Not only am I happy to oblige, but 4 was fortunate to receive several items of historical interest from Sherrel Koreen who has the hunting instincts of a bird dog One of her finds is an exceptionally well written newspaper account of, to the best of our knowledge, the only air disaster on the Castlegar to Penticton run — and an important facet of our local trans. portation history It appears in the Dec. 15, 1983, edition’ of Western People under the byline of Richard W Cooper, but refers to an event involving local citizens almost exactly 30 years earlier. The Ora Saunders who appears in the story, for example is related to Brick Saunders, a long time resident of Castlegar and sister-in-law to his wife. The story has been edited because of space res. trictions. The story begins: In Vancouver the day began under dull, overcast skiés with gusty winds and a cold drizzle falling. It was Dec. 22, 1950, and the passengers who were boarding the Canadian Pacific Airlines DC3 John Charters Reflections and recollections were looking forward to better weather in the Okanagan. : Within minutes of take-off, the work horse of the air, as the DC3 had been named by wartime pilots, was forced to return to the runway, when the landing gear failed to retract. After a brief delay, they again set out and all appeared to be functioning normally As they gained altitude to pass the coastal range, severe ice conditions were noted on the wings. Again it was back to Vancouver until the de-icing equipment could be corrected When they were on the ground, the airline offered refunds to those who did not wish to make a third try. Only a few rushed off to the office for refunds. Fifteen hardy souls were prepared to remain aboard, feeling that the third time was bound to be lucky. Ora Blackmer, one of the passengers, describes her feeling at the time. “I was sure that after two failures they would put us on another aircraft. However, when boarding ws announced, we were again directed to wh~* I had already named ‘‘the doomed plane.’’ My ~pirits sagged, but as a nurse I'd become used to unusual events."" Everything appeared normal as they thundered down the runway and lifted rapidly toward the distant, towering mountains. At 1:30 p.m., Capt Moore was in contact with Princeton Airport, about 70 miles from Penticton. They were cruising at 11,000 feet and ready to start their descent for a landing in Penticton Last radio contact came only a couple minutes esidents involved in 1950s crash past 1:30 RCAF were advised that the aircraft was missing at 2:50 p.m. The aircraft was presumed to be using P as it neared Pentictor Meanwhile, on board the aircraft, the captain has announced that they would be touching down in Penticton within 10 minutes. Almost immediately after-this-announcement~they~ dropped into heavy cloud cover and tops of trees began to flash past, just under the belly of the dircraft Both engines roared to full throttle in a desper- ate attempt to lift the falling plane. For fleeting, breathless seconds it appeared that it might gain sufficient altitude and miss the manacing trees and brooding Okanagan Mountain directly ahead. Then, almost as if the great effort were too much, it plunged downward Dorothy (Butler) Furness of Summerland said, ““Fhe world seemed to end and tree after tree fell as we ploughed on swathing a road through the forest Like a dying monster the engines roared on as a huge tree sheared off a wing. We were hurled ‘about the cabin like autumn leaves, then with a thunderous roar the cockpit. section ploughed into the trees and rocks of Okanagan Mountain.”’ The aircraft lay crumpled and torn like a giant bird shot down in flight Outside a few complaints of bruises there was nothing of a major concern and certainly no broken bones. By this time, Blackmer had come forward and told Franco that she was a nurse and prepared to help in anyway possible. True to her training, Franco saw-to-the safety-of-her passengers white Blackmer struggled to the forward section and the Captain Moore and his co-pilot Leo Doucette Beyond the bulkhead; she found Captain Moore dead and Doucette in cfitical condition. For the next 24 hours she and Franco did everything possible to save the life of Doucette. By late afternoon both Penticton and the airline knew that they had_a downed aircraft. Before early winter darkness had covered the land, an overflight by a search and rescue team had spotted the wreckage. The pilot of the search aircraft spotted three fires laid out in position of a huge triangle, a known distress signal Between 9 and 10 p.m. the next day two RCAF paramedics were dropped along with medicine and food Stapleton, with the aid of Franco and Blackmer, worked desperately to save Doucette's life. But the struggle ended shortly after and Doucette became the second fatality A few hours later all passengers and cabin crew had been moved to available transportation and then brought to the welcoming people of Penticton Wilson speculates that the reason the aircraft was flying so low before the crash was a faulty altimeter, which tells the pilot the altitude at which he is flying. However there is no way of knowing if this was the case Wilson praised the pilots actions during the crash: “The |pilot promptly cut all power, greatly reducing the chance of an explosion or fire. Without this final act of Captain Moore, I feel that there would not have been any survivors.’ Today, the rushing body of CPA flight CF-CUF remains embedded on Okanagan Mountain at about the 4,500-foot level Subsequent columns wi4wclude a story of the Castlegar Rait Station by a well known local historial writer and a set of trivia questions prepared by Jim Ford. Watch for them crew, Pulpit & Pew By Pastor ED NEUFELD Castlegar Evangelical Free Church One thing that turns people off about Christianity is when Christians do not practise what they preach. Most of us are aware of the scan- dals that surrounded two well-known TV evangelists. These two men pro- claimed themselves to be Bible-be- lieving Christians, yet in reality, their lives were complete lies The natural reaction of many is then-to~ judge all Christians to be hypocrites. Now such an accusation is an obvious injustice in light of every Christian whose lifestyle is honest and upright To deal with this, Christians must strive to. demonstrate, with God's help, one essential characteristics in- tegrity. According to the New Web- ster’s Dictionary integrity is defined as ‘‘unimpaired principles; honesty, soundness the quality of being’ whole and undivided. In simpler terms, integrity is living out what is believed and professed. The moral failings of a minority (in this case these two fallen Televangelists), should not shipwreck the testimony of the faithful majority As Christians, we must boldly dem: onstrate to this unbelieving and skeptical world that we have inte moral small grity Let's face it, the first Bible people will ever read is the lifestyle of a Christian. Therefore, Christians must demonstrate their. integrity in_ the way’ they speak, act, and socially carry themselves in this community In studying the Bible, Christians are challenged to “'walk as Jesus did” (1. John 2:6). Furthermore, Christians are to be seen as “blame. less and pure, children of God, without fault in a crooked and de praved ~ generation, in which they shine like stars in the universe (Phil.2:15). As Christians, we cer tainly have something to live up to One way Christians can practically develop integrity is by attending a Bible-believing church. Here within as church setting. Christians can be challenged by some sound Biblical teaching on proper Christian living As Christians, we must be lovingly concerned how out their personal faith in Jesus. In an individualistic society, _ where everyone does their own thing, the Church of Jesus Christ, must have a sense! of. community. With this sense of community there exists mutual ac countability among Christians We need to realize as well, that the newspaper, radio, and TV newscasts will never seek out Christians who model integrity in their lives. Hence, the lives we live_as Christians will-be an unrecognized and hidden lifestyle But this should never hinder us from living a life that reflects our Christian beliefs. Who knows, in a small but important way we can touch the lives of those around us with the radical difference faith in Jesus makes in our own lives other believers live Tree farms in limbo VANCOUVER (CP) — The prov government said it will not hear any requests from the forest industry to create more tree farm licences until it-has heard from the public where the incial cussed “Before we more government's more tree farm licences will be dis. proceed hearings on the two applications, and before we schedule hearings on the Our Action Ad Phone Number is 365-2212 plans for PENTECOSTAL NEW LIFE ASSEMBLY 602-7th Street Presents a ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION Castlegar. jobson with the Last—fall,_the—g poned a public hearing into an appli cation from Fletcher Challenge Can- ada to create a. tree farm around Mackenzie in central British licence saidig Pr fy -T00-more- we have received; T waiit to hear the views-of British Columbians," Parker _A Nicht wi’ Burns Columbia On Wednesday, it postponed a public hearing into an application from Canadian Pacific Forest Prod ucts of Montreal to increase the size of its tree-farm licence on Vancouver Island. he will hold eight public information in February and March customers.
