A HEAP OF RUBBLE marks the victorious end of the City Council's battle to have
the mail box at Rawlins' Cross removed,   "A  traffic  hazard",  said  City  Fathers.
"Historic old relic great convenience to the public", said Canada Post Office.
Apparently, however, the representatives of the Dominion have given way to civic
insistence. Someone attacked the old mail box with what seems to be more eagerness than caution, and any chance of its being preserved as an historic site (or
monument) has been removed forever. The small taxi stand, also subject of
Municipal displeasure, remains -at the intersection, at least for the present.

About The Same
As This Year"
OTTAWA - CP - Officials don't foresee any major
cuts in defence spending in
the 1956-57 fiscal year,
"There seems to be so doubt
that spending next year will bo
about the same as this year/' on*
authority said Thursday.' Ther*
might ba some minor reductions
but personnel and equipment costi
are expected to vary little -from
present levels.
The Canadian situation Is different from that in Britain and the
United States, where Mg defence
cuts now are being considered -for
next year.
Britain and the U. S. would bo
able to reduce defence expend-
'itures by cutting down on armed
forces manpower. There ,is no
•plan here to reduce Canadian
forces from their present, level of
about 120,000. Both Britain and the
U. S. have compulsory military
service while Canada relies on a
volunteer force.
MORE THAN LAST YEAH
Defense spending in Canada thll
year is running ahead of 1954*55.
By the end of August, the defence
department had spent $680,000,000
out of a total appropriation of
$1,908,000,000.
Actually, the amount spent in
the 1954-55 fiscal year, which
ended last March 31, came to
$1,665,963,960 or more than $242,-
000,000 short of the estimate.
Officials said they expect 1955-56
actual spending to \n much closer
lo tiie estimate of $1,775,000,000:
in other words, the short-fall will
be much smaller lhan last year
and expenditures may even be
ffrcalcr lhan in 1954-55.
MUST NOT RELAX
Roth Dafence Minister Campney
and External Affairs Minister
Pearson havc been saying recently
lhat the West must nol relax its
Ruard despite the apparent new
friendly atmosphere 'emanat*
in*-; from Moscow.
Officials (said. the government
probably will experience increasing difficulty h-trying to persuade
thc Canadian public that high, do-
fence expenditures are necessary.
They emphasized that the armed-
forces have reached a size where
it requires in the neighborhood of
$1,700,000,000 a year to keep them
trained and well equipped.
