three locks on a single apart- ment door and sometimes you see f four.

The only possible eonclusion - to’be drawn from this phenom- enon is that Russians—at least the urban component of the population—tend to be dis- | trustful of other Russians.

One of the most vivid recol-

days’ in’ Moscow,“two yearg ago, is of stepping into’ a | hardware storé one day

a look around and noticing brisk trade in locks.

a hectic summer in the defence department:

The 4th Canadian Infantry Brigade in Europe has started itself the Canadian Army National Force (Europe). This is to better distinguish it- self. from other NATO military forces.

Airmen. who “spend at least one year working in the under- ground Northern Region head- quarters of North American Air Defence — Command._at- Bay,. Ont., are awarded the “order of the mushroom.” Members .wear a tiny. gold mushroom pin.

NORAD. headquarters at Col- orado Springs, Colo., has an underground ‘‘yacht club.’ Aa i club-éomprises @ rowboat which: is used to inspect the two huge water reservoirs inside Chey- enne Mountain where the head- quarters {s located.

Norman W. Radforth. a Me- Master University professor who does work for the Defence Re- search Board, told a meeting here that more attention is be-

.[ing paid to vehicles for getting

around.on the surface of the moon than to vehicles capable of crossing muskeg. There are more than 500.090 square miles of muskeg_in Canada.

The new. headquarters -of the i4nation ‘Supreme Headquar- ters, Allied Powers in’ Europe, at Casteau, Belgium, will cost $43,000,000. This is about the estimated cost, of Canada’s new defence headquarters.

‘The defence department is still considering re-engagement honuses for men who leave thie services and then re-enlist. This _would..make man who was given a fat bonus Then com retired to rejoin and” get anther bonus.
