THE 53 SIGNALS regiment showed all other signal regiments how softball and volleyball should be played during their recent one week training period at Camp Gagetown. /
The Prince Edward Islanders outclassed all competitors in these two sports and were mighty proud of their feats. From Lt., Col. Jenkins down, all 5 Signals members were happy that once more the local signalmen showed the way.
To all who participated in these sports at Gagtetown, this column extends congratulations.
THAT WAS a rough series that New York Yankees had with those snarling Detroit Tigers over the weekend. The Bengalis took three out of four from the Bombers and really put a stop to Yan- kees’ drive toward the top of the American league heap.
These men of Jimmy Dykes are playing terrific ball for their | new pilot and there is a better than éven chance that. they'll go the | full distance this year. The experts have heen calling for the Ti-| gers to cause trouble for the last two or three years but they were never quite able to untangle themselves.
Dykes appears to have found the answer to their problems and has them doing things in top notch style. One thing is ‘certain and that is that the Tigers have no fear whatever about the New York Yankees. Charlie Maxwell seems to get great delight in blasting those homers against Yankee pitching and he was up to his old

slice of earth. He repeated the process until a big hole had been dug. ‘
Finally the spectator could stand it no longer and he raced to the snarling machine.
“Excuse me, sir,” he called to the 37-year-old Group Captain. “What are you doing?”
Williams hollered over the din of the engine. “I am making a EXPERT AT WORK
The inquiring officer wiped his brow. “Thank God, Sir. I thought you'd flipped your lid.” He sa- luted smartly and returned to the tower.
Williams kept on working. It turned out that driving bulldozers was one of many things he did before joining the RCAF in 1940,| and he knew exactly what he was doing. It wasn't long before the first green was shaping up.
Now, 18 months later, the

Fit. Lt. Rod Perks, 44, of Tor- onto, who supervised the techni- cal aspects of the course, says Williams ‘‘did more than anyone —he's the man who got the job done.””
The Group Captain still goes | over the course with a bag pick- ing up stones.
NEEDED LINKS
Williams, a compact, well-tan- ned pilot who still puts in his time on Sabre jets, decided the base needed a golf course when he and other officers and airmen were spending several hours travelling to and from courses in Belgium and Luxembourg, He tried to buy land from a neigh- boring farm and when this failed jhe decided to push ahead with available property.
Perks, one - time golf profes- sional at the old Glenmawr Club ;in Toronto, designed a course on a slope that runs down from an aircraft taxiing strip, across a brook, to the base's boundary fence. The fairways criss-cross past a few maintenance buildings.
'
radio towers and other obstruc- tions.
After Wiliams made his con- spicuous start with the bulldozer. each squadron and station section was assigned two greens and two fairways to whip into shape. Instead of labor, some technical sections offered equipment like cups, flagsticks, litter baskets and signs. Station funds were used to build a neat stone clubhouse. PROUD RESULTS
“This building is the only thing that cost us money,” says Wil- liams, proudly. ‘‘The course itself cost nothing.”’
The nine - hole course, which Williams figures will have a par | of 72 for two trips around, is not without a few faults. One hole is within ear-shattering distance of
