PAGE TEN THE DAILY. TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1948 CHADBURN SQUADRON AIR CADETS By SGT. PETERS Last Tues. night there was an of- ficer from Trenton who pointed out "to us the methods of enlisting in ..- the R.C.AF, He said that the best «way to enter the service was to go through the colleges. These colleges are RM.C. at Kingston and Royal Roads in British Columbia. There is 7+ a fee that is required ($550) five hundred and fifty dollars to cover "+ tuition, books, uniforms, room and *" board, and laundry. This is for the first year; after that the expenses Tun about ($200) two hundred dol- lars per year. That is not as expen- sive as it sounds since four months of the year are spent on an 'R.C.AF. ™ station for which the student cadet receives ($143) one hundred and forty three dollars per month plus an additional ($30) thirty dollars a month if he flies, These salaries make totals of $572 and $692 both of which cover the initial expense. It can be easily seen from' this that these chaps not only receive a free education but also make some extra money. Cadets entering these col- leges are expected to remain in the ©, Air Force the full twenty years. A certain number of young men after they have completed their four year course are chosen to complete their fifth year at a university and oftain their degree. This final year is paid for by the Air Force. The course for . the majority lasts four years with "seven months of each year being de- voted to academic subjects; four months for flying instructions; and one monty for a holiday. Transpor- tation from the station at which the cadets are training to their home will be furnished by the Air Force. That is the set-up for a college en- trance in the RC.AF. and it is by far the best method. For those wishing to enter the Air Force for a shorter period, or who have not the educational stand- ards for the college entry there is the following line of enlistment. Those with their senior matric or equivalent may enroll as air crew while those with junior matric may ente rthe ground crew, A person with a technical trade may also en- ter the ground crew courses This course lasts for six years, three of which are spent in trainipg After the six'years have elapsed approxi- mately twelve percent of these men are chosen for long service while the remainder are transferred to the Auxiliary Air Force. It has also been stated that the R.CAF. will soon open up a new training centre at Aylmer which will sponsor a four to sixteen week course for the purpose of bringing the standing of chaps who have two or three years high scicol up to the standing of junior matric. "Here I am again folks; your lit- tle friend Clarence! I do believe Smitty and his pals had just arriv- ed in Borden when we left them last week. It was hot, plenty hot and the uniforms did not add to the comfort of the cadets. Before anyone had a chance to get their bearing a big, burly disciplinarian was bellow- ing orders. All the cadets who had arrived were lined up. in their res- pective squadrons and marched down to the equipment office. Now . came a couple of hours of standing in line, still in blues, and tugging + a kit bag, for Smitty and his friends. . At last Smitty reaches the counter, : collar wilted, and his freshly sun { burned face prespiring freely, only : to be handed two heavy wool blan- : kets, a sheet and a flannelette kL blanket This was almost too much for Smitty; the mercury was stand- hg well over ninety, and here he was being equipped for an Arctic Expedition.- Now come the march out to the camp site, loaded down . with bedding, kit bags, and still Zwearing their blues the cadets in- Teed looked a sorry sight. When the ~¢adets were dismissed in front of "their tents there was a mad scram- ble for bunks; quickly blues were doffed in favour of fatigues and then the. bunks were given a work out. The tents seemed to absorb the "heat, and the only way to be rea- "#onably comfortable was to lie per- "fectly still. Smitty's group did not ~garive until after one o'clock so they "received no dinner. Later in the af- ternoon the newly arrived cadets were paraded down to the theatre where they meet the camp C.0. and the officers under which they would study. The rules and plans for the two week period were outlined to the cadets, and their canteen, lounge, and theatre times were spe- cified. . Supper time arrived and the hun- gy cadets filed into the mess hall "to devour everything they could get their teeth into. This action did not continue throughout the duration of camp for it was not long before the cadets developed a dislike for their meals. This was due to the fact that the food had to be prepar- ed'in such large quantities that it was rather tasteless, It was rather & long jump from mother's home- cooked meals to the army style. The thought uppermost in. the minds of cadets was sleep and that is just what they did; back to the tents and sleep." N.B. University May Get Bridge ----. Fredericton, N. B.--(CP) -- Lord Beaverbrook has just won what he Sonsigers one of his toughest bat- es, Recenlly Trade Minister Howe visited Fredericton, Lord Beaver- brook took him for a "bump" treat- ment on the road leading over a level crossing to the University of New Brunswick He gently hinted at the danger of the crossing, suggest ed there should be an overpas. "I's a praiseworthy idea," said the non-committal Mr. Howe. Next for the treatment was Sir James Dunn, president of Algoma Stee] jon. "It would take a long bridge,' commented Sir James, : "Al are you going to do #2" the publish; I'll give you the steel," FEE SU TH TIRED FEAR IR YT OAR AB er, came it.

