Acid Test's deep freeze was a special nightmare for supply officers. Gasoline, for transport and collapsible Yukon stoves, had first priority, far ahead of ammunition. Next came rations: each infantryman must tuck in a formidable 5,000 calories of food a day to replace heat lost by his body. Water was another life-or-death commodity. Ski troopers in the desertlike dry cold require between three and five quarts of water daily. While equipment designers have achieved some success in producing insulated canteens and tanks to transport water into the field, the delay caused by a flat tire...

In her former position as Minister of Transport, she pushed through legislation empowering police to give "Breathalyser" tests to drunken-driving suspects.
