Like many other parents,
Melody was concerned over the
safety standards of some toys,
especially those containing small
pieces which can easily be swal-

“I was most impressed with the
engineering of the Discovery Toy
products. There are specific toys
for specific ages, which are not

safe, but contain colour sequenc-

the changes at Central Taxi,

New owner and manager Dale

providing dependable, reliable
drivers.

“We're here to give complete
‘service, and that’s exactly what
:we want to do,” he said.

A new attitude...

Dale Callow, who moved to Castlegar from Kamloops

says he plans to continue making both major and minor
changes to the business, including upgrading and
expanding the fleet of cars. The biggest change to the
business however, will be attitude.

of which have air conditioning.

“We're really going to clean up
the cars,” he said.

The Celgar mill expansion pro-
ject has provided an economic
shot in the arm for Central Taxi,
which is taking full advantage by
establishing a direct line between

the mill site and the dispatcher ,

for the workers.

“This way we can ensure

service.”

Callow, who moved to the
Kootenays from Kamloops, says
that other changes, both minor and
major, are also being contemplat-
ed, although he wouldn't elaborate

on details,

The biggest change for Central
Taxi however, is the change in
attitude.

“We'd like to apologize for fait-
ing to provide top-notch service in
the past. Customers are the Priogi-
ty and we're going to ensure they
Teceive the attention they
deserve,” he said.

Central Taxi carries a full time
staff of 15 people, and when the
season gets busier, more are
added.
