Others were caught -- though none was wounded -- in occasional ex changes of gunfire between UN ; and Congolese forces Such incidents occurred in Leopoldville, in then Commu nist - controlled Stanleyville, in the Congo River port of Matadi and elsewhere DIDN'T FIGHT BACK The Canadians did not fight back, remaining cool in the hope that non-retaliation would calm the Congolese. French speaking officers of the Roval 22nd Regiment worked quietly and patiently with high-ran officers of the ANC--Congole National Army--to bring about , gradual contro! of the troops The system worked.

The remainder include staff officers on the military and air opera- tions staffs of UN headquarters OPERATE 24 HOURS The signal unit provides radio - teletype communications between Leopoldville headquar- ters and seven regional points up to 950 miles away in the vast interior, These are at Luala- bourg in central Kasai, Bukavu and Kindu in the eastern prov- ince of Kivu, Stanleyville in northeastern Oriental, Albert- ville, Kamina and Elizabethville in Katanga In an average day about 450 *sSages pass among these Circuits are in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except when thunder- storms interfere with signals. In addition a small staff of bilingual signallers operate a 200 - line telephone switchboard at UN headquarters When the unit arrived it was quartered in the country - club ing of the Athenee Royal, a boarding school in the best part of Leopoldville. The spacious grounds include a swimming 001, now closed for repairs de- ayed by lack of parts, tennis gymnasium and a soc- ( s. OWDE a QUARTERS ( adians were forced t September by the Congo ernment which said it eded the space for students From what were the best pos- sible accommodations in Leo- oldville. the troops moved to Some rooms on the seventh floor have been closed because they are infested with rats. The building's two elevators broke down long before the Ca- nadians moved in and haven't been repaired for lack of parts. It's a long climb for the troops who live on the top floors. The kitchens, run by Canadian army cooks, have been set up in what used to be the building's ground-floor garage. The men eat under a big canvas mar- quee on the grounds in front of the building. LITTLE ENTERTAINMENT Since the Athenee Royal swimming pool was closed, there is little to occupy the troops' leisure time except nightly open air movies at the side of the building or a trip downtown to the sidewalk cafes. "It's an unreal kind of life for them," said one officer who is concerned about the effect of the hum-drum life on morale. Most of the troops simply count the days until their six- month tour in The Congo is over. However, despite the con- ditions, slightly more than 25 per cent of them volunteer for an additional! three or six months. Most of the volunteers are sig nallers looking forward to an assignment to one of the seven detachments, manned by one bilingual officer and nine sig- nals corps men. There, living conditions in villas are easier and, possibly, happier. Men selected for detachments are picked, basically, on their record for doing their job well and staying out of scrapes URGE TREATMENT VANCOUVER (CP)--A ..$500.- was so named by its pioneers)their first church service.
