When Air Vice-Marshal Shearer,Air Officer Commanding number twoTraining Command visited Paulsonon September 8th, he was on homeground. It is quite likely that hecould see Neepawa from the air ashe was circling over our aerodrome.We of Paulson consider that hebelongs here, Neepawa being onlyeighty miles away.Air Vice-Marshal Shearer was

born in Lindsay. Ontario, and carnewest with his parents who settled

in Neepawa. In 1915 he went overseaswith the Bomber Squadron of theRoyal Naval Air Service. He waswounded while in combat on theWestern Front. After his convales-cence we find him on the ItalianFront leading a squadron of RA.F.fighter-bombers against the Austrians.During his career as a fighter pilot

Air Vice-Marshal Shearer had manynarrow escapes. One of his mostsevere injuries was a bullet wound inthe leg which he received whilefighting the Austrians. He was award-ed the Italian War Cross, The ItalianMedal for Valour as well as theFrench Croix de Guerre with Palms,and the Order of St. Anne's fromthe Russians. for service in Russiaas a member of the British Forceassisting the White Russians.In 1919 he was granted a per-

manent commission in the RA.F. Hecame home to Canada and wasgranted a commission as SquadronLeader in the RC.A.F. in 1920. In1925 he was appointed Officer Com-manding the Flying Training School.Camp Borden. In 1928 he went toEngland for a tour of duty with theRoyal Navy to study operation inBattleships, Aircraft-carriers, Des-troyers and Submarines. After a oneyear staff course at the College atGreenwich he was appointed AirLiaison Officer.Air Vice-Marshal Shearer returned

to Canada in 1932 and was laterappointed Director of Works andBuildings at A.F.H.Q.. Ottawa. Hewas next appointed Air Officer Com-manding number two Training Com-mand, Winnipeg.We trust that his short visit to

Number Seven Bombing and GunnerySchool. Paulson. was a pleasant one.

be compared to the surface of a lake.A small stone may create ripplestravelling in ever widening circles.A conflict anywhere in the worldmay precipitate consequences spread-ing over the surface of the wholeglobe. A victory, no matter howtrivtal, a set-back, or delay; a trainwrecked, a bridge bombed, a factoryruined or a ship sunk-each one ofthese incidents may upset a schedule,disrupt an attack, lose a battle, orforce a retreat.The same may be said of the

economic world. Our survival todaydepends on the interrupted produc-tion of food stuffs and war materials.This is influenced directly or indirect-ly by the morale of the people athome.Our life is attuned to a martial

The calm immediatelyfollowing the storm of combat-theperiod of peace-lacking the impetusfor action and for rapid decisionswhich war and immediate dangerforced upon us, may prove to be anextremely hazardous transitionalperiod.

Already there are well organizedagencies at work making preliminarystudies and planning for the stabili-zation of the peace-time world whichwill emerge out of the chaos of war.The re-employment of the returningsoldier, his rehabilitation into civilianlife, maintenance of the buying pow-er of the individual and the re-ad-justment of industry to peace-timetempo and production, are all tasksof colossal magnitude and great dif-ficulty.At the present time, when we are

still battling our way towards peace,there are some who even now seea ray of light breaking through thehaze and smoke of battle. Recentlythe office of war information in theU.S.A. published the Iollowinq in oneof their pamphlets:.'It will be remembered that the

The new O.C. of flying is anAmerican citizen who is sticking withthe R.CA.F. until this scrap is over.(Here is the history of his meta-morphosis). Born in Tennessee, F/LTaylor was raised in Texas, servedfor two years in the First WorldWar with the U.S. Field Artillery,settled down in California where hetook up sport flying. As soon asthis war broke out he flew by Strate-liner from California to New Yorkand thence to Ottawa to enlist withthe R.CA.F. Shortly afterwards hefound himself ploughing through themud at Trenton. It seems significantthat Flight Lieutenant Taylor hashad only one posting previous to hiscoming to Paulson-v-that to Jarviswhere he rose from staff pilot toflight commander and served as O.Cof flying for a time. He knows B.and G. School work inside out.When asked what he thought ofNumber Seven he replied that it is

an outstanding station which in ap-pearance, efficiency, atmosphere offriendliness and spirit of ready co-operation cannot be surpassed. Heis particularly tied to Canada by apetite wife whom he discovered inMontreal.

