Canada to Build Ship To Explore Arctic Waters

The flagship of the hydrographlc fleet will be a 385-foot. diesel ves- rel. designed to withstand the pres- rure of Arctic ice and with s draft 5; 15 feet to enable it to chart mallow waters.

It will have ii. flight deck and hangar admishign for two helicop- ms, and will be the mother ship for six diesel survey launches. The crew, plus survey woifkers. will rumber 102.

It will carry new electronic de- was for fixing the ship's position. operating with two portable shore beacons with a range of 300 miles.

It will be the first (laughed and built for hydro- graphic service operations based on the east coast since the old Aradia was launched in England in 1913.

Deficits Remain W Despite Efforts 0f U. S. Gov'i

By HAROLD MORRISON (‘anadian Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON. (CF) — The El- r\PllllD\Vel‘ administration is faced with anguished cries that a. suc- i‘Ps5l0|'\ oi buclgctary deficits will Iran‘ the country to ruin. But try as policy-makers will to_ erase them. the deficits continue.

The excess of government spend- ing over tax receipts has been .-sumaied at 33.300.000.000 for the li5(‘al year ending June 30 next, nu officials say the actual red- nl: balance may rise to $4.000.-

The rise will depend largely on American farmers. Under govern- nsnt price-support programs. they have borrowed about $980.tXl0.000 on last year's wheat. The govern- me-nt-guaranteed bank loans be- come due May 1 and farmers can either pay the loans and get back their wheat or let the government pay and take the wheat.

The budgetary experts feel that most farmers will take the latter course. causing another run on the federal treasury and a pue-up nf more wheat in govemment,stor- agr-

“W:-‘re concerned with this def- im all right." said one authority. “but we don't think we are on the brink of disaster as some have suggested."

HERBERT HOOVER.‘ CRITIC

Most outspoken 4'l'iLlC has been former President Herbert Hoover who warned that the U. 8. may be courting economic disaster un-

the pressing needs of defence and industry. | Defence planners want safe sea

lanes in the Arctic that will en-

able them to reduce their reliance

on air transport. And industrial-I ists seeking to open up the mineral wealth of the North want good parts and sale sea lanes for the future.

NEED SAFE ROUTES

The importance of safe routes is seen in the cost of marine insur- ance. If safe routes can be found. such as the onr. to the Hudson bay port of Churchill. insurance rates will go down and. perhaps. further economic development“ of the North.

In the last few years the hydro- graphic service has been busy with special _1obs—fiiiding safe harbor: for titanium at Havre St. Pierre on the St. Lawrence and for iron ore st Sept Isles and along the Labrador coast.

While looking for harbor facili- ties in the southwest corner of Un- gave. bay last year. hydrographer D'Arcy Charles and his party found the highest tides in the world. s. 545$-foot rise which beats the Bay of Fundy tides by some two feet.

On the Pacific coast. hydrogra- phers have been charting safe routes for ships which will carry aluminum ore to the Kitimat pro- Ject.

This year surveys will be made for it nickel ore port at Rankin inlet on the northwest shore of fltldéon bay. below Chesterfield in- e .

The service took over one of in biggest jobs with the entry of Newfoundland into Confederation. Charts of the coast of Newfound- land's Labrador were largely ob- solete, and Mr. Smith secs 5 year's work there for his ocean searchers.

OTTAWA. (CP)—-A social Com- mons-Benate committee studying three controversial segments of Canada’: criminal law plans enough work to keep members busy for months. perhaps years. The committee of lo senators and

Main reason behind the spurt is a rumor current in British banking circles that the government in- tends shortly to raise the present ceiling limit of $2.82 to the pound.

~ Tiinnday. May fl. ‘I1

TORONTO (CP) Caliadian women would like to see good taste in clothes combined with a moderate price tag, Madame H, E. Vauielet of Montreal told Canada's siorekeepers Tuesday.

The average woman operating within a budget doesn't expect all the qualities in s low-priced gar- ment which she would get in s more expensive one. she said. But she does want it to look attractive while it lasts.

Madame Vautelet. ).\rf‘Sld(‘l'il of the Canadian Association of Con- sumers, made her comment in an address to the Canadian Re- tail Federation and added:

“I would like to see (‘am-idian styles and textiles with more em- phasis nn smart line and appear- ance snd less ‘high fashion’. less slavish following of the United States. They might even impose themselves across the border."

Wartime earnings created a young inexperienced buyer who went in for frills and extremes.

The CAC. Madame Vautslet stated, doesn’t believe in merely a blind bringing-down-of-prices. because benefits obtained at the expense of legitimate profits of other groups. ultimately perialiue the consumer.

On the other hand. any price tag that is too high simply takes money which the customer could spend on something else.
