MtLEOD Salute To Air Cadets ALTHOUGH they are planning a special week of their own late in May, air cadets of Prince Rupert will be in uniform all this week to mark the period in which their movement is receiving national attention. ' it is a period pet aside to celebrate the l'Uh an ;niversary of the founding of the Air Cadet League ;of Canada. Formed in the dark days of 1041 to ; provide a pool of pre-trained recruits for the RC I AF, the League saw 3,000 of its members graduate into the parent force. After the war there was little further expansion until li50 when the defence J ministry authorized a 50 per cent increase in air .cadet establishment across Canada. Since that time 50 new squadrons have been formed of which Prince Rupert's is one and more are on the books ; for 1954. Whether or not an air cadet goes on to enter the RCAF, the training he receives is calculated to j be of value in later years. He learns the import-; ance of discipline, a trim appearance and working as a member of a co-ordinated team. His curricu-Jlum encourages physical development and supple- merits his school work with study in special sub-j jec-t., particularly in the field of mathematics. I There also is offered to him an opportunity to I win scholarships in flying, leadership and engineering training and, in what is generally considered the top honor, to travel abroad on an exchange visit with cadets of other countries. In addition, there is the two-week summer camp where the cadet has a supervised program of flying, working and playing. "The Air Cadet League is the finest civilian organization throughout the length and breadth of this land today," Ralph Campney, associate defence minister, has said. This is high praise but, on the strength of the League's record, it seems to be well earned. Prince Rupert's stmadron is a fine ex- r.1. . X .a cars formerly travelled.

But it deserves a far wider and more general readership. For it deals with many of the personalities, events, and background out of which the very texture of Canadian life and thought is evolved. If you want a new insight into that past-master of Canadian politics, the late W. L. Mackenzie King, Norman Smith gives it. If you want not only tne gorgeous spectacle but also the solemn, dedicated atmosphere of the Coronation, he takes you there. Are you curious about the personality is good. However, I thought that j Ontario had gone too far by re- j fusing to license a single gaso-1 line filling station on that new ; super road, anywhere between Toronto and Barrio. - j TORONTO'S experience should have some warnings and bene- I fits for us in Vancouver.

Hence it is easy to understand why .western Canada favors a trade treaty With Japan. It would stimulate sales of grain in the Orient. But any trade treaty with the Japanese means buying more of their goods and this would hit the manufacturers in central Canada. It's just impossible to please everybody.

The reason the book is so good and so worth reading from the standpoint of entertainment and information is probably because it reflects naturally the character and temperament of the author. I.