wonder how seriously this anticipa-tion and planning affects our presentattitude toward the war effort. Manymen who had "buckled on the swordfor the duration" are more thaneager to do their share in this war.It is also true, however, that manyfear the peace more than they fearthe war. We all look forward to-ward the day when "our swordswill be beaten into plowshares" and(in more up-to-date parlance) "thebombers transformed into pleasureships" (apologies to Isaiah). It is amatter of life and death for us toremember the urgency to keep thesword sharp and keep on sharpeningit still more until the need for itis over.Underestimation of the enemy and

overoptimism always were valuableplanks in the fifth column platform.Our road is mapped and our

course is laid. There is a job aheadof us, and it has to be completed.The sword has to be good and sharpuntil our task is accomplished.

A S C O T L O O K S A T C A N A D ANo doubt most of us on our ar-

rival in Canada were quite astoundedat the hospitality of the people. Nomatter in which province we mayhave been, the nature of the peopleremained generally, invariable.And yet there is a minority who

after partaking of this hospitality,(at least I hope it is a minority)have compared, and, I suppose al-ways will complain and grumble. Ihave heard various chaps remark,"Oh, there's a war on and our peopleback home are treating the membersof the service in the same way ifnot more so." I wili admit that attimes, not very often, remember, thatone does meet a segregated few whohave no time for us. Possibly. if youcare to look into the matter some wellbased reason could be unearthed. Itmay be that some of us at one timeor other unconsciously or other-wise, have uttered some caustic re-mark or done some deed or otherwhich may have caused a certainamount of animosity. I have over-heard certain remarks not only com-ing from AC's but all ranks, remarksmost uncomplimentary and at thesame time so uri-British that theCanadians have just stared speechless.After all everyone must admit. that

if anyone had run down Britain, asmany of us have run down thiscountry, we would more than starespeechless. we would cause a riot.When talking about a country

you are talking about the people init who have worked. struggled,fought and possibly are still fighting,as in the case of Canada, to makeit a country.

Canada is part of our Great andGlorious Empire making it part andparcel of ourselves, therefore thepeople in it today, the pioneers, havehelped to build this Empire of ours,more so, may I say, than any ofus visitors. The Canadians are proudof their British connections and theyare proud of their King and Queen.Some of us may have had the

good fortune to have travelled thiscountry in pre-war days. Those ofyou who have, will agree that thehospitality which was extended thenstill exists.We have to look to the post

war days. We shall still requireassistance from this same Canada inone way or another. There is talkof the "Rebuilding of our Empire."This rebuilding isn't meant in thetrue sense of the word. Rebuildingmeans starting from the foundationsup. After all we must admit thefoundations have been placed, thewalls still stand, the roof is there->consequently in my opinion all thatis required is a renovation-andevery country will require that afterthe war. Well! why shouldn't westart now, instead of continuouslygrousing and casting aspersions, andgenerally creating an entirely wrongimpression of the British 7 Why can'twe be true British by either keepingour mouths shut or being tactfuland diplomatic. Let us co-operate, bethoughtful of our Canadian cousinsand the result should be Democracy.Let us all be British Diplomats.

