Recall Station Story
As RCAF Has Birthday
In the Blitz days of 194L over
3,000 miles separated the em-
battled White Cliffs of Dover
from the cliffs on the Lake Hur-
on east coast, but in that year
the two became linked in a
manner which was to prove
vital to the final victory in the
Second World War.
In peacetime both echoed to
the sound of birds and waves,
but echoes of a different type
along the cliffs were to be the
common denominator which
tied the two places to the suc-
cessful outcome of the war.
These echoes were the inaud-
ible reflections of an infant
technique known at that time
as "Radio Direction Finding"
and later RADAR.
In the quest for a place re-
mote from the actual battles
in which thousands of men
could be. safely trained in the
new sgyience, it was found that
the cliffs on the Lake Huron
shore and their surrounding
terrain closely resembled those
over which the aerial armadas
fought in southeast England.
Thus the first radar training
establishment in North Amer-
ica came into being in the early
summer of 1941. This estab-
lishment was later to be known
as RCAF Station Clinton and
was destined to -become one of
the largest and most important
stations in the Royal Canadian
Air Force.
In the April of that critical
year of the war, a team of ex-
perts searched for a suitable
location. Among the require-
ments were -adequate power fa-
cilities, reasonable proximity to
good sources of supply, trans-
portation and preferablya not
too prominent location. Last,
but not least, it was essential
that it be near a large body of
water to approximate conditions
in besieged England, All the
requirements were met in a
location in" Tuckersmith Town-
ship. twomiles south of Clin-
ton, and construction was begun
immediately.
The accent was on speed.!

1941. show a gently rolling
area of farmland bisected by a
highway with a silo prominent-
ly displayed in a field nearby,
By June 30th an Air Force
Station had arisen and only the
silo remained to show -where a
farm once stood.
This was the initial No. 31
Radio School and one of Its
most outstanding characteris-
tics was secrecy. As soonas
classroom buildings erect-
ed, they were surrounded by
electrically ~ charged fencing,
patrolled by armed guards. At
that time `RDF' was one of the
most carefully guarded secrets
of the war. History has proved
what a secret it was. for surely.

school.
In another news release af-
ter the war, Brown stated "it
would not have been possible
to meet the vital and increas-
ing demands of radar in the'
latter part of 1940 and the fol-
lowing years without the know-
ledge that Canada was under-
taking the recruiting of men
to help us handle this immense
weapon. The exact nature of
the duties could never be made
known public in Canada at the
time, of course, but so enthusi-
astic have RCAF personnel been
since the earliest days thatk
their role in the -unseen strug-
gle throughout the years of the
war is one that Britain will
never _ forget,"
Often Canadians formed as
much as half of the technician --
strength on the mobile radar
units which were doing field
training in England before em-
barking for abroad. Wingate's
Crindits in Burma and the RAF
Wing in Russia were just two
of the spots embracing the
whole world in which Clinton
graduates saw service.
Others played a distinguish-
ed role in radar research at
Malvern, Worcestershire, i n
England where developmefit
work was done on equipment
such as 'H 2S' which later per-
mitted Commonwealth aircrews
to bomb unseen targets at night
and through cloud.
Change of Command
From the time of its. open-
Iing until 1943, Clinton was un-
der RAF direction, but at that
time it was decided that it
• would be taken over complete-
ly by the RCAF. In the pro-
. cess. the station was redesignat-
ed No. 5 RCAF Radio School,
with Wing Commander (later
Group Captain) K. R. Patrick
as its first Canadian Command-
er. '
In the lobby of a big hotel,
.one farrier said to another, "I
can' hardly make buckle acid

A girl sitting near who had
never heard the expression
turned to her mother. "What
are they talking about?"
"The Corn Belt, dear."
Doctor: "Your cough sounds
better this morning."
Patient: "It should be. I've
been practicing all night.",

