Marriage Overseas – An officer or airman who is serving overseas and wishes to marry a woman who is not a Canadian citizen is required to obtain permission; and before permission is given the proposed wife must be found eligible for admission to Canada. The fiancées are examined at the nearest Canadian Embassy Visa Section or Canadian Immigration office in France. As soon as marriage takes place, the wife may be given a "deemed resident" visa and she starts to acquire Canadian citizenship from that date.

On 1 Sep 58, AFHQ by Organization Order 4.8 authorized 601 Radio Relay Squadron to be re-designated as 601 Telecommunications Squadron. Also, the status of the officer in charge of this unit was raised to that of a Commanding Officer. The HQ of this Squadron will remain at 2 (F) Wing.
Reorganization of 601 Radio Relay Squadron
The mobile microwave Radio Relay Squadron of 1 Air Division provides the primary operational communications circuits between continental units of the Air Division. However, responsibility for servicing and maintenance of telegraph and on-line crypto terminal equipment connected to these circuits has been divided among the units using the equipment. Consequently, correction of circuit defects frequently involved personnel of two Wing bases as well as personnel of 601 Radio Relay Squadron.To correct this situation, responsibility for all aspects of telegraph and on-line crypto circuits was combined and delegated to 601 RR Squadron as of 1 September 1958. Appropriate changes were made to the personnel establishment in keeping with the increased responsibilities, and 601 RR Squadron was re-designated as 601 Telecommunications Squadron, the latter name being more descriptive of the function of the unit.
