurich and deserved
better fate than to be the losing
pitcher. In the first five and
two-thirds innings he gave up
only three hits, although he
walked five and hit two batters.
Dick Bedard came on in relief
and finished the game, giving
up two hits and one base on
balls. Pfaff struck out three
haters and Bedard one.
Don O'Brien, Bruce Horton
and Jim Pfaff supplied the
punch at the bat for Zurich,
each with two safeties. Bob
Johnston, Earl Wagner, Robert
McNaughton, Rick Stade and
Phil Overholt each came
through with one safety.
