BUILDERS SUPPLY Serving the Community for the Past 10 Years — Join Service Clubs; Hel in Athletics Local RCMP Personnel Involved in Community By Lois Hashes News Editor Everyone is familiar with the uniform of the RCMP. Luckily for communities such as ours, because we have what is called a rural out of training at Regina; highway patrollman Cst. C. F. Jorundson, who arrived from Kimberley, and Cst. B. C. Dick, formerly of the Fernie detach- ment. Th t has under- many of our residents can say they know personally the men who wear those uniforms, It may be. because the policeman in question is your neighbor or a fellow service club member. Or he might be an officer who has become a great pal to your children through his civic mindedness and love of sports that sees him active as the umpire of minor baseball or the coach of a team in the Castlegar and District Minor Hockey Association, The small fry of our twin communities, and of Robson, Blueberry, Qotischenia and other centres, often get to know the local members of the RCMP detachment before the adults, One of the reasons is because highway patrolman Cst. Don Arndt has taken time to visit many of the neighbor- hood schools to speak to the children and demonstrate some of the equipment contained in his patrol car. His patrol car has become “Charlie” to these children and is a friend to them. Those attending the -pan- cake breakfast held earlier this summer at. the Arrow Boat Club will have met Cst. Butch Van Acker, who made safety inspections of the varied crafts as part of the local observance of National Safe Boating Week. Commanding officer of the detachment here is Sgt. Stan Partridge with Cpl. Pete Church as second-in-command. During the summer there have been several changes amongst the constables. In mid-July, Cst.- Gary Kretzul left for duties at Creston, with Cst. J. P. Shirley joining the detachment here. Also relatively new are Cst. G. E. Williams, who came directly gone still more changes. Cst. Bruce Waite, who has taken up duties at Nakusp, has been replaced by Cst. D. L. Dan- chuck, formerly of the Vanc- ouver subdivision drug section, and Cst, Len Jarvis, who has joined the Prince Rupert detachment. Besides those officers and Cet. L. P. Bauer and Cat. J. D. McVey. Assisting the members of the detachment are seven auxiliary policemen, They are: Jim Bankert, John Kennedy, Peter Prystupa, Bill Rempel, Dave Silvester, Chuck Sim- mons and Joe Porsnuk. Out-ranked in number but highly valued by all members of the detachment is Mrs. C. (Edie) Simmons who carries the title of stenographer. In reality, however, she's everybody's Girl Friday and a pleasant Officerin-Charge of the Castlegar Detachment, RCMP, is Sgt. Stan Partridge Over 9 Million Square Miles of Area Royal Canadian Mounted Police Jurisdiction Is Most Extensive of Any Police in the World The Royal Canadian d Police, its hundredth year of service, has duties usually performed by incial police. In addition, many muni- lities, cities and towns have public relations the most area of ie of any single police already other staff members include over the teleph counter. or at the History of the RCMP Band The RCMP Band hasa long history. The earliest mention of such a group was in 1874 during the great March West, but it was another two years before steps were taken to set up the first organized voluntary band at Swan River, Manitoba. Instruments were hauled in by dog team from Winnipeg and in the years that followed, and as additional outposts of law and order were established in the Canadian west, other bands were formed. The first official RCMP Band was aithorized in 1938. It was inaugurated in November of that year and comprised members from all across Canada. In addition to their musical activities, these men performed active police duties. Famous RCMP Musical Ride Is Known Around the World The RCMP Musical Ride, a permanent branch of that Force, has been around almost as long as the Force itself. It helps keep the old romantic images associated with the RCMP alive. The Ride is believed to have sprung from the lancer regiments of Britain. Brought to Canada by cavalrymen who joined the North West Mounted Police (the original name of the RCMP), it was first performed in this country in 1876. However, it was not put on public display until 1904. Thundering hooves, Painfings and Calendar Illustrate RCMP’s History Historic and heroic mo- ments in the first-100 years of the RCMP are subjects of copyright paintings illustrating a souvenir calendar produced by the City of Regina, “home of the Mounties,” and the Regina - Chamber of Commerce. The 15 paintings and several drawings in. the cal- endar are the work of Canadian artist Robert Banks, The calendar which runs from December 1972 to Janu- ary 1974, amounts in effect to a short illustrated history of the Force. Fourteen of the paint- ings are accompanied by 150-200 words of relevant text and by supplementary line drawings. The back cover painting shows 