LETTER TO THE
EDITOR

Editor,

I wish to clarify the position
taken by myself before the Castle-
gar Board of Commisioners two
weeks ago regarding the regulat-
ion and operation of Castlegar's
inhalator service,

a strong complaint only after be-
coming painfully aware of the
serious-shortcoming involved in
tHe present setup. On February
14, a telephone call was recieved
from Blueberry Creek requesting
the ambulance to transport a
patient to the Kootenay Lake
General Hospital at Nelson. After
picking him up and driving as
jfar as Castlegar, it became. ap-
parent that he was in great need
of oxygen and would require in-
halator service.

of educational leadership.

Alb this, . however, may, be
negated by other actions, irre-
gardless of how well intended.
For instance, for school board
members not ours. too often, but
all trustees, like all teachers. are
judged by the actions of a few)
to make’ careless and public
statements, is unwise in the ex-
fren. is a

one of
the local firemen and asked for
permission to ‘use the inhalator.
In spite of the fact that I was
fully qualified to operate the in-
halator through St. John’s Ambu-
lance Training, this gentleman
insisted that a fireman must ac-
company the patient to Nelson.
After I had reluctantly agreed
to this, the fireman proceeded to

finding disfavor among European countries whose borders recently
harbored: a’ large number of sympathizers, For instance, the Paris
Communist newspaper, Ce Soir, is going out of business, losing cir-
culation fast, The only other Red newspaper in Paris has a circula-

for this patient.

I explained that being an emer-
gency, I did not feel the sanction
of a Doctor was necessary. How-
ever the fireman in question re-

sion, further time was lost in get-

at least fifteen critical minutes
passed before the inhalator ser-
vice could be administered to the
sick man.

I am of the opinion that this
incident indicates a serious lack
of public responsibility on the
part of the fireman involved as
well as a pressing need to alter
the present regulation of the in-
halator service in cases of seriéus