AW~l ANDERSONGreetings everybody, here is the

Accounts Section back again, prov-ing our point that you can't getanywhere in this world unless youhave money behind you, We in theAccounts Section always have mon-ey behind us, and thats the trouble.It is always behind us in the safe,getting us nowhere.Well, our happy home has split

up since Iwas speaking to you last.The Equipment Accounting decidedit was time they packed up theirbelongings, which they did, and des-cended upon the Control Tower ina cloud of dust, and with muchbanging and clattering. We reallyhave a happy little home down herenow. Of course we haven't muchroom, but we don't mind at all goingout into the hall to turn around, andone good thing, we are learning todevelop our voices. We can manageto speak to each other above thenoise of an Anson, it is just theNorseman we are concentrating onnow. We can at least feel sorryfor sardines, and have a brotherlyfeeling for them.Somehow I think that the rest of

the Accounts Section up at Head-quarters, have their suspicion of thehonesty of we people down at theControl Tower. We had no soonerarrived down here, when in cametrotting one of their keen-nosed de-tectives who basely accused us ofstealing their paper punch. I don'tknow why they thought we hadtaken it, but, "just try and find itSgt. Jones." The other office looksvery bare now, Seeing there are lesspeople there, they will have a hardertime trying to look busy.

Did you hear about the picnic thewhole Accounts Section had downat Stoney Point the other week? Wereally had fun, in spite of the factthat somebody forgot the butter.Next time we must tie a stringaround your finqer, F. L. Bazett!Two of our girls j,ust wandered

in this morning after a short vacationin; Winnipeg. They decided it wastoo nice a city to leave at the endof their 48, so stayed on anotherday, Iknow exactly how they feltwhen they arrived breathless, at thestation, to see the Paulson Expresssteaming out Without them. The onlything that bothers us down here, isthe inconvenience of taking all ourvouchers up to the guard house.Things are most quiet around here,

but the next time Italk to you Ihope to have a lot more news, Good-bye for now, see you on pay parade.And that reminds me, PLEASE yellout your name and number whenyou are next in the line, I know ithelps us, and you will get out allthe quicker ... ,__ v__

With the opening of a special W.W. page in the Paulson Post, wetake pleasure in introducing our verypopular Senior W.O. Officer, MissP. J . Ritchie-s-the guiding hand over"the girls behind the boys who flythe planes," at Number Seven.A former Lieutenant in No.

Contingent of the Canadian Wo-men's Training Corps in Vancouver.Miss Ritchie donned the Air Forceblue in November, 1941. thus dis-tinguishing herself as one of the 150pioneers of the W.O. who pavedthe way for the thousands of traineesto follow. She had intended to goas an M.T. driver, but was quicklyclaimed for Administration. Her firstposting was at Number Six "M"Depot in Toronto. On receiving herCommission, she went to NumberTwelve. S.F.T.S. in Brandon. and inJuly last was posted to "LuckySeven."

Her winning smile would immedi-ately disarm even the most nervousof W.O. recruits venturing into aStation W.O. Office for the firsttime.Miss Ritchie is a British Colum-

bian. and proud of it too. Her homebeing on lovely Shaughnessy Heights.in Vancouver. Her longing for herown province can be summed up inone short sentence of hers "If yougo to B.C., give my love to themountains." She is a graduate of St.Anthony's School in Vancouver andof Branksome Hall in Toronto.Fond of the outdoors. she claims

she is cowgirl at heart and is tre-mendously fond of riding. Fishing isanother of her hobbies "And I canbeat the biggest and best fish storiestoo!" she boasts laughingly.Her keenness for sports is easily

R I F L E C L U BThis active organization known

officially as Number Seven B. andG. Club got away to a rather slowstart in May of this year. Manydifficulties had to be surmountedbefore actual club shooting couldbegin. Owing to the scarcity of civil-ian armament equipment. some dif-ficulty in securing proper rifles wasencountered but the treasurer, FlyingOfficer Crozier by concerted effortobtained a good model for groupshooting. The club affiliated with theDominion Marksmen Association ofMontreal which is' a subsidiary ofC.LL. and supplies of targets weresent for competitive shooting. Atfirst, interest waned somewhat butas soon as the W.O. arrived on thescene, a new spirit developed. Itseemed that even the weather manopposed our efforts and many even-ings of scheduled targeteering had tobe "washed out." The months ofAugust and September have shownthat many fine marksmen are on theStation and new ones are comingforward every week. Competitionshooting now is being very keenlycontested and several enthusiasts arenow shooting on their expert shield-the biggest award obtainable inCanada for rifle shooting usingsporting models. To date the M.T.Section has the highest percentageof members and consistently goodmarksmen; their example could wellbe followed by the other sections onthe Station. The momentary valueof the awards is greatly exceeded bythe enjoyment and sportmanship offriendly competition. as well as de-veloping markmanship.For those who have not availed

