Alston, Diss, Norfolk, England, for $25,000. This is thé second highést price ever paid in Canada for a Holstein sold for export. The sale re-opens the British market which has been closed to Canadian Holsteins since 1946. Accompanying Rocket "are «two: other Holstéin' bulls, one from Romandale Farms, Unionville, Ontario, and one from Bruce W; Naylor, Maple, Ontario. The Romandale bull also went to James D. Alston, while D. I. Alston of Stowmarket, Suffolk, purchased the Naylor bull. At the top left Rocket's mother Rockwood June Rockette, and Grand Champion show cow looks on, while below three of. his daughters, (left to right) Anna, 'June Achilles, and Péttie look on. Canadian Holstein breeders are hopeful that this will mean the start of regular sales of # limited number of high class animals to British breeders, under the terms of a new 'policy estab- lished by the British Friesian Cattle Society which permits its members to add up to two animats from 'other countries to their herds for breed improvement purposes. RCAF Personnel Survival Training © Survival in the wilderness that makes up so much of our country, may depend on a man's character, resourcefulness, and his adaptabil- ity. In most instances, ingenuity will be the key to his survival, and a man trained to use that key will live; the untrained may die. For students at the RCAF's Sur- vival Training School, a key is provided--and organization design- ed to teach them how to Stay alive under adverse conditions. ~ The main base for this schooi is at Edmonton, where the stu- dents, mostly Canadian with a Sprinkling of British and Améri= are given a séries of lée- tures to prepare them for what lies ahead. They are also issued carried in their aircraft and' are taught how to usé it. great outdoors, and the course is rigorous, for survival techniques : cah not be learned in a héated | classroom. Conditions facing fhe' crew of an aircraft forced to land in the bush -country would prob-i ably be severe, either from cold, hunger, insects, or any combina- ated on the principle of duplicat- ing these conditions. Students are under the guidance are aided by former trappers, hunters, and guides who round out this rugged "'faculty". After the classrooms phase at Edmonton, students are taken to the RCAF's permanent bush camp at Jarvis Lake, Alita.; some 200 miles west of the city, in the shad- tains. Here they begin to put into prae- tice what they have learned from books, lectures, and training films. Each man is dressed in suitable bush clothing and takes along a sleeping bag, together with an emergency kit containing food ra- tions and items normally carried in the emergency kits of aircraft. A limited number of firearms are isstied, to be uséd collectively. The emergency rations, while sufficient to keep a man alive, i ae aa ae leave a mighty empty feeling in the mid-section if they're not sup- plemented by game and smail animals. Getting this extra food, cutting firewood, and building Shelters from saplings and spruce boughs takes up much of -their time. One of the rron-bound camp regulations requires students to eat éverything they shoot; which has thé effect of draStically re- dticing Wanton pot-shooting. Each day, a périod is set aside for lectures. For example, aftér being shown how to fabricate and lay a snare, the students go out on théir own, hoping to be the first t6 catch a rabbit or perhaps a squirrel. Other types of practical instruction include the laying and| withdrawing of fishing nets, and skifining and eléaning the' catch: An important phase of the train- ing deals with bush travel. Ali the students are taken out by one of the instructors, divided into groups of two, and separated at ten min- uté intervals. By this time, every- one except the instructor is lost. The object of the exercise for the students is to orientate themselves and get back to eamp as quickly as possible. There have been many incidents, which although amus- ing to camp mates, have proven a very valuable lesson to the stu- dent who originally felt that it was quite easy to travel through the heavy bush in waist-deep snow. The RCAF doesn't expect the 14-day bush course to work mir- acles, but it does expect that the special training will accomplish two main objectives. First, it will help to rid fliers of the fear of being downed in inhospitable country, and second, it expects Survival Training School graduates will know enough about looking after themselves in the North to take full advantage of the coun- try's resources if they are ever forced down. j Everything But Children Isn't 'it true that everything in this modern age is now being con- trolled by switchés -- that is, everything but children?

Haileybury lODE Plans June Ball The monthly meeting of the Haileybury Chapter 1.0:D.E. was held at the home of Mrs. J. Shouldice on May 8th. After all reports were' finished, plans for the forthcoming June Ball were finalized. Mrs. K. Sroka (assist. ticket convener) reported that out of 142 tickets in circula- tion approximately 130 already were sold. Although the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and his wife are unable to attend, they have graciously granted their patron- age to the Ball. The Regent announced that Mrs. €. Reynolds who is both Provincial and National Councillor of the 1.0.D.E., has accepted the invita- tion to be in the Receiving Line with her husband, Col. €. E. Reynolds.

Thursday, May 11, 1961 The Haileyburian ee Page 3 Northern TB Groups Meet in North Bay Dr. E. A. Allen of the tubercu- losis preventive branch, Ontario Department of Health was guest speaker when representatives of the Northern Ontario Tuberculosis Associations met at a dinner in the Empire Hotel Cloud room in North Bay. Mr. J. H. Litster, president of the Temiskaming association and Mrs. O'Reilly, secretary, attended the two-day meéeting along with representatives from Timmins, Sudbury, North Bay, Renfrew and guests from Toronto and Ottawa. Mr. and Mrs. Art Herity, form- erly of New Liskeard also attend- ed the dinner. Dr. Allen mentioned infants un- der three years of age, adolescents of both sexes, young women, the Indian population and men over 40 as being the five segments of the population most likely to dev- elop tuberculosis. Stressing the necessity of dis- eovering active cases, not only to provide treatment, but more im- portantly to prevent the spread of the disease, Dr. Allen went on to say, "We must maintain vigil- ance until we have achieved a treatment or drug that will kill the germ of tuberculosis from the face of the earth'. "We have scored spectacular successes with tuberculosis in On- tario and now have the lowést in- eidence of active tuberculosis re- eorded in history: Morality is not even an issue. The picture, how- ever, is not quite as successful as it looks on the surface. Over a million persons in the province have positive tuberculin tests and should have at least annual X-rays taken to guard against breakdown. The incidence, rising by age group, was attributable to the fact that the patients had been infected as ehildrén."' Meetings, discussions and panel séssions were held Thursday and continued throughout Friday.
