CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, January 16,1975

In 1984 a 16-year-old boy In
Castlegar heard that one of the
local sawmills in the area
needed someone for the day to
pick out slabs from the green:
chain. He applied for the job
and got it.

and stood in line with 20 other
men who were also looking for
work, He had done a good job
the day before so the foreman
picked him again,

He soon became a per-
manent employee and was paid

statement he kept dated April
6, 1935, shows he worked 37
hours during the month of
March, He recelved $9.25 for
his effort.

Today John Makaroff is 66
years old and works In the same
sawmill where he started 40
years ago, The owners of the
mill have since changed, as
have John's wages. Can-Cel’s
predecessor, Columbla Cellu-
tose, bought the sawmill from
William Waldle & Sons, Ltd. in
1953, With 40 years of senior-
ity, he has the distinction of
having worked for the company
the longest time.

The work was not steady
In the old days, “I can remem-
ber as a boy having the
foreman come up to me and
saying that this is a June, July
and August mill: ‘You'd better
go home, John, and look after
the spuds!’ We were off work
ston ‘six months a year,” John
sald,

The days John spent away
from the mill were not spent
idly. “During'layofts I'd beach-
comb and use the wood I'd find
to heat my home and cook-
stove,” he said,”

‘There was no unemploy-
ment insurance then soI had to
know how to survive. I had a

water wheel. It was the first
one on the river, Soon ten more
sprung up in the area.”

John married in 1986,
claiming he waited a long time
for the right girl to come along,
Her name is Dolly and thoy
havetwo boys. “One of my boys
was born on Declaration Day (a
Doukhobor holiday) and one on
Christmas Day. I consider them
two presents for me.”

Other than these carly
short work years, John has not
missed much time during his 40
years with the company. He
remembers an operation that
kept him away for awhite but
he does not plan on missing
much time during the next nine
years.

About Winter Motoring

it isa Matter of Saving Fuel and Driving Safely

Two major points men- ~
tioned in connection with the
fuel crunch can also be factors
in-safe winter motoring, says
the B.C, Automobile Associa
ton.

_ The BCAA notes, first,”
that driving more slowly to
conserve gas also is a wise
preeaution when travelling on
fey roads or during snowfalls,

‘The auto club also points
out that keeping gas tanks as
full as possible during the
winter months will not only
insure against the threat of
running low on fuel, but will
help prevent molsture, which
would eventually form ice, from
condensing in the gas line.

Other safe winter driving
tips offered by the BCAA are:

Do not lower the pressure.
in snow tires. Thia reduces
control and does not, increase

+ traction.

To get out of deep snow,
atart with an easy foot on the
accelerator and slip the clutch
into second gear. For automatic
transmissions, use: the normal
drive range. Do not spin the
wheels—traction is greatest
just before the wheels spin. If
they should spin, try rocking
the car forward and backward.
Use sand or traction mats if you
dig wheels into a pocket. Keep
front wheels pointed straight
ahead whenever possible; once
under way, keep the car
moving. When approaching a
Dill, stay far enough behind the

vehicle ahead so you won't have
to slow down or stop. On
upgrades, use 8 little extra
speed at the nottom of the hill
for extra momentum. If the
wheels spin, release accelerator
slowly. When at the crest ofa
hill, reduce apeed to a minimum
before starting down.

‘Slow down on icy surfaces
before reaching curves (o as-
sure safe steering. When enter-
ing a curve, turn the steering
wheel gradually and no further
than necessary.

Be especially alert when
the temperature rises to 32
degrees, A treacherous, invisl-
ble slick sheet of ice may form,
and the stopping distance on Ice
at this temperature is twice as
greal as at zero, Also, don't
ignore the danger of ice if
streets are clear, Look ahead
for icy patches in shaded areas
such as beneath overpasses or
‘on bridges.

In short, “winterize” your
driving as well as your car, the
BCAA says.
