The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 170 presented a cheque for $2,000 to the Tarrys Volunteer Fire Department to go towards the purchase of an Air Bag Res- cue System.

The system will lift a vehicle, machine or even logs which weigh up to 73.tons. For anyone trapped beneath a car, heavy machinery or even a collapsed building, the Air Bag Rescue System could save their life.

Deputy Chief Jim Richards explained that the bag enables the volunteer firefighters to slowly fill the bag with air until it reach- es the correct height. Then, with proper cribbing on either side to hold everything sturdy, a safe removal is possible.

Tarry's Fire Chief Ralph Mer- riman thanked the Legion for their generosity, and said that they were pleased that the

The Royal Canadian Navy of the future will contain a well-bal- anced flexible fleet dedicated to defending the Sovereignty of the country as well as carrying out Civil responsibilities, such as environmental monitoring and drug intervention. So what's going to change?

Throughout the duration of the Cold War, Canada's navy, which és tenowned around the world for its professional seamanship skills, Specialized in peace keeping mis- sions which allowed it to rely on its allies. Relying on allies means individual naval units could spe- Cialize in certain areas, and there- fore each contribute something to the overall scheme.

But according to Lieutenant- Commander John Scott Dewar, the world is a changing place, and the demise of the Cold War means an end to recognizing who your enemies are.

“The demise of the Soviet Union means the world is much more unpredictable. As a result, the Canadian Navy is looking inwards, and is now Starting to further develop and rely on its Own resources,” Dewar said.

Dewar, along with Petty Offi- cer, First Class Mark Moger, was in Castlegar last Wednesday to address Chamber of Commerce members during a luncheon at the Fireside Inn. Although the -atten- dance was quite low, the naval officers did provide an interesting lecture to the small but attentive audience that attended.
