Seeing Our Fighting Forces Overseas This is the third of a series written by Walter R. Legge, in collaboration with C. V. Charters, representative of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association on the trip to Great Bri- tain. After a week with various activ- ities of the Canadian Army in Eng- land, we started to see what the Roy- al Canadian Air Force is doing. On Saturday, September 5, we were received by Air Marshal H. E. Edwards Officer Commanding in Chief, R.C.A.F. (Overseas) at on in formal press conference at which he freely answered all the questions put to him by the Canadian editors. The Air Marshal made it clear that he fully favours Canadiunization of the R.C.A.F. and that those who are in opposition to do this do not fully understand what is meant. Canadian- ization of the R.C.A.F. overseas does not mean that it will cease to cooper- ate with the rust of the R.A.F., any more than some famous regiments would operate independently of the rest of the army. "The very root of high morale finds itself in identity," declared the Air Marshal. He erpresRi-d himself as well satis fied with the standard and training of the men coming over from 1 Canada and summed it up in the words "Our Air Force is superb." "At another time, he said, "This war will be won in the air. It is the only way it can be won. Not without the Army and Navy, but definitely in the air." After such an interview we were more anxious than ever t i study the work of the R.C.A.F. at first hand. The first squadron which we visited was the one commanded by Squadron Loader Keith Hodson, D.F.C., of Lon- don, Ontario. One of the most inter- esting things to be seen at this station is a remarkably fine scrap book con- taining photos and clippings of ull matters which have taken place at this station. It in an excellent idea and very well carried out. At this station WP chatted with Fit. Sgt. 0. II. J. Fisher, U'adviw, Susk., who s>poke of the pleasure he gets from his home town weekly which he has been receiving all through the two yean he has been overseas. An- otker member of this station with whom we converse! was Fit. Sgt. J. W. Cantelon, of Ridgetown, Ontario. Fit. Sgt. Cantelon is a w>n of Mr. and Mm. J. H. Cantelon, who are living in Alliston, where Mr. Cantelon 11 manager of the Bank of Montreal. A fine show of formation flying and nianoeuvers was witnessed by the editors during the afternoon. On Monday, going to see a more distant station, the visiting editors were lucky enough to be able to see the departure and return of a bomb- er squadron wncn lormea part 01 u raid on Duisburg. The same even- ing we witnessed a German raid an a neighbouring town. The whole ev- ening was such an unique experience that it will be the subject of a separ- ate article. Among those whom we met at the station were Fit. Lieut. Cliff Guest, of Barrie and Ottawa, who immediat- ely asked after Mr. and Mrs. J. A. -McLaren, of the Barrie Examiner, and Pilot Officer Arthur Morlidere. whose father is a member of the staff of the LJoydminster Times. There are a number of Montrealers attach- ed to this station. While there, a number of Halifax and Wellington bomJbers were inspected by the edit- ors. The next day we moved on to an- other station where Lancaster bomb- ers are located, and were given an opportunity to climb on board one of them. Some of the largest bombs being used against Germany were seen, and the editors also saw a bomb- er being loaded with bombs and being serviced 1 for a raid that night. At this station we talked with Fit. Sgt. Reynold Quinn of Branvptonville, who has two brothers in the R.C.A.F 1 Fit. Sgt. Harold Quinn, who has just returned to Canada as an instructor, and P.O. Walter Quinn attached to another station in England. Having eaten several meals in the messes of these stations, the editors agreed that the food is excellent and plentiful. It is served to the boys by girls of the W.A.A.F. These messes have large bright rooms, equipped with libraries, radios, gramophones and games, and there is a very pleasant and cheerful atmosphere in all of them. One remark that we heard was that the meals on the stations are very much bettor than tho meals served on most of the boats bringing the boys over. In fact, it was sug- gested that something should be done to improvo the meals on the boats. Afternoon tea and late dinners, ac- cording to the English custom! seems to be the rule at all these stations. The following afternoon, the edi- tors visited u night fighter station of another aerodrome. Fhsherton United Church Kev. K. G. Mculillan. Pastor Morning subject: "God Who Cares."

Matches When children can ^et them are as dangerous as a tire maniac. Putting coal nil in the stove is akin to putting a torch to your house. A car. truck or tractor driven on your barn floor may reduce your buildings to "scorched earth." Safeguard life and projHrrty by practising every safety measure. Oon't set a lantern down, even on a window ledge, but hang well up with a good strong snap. Keep matches in metal boxes out of tin- reach of children. Don't revive a fire with coal oil or gasoline. If you must drive u motor driven vehicle on your barn floor, m'akt sure that the floor is *wf/>/ clean of everything flammable. Life is dear and buildings almost impossible to replace for the duration. Furthermore, your farm is one of the food baskets of the Km pi re u vital cog in our Victory machine, t to prevent tires, for your loss is the Nation's loss now.
