The meeting was held in the Balmoral Hotel. Ma- jor Carr-Harris brought greet- ings to the Rotarians fromn Bri- gadier Eric Snow, Kingston, commander o! this military axea. Major Carr-Harris stated that the two plans which offer tre- mendous opportunity are the Regular Officers' Training plan, and the Soldiar Apprantica Plan. The latter is a tachnical train- ing for future N.C.O.s and War- rant Officars. "As you ail know, technical knowledge has become impor- tant. Missiles, alectronics, ra- dar, have becoma the order of the day. Automatic rifles are Iused by the infantry. Mainten- ance and operation has bec(n more diffhcult. Leaders Needed "Good quality junior leaders! are needed, and such leaders are produced by the technical plan called the Soldier Appren- tice Course. We taka boys of 16 and 17 into the army for this two year course. "Thcy recaive academic train- ing designed ta advance them two yaars in mathamatics, sci- ence and English. This ensuras that when they raach tachnical teaching thay are able to ab- sorbe it. They write provinciali examinations and receive credits towards matriculation.. Those who wish are abla to taka extension subi ects not taught in the course." Major Carr-Harris explained the Soldier Apprantice Course givas basic training, instruct- ion in military subjects, weà- pon training and teachas lead- ership. Cholce of Trades Soldier apprentices are giv-1 an a choice o! 22 trades sub- ject Lo aptitude testing, the sol- diar receivas training in the special trade he has chosen. Ati the end of the course he wil be a first class journaymnan tradesman. "While attending the course the apprenticas a re paid. At first the 16 year olds raceive $52.00 a month (hall basic pay). At 17 this is incraased ta $104. 00 a month plus entitled increa- ses. The army gains a group o! keen young soldier-tradesman who will be skilled technicians, the Sargeants and Sergeant- Majors o! tomorrow," Major Carr-Harris pointed out. Tri-Service Plan He axplained that the Re- I gular Off icer Training Course is a Tri-Service plan for al three branches of service, Army. Navy and Air Force. Boys who have obtained their senior mat- riculation may apply for thisi course which gives young Can- adians the opportunity for a hig- er education and a perman- ent conunission ini one o! the thrae Services.1 Thare are three Canadian Ser- i vices Colleges; the Royal Mil- itary Collega, Kingston, Ont:-, Royal Roads, Victoria, B.C., and Collage Militaire Royal Saint Jean, St. Johns, Que. Courses provide a balanced and liber- al aducation in arts and scien- ces combined with military stu- dies. The first two years of in- struction in ail three collages are identical. The third and fourth years of general course or an engineering course are taken at the Royal Military College with specialization be- ginning in the third year. Joint Training 0"At the Canadian Services Collages, cadets o! the thraa Armed Forces receive joint training which devalops and in- stilis a spirit o! taamwork and co-operation," Major Carr-Har- ris said. "Cadets are provided with unifornis and aquipment, food and lodging and they re- caive monthly pay at ROTP! rates. The Collages offer com- plate modern aducational and recreational facilities, and throu- ghout the entire training pariod special emphasis is placad on the davelopmant o! leadership and officar qualitias." May Attend College Under the Regular Officar Training Plan, accepted candid- ates may attend any ana o! 38 universities or collages as a cadet. This university training will be paid- for by the govarrnent and the cadet in the Formes a! ter receiving a degrae. A vote of thanks to Majorr Carr-Harris was moved by Peter Nawell.

Banner Passait RePf'esentatlve "A 3-3258 53 Brown St. Bowmanville Writer Gives Bouquets To Retiring Police Chie f Dear Mr. Editor: Most folks agrea that if bou- quets are ta be given Vo a man, bettar while ha lives so that he and his friands may have full appreciation o! the tributes. Too often such a sentiment ra- mains only a thought. Howaver, hearing that Bowmanville's for- mer Chie! Constable Sydney Venton is soon ta be honored at his retirement, it saemad that I might maka some small parsonal contribution Vo one who has executed his duties with wisdom, courage and dig- R. Crbet To Sid Venton There is no one Vo whom I would more gladly join in a tri- bute than ta Sid Venton who has served Bowmanville for so many years. Combining a child-like inno- cence o! face and manner withi the deadly suspicion of a de- tectiva, Si not only kept law and order in the town almost single-handedly but ha has set- tled more family quarrels, clos- ad the door on more family skeletons than most o! us will ever know. There's hardly one citizen whe bas not called Sid on soma personal matter at sanie tima or other and al- though the work was flot in his lina of duty-Sid went. He's played nursemaid ta tipsy citi- zens; ha bas soothed mental cases and ha has, at the risk o! i his own skin, snatched cock- ed guns from the hands of des- perate men. For many years, bafore Bow- mnanville acquired its fine mod- ern p3olice force, Chie! Venton and the Jate Walter Hall at- tended the Police office 24 hours a day, seven days a week. ia- numarabla nights the "Chie!" would ba called out o! bed ta an accident or crime. It wa s virtually a one-man show. Ha survived, but paid heavily in health, havirng suffarad a heart Il condition which undoubtedly was induced by long years of overwork. And, although one hesitates ta mention it, ail these yaars, police salaries ware, if not in- adequata, low. Yat Mr. and Mrs. Venton have maintainad a splanlid home and given their son and daughtar an excellent education. To ba a good policeman calîs for self-sacrifice. Self-indul- gence is out. Like a doct or, a policeman on 24-hour cail, must be always in possession o! bis wits, raady ta meet daily amer- gencies. Sydney Venton Ha must live an exemplary hife in the commiunity. Sid has. Ha must earn and keep the res- pect of those people he serves. Sid did so willingly. Things like lodge member- ship and church attandance corne aasily but it is perhaps a little harder ta find time ta work in organizations like the Boy Scouts. However the Chie! was a leading mnember of the local Boy Scout committee for mativ years. Many an Apple Day crew started out from. the town hall basement by the police cells. Fro.n ime to -time, over-am- bitious town councillors, as is their wont, became hypercriti- cal and beiabored the police de- partrnent. Perhaps at tirnes, t1he Chie! feared for his job, for the security and future of his fai- ily. If these things be true, we should pass over them quickly but flot ignore them. for they are part of a man's life. In the exercise of his duties Sid Venton has displayed a toi- erance and broad-minded un- derstanding o! the human ani- mal which made hlm a real or- narnent to his office. Many the serape in which, he has detect- Ied some yauth or reputable citi- zen which perhaps did not de- Imand or justify the laying of a criminal charge. Rather than damage a man's reputation for one srnall slip, Sid bas giveni lm help and counsel and hct-p- ed hlmn renabilitate froni an un- happy situation. one could continue in this vein for a long tirne but add littie Vo what has already been said. A man's retirernent is cer- tainly a time for retrospaction and truth. Incidents must be recalled ta, give perspective ta a man's career. 'To what bas been said here will be added the tributes o! other friends and one can only conclude, inade- quately, bv adding best wishies and the hope that Mr. and Mrs. Ventan will be spared to enjoir many more years togather.
