From anyone's point of view the accomplishments of this group must be im- pressive. Surprisingly this is only a small part of the story of 41 Royal ' Canadian (Army) Cadet Corps of Port Perry. This letter is not written just to tell you of recent history but to tell parents and young people of an op- portunity that can greatly enlarge their outlook on life. The cadet corps is an organization for young people. It is financed and supported by the Gov't. of Canada. This Corps is spon- sored by the Durham Board of Education. The young people remain civilians and are in no way obligated to the Armed Forces of Canada. In fact cadets must voluntarily accept the rules and regula- tions of the Armed Forces but are not subject to milit- ary law. This Corps has developed one of the finest cadet train- ing teams in Ontario and is now capable of handling an- other forty to fifty young men or women between the ages of 13to 18. It provides a program that requires one evening a week during the school year, but still recog- nizes the need for time dur- ing examinations by cancell- ing parades at that time, and summer activities through- out Canada. I am a firm believer in the cadet movement, as are all the officers who help run the corps. Three of us have a total of eight sons or daugh- ters participating in the pro- gram. 1 would strongly recommend that young people look at the program and decide for themselves. Window shopping is not ex- pensive. The Corps operates at Port Perry High School on, Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9:30 each week from Sep- tember to June. If any further information is desired I can be contacted at 985-7337 during the week and at 723-9930 in the even- ings and weekends. Re- member that "Nothing ventured - nothing gained."