When TCA began transcontinental opera- tions in April, 1939, the Lockheed 10-passenger, shown below, was suf- ficient to meet traffic demands. Air travel has grown to such an extent in the past 11 years that the Lock- heeds have been replaced with the powerful four-engined North Star shown at top. It is Canada's largest and fastest plane and holds a trans- continental speed record, On June 1 the new TCA plane also entered inter-city and trans-Atlantic services.

The sudden passing of Walte) Hamilton was a shock to. the vil lage. Although 'in poor health of late, he was at neighbers during 'thé morning and seemed as usual. Mrs. Hamilton was at her mother's trying to help out while her mother is in hospital. His doctor, calling with medicine for him, found him passed away where he. had fallen. e was. in his 66th year.

Thursday the wheeling columns, in their scarlet tunics and black bearskins, will march to the Horse Guards Parade, fronting St. James Park, which separates Buckingham Palace and Whitehall. There they will draw up beside the swinging plaids of the Scots Pipers and the green of the Irish Guards. "Trooping the color"fis the term' for saluting by beat 6f drum the flag or "color" of a regiment. From the earliest days it has been the custom for men in action to rally round some prominent ob- ject which was easily recognizable --a pole with a truss of hay tied to it or later the famous Roman eagles. Knights in the middle ages rode into battle with their personal banner and, as many regiments were originally formed as the per- sonal bodyguard of some noble, it became the custom for the banner to be used as a regimental symbol. The British army has not used its colors in action since two offic- Stir London ers lost their lives in 1879 saving their colors from the Zulus, but the ceremony of escorting the col- ors has remained, It was turned by the Duke of Cumberland in the 18th century in- to an impressive parade much as it is seen today. Ome story had it that he inaugurated the slow march of his officers to pick out those still incapable after their previous nights carousals, The ceremony, which traditional- ly takes place on the King's offic- ial birthday--not his real one which is in December--will begin with the arrival of the King on horseback, dressed in the uniform of the Scots Guards, whose color is to be troop- ed this year. . On his arrival the massed bands of the five Guards Regiments of foot Coldstream, Grenadier, Scots, Irish and Welsh --will thun- der out the National Anthem. For the 2,000 troops on parade there follows the gruelling ordeal of the inspection when they must stand rigid without twitching a muscle until the King has moved along all their ranks. : The King then retires toga salut- ing base and the troops march past in line headed by their bands, each with its drum major. As the King takes his place at the head of his guards to march with them back to the palace, a sa- lute of 53 guns--one for each year of the King's life--will roar out dhoye the cheering crowds. Jolliffe Thanks Voters In Riding For Fine Support Toronto, June 8--(CP)--E. B. Joliffe, Ontario C.CF. leader, Monday night described the Drew government's reduced majority in the provincial election as a "clear indication of growing dissatisfac- ticn" on the part of the electors. He said it appeared the C.CF. would constitute the second largest greup in the Ontario legislature, a position the party held from 1943 until returned to third place by the 1945 Progressive Conservative land- slide. Mr, Jolliffe's own election in York South was indicated at about 9:30 p.m. and he offered his thanks to the voters of the riding "for their vote of confidence in the C.C. F. and myself." "As the official opposition the C.C.F. wil] continue to press for tiie principles and measures presented in our first term program. "It's to be hoped that the govern- ment to be headed by Mr. Drew or his successor, will