RCAF STATION GETS NEW NAME—RCAF Station Clinton is no more, although "'the -• . Training . Command_ Base is stillvery much in action; its time honored name has disap-
peared into vapor trails. As of the 1st of .April, the new name is CFB Clinton, which means
• Canadian Forces Base Clinton. This is in the new spirit of integration of the Faeces, Al-
though the same administrative personnel will,`remain•••in command, some of their titles
have been changed. Group' Captain K. R. Greenaway CD, is now "Base Commander" in-
stead of "Commanding Officer". Officers in charge of the three resident Schools; Radar and
Communications, School. of'Food Services, .and School of Instructional Technique, will con-
tinue to be known as "Officer, Commanding". •
Here, Fred .Weston, Paint Shop Foreman (left) and Wilf Castle, Painter, put finishing
• touches on the new "Canadian Forces Base" sign. Two such signs are displayed in view of
motorists passing the station -oh Highway No. 4. Mr. Weston and Mr. Castle both live in
Bayfield and have worked in the Construction Engineering Section at Clinton since 1951.

Report
1867111967
Report No. 2
A few Weeks ago I made a
staentefi't during a luncheon ad-
dresg 'that we at the Centennial
Co nniission in Ottawa are so
busy the don't have time .. for
coffee breaks.
The next day I was passing
an open door i'fi'war Office .:build-
ing and was jolted by a scene
which belied my remarks of the
day before. Two 'Commission
staff members were in spirited
conversation ---over coffee! Only
• the fact that the time was 5:15
p.m. (after office hours) soften-
ed the shock to the sensibilities
of a stern administrator.
I was invited into the session.
The two young staffers . were
Marcel X, a ,French Canadian,
and John Y, .hn , English Cana-
dian, who, bad':CO1116 to Ottawa
" a couple of months earlier to
work on Centennial projects.
"We have made Some inter-
esting rediscovet'ies ,about the
Fathers of Confederation," re-
• marked Marcel X. "For exam-
ple, 1 did net roeollect, until I
came to work here, that D'Arey
IVtcGee was fora tithe a separ•
atist. And neither 'bhn nor I
remembered from history lea -
sons at,scheot that Sir Georges`
by JOHN W. FISHER
CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER
Etienne Cartier had been exil-
ed for being a rebel with Papi-
neau."
A number of the Fathers of
Confederation did in fact have
bitter beefs which stemmed
from regional interest and wor-
ries
onries about provincial rights, all
f which_ they eventually sub-
ordinated to the ideals hoped-
for
opedfor in federation. In .fact some
of those men were abandoned
by their constitutents at home
for being too "pro" cbnfedera-
tion. Joseph Howe of Nova
Scotia, one of the moat talent-
ed .writers of the confederation
period, fumed against confed-
eration yet he joined Sir John
A.'s first government Nov. 16,
1869, (How ironical that on cur
Centennial train We will show
his printing pres$ which he. us-
ed to whip confederation!)
I believe that involvement in
the 1967 celebrations will give
Canadians, through their redis-
coveries of history, a better
understanding of themselves
and their place in their country
and in the world. We Cana-
diant in .1967 should be In a
snood to look at history calmly
ncf objectively• and I believe
that when we do this we will
be helping to create in our-
selves a tolerant attitude which
will enhance our approach to
some of today's problems of na-
tionhood.
The coffee break turned out
to be something of value after
all. I think that discussions of
this sort, particularly among
students who, with their teach-
ers and professors,, will be
drawn to them during our Cen-
tennial Year, are good for Can-
ada.
The Centennial Commission is
actively engaged with Canada's
universities on a Centennial
program to stimulate the sort
of discussion. I heard at the
coffee' break. During the uni-
versities program a series of
historical 'seminars will study.
select areas of Canadian his-
tory, with emphasis on topics
which are controversial. In ad-
dition potable lecturers ,and art-
ists will make visits to campus-
es- and-
ampus-es---and- two. touring. Centennial
plays, one English and one
French, are to be produced
with student actors from across
the country. There will be oth-
er learned conferences and sem-
inars, all of which will encour-
age our yourig' people to take
advantage of iessons learned in
the past to chart the future for
Canada.
