days, It. was originally known
as First Crossing, since it was
there that the CPR t
crossed the Columbia River,
Donald was the first divisional
polnt of the rallway in that part
of British Columbla and it was a.
proud community. It boasted a
modern commercial area, many.
fine homes and an Anglican
church called St. Peter's that
was bullt in 1887,

History records that St.
Peter's was built through the
efforts. of Father Pat—other-
wise known as the Rev. Henry
Irwin, It was consecrated on
Feb, 24, 1889, by Bishop
Shillitoe. Parishioners were
proud of the 600-pound silver-
toned bell which was presented
by Baroness Burdett-Coutts, an
early western Canadian bene-
factress,

The commerce of many
Canadian communities was al-
tered by the vagaries of rail-
waymen in those early days and
Donald was no exception. Ten
‘years alter the dedication of St,
Peter's Church, it was decided
to change the rallway divisional
point from Donald to Revel-
stoke, also known as Second
Crossing.

‘The CPR was very fair. It
agreed to move homes and
belongings of Donald residents
to. the new centre. The Old
Fellows Home was dismantled
and moved to Revelstoke. Ar-
Tangements were also made to
move St. Peter's; it was to
serve as a chancel for the
inadequate church at Revel-
stoke.

But when the movers
arrived, they were dismayed to
discover that the church had
vanished into thin air!

Now one of the merchants
of Donald was Rufus Kimpton,
He married his wife Celina in
St. Peter's, their two'sons were
christened there and their first
child buried there. Celina loved

Winter Months Can Bring Heavy Snow
Loads; Roof Becomes Main. Focal Point

Enough advice has: been
shouted from the rooftops, now
{t's time to talk about the roof
itself. What can you do to
protect the roof of your house,
perhaps even prolong its life?

‘The roof is probably the
most important part of a
building, ‘says Consumer Con-
tact. In addition to protecting
the building against bad wea-

“ther, it must,ensure: the com-.

Mort:+of the coccupants and
protect their goods, And that's
no mean feat! é

In Canada roofs have to
carry heavy snow loads. Fresh-
ly fallen snow is usually loose
and fluffy. Soon after it lands,
the snow crystals are changed
into small irregularly shaped
grains which ‘pack together
more easily. A period of mild
weather and rain falling into
the snow makes it sodden and
very heavy and increases its
density even further,”

‘The accumulation of snow
ona roof naturally varies from
one winter to the next, but it
also depends to a great extent
‘on the climate, orientation of
the dwelling-place, its exposure
to wind and on the form and
type of, its roof.

Roofs situated below an
adjacent higher roof are par-

SNOW REMOVAL
W-A-R-N-I-N-G

Notice is hereby given that all Motor. Vehicles ‘and Trailers must be off the
streets during snow removal or so parked that the main roadway is clear. for

snow plowing.

Bylaws Nos. 72, 314 and 337 provide for impounding of all Vehicles on the
street during snow plowing — at the owner's expense,

In the business areas, all cars must be off the street after 12 midnight to.

In residential areas please move your vehicles when snow plow is in

ticularly susceptible to heavy
drift loads caused by the wind.
The same accumulations occur
on awnings, canopies and. bal,
conies.

Flat roofs with projections
often accumulate snow’in the
form of cone-shaped “dunes”
which can reach the height of
the projection on the building,
but ordinarily, .the weight of
these drifts is less than on low.
roofs adjacent to higher, roofs!

Pointed or sloping roofs,
exposed to the wind, produce
poorly balanced loads that are
often higher. than those on the
ground.

_In general, building stand-.
ards have been developed so as
to determine the weight a roof
can bear and to reduce to a
minimum the accident hazards
its collapse could provoke.

Snow melts due to radia-
tion from the sun and heat loss
from poorly insulated buildings.

loss of heat can be
reduced if the amount :of in-
sulatfon material in the attic
is increased. In addition to
prevent condensation and frost
formation in the attic which will
melt in hot days and drip onto
your ceiling there should be
adequate ventilation between
the insulation which is lying on
the top of the ceiling and the
roof.

‘There should be at least a
‘one square foot opening for
every 300 square feet of
insulated ceiling. These open-
ings, or vents, ean be placed on
the roof, or in‘ the gables, or
under the eaves or in all these
places. Make sure they are
placed in, such a way as to
ensure that there is cross
ventilation in the attic and that

- no obstacle stops the air from

getting through.

While ‘examining the roof
ventilation see how much insul-
ation you have, In moderately
cold regions, there should be
four inches of soft insulation; in
colder areas, six inches (make
inquiries about this through the
local building service of the
Central Mortgage and Housing
Corporation or your municipal
building inspector and also ask
about vapour barriers).

With regard to snow on

your roof you can call on expert
snow removal services but
because of the demand these
are sometimes difficult to ob-
tain, Cheek the amount of snow
on the roof of your. house
frequently. Removal can then
be carried out regularly.

To remove ice, proceed
very carefully in order not to
damage the roof, Use a shovel
or the blunt end of an axe ona
mild‘day if possible whén'the
ice’ will come off more casily
and with less effort on your
part.

Eavestroughs are places
where miniature dams. form
and allow ice or water to
accumulate. These. ice dams
also occur when water melting
on the roof over the heated part
of the house runs down onto the
cold: eaves and refreczes.

The same happens again

-when the: slope of the roof
formsa valley which retains the
water behind: the dam and
allows it to infiltrate under the
shingles and drip into. the
house, Do not wait for this to
happen. Anticipate the forma
tion of these ice barriers.

Remove the leaves which
have become stuck in the
eavestroughs during the fall
and which prevent the water
from going on its way. If you
have ice dams forming due to
melting water refreezing at the
eaves ask an expert for help,
There are a number of solu-
tions.

One of these solutions and
a way to save yourself work is
to install a heated electric wire
‘along the edge of the roof; this
will) melt. the. icp or melt
channels through the ice so the
dammed up water can drain
away.
