Rafah
Is

Reglna
or
Riviere
du

For
the
Ca
nadians
here
who
feel
like
a
forgotten
army
Gaza
can
seem
even
more
remote
from
home
than
the
miles
the
climate
and
alien
custom
make
it
Listen
says
a
sweltering
Vancouverlte
serving
with
the
United
Nations
Emergency
Force
Ive
got
friends
at
home
Intelligent
friends
who
dont
even
know
where
the
Gaza
Strip
is
much
less
what
were
doing
here
I
suppose
you
cant
really
blame
them
a
young
Hall
fax
officer
suggests
Ten
years
is
a
long
time
for
an
emergency
to
last
Dut
Ill
admit
you
begin
to
feel
for
gotten
even
at
the
official
level
Can
anybody
remember
when
a
government
minister
has
come
out
here
from
OU
tawa
asks
a
sergeant
from
Calgary
If
somebody
Just
came
to
see
how
the
taxes
are
being
spent
It
would
let
the
outfit
feel
someone
was
paying
attention
The
sentiment
is
echoed
by
others
among
the
800
Cana
dlans
In
the
Gaza
Strip
with
UNEF
a
force
established
in
the
wake
of
the
1956
Suez
battle
to
separate
Israeli
and
Arab
armies
In
this
Medlter
rafiean
enclave
and
along
the
Slnal
frontier
Occasionally
a
soldier
feel
lng
especially
neglected
refers
to
UNEF
as
United
Nations
Emergency
Farce
Dut
all
see
almost
daily
evidence
that
UNDFs
assign
ment
remains
essential
as
long
as
the
world
is
decided
that
something
more
than
UN
resolutions
must
keep
Arabs
and
Israelis
apart
UNEF
regularly
deals
with
violations
of
the
armistice
from
both
sides
Without
the
intervention
of
soldiers
In
blue
berets
hostile
patrols
would
be
more
likely
to
meet
and
resumption
of
warfare
along
the
Gaza
Strip
would
become
Inevitable
In
more
realistic
moments
this
knowledge
helps
sustain
morale
for
some
even
though
Canadian
troops
are
no
longer
directly
Involved
In
policing
the
armistice
A
Canadian
re
connalssance
squadron
that
patrolled
pait
of
the
Sinai
frontier
between
Israel
and
Egypt
was
withdrawn
last
spring
under
a
UNEF
cost
cutting
operation
The
nature
of
the
Canadian
contingents
assignment
prob
ably
does
as
much
to
maintain
morale
as
the
abundant
orga
nized
recreation
and

hobbles
that

Ca
nadlan

On

Invited

once
a

Uranium
Is
receiving
Its
annual
flurry
of
attention
from
investors
Why
has
the
offagaln
on
again
romance
flared
up
at
this
time
Rumors
And
the
hope
that
something
will
happen
to
turn
on
world
demand
for
the
precious
metal
A
nine
man
delegation
from
West
Germany
arrived
In
Can
ada
Tuesday
for
at
twoday
visit
during
which
they
are
lnvestl
gating
the
possibility
of
buying
uranium
from
Canada
Rumors
held
that
the
delega
tlon
were
carrying
an
order
form
but
a
spokesman
for
El
dorado
Mining
and
Refining
the
Crown
corporation
for
mar
ketlng
uranium
emphasized
that
no
Immediate
sales
are
likely
And
besides
such
visits
arent
unusual
Another
rumor
which
helped
stir
this
latest
flash
of
passion
Is
based
on
the
possibility
that
the
United
States
might
lift
Its
embargo
on
imports
of
uranium
from
foreign
producers
by
the
late
lOCOs
or
early
1970s
The
present
embargo
Isnt
due
to
run
out
until
1975
Besides
there
was
a
rumor
that
Denison
Mines
which
has
the
worlds
largest
known
ura
uranium
¬
nium

body
would
split
its
stock
3-for-l

And
thats
the
tone
of
the
market
investors
appear
to
have
grasped
the
fact
that
the
future
for
uranium
Is
a
once
in-a-llfetlme
proposition
Last
year
there
was
a
boom
because
Trance
was
rumored
to
be
in
a
buying
mood
The
talk
was
that
It
would
go
for
as
much
as
700000000
worth
of
uranium
But
the
Canadian
gov
ernments
Insistence
on
assur
ance
that
the
uranium
would
be
reserved
only
for
peaceful
uses
put
the
damper
on
that
The
reason
for
this
years
boom
of
interest
may
not
be
completely
solid
but
Investors
want
to
buy
They
have
plunged
