In

of
their

Commissioner
T.
W.
S.
Parsons,
Constables
Myles
H.
McLeod
and
Richard
W.

of

of
the
provincial

last

received
St.
John
Ambulance
proficiency
certificates
in
a
brief
presentation
ceremony
in
the
police
court
chamber.
The
presentations
were
made
by
W.
L.
Armstrong,
president
of
the
local
St.
John
Ambulance
unit.
Robert
S.
Reld,
former
secretary
of

ceremony,

A.

G.

and
Constable
R
A.

of

Introducing
Mr.
Armstrong.
Commissioner
Parsons
told
the
two
constables
that
possession
of
first
aid
certificates
"really
means
something."
"It
gives
you
the
opportunity
of
doing
more
than
upholding
the
law,"
he
said.
"The
real
service
In
life
Is
to
help
other
people,
and
the
St.
John
Ambulance
specializes
In
aiding
others."
He
added
that
when
the
new
highway
came
into
public
use
they
would
probably
find
use
for
their
skill
by
assisting
victims
of
accidents
which
would
no
doubt
follow.
Before
making
the
presentation.
Mr.
Armstrong
told
Con
stables
McLeod
and
Strouts
that
the
certificates
were
not
a
reward,
but
merely
a
recognition
of
the
skill
they
had
achieved.
"Your
real
reward
will
come
In
relieving
wounds
and
pain,
or
possibly
saving
a
life,"
he
declared.
Constables
Strouts
and
McLeod
passed
the
St.
John
course
while
attending
Police
Training
School
at
Victoria
last
spring.
Commissioner
Parsons

the

This
was
a

that

wanted

"Skeena

Other

included
"Sunset

"Sockcye

The

the
