Enlightening Meeting Held in Pickering Village By Barry Murkar ' Last Friday night we were invited | to sit in on the monthly meeting of the Ontario County Mutual "Aid Fire Service Association held at Pickering. It was both interesting, informative and impressive. The Pickering Vill age fire hall was jammed to the doors with firemen, representing the 16- member departments of Ontario County, ~~ } Chief Bob Scott and his department were hosts for the evening. Fire Chief Hobbs of Oshawa chaired the meeting. < came to the rescue and assisted the local firemen, There was no cost in- volved to the municipalities where the fires equ urred. It proved under ac- tual fire 'conditions just how valuable this mutual aid can be to all member departments, The association, which has several hundred members, meets each month to hear lectures, see movies and de- monstrations pertaining to fire fight- ing. , Mutual Aid basically means, that whenever a fire department moves out of its own area to assist another de- partment in an emergency, it will not leave its own area unprotected' be- cause, another member department will stand by .to cover during the ab- sence of 'the local brigade. In the recent large fires at Osh- awa and Ajax, nearby departments ~At first, it was. believed by many that Mutual Aid. was to be used in case of an enemy attack. Of course it would be, but it is also being used now wherever and whenever needed. At one-time, not so long ago, most volunteer fire departments amounted to a group dedicated and interested citizens who ryshed to the firehall every time the siren blew. They still do, but today the departments in this area meet every week for trainipg in handling equipment, . first-aid and CE ee FE DECORATION DAY .,. at Pine Grove Cemetery i The Board of Directors have decided owing to changing | conditions there will be no Memorial Service this year. | However, it is. intended. to set aside i [| : - Sunday, June 18th as Decoration Day, and plot owners and friends are asked to avail themselves of the opportunity to remember their departed friends by placing flowers in the Cemetery as usual, on Sunday, June 18th. june 1 - 15 u HEATING OIL Furnace and Stove Top QUALITY * AUTOMATIC DELIVERY Budget Terms if Desired LET REESOR FUEL & LUMBER YUkon 5-7951 US FILL YOUR TANK | learning the new methods being de- veloped to fight fires. w; At the meeting Bud Bannigan, fors mer Brock Road resident, showed a movie and spoke on the fire- resistant qualities of gysum.

The mayor. emphasized that- any such venture should be under- taken by private interests, rather than by the town. A municipal airport would be feasible only- when and if Lindsay achieves city status, One advantage of an airport, the "| mayor said, would be to provide trans- portation to and from Malton Airport, particularly for businessmen coming to Lindsay.