themselves of the opportunities ofthe Club. a few words: The clubmeets each Tuesday and Fridayevening at the 25 yard range for

one and one half hours; rifles areprovided out of Club funds; the feesfor membership are 50 cents annuallyand 25 cents for aircrew personnel.This fee entitles members to the freeuse of Club rifles; those having theirown rifles are urged to use them;ammunition is obtained from SergeantE. Jones at a low price. Arrange-ments are now under way for theerection of an indoor range for winteractivities and intercIub shooting withService and Civilian Clubs is beingfostered.A special invitation is extended to

all who are interested in our activi-ties to come and join-novices andexperts are both welcome. Informa-tion about the Club may be obtainedfrom Flight Lieutenant Johnston(Station Hospital). Flying OfficerCrozier (Control Tower-Accounts),AWl Ames (M.T. Section), Ser-geant Patton, (G.I.S.).

moted) will be in Quebec City bythe time this goes to press. He hasfinally received his rernuster to air-crew. Good Luck, "Tommy" in yournew venture. Our Station dances willnot be the same without our bullfiddler'

Well, we finally got rid of thatnotorious man, Bert Fowler. He wasrecently posted to Haqcrsville (Cana-da'), which is close to his home.Two occasions for celebration aroseon the day of his departure. First ofall his long awaited posting and thena presentation by the Admiral of theOchre River Navy with the Orderof the B.S,O.

So far we have only heard aboutGremlins from Pilots, but there isone species of the brutes that delightin making an Air Gunners life apositive burden.This type seems to live near the

Turret, and takes great delight inlicking off all the oil with which onehas covered one's Guns to keep themfrom rusting.There is unfortunately, no cure for

this trick, except to make sure thatODe oils the Guns daily, as thenthey do not stay exposed longenough for the rust to take effect.This Gremlin also has discoveredthat a slight tap with its hand againstthe spare bulbs for the reflectorsight will break the filaments, andmakes a practice of doing this quiteoften, the result, on a raid when theone in the sight burns out is notonly terrifying to the Gunner, butmakes the Crew think him an awful"Prune," and though the front Gun~ner, or perhaps another may havetaken great care with his, and beable to supply the delinquent, it

does not improve the crews opinionof the culprit. It has been found,that by locking the Turret doorsproperly after final inspection, be-fore a raid, the mechanism, etc. insidethe Turret is safe, so Gunners shouldsee that they do this.There is no favour shown by this

species to the Wireless Air Gunnereither, it has been known to crossthe wires of the batteries and thusmake them discharge and run down,this is very awkward if found outafter take off, and frequently resultsin the Aircraft having to return tobase, so care should be taken to seethat wires are securely fastened, ifsecurely fastened in the right place,they cannot be harmed, as the bruteis not very strong, but relies forhis devilment on his wit and clever-ness. On operations it appears toride just above the Rear Turret, andhas been known to be deliberatelysick, covering the perspex with anasty grey fluid, making it impossiblefor the Gunner to see out, and giving

THE TUMBLING TENOn August 27th, the TumblingTen. group of Trainees under thedirection of Cpl. Higginson put ona short but snappy display including:Dives. Headsprings. Handsprings.Balance Acts. Combination Tumblingand Pyramids.Perhaps the highlights of the show

came when AC2 Millward balancedone chair on top of another andproceeded to do a hand-stand ontop of the balancing chair.The pyramid work. and in fact theentire performance was highly corn-

mendable considering the short timethe lads had had to prepare it.This display was only a beginning

of the program we hope to have onthis station in the future. The sloganof the PT. class is:-"Give us Matsand we will give you Tumblers."Members of the Tumbling group

included: AC2 Millward, AC2 Layng.AC2 Still. AC2 Seligman, AC2 Kor~ber. LAC Robertson, LAC Lyons,LAC Lamb, LAC Godin, LAC Gor-man and Cpl. Higginson.