-RAF Indebted To Canada
During the initial days of
the Battle of Britain, on July
20, 1941,.Wing. Commander H.
W. J. Cocks (RAF) became the
first Commanding Officer of
No. 31 Royal Air Force Radio
School at ''Clinton, Oddly en-
ough, although Britain's need
for trained technicians in this
field was so great, the first
trainees to be put on course
were men of the United States
Navy and Marine Corps.
Although complete historical
information is not on hand With
regard to U.S. Forces, it is al-
most certain that graduates of
Clinton. took part in every ma-
jor campaign of the Second
World War, from the South-
west Pacific to the North East-
ern Arctic.
Soon after its inauguration,
a steady flow of trained radar
technicians was being graduat-
ed by the school, r t.ost of whom
subsequently served with the
RAF in all theatres. Due to the
secrecy attached to the base
and its work, it was after the,
end of the war before most
people knew just how impor-
tant the station was, or its ac-
complishments. However, after
the war, the plaudits came thick
and fast. In a release from the
United Kingdom •Air Ministry
in 1945, Air Commodore C. P.
Brown, Director of Radar, re-
vealed just how desperate Bri-
tain's need had bee, and how
ably the new station had filled
it.
He disclosed that early in
1941, when the station was be-
gun, Britain had seht an ur'+-
ent message to Canada stating
that recruiting of RDF mechan-
ics. in England had practically
ceased, and that by the end
of that year a thousand would
be required from Canada, From
that time on Canadian and Can-
adian -trained radar men preVid-
ed the backbone of the RAF's
radar system. From the time
the first contingent of RAF
men arrived at Clinton on July
20, 1941,. until the end of the
war, nearly 9,000• radar technl
clans ., were turned ; out by the'
Distinguished people visiting
the station included Sir Robert
Watson -Watt, who is credited
pith the invention of radar.
At the close of the Second
World War, the future of Clin-
ton, as was the case with most
e artime RCAF Stations,., was
obscure for a time. RCAF el-
ectronics men were convinced
that the tremendous advances
made during the war required
a .permanent RCAF training es-
tablishment.
It was somethingofa- shock.
when a message was received
from Air Force Headquarters
on September 4, 1945, ordering
the station to prepare to dis-
band. The reaction, led by W/C
Patrick, was swift—and hurried
conferences held though Air
Force echelons and fin -ally in
the Defence Committee of the
Cabinet. As a result, a. second
message was, received on Sep-
tember 20th, which stated that
an RCAF signals school would
form 'on a peacetime basis at
Clinton.
This dde sic proved wise
with the 'development of the
complex radar defence system
initiated and built in the 1950's.
• Shortly after its establish-
ment as a regular peacetime
station, the .. training phases
were again .redesignated and
No. '1 Radar and Communica-
tions School came into being.
This designation still exists on
the principalunit at RCAF Sta-
tion Clinton.

