Mr. Parkinson points out that the date of the school meet has been changed from Friday to Wednesday so that parents and track féllowers may have a better opportunity to come out and see the boys and' girls in Some of the better efforts to date 'in training grinds have been turned in by seniors Earl Bacon, Paul Peel, Roy Lane 'and John Waldén- sperger; intermediates Garnet Palmer,' Jack Owen, George Cochrane, John Doupe,. Garry Lawrence; and John Naylor, Jim Baird, Bob Miller, and Peter Atkin of the junior class.

'"There's such a differ- ence and so many new faces." One "of the places he met a lot of newcomers was at the high school vesterday morning when students wel- comed him back and presented hin with a pen and pencil set. unassuming veteran of two years soldiering told the assembled pupils of some of the conditions of Korea. In- troduced by principal James Crane, the honoured ex-student was welcomed by Jean Samells and presented with the gift by Stanley Glass. "Something horrible" is the .way Chilton describes Korea. "The people aren't civilized and the country is nothing but hills." Private Chilton didn't have too much contact with the people as his battalion was whipped into action three days after landing at Inchon. He said the western part of South Korea was mostly rocky while 'the central sector where-his-company was in action was very hilly with con- siderable marshy areas in "the valleys. "We didn't get much time to go sight-seeing in Korea or to. mingle with the people," he explained. "How- ever we did pass through the city of Seoul and the large United Nations military...cemetery. at Pusan---on. the way 'back. The. most pleasant mem- ory of his overseas trip was a five day rest period in Tokyo, Japan. "It's a wonderful city, I would go back there any time, There -ig pli nty'of enter- tainment there for trdpps and the Canadians were treated tbps." Like most--Korea vetérans, Vic is modest and quiet on the subject of battle experience. "I'd like to forget that," he said adding later that he came through the ten months and two weeks in the lines, with only a scratch. "I received a slight shrapnel wound when a shell exploded. I fell to the ground 'for cover and about ten of my mates fell on top of me. Out of it all I got a slight 'serate) on my little finger." ; rivate Chilton says most of the Canadians over there believe the Reds are using the peact talks for propa- ganda and" stalling. "It's a racket," However, he said the Reds The quiet, | ---- Korean Veteran Seen). Papils oe VIC CHILTON aided by the Russians are very well equipped now and their artillery fire is much improved. "The U-N troops have the best of everything." He had a-specia] word for the ROCK (south Korean army) who are well disciplined and the British and Australian troops | whom he fought with, "The food was good," said Vie, "I better say that as one our fellows complained about it on arriving ir Vancouver and got 90 days." One of his best meals was Dec. 24 when his company was relieved to celebrate = Christmas: Each soldier was-trented tor a Christmas dinner: and speeial beverage. Despite. the fact that freezing rain was falling over the slippery, rocky slopes they enjoyed it. A native of Toronto, the 'young soldier came to this district around 1941 and attended public and-high schools here, , He joined the special force in August, 1950 at 16 after working at Pickering 'Farms groce- teria. He joined up at Toronto and trained at Curry Barracks, Calgary, Wainright: and Fort Lewis, Washing- ton, before embarking from Seattle in September 1951 with the famed Prin- cess Patricias, Vie arrived back in Seattle Sépt. 4 and landed in town on Saturday. He plans to holiday for a few weeks and expects to be dis- charged from the army in Toronto on Nov. 10. He hasn't decided what vo- cation to take up but he has lots of time--as he won't mark his nineteenth birthday until next May.