000SOFTBALL

Time and space make it impossiblefor us to give you any detailed ac-count of all the games which havebeen played since the last issue ofthe Paulson Post; however in spiteof trying weather conditions theSoftball league is drawing to a finish

with Equipment section at present inthe lead.

000One of the most interesting lea-

gue games was played on Aug, 24thwhen P.H.U. defeated the Officerswith a score of 6-5. The P.H.U.team made their first 5 runs in thefirst inning and the Officers heldthem at that until the final inning.In fact it was a tie-game from thethird to the final inning. Both teamsplayed a snappy game with fewerrors.

000Another thriller in Men's Softball

was the night the Station team play-ed Number Ten S.F.T.S. and weredefeated 8-7 in a snappy. well play-ed game.Undoubtely the most exciting game

in W.O. Softball. at least as far asNumber Seven is concerned was thenight the W.O. station team defeatedthe Dauphin Coca Cola team (whohold the Northern Manitoba cham-pionship) with a score of II ~to.

000BASEBALL

Fans and players of this goodAmerican game have had plenty ofactivity in recent weeks. A four-team league has been operating onthe station and the station teamhave played Ochre River, NumberTen S.FT.S. and the R.eM.p. teamin Dauphin.One of the best games in our

oprmon. was the game with theR.eM.p. on Tuesday, Sept. 8th. Ifyou were there you must be ableto recall it and if you were not itwas the one you heard all the fanstalking about. The one that endeda three all tie and could be put

down as one of the finest of theseason. Esslinger turned in a splendidperformance as the pitcher and theentire team gave him excellent sup-port.

000VOLLEYBALL

The Trainees have turned out anumber of smart teams for Volley-ball. Class 36B play an all roundgood game but the real scientificgame was brought forward by theAir Crew I.T.S. They played thegame with a mathematical passingcombination that would rival eventhe world famous grads.

000BADMINTON

Sports' Stores is gradually gettinga fine amount of badminton equip-ment in stock and hopes to continueto increase the amount as time pro-gresses. The rackets are busy everynight and if enthusiasm is any signof ability we should have a numberof Badminton stars this winter. Themention of winter brings to ourminds the thought of winter sport,including Badminton. We hope tohave a mixed-doubles and a singletournament running this winter butas yet no definite policy has beendrawn up for the winter program.

000THE TRACK AND FIELD MEETFinally after three unsuccessful

attempts that ill-fated .Track andField Meet was completed on August23rd. Although the entries were notas numerous as in, previous occa-sions; some excellent performanceswere turned in. AC2 Bleakley set anew Air Force record for the discusthrow-> 108' 4". LAC Newby clearedthe pole vault at 10'6". The grandaggregate trophy for the contestantscoring the highest number of points

was won by LAC O'Neil with Cpl.Higginson second. In the W.D. AWlWalper won the 'grand aggregatetrophy with Mulligan and Heavenertied for second place. The Trophygiven for the section winning thehighest number of points was easilywon by G.I.S.

a a aFOUL OR FAIR

As we go to press one of themost exciting games of the seasonhas just been played between Officersand Maintenance. Maintenance gotaway to a flying start with a mere8 runs in the first inning. It lookedbad and several of the Officers Iook-ed a bit sheepish. (Kind of a diffi-cult trick for a bunch of old goats).However they came right back with5 runs and even Dr. Boyle's hairbegan to sit up and take notice. In-terest also developed when good oldBrawny brought out Oscar. Herewas something realJy worth fightingfor and both sides got grimly downto business. (Oscar, by the way, isa prehistoric Paulsontaurositus, theonly one of its kind in captivity.You 'IJ be getting better acquaintedwith him from now on.) The battlesee-sawed back and forth with Leon-ard and Virtue putting forth titanicefforts to ward off defeat. At lastthe sixth rolled around. The Officershad last bats and the score stood17-12 for Main.By the way, a fine bit of workby Danzinger should not go by un-

mentioned. A whizzing ball passingthird caused him to duck for coverand as he threw himself on theground the ball fell neatly into hisglove, quite dazed, and with a sur-prised look on his face he got bravelyto his feet and subconsciously threwthe ball to first for an out.Let's get back to the end of the

