The Vimnybranch is unique in that neariy ail its members are ex-off i- cers of the Canadian armed forces. On the programn for the banquet was printed a list of the executive and the past presidents. It contained a -boun- ty of, Brigadiers a, confusion of Colo- nels, a mess of Majors, a wedge of Wing Commanders and a sca ttering of Squad- nonii Leaders. Seiors officers.

I've enjoyed a firm con- viction that tLhere is nô possible way anyone can pound anvthing into the h-ead of a senior officer. 1-ore .was a golden, oppotunîty to prove my theory, and I, saiied into it with gulsto. I didn't use a phoney sur- vey or a lot of statisticai facts, but per- sonal experience, and I let them have it with both barreis. As a flying student, I first nan into the obtuseness, of the senior off icer, This wing commander, the chief flying in- structor, neariy had a stroke becau se I'd /tried ta land from one end of the î runway whie another student was try- ing to land fnom the other. How was I to know the wînd had changed 180 de. grecs since I'd taken off? -During advanced flying training in England, a similar occurrence deepen- ed my conviction.

Some fool down on .ve the nunway started firing red flancs. ,i- I went around agaîn, and again he ,nd did it.

On my founth approach, I did or the usuai cockpit check and no red b, flares went Up. iii 1 Ii- roiied to a stop and the squadron In leader was standing in his jeep, his face ue, a sort- of mulberry shade. And once again the insensitivity of, senior, off i- cens was dispiayed. Not only did he eall me a stupid dlot' who shouid be sent, back to Canada in a, strait-jacket,~ but the dirty dog cancelled my weel;'e.nd pass. And ail because I'd forgotten one littie item on my first three approach- es: putting my wheels down. Theri thene was my squadron com- mander in France. I was bis No. Two and we'd made a dive-bombing attack, firing our cannon as we ,dived, which was our wont, not to hit anything, but to boîster our nerves. He shouted some- thing on the way down, but I thought it was something siliy like, "Hammer the Huii", so paid no attention, closed my eyes, as was MY wont, and squeez- ed the tit. When we landed, he was in a ter- rible flap because I was the oniy one who had droppcd his bombs - on the wrong side of the bomb uine, 1 thought it was damn poor naviga- tion on his part. 1 think what reaiiy bothcred hlm was that I'd shot off a bit of his wing on the way down. Then there was the rid iculous squadron leader in flying control, who made me land with a bang-up. In those days a bang-up was not some trivial emational disturbance. It was a fuscd bomb, dangling by its tail from your wing.\1 I tnicd to get rid. of it over the sea,' Nothing worked. Hopefully, 1 suggaest- cd, "Shall I bail out?" His neply: "Don't be silly.

No wonder the Psaimist, prayed: "Let the wonds of my mouith and the meditation of my heant be acceptable in tby sigbt, O Lord; my rock and my redeemer." Centuries later, the Divine Teach- er emphasized this importance of right- ness of heant. He broke, witb the religi- ous "establishment", because he insist- ed-that the devaut hife was bonn of an inner spirit which Was nat ta be stifled by mere fonms and customs. The inner ile? People regard such taik as nubbisb. Ours is an activist age. Sa long as you are active, according ta the vague, you may be forgiven aimost anythinrg. But the evidence keeps pil- ing up: we must set aur heants right, ta set the world right.
