Richardson Writes
On Controversy

Dear Mr, Editor:

Since Chairman Sylvest.was
requested by the Fire Chief to re-
lleve me of my dutics as Fire Com-
missioner, I should like, through
the medium of your paper, to place
a few facts before the

informed that there has been no
planned procedure in case of fire
Posted or circulated to staff and
employees, With oxygen piped into
wards, there is a need for regula-
tions requiring closing of lines, A
Ppamphict has been Prepared but

of Castlegar,

The recommendations \publish-
ed in the Castlegar News were
Presented to the fire chief for dis-
cussion, They were to be, in fact,
‘kicked around”. The resulting rea-
ction has been to “kick out” the
Fire Commissioner! These recom-
mendations were suggested to me
by a former fire chief with many
years experience,’ and were con-
sidered to be suitable for a volun-
teer group who had pride in being
in a position of such civic respon-
siblity, a and with a sincere wish to

maintain a. high standard of pro-
ficiency in fire fighting skills.

At the request: of. Council to
discuss' these recommendations
with the Fire Chief, I attended a
meeting and was insulted by Ex-
Commissioner Carr and asked to
“get the hell out” by Fire Chief
Lewis, I left as requested.

Point No, 14 was written in in
view. of the chlorine gas being
shipped through Castlegar. I have
been informed that this fs approx-
imately 5 to 6 cars weekly. In view
of two recent accidents involving
chlorine, one being in Ontario,. it
seemed to me to be of vital im-
Portance. This is not.a matter to
be lightly treated, and one wond-
ers, view of the attitude of the
Fire Chief, if he is even aware that
these tank cars go through the
village,

After submitting these recom-
mendations, I enquired into Hos-
Pital fire safety practices and was

The West Kootenay ‘Area’ Girl

recently at Robson, in the Recrea-

The sessions started at 10,30
a.m, with colors and guider'’s own,
with Mrs, H, Hyson, Robson giving
the address, and Mrs, M, Flynn,
Robson presiding. at -the piano.
‘Mrs, J, Dalziel, district commission-

legates and: wished them all ia
very ‘Good Day’.

Item 4 brought forth violent pro-
tests from some most unexpected
quarters,

With- regard to the proposed
budget presented by Fire Chief Le-
wis requesting that a-minimum of
$9000.00 be. allocated to the opera.
tion of the Fire Department which
consists of 20 men including the
Fire Chief, I have done some in-
vestigating - regarding budgets of
municipalities of comparative size
in. this. area of. municipal affairs,
For example, Kinnaird has 30 train-
ed volunteer firemen and a bud-
get of approximately $3000.00. Sta-
tistics of villages of similar size in-
dicate that Castlegar Fire Depart-
ment budget to be of proportion.
Many fire departments also main-
tain and operate a 24 hour ambu-
lance service with their budgets. I
am not opposed to a reasonable
budget with a well trained fire
department,

I would like to emphasize that

Miss M. R, Kirkman of Deer
Park, presented -a report on the

so to contribute to the general

Penses of the whole group.

ested group of citizens would be
very welcome. The.area good decd
for 1962 and: 1963 was reported by
Mrs. Hyson. Money was collected
from all packs and companies, re-
presenting all faiths, and sent to a
mission. school in N. Rhodesia, for

inal divisions with basic; and ad-
vanced training, including the in-
ternational aspect of the Guiding
Program. Day. camp. training had
also been held with: good results,
There are now two camp advisors,
and one prospective in the ‘area. -

Handicraft was presented by
Miss Kirkman, who reported that
appropriate table.’ displays had

sions, with directions given out and
sources for material recommend-

ed, The use of nature objects for
handicraft was stressed.’ For pub-
licity, each district was requested,
as in the past to take care of their
own. Appreciation was’ expressed
for the splendid coverage and co-
operation of radio stations, papers
and stores, especially ‘through the
month. of February.

Following this a delicious
luncheon was served to the dele-
gates at the Community Church
hall. The tables were gaily decor-
ated with Brown owls, toadstools
and pixies, with thunderbirds and
dogwood place cards adding to the
festive air.

During the lunch hour present.
