WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8,1978, PAGE 7 &riaiWjl)ter's H istorical, XA0 Wh itbyI otd Parachute drops into' wooded areas were practiced in the Orono forest - some drops being macle from less than one thousand feet. The General Motors plant in Oshawa and DIL's facilities in Ajax were penetrated and tagged by a- gents acting out their roles as saboteurs. On occasion the, agents' success in penetrating "secure" intallations caused somne embarrassment to the authorities. A Jagoslavý, who sp'oke only a few words of English, was- deposited on the Queen car near'Spadia.. After askîingfor directions from a neighbouring barber shop he successfully penetra ted the naval yards and walked out with somle highy secret communications manuals. Throughout the strees was on realisr and in training on the Camp only live amunition was, used. These exercises observed'by Col. Smith of Oshawa were described by hlm as the "ýmost realistic and blood-curdling exercises that 1 have ever seen outside a theatre ýof war". Fatalities at the Camp were remarkable few, though there were a number of casualties. One prominent South 'American killed through 'a training error posed aproblem to the Camp authorities. Burial at the Union Cemetery in Oshawa was out of the, questfion- since identification of a neutral in a country that was at war would bé a serious breach'of security. Likewise some explanation.would subsequently be required when this' South American was missed in bis native land. A solution was corne upon by deciding to re- turn the body te the countryof origin. To preserve secjirity the body was sewn into a diplomatic bag and sent'along the normal ceurier route te New York and thence back to South America.; continued next week ...
