CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, March, 10, 1960 John Ambulance Quits Activities ‘After some 20 years of ser- ving the community in first-aid work, the local St. John’s Am- bulance Centre last week voted to suspend activities for a period of time, The length of this * period Is dependent on clarification of the situation which has ariser In part through first-aid courses now being given by Civil De- fence. 1,402 In-Patients At Castlegar District Hospital Last Year The Castlegar hospital trea- ted 1,402 in-patients during 1959 involving 7,988 patient days, hos- pital administrator J. Bainbridge said this week. Mr. Bainbridge said there were 152 live births during the year involving 895 new-born pa- tlent days. There were three still t births, Operations carried out total- ed 463 and there were 1,866 X- ray examinations; of laboratory work were done and there were 1,162 out-patients and 531 stort-stay patients, The hospita} is presently ful- ly staffed and operated at an oc- eupancy of 82 per cent during January. é Smith and McCulloch of Trail have been engaged to pre- pare sketches of a proposed sun ‘room which it is hoped to build 15,136 units | and say the problem arose from the sharp increase In class fees demanded by provin- cial St. John’s headquarters in per while the Civil Defence course costs only the price of the first- aid manual, 75 cents, In the light of such develop- ments, the local centre feels it is useless to attempt to hold classes, since even students must now pay a fee of $1 and those 16 years of age are now classed as adults and have to pay the $3 fee, In addition to the raising of lees, the entire system has been changed, say the executive, with local centres losing all autonomy stituted as part of the current auxiliary police course and sev- eral first aidérs had requested that they be allowed to join. The Civil Defence officer had enquired from headquarters whether the free course would qualify the candidate for advan- ced awards, vouchers, ‘medall- ions, labels, ete, and had been told this was so. Mr, Rivers felt this was con- tradictory to the information he had received, In any case it was ing instruction at the $5 price by St, John’s when the cardidate could get the same thing for 75 cents from Civil Defence. A motion was passed that the St. John’s Ambulance Centre here suspend its activities until these matters are cleared up, and that minutes of the meeting be sent to the provincial headquar- ters, drawing attention to the mere while administration is under the Vancouver headquarters. Local centres will be re- quired to draw up and _ submit annual budgets for approval, and all funds left at the close of the year's business must be turned over to the provincial body. Local members feel this would make it impossible io em- parle on any community project d this year and are also red ing the nurses’ station. ‘Mr. Bainbridge said a $650 donation by the hospital WA will be used to purchase instruments and other equipment, The hospi- tal is trying to make arrange- ments for two members of the office staff to take a course in medical records from the Cana- dian Hospital Association, d Mrs, M. Fs. Higgens was gi- ven leave by the hospital board to attend an “institute” for nur- sing directors to be held in ‘Van- couver March 21-26. and it] 2! is any the local ‘welfare or- ganization would look with fav- or on giving a grant which might end up going to Vancouver in- stead of remaining im the Dis- trict. R. Rivers, honorable secre- tary for the Castlegar centre, felt the Civil Defence to be part- ly at fault for offering the free course without consulting St. John’s, to which F. Richardson and C. H. King, instructors of the Civil Defence classes, replied that the CD course had deen in- concerning the new provincial set-up, : The secretary was asked to write the Vancouver St, John's urging them strongly to send a representative immediately to discuss the situation with the ex- ecutive and members. # further motion was made to close out entirely the bank ac- count of the local St, John's and the amount of dalance, pro- bably less than $20, be given to the hospital earmarked for help- ing out with the individual an- tenna on radios donated last/: year by the centre.

Canadien’ pulp and’ paper producers. are looking ‘for a re- cord 1960, Best «bet: Gross ‘output of $1,600 million, This compares with. about $1,500 million in 1959, which, was slightly. higher than the previous record’ in 1956, It could bring the industry's exports to between $1,100 million and $1,200 million. - The expected 1960 rise of 6 per cent or more is likely to re- flect increased {production ton- nage more than higher price. A few possible increases are rumored but no strong general price uptrend is anticipated in 960, . A 6 per cent’ production jump this year, would’ just about match the rise in 1959, Conditions in ‘the U: S, ~ biggest market for our industry — are similar to those in Cana- da. This ‘r Big Year. for Pulp U.S, predictions ‘are’ for'a re- cord demand for 36 millfon tons of paper and‘ board ‘this. yéar. *, This would be some'6, per cent above 1959. which: topped 1958 by roughly. 10 per cent, This strong uptrend can’t easily be translated into terms of more profit for the big Cana- dian industry, Though a 6 per cent rise in production would ‘be. expected to increase profit, the extent would depend upon the U.S. — \Cana- dian exchange rate, ‘as. well as the effect of expected higher costs, especially’ for labor, .