13 uniforms associated with the Force from 1874 to the present day. The Great March West in 1874 and the graduation of a contemporary class at the Regina training depot are the subjects of the first and last calendar paintings. Other paintings depict the RCMP vessel, “St. Roch,” during its history-making voy- ages through the Northwest Passage, the Force's first patrol car (1917) and airplane (1937) and the work of the RCMP’s scientific crime detection lab- oratories, The Force’s work during the Klondike Gold Rush, the ill-fated Dawson patrol, the Great Bear Lake Patrol in 1915 and the famous Musical Ride were also chosen as subjects for Mr. Banks’ series of paintings. The Centennial Calendar is distributed by retail stationers and book ‘stores throughout Canada. scarlet-coated riders and the flash of | steel-tipped lances present a breathtaking spec- tacle of precision horsemanship. Once horses played an important role in the police work of the RCMP. Today, they play no part at all in the day-to-day life of most Mount- ies, and horsemanship has been dropped from the training program for recruits. The Musical Ride is per- formed by a mounted troop of 32 members of the RCMP drawn from detachments all across Canada for a two-year tour of duty. The detachment has its headquarters in Ottawa and is commanded by Inspector P. J. C. Morin. The horses, black, force in the world. Its beat is 3,256 miles from Atlantic to Pacific and 3,000 miles from Canada’s southern border to the North Pole. ~ Celebrations from coast to coast of this vast territory mark the Centennial, graced by the presence in Regina, site of the RCMP training school, of Her Majesty the Queen: Known first as the North West Mounted Police, with a mandate to carry law and the Queen's Peace into the Far West, the Force keeps alive today all, the colorful and inspiring traditions of the past while using the most modern methods of law enforcement. The North West. Mounted Police came into being in 1873, when a report to the federal government described the Far West as being “without law, . order, or security for life or property.” Its duties included sup- - pression of the whiskey traffic, calming unrest among the Indians who had been suffering the foss of possessions to unscrupulous traders, and stamping out lawlessness. The first three troops of 50 men each were recruited in the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario, Arecruiting notice said “Candi- dates must be active, able- bodied -men of thoroughly sound constitution and exemp- lary character. They should be able to ride well, and to read and write either the English or French | three-quarter are raised on the Force's own ranch at P Ont., near Payment was $1 a day for Ottawa. Men and horses. train together for four months before any. engagements are under- taken. Wheeling through intri- cate manoeuvres without a mis-step requires considerable skill from both horse and rider. The Ride concludes with the rousing “Charge” by all 32 riders, spurred on by the sound of the trumpet. Like the Ride itself, dress and equipment are deeply rooted in cavalry and Force tradition. Riders, wear the Review Order of Dress cansist- ing of scarlet tunic, broad- brimmed, felt hat (a military version of the popular stetson that cowboys wear), long, brown Strathcona riding boots, and blue-black breeches with a jaunty. yellow cavalry stripe down the side. Today's recruitment is nation-wide. The man who joins the Force is a career man who looks forward to pensionable service, with opportunities for promotion based on merit. All officers of the Force are commissioned from the ranks. Exciting incidents have been seized upon by movie- makers, but everyday‘ police life has little of glamor. Much of the Mountie’s work is devoted quietly to the prevention of crime. The RCMP enforces fed- eral statutes and gives frequent assistance to and on behalf of various departments of the Canadian Government. In all provinces, except Ontario and Quebec, the Force has an agreement to carry out the of Castlegar and Town of Kinnaird JOHN LANDIS, MAYOR For 100 Years of Service to the People of Canada COLIN MADDOCKS, MAYOR On behalf of the Town Councils and the Citizens of Castlegar and Kinnaird an agreement with the Force to police their areas. In the Northwest Territories and in the Yukon there is no other police force than the RCMP. Members of the Force have served Canada in three wars. In the South African war, the Lord Strathcona’s horse brigade drew its officers from the commissioned ranks of the NWMP, and 245 members of the Force served with the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles. In the 1914-1918 war, two cavalry squadrons from the Force saw service in France and Siberia. In the Second World War the RCMP engaged in counter. espionage work with such good success that the authorities were able to ann that subversive activities had been almost wholly disrupted by the speedy arrest of hostile ele- ments.
