Page 2 The Gazette Mount View Museum director Zona Jackson shares some artifacts from Olds' history with Mrs. Howard's Grade 3 class from Olds Elementary School 50 years of Air Cadets on review getting groups of young people together, this seemed to have a little more purpose in wartime. It was a good organization, and it was good to see il grow. When you see the crowd today, it's hard to believe it. lie said. Maybank added that the Squadron was luckv lo pick up the Olds Legion in 1949. which helped il to grow. Jack Parkinson, Murray Malyon and Bob Colwell were part of I hat original squadron. The purpose in J942 , was rather different than creating leaders for the community and that sortof thing, the purpose was lo back up the Air Force for its losses. Malyon said. It was pretty much over by the time the thing look off liecayse ihey had produced so many Air Force guys by 1943 or '44 they didn't need any more. So it's interesting to see that the organization carried on into a public service organiz,i- tion. he added. Cowell noted thai there was a Commonwealth Air Force Training base north of Olds, which provided a role model for the Cadets. 1 think the discipline is something we all benefitted from.'' Parkinson added. At summer camps, run by regular Air Force officers, gave them a taste of military life. Visits from active Air Force veterans on leave from Europe helped fuel Cadets' sense of adventure. They would have their stories of near misses and all the rest of it, to keep us all hyped up. Colwell said. The goal of Air Cadets has always been to develop good citizenship, leadership and physical fitness, as well as stimulate an interest in the military. Major F.ric Steffensen found a career out of Cadets, He was a 185 Squadron member from 1952 to 1956, and joined the Air Force right out of high school, on a flying scholarship. Asa pilot Steffensen ended up as a intercept pilot, flying fighters during several postings, including Canadian bases in Germany. Of course. Steffensen said summer camp was one of the best parts of being a cadet. Summer camp used to be in Abbotsford. and Abbotsford is a very nice place to be in the .Summer, as far as outdoor activities, he said. Travelling to camp on the Cadet train, was another highlight. I don't know where the train originated, but il was all Cadets, giving Cadets a chance to meet like minded kids from across the prairie. A lot has changed in the 50 years that have passed and being a Cadet is not so serious as it was during wartime, but a lot of what made it attractive in 1942 still makes it attractive. A lot of kids don't get to travel very much and they get quite a bit of travelling out of Air Cadets, they get training; it offers the flying scholarships, overseas visits, glider training, things like this thai you don't get out of any organization, Vern Ortwein, a long lime officer in the organization noted. Saturday's anniversary started with a Squadron change of command, the reins being handed from Captain David Lanz to Officer Cadet Dave Clemens and an inspection by Alberta Cadet detachment commander Lieutenant Colonel Dan Graham. Over 350 former Cadets and guests took over the celebrations at a reception at the Olds Legion, where they were reacquainted with former squadron males, and reminisced .over the displays of camp photographs, history books and memorabilia. Ralph Maybank, along with Captain Lanz and Officer Cadet Clemens did the honor of cutting the 50th anniversary cake. Awards were presented at the evening banquet, to officers, organizers and a special former Cadet or two. Brian Leatherdale of the RCAC Alberta pro- vincial committee honored Captain Lanz for his years of service with the squadron, presenting a commemorative plaque. Squadron civilian committee vice-chair Ed Shaw also presented Captain and Mrs. Lanz with a special gift on behalf'of the civilian committee. Anniversary organizers LaVerne Ortwein and Veanna Lanz received plaques in recognition of their efforts. Presentations were also made to former Cadets coming the farthest distance; Walter Kilik from Saratoga, California, and Fred Parkinson from Beaconsfield, Quebec. In turn. Captain Lanz presented Squadron 50th anniversary crest to second vice president Lionel Lanz, and Reverend Herman Miller of the Carstairs Legion, to honor -their support of the organization. residents Hay City Saloon Tuesdays 7:30 - 9:30 Free Dance Lessons NOTICE OF ELECTION LOCAL AUTHORITIES ELECTION ACT (SECTION 11,35,46) LOCAL JURISDICTION: TOWN OF OLDS PROVINCE OF ALBERTA Notice is hereby given that an election will be held for the filling of the following offices: Office(s) Number of Vacancies Ward or Electoral Division Number (If Applicable) Councillors 6 Hospital Board Members 3 Voting will take place on the 19th day of October A.D. 1992, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Voting stations will be located at: Olds Recreation Centre 5205 - 52 nd Street OLDS, ALBERTA DATED at the Town of OLDS in the Province of Alberta, this 2nd day of October, A.D. 1992.

Alberta Agriculture will be hosting a public forum at Olds College Thursday, October 22, to determine the direction agriculture and pod industries should take over the next 15 years. Feedback is needed on the Pro- vince's vision statement included in the strategic planning document, Creating Tomorrow . The draft version statement was initially released by government and industry representatives in May, 1992. It suggests the agriculture and food industries in Alberta become the leading suppliers of the world's food products, and agricultural commodities, services and technologies. Agriculture Minister Ernie Isley, Associate Minister Shirley McClellan, and Deputy Minister Ben McEwen and members of the Local Planning Committee will be on hand to listen to feedback stakeholders wish to share on subsequent goals outlined in the document to make the vision a reality. Committee spokes man and Dean of Agricultural Production and Animal Science at Olds College, Denis Kennedy, believes everyone should have a voice in this vital planning process; whether they are producers, processors, service tehenicians, academics, or consumers. We have a choice in where we are going. This process suggests one vision ... but it may or may not be on target for what industry out there today would like to see. One of the main focuses recommended for agriculture amT food industries involves becoming more globally competitive. Specifically, this could involve increasing the productivity of: food and non-food items, agricultural commodities, services, and technologies. Some very important key elements would have to be in place first before we could realistically see this goal attained, says Kennedy. These elements involve such items as customer satisfaction, a dynamic processing sector, a well-managed environment, and an efficient transportation system, to name only a few. The Olds College Wednesday, October 7. 18Q9 long-term, critical issues surrounding agriculture today. A total of nine similar forums are being held during the months of October and November in both rural and ruban centres so that all stakeholders in the central region have equal opportunity to share their individual viewpoints. Once sufficient feedback has been collected, the next two steps in the planning process; the creation of strategies and the establishment of action plans can commence.