heed the warn- ing of thé electorate and the clear indication of growing dissatisfac- tion." Mrs. Jolliffe was with her hus- band throughout the day and both showed signs of nervousness under the tension of a hard-fought cam- paign William Gibson, Progressive Con- servative candidate, telephoned the Jolliffee committee room to offer congratulations and concede defeat to the C.C.F. leader. Mr, Jolliffe said later that "as far as personalities are concerned I think Mr. Gibson waged a very clean campaign. I'm sure many of his friends in York Souh liked Mr. Gibson personally but just didn't like his party." The three children of the Jol- liffes remained home in Rockwood, Ont., staying with their grand- mother. College Principal Charges Dismissal Brutally Unjust Toronto, June 8.--(CP)--Rev, Dr. F. Scott Mackenzie told Monday's session of the 74th General Assemb- ly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada that his dismissal as prin- cipal of the Presbyterian College in Montreal about four years ago was "brutal" and "an incredible injustice." He spoke during a lively, hour- long debate on whether he should be reinsated to succeed Professor Emeritus D. J. Fraser as principal, Prof. Fraser's resignation was ac- cepted Monday. Dr, Mackenzie is at present Professor of Systematic Theology. Rev. Dr. Robert Lennox, Profes- sor of Old Testament, was pre- viously nominated for the princi- palship by the college's board of management. Appointment of Prof. Fraser's successor was deferred for consid- eration to a committee to be nam- ed by Moderator C. Ritchie Bel of Montreal. Rev. Dr, R. G. Stewart of Toron- to said there would be "reaction in the church from coast to coast" if so young and unknown a man as Dr. Lennox were elected. He moved that the ' assembly consider Dr. Mackenzie's re-instatement. Speaking on his own behalf, Dr. Mackenzie said he was dismissed "entirely without warning." He was appointed principal in 1920 and said the school produced "gratify- ing results" during his term of of- ce, CAST NEWFOUNDLAND FILM St. John's, Nfld. --(CP)-- Three Newfoundlanders will star in the film "Island Story" being produced here by the British Green Park film unit. They are Tony Grace of Corner' Brook, Eileen Shea, and St. John's radio announcer, Dick O'Brien. TE World Trade Week Rheal Jolicoeur, formerly of Timmins, now of Toronto, Ont., who drives Canada's world-famous combines down the assembly line, on their way to 40 different world markets, is shown puzzling out his way. A third of his money came in a separate envelope, in reccgnition of Word Trade Week, because a third of the average Canadian earnings come through export trade. Over 4,000 workers received split pay this week in the Mas- sey-Harris plants throughout Ontario. This was the first time that split pay has ever been inaugurated in a Canadian factory to increase aware- ness of national dependence on world trade. Urges Resorts To Keep Sabbath Toronto, June 8--(CP)--"Increas- ing desecration of the Lord's Day at summer resorts," was attacked Monday by Rev. A. R. Skinner, To- ronto, Field Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance, "Every good churchmen forget God lives at summer resorts too," he told the 74th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ca- nada. Last year eight carnival or mid- way officials were brought into court by the Lord's Day Alliance and fined for operating Sundays, he said. The Alliance favored the present zoning system in Ontario which - ows a few garage and service s tion operators to sell gasoline ori Sunday but prevents all' "from run- ning wide open." Rev. 8. Banks Nelson of Hamil ton complained about the Sunday broadcasts about civic affairs made weekly by. Toronto's Mayor H. E, McCallum, "May I plead with the Lord's Day Alliance to plead with the mayor that six days is enough to deal with the city's affairs and to please leave the Lord's Day free."
