Cook and Lorne Stewart yesterday paid their annual tribute to th e memory of their comrades who served in the African campaign. The brief but lrnpressive cere- mony took place at the South African War memorial on Queen Square where Rev. E.S. Evans in the course of his remarks said "it is with a deep sense of grati- tude and thanks to Almighty God that we meet today to pay our tri- bute to those who answered th e call to serve some fifty-seven years ago. Some made the supreme sac- rifice-others were spared to re- turn to us and happily three of the South African veterans are with us here today. To them we pay a special tribute. Another of that gallant band who was with us last year. has entered into his rest-may he rest in peace." "Of special significance," Mr. Evans lontinued, "Is the remem- brance also of General Baden-

In his concluding prayer Mr. Evans said, "May the significance of this service be felt and realised by all and in our Memorial may we remember that the sacrifices of the past have given to us all. the best in our to-day, even as our sacrifices will give a brighter and better tomorrow."

The western section of the line -between James Bay and the Peace River district of Alberta -went into operation on b s' '

New Year's Day but authorities say ex-zcrable weather has de- layed completion of the eastern sector from James Bay to the Labrador coast.

Low cloud ceilings have halted helicopter operations. The egg- beaters lift the equipment from the main marshalling yards at Great Whale River on the south- east shore of Hudson Bay and Koch Lake in north central Que- bet: to the radar sites on misty mountain tops.

Meanwhile. officials disclosed that operation of the 3.000-mile line in its first year will cost about 318,000,000. This amount is incl ” s' in the defence depart- ment estimates which have al- ready been submitted to Parlia- ment.

Expect Mid-Canada Radar In Operation During April

The electronic fence. extending roughly along the 55th parallel. will be manned by some sooo Canadian civilians under RCAF direction. They have been trained on a test line in the Montreal- Ottawa area.

The Mid-Canada line is only one segment of the North American air defence system.

Farther north. at the 70th paral- lel and -- " from G: ' ” to the Aleutian Islands, is the DEW (Distant Early Warning) radar line, being built by the United States at a cost of 0400.- 000,000. It is scheduled to go into operation July 1.

in Southern Canada is the Pine- trec radar system which controls operations of RCAF and U.S. Air Force let interceptora. Down the nanks of the continent are "gap- filler" radar stations on land. Texas towers some 100 miles out to sea and radar picket ships and planes.

Canada has entirely financed the Mid-Canada line. Original cost estimate was Sl70.000.000. This later had to be increased by 330000.000. Construction re- qulred transportation of more than 200,000 tons of equipment.

OTTAWA (CP) - Federal tax collections rose sharply in Janu- ary. boosting the budgetary sur- plus by Sl75.l90.000 in the month and increasing it to s535.szo.ooo for the first 10 months of the fiscal year.

The 10-month total was triple the 3179,507.000 in the previous April-January period, and tended to strengthen speculation that the government will end the year March 31 with a substantial sur- plus. perhaps of more than 5300,- 000000

The flgures were included in the regular monthly treasury state- ment lssued by Finance Minister Harris Friday. Officials said there would be no further monthly state- ments before the budget. indicat- ing that Mr. Harris likely will in- troduce it towards the end of next month. There has been spec- ulation he may bring it down either March 19 or March 26. The 10-month surplus of 3536.- 820.000 compares with Mr. Har- ris' initial forecast of a 8113.000.- 000 surplus for the whole year. Bills tend to pile up toward the year-end. chipping away at the surplus. The government also is likely to apply the 8100.000.000 cost of the Canada Council to this year's accounts. reductn the sur- plus stlll further. But even so, it appears likely that Mr. Harris will have a sub- stantial balance, perhaps about three times the amount he orig- inally forecast. it is understood the surplus is being used to pars the national debt which now is lbw! 1.000.000.000 or so. COLLECTIONS UP Both . venues and expenditures increase in January. but tax col- lections raced ahead. Revenues rose to 3523.D4.000. a gain of 374380.000 over the previous year increasing the 10-month total by C62'I.000.000 to 04.182.833.000. Personal income tax collect- ions increased in the month to Sl59.035.000 from 8l.'itl.7i0.000 a year ago and in the 10 months to 31.103.349.000 from 01.000.071.000. The take on co ration incomes edged up to 14,031,000 from 091350.000 in January and to st,- 035.704.000 from 0Iil.885.000 in the 10 months. Import duties rose to 050.530,-
