IIKE MOUNTAINEEIS Signallers Chain Trucks Together To Cross Desert

By JACK BBAYLEY Canaiaa Press Staff Writer

ABU SUWEIR. Egypt ICPi- Canadian Illnallers. opeflllnl in wine of the most isolated outposts of the United Nations Emergency FUITC. have taken a tip from mou i s and chained their trucks together.

in pushing urgently-needed sup- plies and rations through the has- ards of desert sand and rain storms. the signallers find the chain-link system not only keeps the trucks from straying when the track becomes obscured by drifts.

but also furnishes a boost for pouer when one vehicle bogs down.

when the Canadians first ar- rived here and looked out at the desolate stretches of the Sinai. they expected no more difficulties than many of them had already conquered in the snowy wastes of the Arctic.

SAND WORSE

But they soon found that sand. whether dry and drifting or wet and sticky. is a much more un- yielding and dangerous foe.

Take the experience of Cpl. R. J. l-Imo of Bronte. 0nt.. and Sigma. J. I-'. Butt of Kingston. Ont. It took them 24 hours to travel less than 200 miles from here to east- ern El Themed.

They were stuck in the bitter cold of a desert night. lost. and IF” wondering if prowling Bedouina ucre hostile. And wondering. too. if they were near unmarked mine fields.

The desert storm blotted out the roadway and obscured their own tracks so they could not retreat to safety. They travemd a circuitous route. finally found traces of a road. and shovelled through drifts up to eight feet high.

TOWED BACK

in a last desperate bid to reach their station. they tried to buck ilirough wine of the drifts. but the hard sand snapped off I front differential. an oil pan was smashed. and they were left stranded. They were finally located

TORONTO iCPl - Tax relief combined with delayed savings was Idvocated by A. C. Ashforth president of the Toronto-Dominion Bank. in an address to a Rotary Club Wednesday.

Mr. Ashforth, recalling that he had made this suggestion in his address to the banks annual meeting in December. stated:

"I said at that time there was need for a method which would afford some form of tax relief anl at the same time direct the money returned into the savings stream.

"To achieve this I suggested tiint a non-assignable certificate for the amount of the tax cut could be issued. These certificates could mature five years from the date of issue but would be re- deemable. at the option of the government. at an earlier date if it felt that an expansion of the cash resources in the hands of the public was desirable.

This suggestion was received favorably by the press across Canada. A similar suggestion was incorporated in a brief submitted by the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce to Finance Minister Harris a few weeks ago.

RECEPTION GOOD

"The press reported the recep- tion of the proposal as favorable -a somewhat different reaction than expressed by an unidentified official when the proposal was first drawn to his attention last

Banker Suggests Tax Cut, Refund Only After 5 Years

Decembe .

"This gentleman described it as 'a gingerbread device that really wouldn't be very helpful to any- one.' I believe the reaction of the average taxpayer is. 'give us more gingerbread.”

In the current fiscal year, Mr. Ashforth said. the federal govern- ment will have a substantial sur- plus. In such circumstances one would normally expect a tax cut. but it could be argued that this would be inflationary as it would increase the amount of money in the hands of customers available for spending.

"The money. of course." Mr. Ashforth continued. "could be ap- plied to debt reduction and this would be anti-inflationary.

"But the governments are hu- man organlzations and it is only human to spend more if you have cash in the till. Proof of this is the flood of stories out of Ottawa in recent weeks in respect to pro- posals to increase government spending.

"I wonder whether some of these stories are not 'kite flying” to determine public reaction. Per- haps we as taxpayers should sug- gest to our representatives in Par- liament that they should be seek- ing ways to reduce expenditures rather than to increase than."

Mr. Ashforth said he agrees with the current monetary policy of the Bank of Canada.

Throne Speech

HALIFAX (CP)-Opening cere- monies over. the Nova Scotia legislature gets down to serious debate today with Liberal Oppo- sition Leader Henry Hicks slated to fire his first broadside at the new Progressive Conserva- tive governmont of Premier Rob- ert L. Stanfield. .

The 41-year-old former premier. whooa government was deposed in an October election. adjourned the throne speech debate Wednes- day. He and his 42-year-old suc- cessor already have tangled out- side the House in a series of pub- lic statements on the state of the provincial treasury.

The premier says Liberal over-

” before the election left the new administration with a prospective deficit of more than 33.500300. Mr. Hicks says no such deficit was in sight when his cab- inet rasignod in Novembe .

WISE FINANCING URGID

The throne speech read at Wed- nesday's opening by Lieutenant- Governor A lis t a i r Fraser laid emphasis on a need for prudent financing. The Stanfield govern- ment aarller asked municipalities new school projects to "es lrtial" construction. The province pays a substantial sting of the cost of new schools.

However. the throne speech fore- cast increased aid for industrial development and new home con- struction. and promised more high- way paving and bridge replace- ment "with al reasonable speed."

The government also annouticed it will resume financial grants for new hospitals but gave no indica- tion when or if it wil Join the pro- posed national health insurance scheme. The speech said merely that the province is still studying Ottawa's plan.