On the evening of September 1. all the W.O. personnel ofNumber Seven gathered in the Canteen for what was called a "Dom-estic Evening." For any who had visions of an evening of mending.these visions were soon dispelled as the party turned into a jollySing-Song. to the accompaniment of an accordian. ably handled byCorporal Hellyer.

The occasion was a happy one. for. as well as being a plea-sant evening with our W.O. Officers, Miss Ritchie and MissGoldthorpe, it was also a welcome to our new Assistant SectionOfficer .. Miss James, who comes to us from Number Ten. A heartfeltwelcome from us all. Miss James!

The business part of the meeting was short and sweet. Itwas decided to move the radio from the writing room into the lounge.No sooner was the motion passed than two powerful M.T. driversbrought the radio in!

The evening concluded with a very attractive tea served byour Officers.

P.S.~ It was suggested by one of the W.O. that possibly theAirmen might request a "Domestic Evening" of their own afterseeing how successful ours was. Another Airwoman asked if theywould spend the evening mending their socks and was answered."Better i f they spend it mending their ways!"

When Main-tenance phoned Miss Ritchie to saythat if Scruffy were a dirty. skinny.straggly-looking little kitten. theyhad found it. as it had just shotthrough their Section, chased by F ILMace's big dog. Miss Ritchie hesi-tated for a moment to own up thatit could be her beloved snow-whiteScruffy, but she took a chance. Itreally was Scruffy, she discovered,after giving him a good bath (what asplendid advertisement for some par-ticular brand of soap!)Perhaps Scruffy is still shy be-

We now learnthat he was stuffing himself in theSergeants' Mess trying to fatten up(You little horror, Scruffyl ) Nodoubt he will get extra fatigues forthis second offence. There is a ru-mour that he will be made to lick,spotlessly clean, two dozen moredishes a day in the Officers' Mess,for the next week!Stinky and Scruffy even take in

For instance, mentioningno names, places or dates, but whowould it be that discovered Mercurypiston rings don't fit in Jacob En-gines-or that a certain Test Pilot isgetting mightly tired of climbing intoa plane and having to climb outagain without even leaving theground, or that some airman foundit necessary to transfer from NightMaintenance to days due to thesame influences-or even why it isthat N.C.O.'s are being seen aroundthe hangar with coveralls on? Aren'tthe scandal possibilities wonderful?It was also overheard in the smokeroom-some incident concerning therecent ball game between Officersand Airmen. What caused the gameto be called on cessation of the sixthinning-when the Officers were onerun ahead-and that run made inthe sixth inning?While we sit back and digest this

Definitely awarded four stars bythe Paulson Post, this splendid per-formance produced by the CanadianLegion War Services' Artists was"tops" with the entire crowd thatattended, (and it was a packedhouse) .Fleurette McCuaig and her Rhy-

rnettes, a first class dance troupe inany show, did not monopolize theshow; in fact according to the airmenthey did not appear nearly oftenenough. The timing and routines ofthe Rhymettes are most commend-able.Bert and Bill of the last war,

wandered in and out during the en-tire program, adding humor andvariety and helping to blend thevarious acts.Master Gordon Fleming with hisAccordion was another universalfavorite. When he played the 12thStreet Rag even the Sgt.-Major inthe hospital started dancing.Bette and Shirley gave a very

clever and unique performance inthe form of a comic dance "We sawthe Sea."

