The Poseidon, named for the sea pod of Greek mythology, was described by high administration officials Monday as a wholly new weapon by virtue of its doubled pnyload and ao curacy.

And a "remarkable" array of devices will be turned out to help missiles penetrate enemy defense. A former Canadian Mounliej made a plea Monday night for a nroitfli- f1ftu r( rAm nrvA aiwl ideas between the United States and Canada. Speaking before the Oil City Dinner Club, Sydney R. Montague said the U.S. has too long ignored the potential benefits of better developed relations with Canada in many areas.

Montague was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for 12 years, serving much of the time in the rugged Yukon. He attributed the Mounties' effectiveness to the absence of political interference in their work. Montague noted many facts about Canada. Among them were; Half Million Skiers Used Wasatch Forest WASHINGTON (UPD More than half a million skiers swooshed down the slopes of the Wasatch National Forest in Utah and Wyoming last year, making it the most popular of the 154 national forests for winter sports. The U.S.

Department of Agriculture's Forest Service said 587,200 skiers tried their skills at Wasatch resorts. Second most popular was the tiny Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont, which tallied up 445,000 winter recreation visits It ranks fourth in international trade and has the fourth most powerful air force. The St. Lawrence River handles more shipping than any river in the world. Canada's economy is sound and progressive.

Montague dismissed the current independence movement of some French-speaking Canadians as nonsense perpetrated by a militant, ignorant minority. The former Mountie did not limit his talk to Canadian topics, lie said the U.S. also needs to improve its relations with Mexico. He urged development of a north-south flow of commerce through the U.S. that would benefit all of North America.

Along a similar line, Montague stressed the need for more Americans who can speak foreign languages. He said citizens are failing in their duty to their country and to efforts for world peace if they continue to think that English is the only language they need bother with. Montague now lives in Los Angeles and frequently travels to speak on his Canadian experiences. Every summer he guides a group of boys on a trip through northwestern Canada. hit targets accurately and send erty to be annexed must be contiguous with or within 200 feet of the city limits, and no exceptions are provided for in the ordi nance.
