TWENTY-SEVENTH EDITION “Grey Ghost” Honored GRATEFUL BANK PAYS TRIBUTE TO BRAVE DOG A HEAVY, | silver-plated _ collar hangs in the safest place in the world today—around the neck of a wolf- like almost Alsatian named Silver. The seven-year grey ghost became the first animal in the history of the R.C.M.P. to be honored with an official presentation for gallantry in action. Just a Rookie The lithe-limbed lady from Sydney, N.S., a seven-week rookie with the B.C. detachment, received the collar— and a heavy, 18-inch shank bone— from a grateful Royal Bank of Canada for her part in recovering $27,000 holdup loot and apprehending the three who stole it. Silver had been serving with the Cranbrook, B.C., dogmaster, Cst. Keith Sanderson, exactly six days when three gunmen shot their way to brief freedom, after holding up the suburban South Burnaby branch of the Royal Bank. For an hour and 15 minutes she led searchers through chest-high swamps. nosing out package after package of money dropped by the fleeing trio. Then, with two of the men in custody, she hunted down the third, who had $14,000 in his possession. Presentation Made The presentation was made in front of the bank vault, with Cst. Sanderson, Sub-Inspector Gordon Gerrie and two other red-coated R.C.M.P. officers present. Banks are banks and dogs are dogs and the Royal Bank deals in canine currency, too—some of which we would like to donate to you now,” said manager E. P. Bowser. Television cameras whirred, news- paper flasbulbs popped and Silver, at a word from her handler, barked once into a CBC microphone. But she didn’t touch the bone until told to do so. The inscription on plated collar reads: “To Silver for outstanding services January 13, 1955, from the Royal Bank of Canada.” * * the _ silver- SUPPORT OUR POLICE Pemberton’s Jeweller * 607 No. 3 Road, Phone DU 2570 LULU ISLAND, B.C.