Jimmie Towns with Xylophonewas something new for Paulson andwas therefore doubly appreciated.Ken Ley ton, the magician, with the

help of two of our W.D.'s provedto an amazed audience that cookiescould be made from saw dust (won-der if he ever ate in the Airmen'sMess), and countless other wonders.Jessie Gamble, a star comedienne

in any show was a real hit in "Knit-ting a Singlet for Cecil" and "Wait-ing at the Church."Kerr Wilson, Baritone Soloist ended

(he program with a finished inter-pretation of the "Lord's Prayer,"accompanied at the piano by hiswife.F /L Boyle, in the absence of the

Commanding Officer, expressed theappreciation of the entire station tothe Legion War Services' Artists fortheir truly splendid performance andthe roars of applause that followedproved that his words expressed thesentiments of every Officer, Airmenand Airwomen present.

P A R A C H U T E S E C T I O NI guess the Parachute Section feels

as though it's been invaded - notby a Blitzkrieg - but by Women(This is the topic of the day - andnot a bad one to open my storywith) anyway, as Iwas about tosay - we have seven women in all

in our section and only five ofus males (All married, too). it seemsto make our work a little more onthe interesting side, if you knowwhat Imean.All kidding aside - our section is

really working its way up - (Par-don the bragging) to start with ~we have a cute little "Woo Woo"girl who seems to be on the shyside - she really takes it like achamp and if one would stand tenfeet away from her and point amenacing finger at her - she wouldburst with laughter, eh, Miss Gard-ner.Sgt. Lees has his hands full allday keeping his eagle eye on thestaff of our section and he's doinga swell job of it, (even if his eyeis on the girls, ha, hal.As you all know, he's bunking out

at the beautiful Dauphin Lake withhis cute little wife and I guess she'sgot a close watch on him, too (right.Sarge?) .

000

I wonder why Cpl. Segal left hiswife at home? Is it on account ofthe girls we've got in the section?or because he doesn't want her toknow? He might be cooking some-thing with a cute WD.? Only Segeeknows how.

000

What I want to know is, whathas a certain time keeper got thatwe haven't? He seems to have amonopoly on one of our girls, I

wouldn't like to mention any names,but maybe Miss Dobson can en-lighten us? How about it Dobson?

000

Then we have Miss Lunning whoseems to have either high blood pres-sure or something, because everytime she says "Hi Keed" to an air-man she turns to a cute pink allover her face? and gosh she lookspretty, it suits her, too.

000Did you ever notice "Speed" Mor-

ris walk to work, and notice thechange in a man when he's goingout the gate at 5 o'clock? Gosh! howsome people change, eh, Morris?

000Who is the lucky airman in the

parachute section who's expecting theStork in a little while, I don't meanthat he, himself is expecting, but hiswife, who resides in Dauphin. theone that's doing the work, I wonderif it will be delivered in a 24' ora 28' 'chute, who knows? Maybeyours truly can answer all the ques-tions, Eh?

000Did you ever notice the tall W,D.

with the deep blue eyes that worksin the Target Room, she's the girlwho does a swell job of Repairs onthe Drogues, keep it up Miss Waters.by the way, did you have a good4~ in Saskatoon? I guess you would.having a good man from the Wire-less Section as an escort. what ishis name?

flying his chief hobby at that time.He probably inherited his desire forflying from his father, a pioneerpilot, who flew one of the first "allBritish" aeroplanes at the beginningof this century.Early in 1940. F /L Mace joined

the RCA.F. and has been stationedat the Air Force Headquarters atOttawa, the Aeronautical School ofEngineering in Montreal, NumberTwo B. and G., Mossbank, NumberThree B. and G., MacDonald, andNumber Seven B. and B., Paulson.During this period of time, how-

ever, he did not give up his desirefor flying, and, we were pleased tohear, received his pilot's wings at theWings Presentation Parade at Num-her 10 S.FT.S. on August 28, 1942.Congratulations to you, Sir.In 1940, the wiles of Western

Canada conquered him again, butthis time his bachelorhood was thevictim - and now he boasts of ayoung son, Michael Trevor.And lastly, we have Sylvia of

respected and liked with genuinelygood feeling than F/L Mace. Mayhe remain with us for a long, longrime.

