Naval Training Australians Hope For Tax Relief

On The Prairies

Ottawa, Aug. 23.

Canada's prairie-born, prairie-trained sailors who achieved a remarkably good record as seamen in World War II, are now to hunt "landlocked sub. marines."

In order to train men far from the sea, all sorts of devices have to be employed, the latest of which is a mobile anti-submarine training unit for use at inland stations thousands of miles from any real submarine.

The unit 'consists of two vans, control room, plotting tables each towed by a tractor. One and a small scale wheel room. contains the sonar action All these instruments are con
