No one was injured. John Deere employees to Regina? About 35 employees of the John Deere Ltd. warehouse operation in Edmonton may be asked to move to Regina under a company centralization plan. John Graflund, president of the farm equipment company, said from the Hamilton, head office decision on the transfer will come within six' weeks. He said the company is centralizing Western Canada farm equipment warehousing at Regina, where a new distribution plant is under construction.

Manitoba employees of the company would also be affected by a transfer decision. He said the reasons for centralization are "the changing needs of our customers," the fact Regina is close to the centre of the company market in the west, and freight costs. Transfer of Edmonton personnel to Regina would be the latest move by the company in a major consolidation of operations. Earlier, staff operations were centralized at Hamilton head office. task in an age when both East and West have clearly recognized that neither could hope to emerge victorious from any nuclear conflict.

Inside Iceland itself, there has always been a section of opinion on both the extreme left and the extreme r.ght opposing the existence of the base, and the present liberal-leftist coalition government has pledged to have the U.S. forces out by 1975. Right-wing nationalists feel that the presence of a large number of Americans so close to the capital of Reykjavik only 30 miles away would have a corrosive effect on culture and national identity The Icelandic left fought the base on the grounds that it would make the country of 208,000 people a prime target in any war between East and West. Today the People's Alliance party, which is largely Communist but has a strong nationalist tinge, uses both arguments. U.S.

officials have been conscious of the negative feelings a large American presence could arouse in a small nation and U.S. military personnel are rarely seen in Reykjavik. They live largely on the base which has extensive recreational facilities. The purpose of thj base, according to the 1951 agreement, was "to preserve peace and security in the North Atlantic Treaty Area having regard to the fact that the people of Iceland cannot themselves adequately secure their own defences."

"They left about 10 days ago," said building supervisor Steve Bendiak. "They started going down to the river valley and coming back later each day. Eventually they didn't come back." Rick Sullivan, the man attacked while working on the roof of the Legislative Building, says he hasn't been bothered since they left. Iceland has no armed forces, despite its strategic position half way between northern Europe and North America, and this led to its occupation by British and later U.S. forces during the Second World War to prevent the island's falling into German hands.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill noted at the time: "Whoever possesses Iceland holds a pistol firmly pointed at England, America and Canada." The base developed from the operation by the U.S. in the immediate post-war years of the Keflavik International Airport, which serves Reykjavik and now is a stopover for trans-Atlantic passenger jets. One arrested in connection with break-in Police have arrested one man and are looking for another in connection with a break-in at an east end home Wednesday night. Timothy David McClelland, 23, of 10902 149th St. has been charged with break and entry and possession of a switchblade.

He was to appear in provincial court to day. Police are seeking another 23-year-old man in connection with the incident. Police say two men broke into a house at 9316 79th St. about 11 p.m. School trustee leaving Calgary CALGARY (CP) The Calgary Public School Board will have a new chairman this fall when Deloy Sallen-back moves to Vernon, B.C.

Mr. Sallenback said he plans to leave Calgary and vacate chairmanship of the board in two months. His departure will leave the board with six trustees. Trustees said their terms will not expire until October, 1974, and the vacancy will probably stand. Trustee Harald Gunderson said it is "pretty expensive" to hold a byelection.

".7 KEFLAVIK, Iceland (Reu-ter) From this gale-swept volcanic peninsula on the tip of Iceland, States air patrols to miantain round-the-" -clock surveillance on the "movements of Soviet submar- jncs in the strategic north Atlantic. Some 3,200 men of the U.S. and Air Force man the Kefiavik base, composing the Iceland defence force established under the 1951 signed by the two at the height of the 'fid war between East and 7'Vest. But today as tension be- tween the Wester and Com- munist camps continues to ease there is growing feeling among many strategists that Abases like Ke'lavik have a declining role in the security of the North Atlantic 'irireaty Organization. 'fn the first years of its existence, the base was a key 'Mink in a chain set up by NATO to contain what was seen in the Wes as the Com-; munist threat.

However, some Western defence experts feel that even this is no longer such a vital Everyone who can should grow a beard! says the winner of Wednesday's beard growing contest. "It's fun," bearded Terry Luciw said in an interview after the first day of beard judging in Petticoat Pass. Mr.

Luciw. 27, of 110 Greengrove Sherwood Park said he had worked on his growth since last Jan. 1. But he's had lets of practice. This is the sixth Chilcoot beard he's grown.

He placed second in the contest in 1969 and 1971 and Thursday there's another judging of Chilcoot beards a full beard trimmed close at the sideburns and trimmed full around the mouth and jaw. The first and second place winners of Wednesday's contest will compete with the finalists of Thursday's contest. The winners of the five categories of beards will then compete for the $500 prize money on July 29. The money and prizes are provided by Export Kings. In Wednesday's contest Moe Wiederspiel of St.

Albert came second. Mr. Luciw, a credit manager with South Park Motors said his friends have stopped being surprised about his beard, "thsy're used to it by now." When asked what advice he would give to would-be beard Mr. Luciw replied, "If they have a good growth they certainly should grow one. It's a lot of fun." His beard will probably be shaved off after the contest, because then the Klondike spirit -is gone, Mr.

Luciw said. He added, however, that he might start thinking about beards again next January. The beard contest was one of the first events to take place at Petticoat Pass, located at 101A Avenue from 100th Street to 101st Street. A pie-eating contest for youngsters aged 12 to 16 was scheduled but failed to take place. Project organizers, however, promised the pie-eating contest would be held daily, except Sunday, at 4 p.m.

The beard contests will also be held daily, except Sunday, at 5 p.m. And the Pass will be active all during Klondike Days. Breakfast, including pancakes, coffee, bacon or sausage will be served daily from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the flap jack shack.

The meal costs $1 and is more filling than that Charlie Chaplin's famous Klondike dinner of a boiled boot. The breakfast is put on by the Anglo-Hellenic Educational and Progressive Association and proceeds will help pay the group's community work. On Thursday a 30-minute stage show of Klondike entertainment, and including Edmonton's premier Klondike dance group, Shirl's Girls, will perform between 11:45 a.m. and 12:15 a.m. Following th girls, the Winner Terry Luciw hairiest chest in the west may be revealed when the audience will be asked to compete against the champion.

The prize, $10 and a trophy. The audience can also take part in other events around this time. If the people miss the first noon show they can catch the second between 1 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. when Klondike Kate and Ross LaGrandeur, the 12-year-old banjo player perform.

Ian Filby will be the master of ceremonies. Taped honky-tonk music will be piped around the grounds as participants of the Klondike spirit try the rides, games cf chance, bumpo cars, and the newest attraction, horseshoe pits. The pie-eating contest is on at 4 p.m. and at 4:30 there's a stage show by the Shirley Adams Dancers, Ross La-Grandeur and Spokane's Silver Spurs Dance group. Also on the show are vocalists Barbara Molineux and Pauline LaBelle and Scottish entertainer Johnny Forest.

Your Sister's Reputation, a local seven-piece group specializing i Klondike-style music will perform from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. And from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. members of the Edmonton and District Square Dancers Association will swing up a storm and will ask the audience to join in.