WHY was a certain HospitalCook a little worried when her last'48 carne around and it was doubtfulwhether she would be able to takeit? Was it because of the fact thatthe patients might go hungry duringher absence of was it because ofthe R.A.F. chap who found herheart an easy target for his bombs?We believe it was the latter.WHY did a certain Orderly re-

Mighty Boyle stood to bat.With phlegmatic indifference hewatched five pitches go by, twostrikes and three balls. It was aticklish proposition two down, twoon bases, two strikes and three balls.Somebody was on the spot. ButDoc used his noodle and with raregood judgment he let the bal! goby. There was a tense silence, then,"Ball Four." Once again brain hadwon over brawn.From then on there was no stopping

the Officers. The score mounted 17~17and finally 18~17. "That's ali," saidthe Officers (It was the first timethey had been ahead). "It's gettingtoo dark to play." A howl of rageand despair went up from Mainten-ance. There were shouts of "Gypped,""Play 5 innings or 7". (Main. wasahead at the end of the fifth.) Loft-house, the coach of Main. got redderand redder in the face. McArthur,with his Scotch instinct of posses-sion grabbed Oscar and started offthe field and the rest of the Officershastily followed suit. It is impossibleto fight or play ball when there isonly one side on the field. so Main.trudged along behind and dim rnut-terings reached the slightly burningbut nevertheless elated ears of theOfficers. "Duck Soup", "Our Goosewas Cooked." "Horse Feathers."Oscar looks very nice in the ante-room of the Officers' Mess; but Cpl.Segal who refereed the game seemsto keep himself pretty scarce theselast few days.

THE PAULSON POST 51

'T H E IN D IA N P R O B L E MAt the present time India is deeply

engaging the interest of all Countriesin the World and especially GreatBritain, though individuals may knowbut little of all the background ofRace, Religion, Custom and Historythat have together made the India ofto-day.: It would seem, therefore. thata short talk on India must be ofinterest to all.First of all - What is India? It

is the size of the Continent of Eu~~ope without Russia. 2000 miles fromNorth to South and over 2000 milesfrom East to West. In North Ameri-ca it would roughly stretch fromHudson's Bay to Key West andNew York City to the Great SaltLake. Canadians speak of crossingthe Continent when they travel fromCoast to Coast. India should bethought more of a Continent thana Country.In this great and diverse land of

India live more than 389 millionpeople. three times the population ofthe -United States. They come frommany races. some tall and light ofskin, others are short and dark. Someare warlike. others intellectual andindustrious. Some receptive of newideas, others with no desire to partfrom habits which have been in forcefor centuries.More than 200 languages are spok-

en in India. the Government usingno fewer than 15 for Official pur-poses. though Urdu has gained widecurrency in Northern India. The onlylanguage which all educated Indiansknow in addition to their own isEnglish.India has many religions and their

influence is much wider and deeperthan in the West. and the name ofreligion is often invoked for causes

that have little right to claim it. Thenearest parallel that is to be found inEurope is in the time of the Cru-sades, 800 years ago. when religioncontrolled every aspect of life. andpeople left their homes to die inPalestine to set free the Holy cityof Jerusalem. This spirit is still verymuch a live force in India today forHindus, Moslems. Sikhs. etc., andeach is out of sympathy with theother. and this is the main reasonfor the difficulties of forming aConstitution in India that will be ac-ceptable to all.Everyone should know the history

of the East India Company. Howit started peacefully trading for 150years and gradually found itself as-suming direct responsibility for gov-ernment. and how unremittingly itworked. laying deep the foundationsof a system of administration whichremade the life of India.British rule in India has often been

cried down but however bad theadministration has at times been ithas been the British Government'ssincere aim to give unity to India.security, to raise the level of econo-mic standards and to develop thepolitical life of the Country. Whenunity can be achieved our work inIndia will be finished.It has often been stated that the

British Government promised theIndian people their independence assoon as the last war was over andthen failed to make good their pro-mise. This is not true in fact 01'substance.
