having served an eight-year ap-

tion in so i e ,of the woolier

trigued to come upon an illus

of 3000 •,,riles 'of highways
which start in the Middle. East
' and end, the one in. Vietnam,
1lte other in Malaysia, all organ-

Obviously the specification c)f
such' an undertaking is Tow
while in many instances' it
means establishing• continuity
by means of bridges, missnng
iinlcs and tunnels. The stand-
ard can be ganged From a rough
estimate of $88,000 per mile.
(Cam•pares with estimat es for
roads in t)he - Nor`th West Ter-
ritorie of Canada of $50,000
per mile,) Only 16''q of Iranian
road is metalled; but that coun-.
ti y is upending" $93 million oyet

budget and is -_being. g.i's.te..d ley.

cion_ has, bitten off. more than
a contiuous ribbon of high-
way, for it is also. faced with
ensuring better customs and
pa.=:port facilities, easier Ihealth
rc zulations, gas stations, road
maps and motels, or should we
say caravanserai because the
pictorial road signs still differ-
entiate between. the auto route
and that .for camels, mules,

The reins report, says: "Twenty
p 'p 'Y
years ago the Afglhan Govern-
ment !began the awesome task
of zigzagging the road from
Kabul, through the deep gorges
towards, the Khyber Pass." Ac-
tually „it was forty years ago
that L.. C. B. Deed,' a Royal
Engineer officer, was sent to
Kabul to select a route on
which the Germans worked
after World, War I. Deed had
just completed 50 miles of road
fit .far- .military trucks(. in un-
mapped country to supply a
new Brigade post at Razmak
from the Tochi valley. It was
built with `local labour,' most
of it hostile Wazirs sand Ma�h-
suds, through some of the worst'
tangis-gorges, and `hills' up to
8000 feet, of that barren North
Wes_!t Fr_o_ ntier of Pakistan.
