The objective during World War II was to provide an entry opportunity for students of all faculties at major universities, to become commissioned officers in the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve (RCNVR). The UNTD program successfully met the objective of the Navy until the end of the war. In 1946 Commander Herbert Little became the Staff Officer UNTDs. In large measure, it was due to his dedication and effort in support of the plan, during massive post war cuts to personnel and training systems, that the priority for resources for the UNTD was retained. It is timely, in the seventieth year of the founding of the UNTD that Commander Robert Williamson has revised and updated his original historical and anecdote-filled account of that successful endeavour. It is my belief that all of those who have been associated, in any way, with the UNTD know how important the organization has been to them and to the Navy. I also know they will cherish Bob's book. I became a Cadet RCN in September of 1950 when I was appointed to Cataraqui additional for Queens University UNTD. The training I received at Cataraqui and on the coast in the summer was the foundation of my naval career. There is no doubt that the training and the friendships have lasted long and strong as has the ethic and pride of being a naval person. 3 In addition to providing commissioned naval officers, the UNTD has given other benefits to the Navy. Over the years and particularly when I was MARCOM, I concluded that the most important of the other benefits was the constituency that the members of the UNTD, individually or in groups, provided to the Navy in the cities, towns and villages across the nation. The development of this constituency is the direct result of the impact of the UNTD graduates' contribution to their communities in the course of their business and social activities. These officers, in the main, are and act as informed advocates as they speak with understanding of the Navy. They thereby help our fellow citizens who, from time to time, have difficulty in contemplating knowledgeably the way ahead for our fleet. Memories linger for us all, particularly I suggest, the memories of our days as cadets; quiet nights at sea, kye, evolutions, painting the ship's side, hammocks, boat work, the banyan, navigation, defaulters, Church Parade, pilotage, Captain's rounds, action stations, engineering, piping the side, middle watch, the White Twist, but most of all, we have the memory of friendships, duty, and loyalty never forgotten. Let Bob Williamson's book remind you of this once again and then ask yourself when was it better than when you were a "UNTD"? Vice-Admiral John Allan CMM CD (Retired) Ottawa, Ontario Editor's Note Vice-Admiral Allan is the most senior ranking graduate of the UNTD program. He has had a distinguished career in the RCN including the following appointments; Project Manager for the DDH 280 Program, Commander of the First Destroyer Squadron, Commander of Maritime Command and Deputy Chief of Defence Staff. * * * * * * 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A book such as this was brought about by a wide range of influential factors. Those who contributed their anecdotes are listed at the end of this acknowledgement. Through their participation they brought substance to the events of the various time-periods of this chronicle. Every cadet was required to keep a journal. I am indebted to those who saved their records and took the time to review their dust-covered volumes, extracting memories from their pages. Some material was recovered and adapted from copies of the "White Twist". We all owe a debt of gratitude to the forgotten editors of our UNTD yearbooks who, under trying circumstances, relentlessly published this annual record of our thoughts and actions. Thanks also to Fraser McKee, that inveterate collector of naval memorabilia, who has to my knowledge, mustered the only complete set of UNTD Yearbooks in existence. Recognition also must be given to Philip Chaplin who, while working for the Directorate of History at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa, prepared a short paper on the history of the UNTD in 1963. Fortunately this was done while the recollections by the architects of the plan were still discerning and before Armed Forces records became confused by the upheaval of unification in 1968. I appreciate the support and advice of Commander C. H. Little who contributed a copy of his personal recollections as a source document for this book and applied a wealth of experience and insight to a critical proof reading of the original manuscript.. Cdr. Fred Lee, UNTD '58 and Charles Copelin, UNTD '53, former President of the UNTD Association of Upper Canada were helpful in early edition research. Bill Clearihue, UNTD ’6 5 helped with the revised edition. The technical aspects of producing the first editions of this book must be credited to the assistance provided by the Business and Photography Departments of Sir Allan MacNab Secondary School as well as the computer expertise of my son PO1 Paul Williamson RCNR and daughter Jayne Ellis. My 5 writing style has been polished and refined by my wife Eileen and influenced by John Winton, author of "We Joined the Navy", the story of the misadventures of midshipmen in the Royal Navy. The idea of telling a story through a collection of anecdotes came from The Naval Officer Association of Canada's, "Salty Dips" and Readers' Digest, "Humour in Uniform". The confidence to undertake a major enterprise such as UNTiDy Tales was fostered by my professional career supervisor, Jim Forrester, (a fellow UNTiDy) who recognized my potential and got me involved in writing activities for the Department of Education. However, the seed that produced this book was planted many years ago when my mother, Marjory, with the foresight that most mothers have, saved all of my correspondence as a cadet. Her reasoning at the time was simple. She said, " Some day you will want to write a book ". Commander Robert J.

  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century
    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.

  • THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY 1087 Each Is Responsible for Anti-Submarine Operations Involving RCN and RCAF Forces in His Command
    THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY 1087 each is responsible for anti-submarine operations involving RCN and RCAF forces in his Command. The 20 Naval Divisions of the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve are under the over-all command of the Commanding Officer Naval Divisions, with headquarters at Hamilton, Ont. There are naval staffs in London, England, and Washington, D.C., U.S.A., to maintain liaison with the Royal Navy and the United States Navy. As a result of Canada's NATO commitments, officers of the Royal Canadian Navy serve on the staffs of: the Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic, at Norfolk, Va., in the United States; the Commander-in-Chief, Eastern Atlantic Area, at Northwood in Britain; and the Com­ mander-in-Chief, Western Atlantic Area, at Norfolk, Va. The Flag Officer Atlantic Coast holds the NATO appointment of Commander, Canadian Atlantic Sub-Area. The strength of the RCN on Aug. 31, 1964, was 20,276 officers, men and women in the regular force and 2,875 in the reserve force. Operations at Sea, 1963-64.—During 1963, ships of the RCN spent more than 5,700 days at sea and steamed over 1,000,000 nautical miles on exercises, training exercises, patrols and on passage; naval aviators flew over 5,370,000 nautical miles in 35,600 hours flying and made 3,836 day and night deck landings on board HMCS Bonaventure. HMCS Provider, a 22,000-ton replenishment ship, joined the fleet in September 1963 and, by Sept. 1, 1964, four new Mackenzie class destroyer escorts and one Annapolis class had also joined and one was under construction.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971.
