The Royal Canadian Legion,
Branch 170 presented a cheque
for $2,000 to the Tarrys Volunteer
Fire Department to go towards
the purchase of an Air Bag Res-
cue System.

The system will lift a vehicle,
machine or even logs which
weigh up to 73.tons. For anyone
trapped beneath a car, heavy
machinery or even a collapsed
building, the Air Bag Rescue
System could save their life.

Deputy Chief Jim Richards
explained that the bag enables the
volunteer firefighters to slowly
fill the bag with air until it reach-
es the correct height. Then, with
proper cribbing on either side to
hold everything sturdy, a safe
removal is possible.

Tarry's Fire Chief Ralph Mer-
riman thanked the Legion for
their generosity, and said that
they were pleased that the

The Royal Canadian Navy of
the future will contain a well-bal-
anced flexible fleet dedicated to
defending the Sovereignty of the
country as well as carrying out
Civil responsibilities, such as
environmental monitoring and
drug intervention. So what's
going to change?

Throughout the duration of the
Cold War, Canada's navy, which
és tenowned around the world for
its professional seamanship skills,
Specialized in peace keeping mis-
sions which allowed it to rely on
its allies. Relying on allies means
individual naval units could spe-
Cialize in certain areas, and there-
fore each contribute something to
the overall scheme.

But according to Lieutenant-
Commander John Scott Dewar,
the world is a changing place, and
the demise of the Cold War
means an end to recognizing who
your enemies are.

“The demise of the Soviet
Union means the world is much
more unpredictable. As a result,
the Canadian Navy is looking
inwards, and is now Starting to
further develop and rely on its
Own resources,” Dewar said.

Dewar, along with Petty Offi-
cer, First Class Mark Moger, was
in Castlegar last Wednesday to
address Chamber of Commerce
members during a luncheon at the
Fireside Inn. Although the -atten-
dance was quite low, the naval
officers did provide an interesting
lecture to the small but attentive
audience that attended.