Expansion To Meet New Threat
In the spring of 1946, re-
cruiting .for the RCAF was re-
sumed, and several,- senior
NCO's were' sent to Clinton for
a course in pedagogy prior to
activiating the facilities of It
& CS.
Training in the electronics
field has expanded continuous-
ly since that time.
The outbreak of the Korean
war in the -summer of 1950
meant serious thought of Cana-
dian defence policy, , and to
satisfy a growing demand for
trained technicians a large
building program was initiated
at Clinton. -
New buildings, such as the
Supply and CE Sections, Offi-
cers, Senior NCO, and other
ranks' messes and R & CS Spe-
cialized Training buildings were
bonstructed for accommodation
and training.
The present Radar and Com-
munication School building -was
completed in 1953; at a cost of
aver $2 million, and has a to-
tal floor area of 31,6 acres._ .
A total of 2`l3 new buildings
were constructed during the
years 1950-54 to satisfy both
i ntn'ediate and , futartr ,requito•
ments.
With the development of the
thermo-nuclear threat, it be-
came evident that Canada and
the United States must work
closely together in the air de-
fence of North America, and
in 1957 the announcement was
made of a new integrated de-
fence .command NORAD, to
provide operation control over
the air defence forces of the
two countries.
A vital part of the North
American air defence is the
radar network consisting of the
Pine Tree line for aircraft con-
trol and the Distant Early
warning and Mid Canada lines
for early warning.
These three lines are form-
ed by rows of radar bases
stretching across the length of
Canada at various latitudes.
The manning requirements
for the bases once again
brought pressure to bear on
Clinton, and until recently the
station was accommodating ov-
er 1400 trainees at one time,
who were taking various cours-
es in radar and communica-
tions. The resources were tax-
ed to a point where some railer
students were being trained in
three six -hour shifts through-
out the day:- Eighty-three train-
ees were graduated in 1963,
having completed various cours-
es in radar lasting approximate-
ly 40 weeks.
Training Today
Many training courses in
other Air Force trades have
come and gone from Clinton—
Guided Missiles, Aeronautical
Engineering. Telecommunica-
tions and Armament, to men-
tion a few.
Presently situated , on the
station are three -important
schools, namely, the School of
Food Services, which will short-
ly be celebrating its 10th anni-
versary, and the School of In-
structional Technique, a rela-
tive newcomer which moved
from, Trenton in 1962. These
two chools together graduated
720 personnel last year. The
largest resident school is Radar
Communications School.
To run a station with as large
a 'student population turnover
as Clinton requires a total of
about 850 staff, employed in
such fields as Supply, Construe:
tion Engineering, Medicine, Ad-
ministration, Mobile' Support,
as well as instruction ,,et the
various schools.
The radar systems in' use to-
day are a far cry from the ex-
perimental and early beginnings
of 1941.
One of the biggest problems
faced by Clinton in this age of
change is keeping abreast of
these increasingly complex and
sophisticated systems being de-
veloped: To this end, .new
equipment is continuously being
installed, and two major ex-
amples of this are the Radar
Training Tower, built in 1960
-to house a 5 -ton scanner, and
the recent installation of the
FPS 507 -height finder.
Station Clinton is a ground
training . station, and as such
does not lead the glamorous ex-
istence of a flying unit, echo-
ing to the sofnd of screaming
jets, but it does make a train-
ing contribution of which Cana-
dians can be justly' proud.,
Guests Present .
At Thankoffering
T h e spring- thankofferin.g
meeting of the Barbara Kirk-
man Auxiliary of First Church
was held. Tuesday evening with
Mrs. Dale Nixon, the president,
in the chair. Guests were pres-
ent from Knox Church, Gode-
rich, Northside United Church,
Seaforth, and Carmel Church,
Hensall. Mrs. Nixon opened the
meeting with the theme per-
taining to Easter. Mrs. Harold
Whyte read the minutes, after
which three, invitations to at-
tend other society's meetings
were extended. Mrs. Whyte
read the Glad Tidings Prayer
and Mrs. Douglas 0. Fry, the
Scripture lesson, which was the
Easter story. She also gave the
meditation. A solo, "Calvary,"
was sung by Mrs. F. Kling, ac-
companied by Mrs. M. R. Ren-
nie. Miss Florence Laidlaw and
Mrs. H. E. Smith received the
collection, which was dedicated
by Mrs. Nixon.
The speaker, Miss Lily Mc
Arthur, of Goderich, introduced
by Mrs. W. A. Wright, chose 'as
her subject, "The Lord "Among
His Disciples." She said that
there was an atmosphere of joy
at Easter, which we must culti-
vate. She concluded her talk
with an earnest- prayer for
peace and love to all mankind.
Mrs. Keith Sharp thanked ,the
speaker and the soloist.
Those making courtesy re-
marks were Mrs. Gordon
Schwalm and Mrs. Earl Camp -
hell; of Hensall; Miss Gladys
Thompson, Seaforth, and Mrs.
H. N. Rivers, Goderich.

sources far removed from the
local community; he said, and
added that if co-operatives are
to provide the service,.- they
were organized to give, ;there
must be a strengthening of the
relationship between local co-
operatives and regional organ-
izations, between regionals and
the national, and even interna-
tional co-operative endeavours.
As examples of the present-
day trends, he related to the
multi-million dollar chemical
complex of Interprovincial Co-
operatives (of which UCO is a
member), at Saskatoon, and the
close liason between United Co-
