THE “GOSSIP COLUMN” has proved a
popular feature, so we'll try and keep you
up to date with the comings and goings.
~ Const. L. I. Olson of Hazelton had the
misfortune to suffer a severe illness and was
invalided in July. His many friends will
wish him a speedy recovery and re-engage-
ment.

Another old-timer who left us was Const.
J. D. H. “Don” Stewart of Penticton. He
purchased his discharge to go into the truck-
ing business. Success to the new venture,
‘Don.
Const. W. C. “Bill” Murray of Victoria
has been promoted Corporal and posted to
the fruit belt—Penticton. A keen police
officer, Bill’s hobby is physical fitness.
In September the Force opened its doors
to Corpl. Roy Allan of the Provincial Game

Department, who sailed in at the wheel of

the good ship P.G.D. 2. Roy was trans
ferred to the police with his patrol boat.
He will continue patrolling the east side of
the Gulf of Georgia, with headquarters at
Stillwater.
SS

Sergt. C. W. A. Barwis was transferred
to Pouce Coupe to take charge of the boom-
ing Peace River District. Only good men
are assigned tough jobs.

Sergt. E. C. (“Ed”) Williamson left
Hgrs. C. I. B. to join the Army. Many
recruits who passed through the Police
Training School in the past year or so
remember Ed on the parade ground.

Corpl. Joe Howe, who was practically
the mayor of Alert Bay, finally got a move.
Joe’s at Nanaimo. He made a host of friends
up there around Johnston Strait.

AROUND TrlE BEAT >

Const. Archie Lashmar (Cumberland)
was promoted to Corporal and is now in
charge at Alert Bay. Congratulations.

Another popular promotion was at Pen-
ticton where Corpl. W. J. McKay was
promoted Sergeant, and takes charge of
Cranbrook district. Penticton’s loss is
Cranbrook’s gain.

Two more popular Corporals are now
wearing a third stripe—Fred Boyt of
Smithers and S. E. Raybone of Grand
Forks. And better still, both were lucky
enough to be in charge of districts, and so
didn’t have to move. Congratulations to

both of you.

Since our last issue Corpl. Jack Renner
has moved out on pension. Twenty-nine
years with the Force, Jack will be remem-
bered for his participation in many an ex~
citing police problem.
