TIMARU CALLING

Early in the present month A.T.C. held a social evening in , the Bay '.Hall which . proved a great success, 'thanks to the aid given us by Pilot Office Calder and Miss Jacobs. Novelty events were won by Max Moodie and Mrs. Craig, also’ Jim Fitzgerald and Miss Gillon. ' ■. /

e Unfortunately we- have, lost Pilot Officer Craig, who ps'going to Dunedin to study for a Doctor. On behalf of the -Officers and Cadets o'f the Unit, Flight Lieutenant . Thompson presented Pilot Officer Craig with a tobacco bowl in recognition ' of the good work he has done for the Unit. . We have also lost our Secretary, Rov Entwistle,' who has gone on into R.N.Z.A.F. We all wish Roy luck and happy landings. . “During the month, baseball games

were played between A.T.C. and two other Timaru teams. A.T.C. were successful in both the games. Against a combined Team, Timaru won by 5010 and , against South Canterbury Women’s Reps., we won by 22-13. Apparently- there is quite an amount of talent as far as Baseball is concerned, in our Unit and we would welcome games with the other Units throughout . the province.

One of our N.C.O’s, Corporal Jock Lewis was successful in winning the Speechly Mile Swimming • Race at Timaru last Saturday; ' Congratulations are extended to Corporal Lewis on his success. Our A'T.C. Splash Lunch Hour closes this month. 20 cadets have qualified for .the Swimming Certificate of . 440 yards.
