LOWER DUTY EXEMPTIONS
WOULD NOT HURT CANADA
OTTAWA — Officials ex
pressed doubt Monday that Presi
dent Kennedy’s proposal to lower
the duty exemption on goods pur
chased by American tourists
abroad will greatly affect Canada.
“I don’t think it will hurt us
at all,” said one authority.
He explained American tour
ists visiting Canada very seldom
come to buy things — “what can
. they buy here that they cannot
buy more cheaply at home?”

Paratroopers Need
More Calories in
The Far North
It takes 12,000 pounds of food
and 10 per cent more calories per
day to keep a paratrooper active
in the far north than in the deep
south.
And in the six tons of chow,
each trooper eats 4,700 calories in
his daily six pound food ration.
These sidelights to the Army’s
exercise “’Willow Freeze” winter
maneuver were brought out last
week by food experts of the 1st
Airborne Battle Group, 187th In
fantry.
Back at Fort Bragg the Stra
tegic Army Corps troopers under
go continuous physical training to
keep in shape for any situation
anywhere in the world. Even in
the deep south they receive an ex
tra ration of food because of their
extra physical requirements.
“But up here in this cold it
takes a little more effort and a
lot more work for the body to
keep up with the cold weather,”
according to Capt. Hill J. Dover.
The big picture of feeding the
2,000 paratroopers from Fort
Bragg during their stay in Alaska
shows a highly complex system.
It starts with an Army-wide mas
ter menu prepared months in ad
vance.
Included on the bill of fare in
the field will be five-in-one ra
tions (canned) for breakfast, C
rations (canned) for dinner and
A-rations (regular hot chow) for
supper.
Each man will also be allotted
seven half-pints of milk per day
during the unit’s maneuvering in
the Gulkana-Paxon exercise area.
With all this extra chow and
calorie intake you’d think the men
would put on extra weight, but
they don’t. Maybe t’s because
they are always on die move.
