That

declared
Mr.

who
said
that
his

stand
as

absolutely

was
well
known.
The

the

a
means

in

The

Mr.

at

weekly
meeting
under

in
the
Canadian

rooms
last
evening.
Later
there
was
a
joint
meeting
with
the

fire
auxiliary
leaders
under
Fire
Chief
Lock
and
his
auxiliary
chief.
W.
D.

At
the
close
there
was
a
demonstration
by
Angus
MacDonald
of
the
newly
developed
type-
of
stretcher.
At
the
district
wardens'
meeting
reports
showed
that
steady
practices
and
regular
meetings
were
being
held.
At
these
prac
tices
many
varied
types
of
"Incidents"
were
made
up
and.
in
dealing
with
them,
the
first
aiders,
fire
fighters
and
police
wardens
had
every
chance
to
exercise
their
resourcefulness.
In
case
of
a
real
emergency
these
workers
would
be
well
prepared.
Some
special
con
sideration
had
been
given
to
boun
daries
of
the
districts
and
the
first
aid
posts.
The
wardens
would
ad
vise
the
people
concerned
as
to
any
change
In
t
h
e
locations
of
their
first
aid
posts.
Those
pres
ent
were
J.
L.
Macintosh,
J.
A.
H.
McOlashan
and
J.
E.
Doddle.
At
the
Joint
meeting
with
the
fire
auxiliaries,
in
addition
to
Fire
new
simple
type
of
stretcher
was
given.
This
was
made
by
J.
E.
Bod
die
to
the
plans
of
Angus
Mac-Donald
based
on
a
newspaper
report
and
had
proven
to
be
most
practical.
There
was
no
difficulty
in
working
one's
way
through
doorways
or
around
corners
and
the
stretcher
might
be
used
in
a
vertical
position
without
any
risk
or
Inconvenience
to
the
paUent.
Numbers
of
these
will
be
made
available
locally
for
use
by
the
first
aid
sections.
Mr.

was
generally
complimented
on
this
new
feature.

very
important

the
construction
of
the
highway
up
the
Skeena
River
out
of
Prince
Rupert
to
connect
with
the
main
highway
system
had
been
approved
as
a
Joint
defence
project
between
the
United
States
and
Canada.
While
such
roads
would
during
the
war
be
essentially
military
roads,
they
would
become
normal
highways
after
the
war,
Mx.
Hanson
believed.
Meantime,
they
would
be
available
for
the
use
of
civllans
whose
travel,
of
London
only
five
percent
of
the
people
use
air-raid
shelters.
In
order
to
be
bombproof
they
need
to
have
an
earth
covering
of
forty
feet
or
an
equivalent
concrete
roof.
Proper
ventilation
is
needed
and
even
lighting
must
be
considered.
The
cost
of
suitable
tunnelling
here
had
been
worked
out
and
to
provide
a
shelter
seven
feet
by
five
feet
would
cost
thirty-five
dollars
a
lineal
foot.
That
meant
that
a
shelter
one
hundred
feet
long
would
cost
$3,500.
And
that
would
shelter
only
a
limited
number
of
people.
Various
reports
had
stated
that
there
was
much
suitable

available
In

Investigation
had
proved
that
this
was
not
the
case.
There
was
no

at
