The RCAF's Christmas For many of the members of the Royal Canadian Air Force Christmas Day will not be much different. from 'any other day of the year. As ia modern fighting force, the RCAF has ia great many operational -commitments around the world. Because of these com- mitments, only those who are off- shift or working on non-operational duties will be celebrating the fes- tive season with their families and friends. Stationed at wind-swept outposts around the North Pole, Santa's traditional home, will be thousands of radar operators and aircraft controllers, manning the eyes that guard the night as part of DEW, Pine Tree and Mid-Canada radar defence system. There is no break in the schedule here; twenty-four hours every day of every year, the screens rotate and aircraft are traced across the huge tables in the operations centers. In Europe, the RCAF maintains another continuous..alert with its twelve operational NATO squad- rons in France and: Germany. The stand-by jet crews-may be-listen- ing to Christmas music and think- ing of their families sitting around the Christmas tree and turkey din- ner, but they 'will also be waiting for the call on the scramble line, telling them to man their jets and' intercept an unknown aircraft. The ground crew, at least eight men to every one ready to fly, will have the aircraft ready to go, the direc- tions to pass out from the opera- tions rooms and the hot meal pre- pared for them when they return from their missions. In other parts of the globe, the RCAF will be working as usual in support of the United Nations Emergency Forces. The Gaza strip must be patrolled, the mail must arrive with the supplies for -the men stationed in Egypt, and the aircraft coming and going must be serviced. Farther south in the troubled continent, a busy RCAF contingent will not be able to relax for Christmas day in the Congo. UN personnel will have to be trans- ported in and out of the country and the urgently needed supplies must continue to pour into the area aboard Transport:-Command's air- craft. To be sure, not everyone in the RCAF wil be on duty over the Christmas Holidays. Every effort is made to have as many as pos- sible home with their families, and the old RCAF traditions isuch 'as the Officers serving the airmen their Christmas. dinner will still be carried out. The difference is that at most of the 'RCAF' stations across Canada iand abroad the of- ficers will be wearing their fly- ing clothing and the airmen will probably ibe returning to duty af- ter they have eaten. Christmas Day is one of festivity throughout most of the world. The R.C.A.F. maintains its share of the vigilance throughout the world. No Recount There will be no recount of the December 5 liquor vote in Haileybury. A spokesman for the negative vote said the group held a meeting and de- cided to let the vote stand as counted December 5. The wets obtained 20 votes more: than the required 60 per centage on the question of hav- ing liquor with meals in drink- ing lounges but they only had a fraction of one vote above the 60 per cent needed in the cock- tail bar question. Three years ago there was a recount the wets were short one-fifth of one vote for the required 60 per cent. ONE EDITION Because of the short work week between Christmas and New Year's Day, the Speaker and the Hailey- burian will be published as a com- bined issue. It will be available by mail and at the stores on. December 29.
