Returning to Ottawa after a 14- month tour of duty recording earthquakes at lonely Resolute Bay. Bremner said he was making his way back to the station after a 15-mile ski jaunt during the summer months when he came upon the cairn. a mile inland from the head of Assistance Bay.

Bremner returned later with Constable Ed Boone of the R.C.M. p, and Flying Officer i-Lo. Unt- hoff of the R..C.A.!'. They pried open the lead-sealed outer cannin- ter and found a smaller can in- side. In the inner can was a single sheet of yellowing paper folded in a light cotton bag.

It contained this message. print- ed with an old hand press:

"Left Aug. 4th, 1851. by a party in search of the Franklin expedi- tion from the Felix. Capt. Sir John Ross. lying on the south shore Comwaliia Island. in miles west of Cape Hotham with .'H.M.S. Lady I-Eanklln and Sophia, Capt. Penny and Stuart.

Political Status Of Sudan Remains liery unsettled

By TOM STONI

xx-rAru'oUM. Nov. 20--(AP)-- The political status of the Sudan today is as unsettled as the hot. sand that swirls across the broad desert on the outskirts of Khar- toum.

The disturbance was created last month when Egypt abrogated the 1809 agreement providing for Anglo-Egyptian rule of the Sudan and tore up its 1936 treaty per- mitting British troops in the Canal Zone. Egypt's King Farouk was reclaimed king of the Sudan. Sudanese opinion is divided and confused. Some Sudanese back Egypt's action, others oppose it.

The Sudan is a 1.000.000-Squire mile area along the Upper Nile. Itc northern border adjacent to Egypt is an area of hot desert sands. The South Sudan, border- ing on the Belgian Congo. is a lush. tropical area.

Britain continues to run the country .as if the 1809 agreement were still in effect. There are only a few hundred British ad- ministrators in key spots in this land of 7.500.000 natives.

The Egyptians have not followed through in trying to take over.the Sudan.

His religious rival, Sir Sayed All El Mirghani Pasha, leader; of the Khatmia sect. maintains: I am I religious leader and have nothing to do with politics". but observers contend he holds a wide influence over the political thinking of his followers.

War Veterans

Allowance Urged

(YITAWA. Nov. '.l-)-(CP)- Im- provements in the war veterans allowance act were urged in the Commons yesterday by Capt. Clair C-illis (CCF -Cape Breton South) as a means of helping Can- ada's needy veterans.

At the some time, he pressed the government to announce an im- mediate increase in the allowance. which goes to veterans who are hard up or pranatureiy aged as I result of war service.

He read an advertisement from a Mhritlme paper, the Sydney- Post-Record, asking for. a stove and bed clothing for a needy vet- eran. It had been inserted by the local branch of the Canadian leg- ion.

He suggested the act be am- ended so that it would not be nec- essary for an advertisement of that type to appear anywhere in Can- ada. He was sure the Veterans De- partment did not want to see such ads

The recipient of such an allow- ance was a veteran whose health was wrecked by war service. The set should be amended to give greater administrative flexibility to the departments welfare offic- SP8.

The government also should re- move the means test from the al- lowance payments. while receiv- ing the allowances, veterans should be allowed to earn higher casual earnings. When retired and receiv- ing the allowance. the veterans should be encouraged to do some casual work.

He said that the act doe; not permit veterans in industry whose health breaks down to draw from. welfare funds set up by their em- ployers. The purpose of the funds, to which the employees contrib- uted was to provide a payment of 38 or 39 a week for workers who fall iii. But the veterans. if they wanted the war veterans allow- ance. could not draw from a. fund to which they had contributed for years. That should be remedied.

A change also should be made to regulations governing payment of the allowance to Imperial vet- erans with 20 years residence and their widows. Often. a veteran died just short of the 20-year residence requirements and his widow lost the allowance. There should he more flexibility in those regulat- ions.

A larger allowance should be paid to homeless veterans living in institutions. They received only 68 a month. which allowed them to buy only few comforts.

Thames iiouschoat. Cuts Living Cost

By Muriel Narraway 1 (Canadian Press Staff Write-ri MAIDENHEAD. England. Nov.

in-(OP)-For six smart girls from Ontario. a 40-foot: motor- cruiser moored on the Thames representsga solution to the high cost of living in London.

The Canadians. all in their early 20's. arrived in Britain two months ago. brimful of wonder- lust. They found living accom- modation so expensive that they looked around for something cheaper. Result: A houseboat with six bunks, cooking facilities. and it weekly rent of just under 56. split six ways.

"So far we've had a simply wonderful time." said plump. jolly Donalda McPhec of Mount; For- est. 0nt., "with plenty of good weather for sunning on deck." With an eye to business. how- ever. the giris' first thought. was in find jobs in this red-brick Berkshire market town. set in beautiful country 25 miles west of London. Now all are working in in local factory. helping to make linings for automobile bearings. at an average wage nt 525 weekly. ”It's a wonderful way of get- ting to know people", said blonde. Toronto-born Beverly Britt. with her film-star grin and a New York polish to her Canadian act-enl.

First thing that struck the entcrprising travellers was the difference in living standards.

They thought it wonderful to get a full meal at a good hotel for the equivalent of about 51.50---um
