Between them. they have ram- bled through parts of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, the Neth- erlands and France since being posted to duty with the RCA?‘ sabre. jet fighter wing at Baden- Soelllngen in the West German province of Baden. They figure they are “typical on the whole" of the 55-odd women in the women‘: division on the station.

Planned Tour:

Tliey like to travel. And they are prompted by periodic planned bus tours arranged by the RCA!-‘ as well as reduced military fares in the country where they are sta- tioned aiid the high buying power of the hard Canadian dollar.

Their first day in London was I sample of their technique. Start- ing from Trafalgar Square on foot. the girls covered the Mall. Buck- ingham Palace and the changing of the guard, the Houses of Par- liament, Westminster Abbey and other stand-out attractions. Thcy topped the day with an American musical in‘ the west end——I prac- tice they maintained.

In the following days, they di- gested museums. art galleria, Madame Toussauds wax museum land the Tower of London and worked in some shopping on the Side‘.

Miss Boulding is a former fed- eral civil servant who was employ- ed in Nictoria and Vancouver.

Miss Schappert was a school teacher in southern Saskatchewan before joining the RCAF‘ for the standard three-year hitch.
