With By DAVE McINTOSH OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's armed forces in 1962 acquired more of the tools for nuclear school out for Christmas vacations and warfare but the year passed without a government decision on whether to acquire nuclear warheads. During the year the RCAF ac- quired two nuclear carriers and began taking delivery of an- other. The Bomarc anti-aircraft mis- sile, which can be armed only with a nuclear warhead, was in. stalled on 56 launching pads at North Bay, Ont., and La Ma- caza, Que., but remained with- out warheads. RCAF air defence command was re-equipped with the Ameri- can Voodoo jet interceptor which can carry the Genie nu- clear rocket, and the RCAF air division in Europe began taking delivery of the CF-104 low-level jet bomber, designed to carry a nuclear bomb. Four of the nine fighter squadrons in Canada were dis- banded, the remaining five be- ing re-equipped with 66 Voodoos, of which two were lost in crashes. AUSTERITY HITS ARMY At year's end, four of the 12 squadrons in the air division overseas and its radar control unit were disbanded, The re- maining eight squadrons, which have flown Sabre jet day fight- a recent cold spell, coupled with the fresh snowfall, chil- dren by the hundreds have been heading for area bays and ponds for skating on some ers for several years, are to have their new CF-104s by sum- mer, 1963.

WHITBY PERSONALS The summer austerity pro- gram resulted in an $86,000,000 cut in the 1962-63 defence bud- get, reducing it to $1,590,000,000. Christmas holiday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Welks, 129 Lupin drive, were Mr. and Mrs. William Mr. and Mrs. R. R. S, Wright and children, Cindy, Lou, Susan, Robby and Felicia spent the Christmas holidays in Orillia Impact of the cut fell mainly on the army. During the 1961 Berlin crisis an 11,000-man in- crease in army strength to 59, oye oes crisis, Air defence command went into an increased state of readiness--although defence 21!- thorities said this was purely academic in view of the lack of nuclear armament. In the Cuba crisis, Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker said Canada in recent years hac~ ° sponsibly by not contributing to extension of the nuclear family He had said earlier in the year that the question of acqui- sition of nuclear weapons was "hypothetical" as long as disarmament negotiations re- mained "to the fore." In late November, the East- West disarmament conference resumed at Geneva with re- newed hope for at least a ban on further nuclear vesting. NAVY GETS 'COPTERS In this context, a government decision in 1963 on nuclear weapons appeared no closer than it did in 1962 though sev- eral persons in close touch with the situation said the decision now boiled down to "when," not "whether." In their opinion, a decision will more or less have to be made by mid-1963 when the overseas air division is re- equipped because Canada com- mitted itself to a nuclear role in Europe in 1959 and NATO will expect this country live up to th dertaki Still No Choice Made On Nuclear Warheads The re - equipment programs were the main advances in the services. A major one for the navy was a start on the fitting of helicop- ter hangers and landing plat- forms on seven St. Laurent class destroyers. For the army, 20 prototypes of the Bobcat arm- ored personne: carrier are to be delivered in January or Febru- ary. The RCAF, with an assist from the navy, began installa- tion of an underwater submarine alarm system in the Atlantic. MOVE HEADQUARTERS The RCAF's air defence com- mand headquarters at year's end was preparing to move from St. Huvert, Que., to its new underground combat. post near North Bay, site of the only SAGE (semi-automatic ground environment) electronic control centre in Canada. \ The armed forces continued to make a major contribution to United Nations operations in Egypt and The Congo. They took on a small extra UN job, due to end in May, 1963, in Dutch New Guinea which was being turned over to Indonesian administration. In November, Canada prom- ised military aid to India. The first assistance was six Dakota transport planes, flown to India by the RCAF. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, December 27,1962 § Border Crossing Traffic Record Set WINDSOR, (CP)--Windsor. is headed for a record year in the movement of vehicular traffic across its international border at Detroit. By tbe end of November, 5,940,457 cars, buses and trucks had crossed the international border by way of the Ambas- sador Bridge and the Windsor- Detroit tunnel. The figure represents vehicles crossing the border. in both di- rections, When the average traffic flow of 430,000 crossings for the month of December is added, more than 6,370,000 vehicles will have made the crossings this year, 95,000 mor- year. than last Havelock Man Dies Following Crash TORONTO (CP)--David John- ston, 57, of Havelock, Ont., died in hospital Wednesday of in- juries suffered in a head-on col- lision near Havelock on High- way 7 Dec. 11.

DIAL 725-1212 Castro Offer For Prisoners MEXICO CITY (AP) -- A group of Cuban exiles said Wed- nesday Castro agents have of- fered to trade six prominent political prisoners for $5,000,000 worth of food. A group calling itself the Syn- dicate of Free Newsmen of Cuba in Exile said in a state- ment that agents of Premier Fidel Castro got in touch with Cuban exiles here to bargain for the six. The statement said that among them are Hubert Matos, tried by a Cuban court for trea- son in 1959 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The syndicate said Castro's success in the Bay of Pigs pris- oner exchange encouraged him to try other such ventures. It called the idea repugnant.

(AP)--Two University of Wisconsin re- searchers say they have dis- covered a chemical substance in the urine of a mentally re- tarded child not found in nor- mal children. The discovery was announced Wednesday by Dr. Harry Wais- man and Dr. Theo Corritsen, of the department of pediatrics, during a long-term study fi- nanced in part by a $225,000 grant from the Kennedy Foun- dation. Finding the chemical, Wais- man said, "is part of the con- tinual process to find how some of these children are different. It is part of our continuing at- tempt to find the possible basis for mental retardation." TREASURER'S SALE OF LAND FOR TAXES Town of Whitby, Ontario.
