Mr. T. .7. Kickham, M.P., and Iiir. J. R. MacKinnon, represent- ative of the district architect. D. P. W., met with a group of cit- izens of Montague at the Town Hall yesterday to discuss possible sites for the location of the pro- posed new post office to be erect- ed in Montague. .

Mr. Macxinnon stated several sites had been s throughout the-town. the . cry requirements for the site eing. high level land, centrally located as far as possible, and - having several outlets. particularly an area in the rear of the building for the rural couriers. He said that to build up the land where the present post office is locat- ed, build retaining walls. buy more land. and remove the present post office would be too high a cost. so that a new loca-tion should be considered. The present plans. subject to change, call for a building fifty feet wide and eighty feet long.

Considerable discussion took place regarding possible sites. Mr. Mackinnon pointed out that on a previous survey two lots on the north side had met with specifications, and the site was

.. that no

acceptable to the engineering branch and the architectural branch. He further stated that

several other sites had been con- sidered. but that the site on the north side was closer to require-

ments. However, he said that Coming Events

Last December Mr. Murdoch wrote the department:

'Because of the critical state of employment in our profession. some three years ago -it was decided by a conference which represented mueicisns' associations from Vic- toria to Halifax not to sccepl. mus- iclans coming from abroad until they had established I fence of at least one year in the Jurisdic- tion of the local which they wish to join."

against inflation.

Mr. Towers said in I state- ment that s meeting of the bankers had been held and agree- ment was reached "i'hat it was desirable under present circum- stances to continue the policies of restraint in the granting of bank credit which have been in effect since February, 1961."

He expressed the view "that the co-operation of the charter- ed bahks in a policy of credit restraint has been an important factor helping to check domestic inflationary pressures."

As a result of the policy of restraint. -bank loans and non- governmcnt investments were no higher at the end of last Decem- ber than they were at the end of last February.

However, this was apart from temporary advances of "a sea- sonal character to finance the purchase of grain and Canada Savings Bonds which are normal- ly higher in December than in February." Q.

Officials estimated that the level of: bank loans. and non- government investments totalled about 04.000.000.000 It the end of last December.

The bonks' policy of applying is cautious attitude on extension of new credit has had A two- fold impact on business, officials said:

1. it has discouraged merchants from going in too heavily for stoclopiilng and thereby eased the pressure of demand for goods and on their prices.

2. It has made merchants more active in collection of custom- ers' debts to provide funds for ii-' nsncing.

Silualioiildosl Critical Since Last October

By Donald Batchelor

ISMAILIA. Jan. 'o4-(Reutcrs)-- Britain's garrison in Egypt to- night was placed on a near-war footing in reply to reports of mounting threats by the Egyptian Lxovernment, to use force against British occupation of part of Is- mailia.

Anti-aircraft guns stood mount- ed in the camps. Armored cars were "on the ready" for the night outside Ismallia. ree infantry battalions patrolled the town. Flimsy barricades of wood and barbed wire along the perimeter of the British-occupied part of the Arab town were shored up with sandbags. Extra rolls of barbed wire were strung across alleyways and street entrances.

British staff officers said the situation was at its most critical since last October, when Egypt broke of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty under which the Britons are here.

Ready For Action

Through the canal zone British servicemen were ready to strike down ruthlessly any show of or- ganized Eizyptlan force.

one staff officer said: "We are waiting for the gauntlet to be flung now. I don't believe there will be any half measures after that happens."

Gen. Sir George Erskine, com- mander of British forces in Egypt. said today all necessary precau- tions are being taken to protect his troops in view of Egypt's warning or "important measures" to com- bat British action in the canal zone.

But he said the warning itself- lssuecl in Cairo last night by Serag El Din Pasha-was a subject for diplomats to deal with.

Egyptian soldiers so far have strictly observed their agreement to remain outside the canal zone. But large forces of them are known to have been at both ends of the canal for months.
