The 103 Royal Canadian
Air Cadet Squadron of North
Vancouver (Thunderbird
Squadron) is culminating an
active fall program with a
Christmas party on Wednes-
day, December 17, joined by
their officers, instructors
and the sponsoring commit-
tee.

Over the past four months
the 40 cadets, 13-18 years
old, have participated in
various exercises away from
the headquarters at Forbes
Avenue, besides the weekly
training parades.

The gliding and flying
familiarization in the air as
well as survival training in
the bush put into practice
what the cadets had learned
in theory of flight, naviga-
tion, meteorology, airman-
ship and other subjects.

Opportunities for pursuing
special interests such as
radio communication,
photography, band and rifle
range have also been eagerly
utilized by all.

Citizenship, stressed in the
Air Cadet program, had not
been neglected by the
members of the “103D".
Squadron members _par-
ticipated in various com-
munity parades and
memorials, assisted in poppy
sales and wheelchair shopp-
ing for the disabled among
others. This is but a small ex-
pression of thanks to the
community and the armed
forces for the no-cost oppor-
tunities presented to the
cadets.

It is the adult officers and
instructors who organize and
supervise the many = ac-
tivities, giving their spare
time and enthusiasm for suc-
cessful squadron programs.
Some of the things they have
in the works are the con-
tinuation of the _— fly-
ing/ghding experience as
well as tours of Whidby
Island Naval Air Station and
McCord Air Force Base in
the USA. Planned for later
in the spring are a tour of
CFB Comox, = adventure
training, and an exchange
with an Otlawa Air Cadet
Squadron.

After the Christmas break
the Wednesday training
parades will resume on
January 7,6309.30 pm A
fund-raising bottle dnve will
be conducted on the 10th
and 11th of January Later in
