Maneuvers Will
Start Soon
WAINWRIGHT. Alta. (/P) — A
curtain raiser for next month’s
joint Canadian-American sub-arc- j
tic maneuvers takes place here to
morrow when a mass parachute
jump will be staged under severe
winter conditions.
The paratroopers will use sleds. |
snowshoes, and special winterized
weapons and equipment dropped
from the air. The training jump,
by about 100 members ol the air*
borne Princess Patricia’s Canadian
light infantry, will be their last
before the joint Canadian-Ameri
can “exercise Sweet Briar, to be
held north of Whitehorse, Yukon,
and in Alaska.
A 66-vehicle Royal Canadian
Air Force convoy left Calgary yes
terday for “points north”. It is
part of the Canadian military
strength going into the far north
maneuvers. It consists of crash
trucks, ambulances, staff cars,
snowmobiles, refueling tenders,
aircraft towing trucks and ma
chine lorries, parka-clad men man
them.
Meanwhile, United States per
sonnel arrived in Calgary en route
to Edmonton and the north. The
vanguard consisted of 30 U. S. sol
diers, part of a 22-vehicle, 58-man
convoy of the U. S. Fifth Army
from Camp Carson, near Colorado 1
Springs, Colo.
Only 12 of the 22 U. S. trucks
made Calgary Friday. The remain
der were held up by motor trouble
a soldier said.
OTTAWA, (/P)—Group Capt. P. \
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — Inching
along at a cost of more than $100
a foot, dynamite crews hope to re
new soon the job of building a key
link in the proposed Seward-An
chorage highway.
Three contracting companies
expect to start work again as soon
as weather permits on a 12.2-mile
stretch of solid granite when a
highway must be blasted and a
railway roadbed shifted along the
tide-racked waters of Turnagain
Arm.
The Turnagain Arm project,
scheduled to be completed in the
summer of 1951, will provide the
final link in the Seward-Anchor
age highway and also a new loca
tion for the Alaska Railroad route
along the shores of the Inlet. The
highway also taps the Kenai pe
ninsula homestead and agricul
tural area.
A. Gilchrist of the R. C. A. F., has
been named as over-all air com
mander of the joint Canadian
American winter military maneu
vers n$xt month in the Yukon and
Alaska.
Gilchrist, 40, will have eight
fighter and transport squadrons
and other air elements under his
command for an exercise designed
to check ability to meet an enemy
raid. It will start in the White
horse, Yukon, region and move up
the Alaska Highway into Alaska
for the final blows.
Known as exercise Sweetbriar,
it will involve an estimated 5,000
men, including airborne infantry
battalions from both countries and
supporting troops. Hundreds of
Canadian troops already have
moved into Wainwrigh: Camp,
Alta., for winter training before
moving farther north.
