CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Oct. 31, 1968 's Fire posed for the camera in the winter of 1954 in front of the com- bination village office and fire hall which was located on Pine St. across from West's Store where Eremenko’s Shoe Store now stands. The building was first of all a joint school bus garage-fire hall, but when the school bus garage was moved the village converted that half of the building into its first ground-floor level office. In the back row chief Ed Lewis, Pete Koochin are firemen Vic Jenks, Bob Maddocks, Jim Killough, Ernie Newiman and Oliver Dube. In the second row can be seen deputy fire chief George Carr, Fred Moroso, Fred Bartsoff, captain Joe Schnell, Fred Fomenoff, Les Atkinson, fire the front row are engineer Jim Kelly, captain Sam Dower, |? ¥red Stefoniuk and Walter Classen, At a_ recent mecting of the Castlegar Toastmasters Club the subject introduced S| for table topics by Les York and Jack Taylor.
