A CLASSIFIED AD IN THE DAILY NEWS WILL BRING RESULTS CANUCK BACK AFTER ODYSSEY Gordon Patterson Left Home At 18 to Become First D.F.M. of the War REGINA. Nov. 8 CP' WO. 1 Gordon Patterson, D.P.M., who ran away from home in 1936 jwhen he was 18 years old, has returned to Saskatchewan after nine exciUng years. During that time he became Canada's first winner of the Distinguished Flying Medal in the Second Great War, and. was one of the first Canadian war prisoners, captured after balling out of a flaming bomber over Belgium. Completing his schooling in 1936, Patterson hitch-hiked to Vancouver, took a job aboard a tramp steamer bound for England, and for a year worked his way around the world, touching at Panama, Russia, Japan and Pacific islands. After six months as a motion picture operator in England, he Joined the R.A.F. in May 1939, and studied radio for a year. He transferred to No. 12 Bomtier Squadron In April 1939, trained as an air gunner and when war was declared his squadron moved to France to do reconnais sance work over the Siegfried Line. It was later attached to the advance air striking force and bombed German columns against powerful fighter opposition. ! Patterson was due for leave in May 1940 and he Intended to get married. However, the night before, members of his unit were sent on what they were told was a suicide mission the bombing of bridges at Maastriche on thn Albert Canal In Holland. attacked by Fighters Four of the five aircraft did not return. Patterson was an air-gunner and his plane ran into about 40 fighters of which he shot down two. Their plane, however, was bad- I ly shot up and the pilot ordered j the crew to Jump. Struck by the tail ui biic fjldlic 43 lie uaiicu out, Patterson's leg was badly smashed, but he conveniently landed In the courtyard of a hospital at Liege, Belgium. The navigator escaped and the pilot managed to fly the burning plane back to England. That night the Germans entered the town and took Patterson to a military hospital. He was moved from one concentration camp to another and aided many prisoners to' escape al- ' though never successful himself. After five years In German camps Patterson was liberated when three British Bren gun SHORT SPORT The date of the Grey Cup match for the Canadian football championship Is all settled. Thr big gam will toe played in Toronto on December 1. This has ended the speculation whether the western Canada champions might play the Inter-provincial Rubgy union champions in a sudden-death semi-final on November 17. This latest change means that the Grey Cup match will keep Its traditional status as the Canadian grid classic for In It the East will meet the West for the national championship. Although the date and place is settled, the teams that will participate in the big match have yet to be decided. In eastern Canada, the final will he played on November 24 between the champions of the Big Four and the Ontario Rugby 'Union. At the mcmsnt, two Toronto teams the Indians and Balmy Beach- -are playing off for the O.R.F.U. title. And Toronto Argonauts and Ottawa Rough Riders have one more game In their home-and-home. total points series for the Big Four championship. In the West, Calgary and Winnipeg are playing off for the right to come East for the big game. Meanwhile, a question has been raised as to the eligibility of two members of the Big Four teams to play In any Grey Cup match. The players are Joe Krol of Argonauts and Steve Marko of the Rough Riders. It seems the Canadian Rugby Union constitution says a player must be a continuous resident of Canada for one year prior to the opening of the football season to qualify for C.R. U. playdowns. So there Is some doubt as to the status of Krol and Marko. However, the Ontario Rugby Football Union has raised the question on Its Own Initiative. No member clur05. whose Grey Cup chances mt?ht be helped by any ruling declaring Krol or Marko Ineligible, have raised It. The Canadian Rugby Union will have to render a decision concerning the eligibility of the pair. carriers entered the towrrof Las-sahan and accepted its surrender from 200 Germans. Tlree hundred others had fled. He landed in England on V-F Day and May 26 was married t J the girl who had waited for him all through his Imprisonment. Back in Canada now, Patterson has registered at the University of Saskatchewan. He's through with wandering for the present.

Use of the "V building by both these organizations has been strictly unofficial and was said to have involved little or no extra expense to the operation of the centre. Secretary Maurice l.rydgcs tf the Prince Rupert Recreation Council expressed himself as at a loss to understand the reason for the order.
