vojunteerj- ambulapce service is in trouble but there is a simple solution more volunteers the problem is not o much a drop in- s interest- of those who have served inriany years as gvas volunteers though this is something which is bound to happen it is rather that today the group serves a more than doubled population which means more calls statistics reveal this 200 calls in its first year of operation and over 500 in js68 biggest stumbling block to maximum efficiency is the problem of daytime duty at first this was not so important georgetown being a town with a more than lusual number of shift workers and it was possible to use men on the daytime roster when they were on night work each year the problem has intensified and today of the 85 gvas members only ten or so are able to be on call in the day time this puts a heavy load on the few and the point could be reached where some of these will not want to shoulder the task forever going to pot the herald has an inflexible rule in publishing mail bag letters they must carry name and address when they appear the reason is that we believe a person must have the courage to stand up for his convictions just like the editor does in his column particularly when the mailer is controversial in mondays mail we received a letter signed concerned and it has so concerned us that we have turned it over to municipal aothoritiej albeit it with not much hope of success the writer refers to a drug situation in georgetown claim that seveneighths of the population between ages of 13 and 25 take drugs in some form and says there ere five or six rjrug parties every weekend he or the then takes the police force to task for not raiding parties and municipal authorities for not providing more recrea tional facilities to keep ypung people

town was discontinued because it could riot be operated prof itably the idea of a volunteer system was proposed and with hard work and promotion by some interested rhen gvas came into being tt is reputedly the first such in canada and possibly on the north american continent and has since been copied by many municipalities volunteers get no remuneration their pay being a yearly- banquet an odd social event and the tremendous feeling of help ing a fellowman with a lifesaving service so dedicated are some members that it costs them money there are men who while their firm does not dock them for a duty call may lose a shift bonus by their absence gvas has no limit on number of mem bers and any man who wishes to join will get a warm welcome from the membership an advertisement in last

last stages of the pages composition there was no room to explain why bread crumbs were described as harm ful to small birds in winter according to one of the many news letters from various wild life organizations which arrive regularly with the heralds mail breadcrumbs while han dled easily by larger birds swell up in the crops of smaller birds when they drink water and can block their gul lets
