It is against the law as well as insurance regulations to transfer gas from a large cylinder to a smaller one, except in an approved propane cylinder filling plant. Open cylinder valves fully when in use (by turning counter-clockwise). This gives you full flow of gas from the cylinder and prevents any leak around the valve stem. Close cylinder valves tight even when empty (by turning clockwise). This is necessary to prevent moisture getting into the empty cylinder during storage and trans- portation. Moisture in the cylinder could cause “freeze- up”’ of the Regulator in freezing weather (because of the refrigerating action of the gas in the Regulator when the pressure is being reduced). Cylinders should always be kept outdoors. You wouldn’t think of bringing a five gallon can of high octane gasoline into your kitchen. A "20 Ib.’’ cylinder of Propane contains nearly the same amount of heat energy and in addition is under pressure. VAN HEEL continued from page 6, working up the hill when it was actually putting in hours at the pool...the town has seen a good blend of the work- ing man and the company.” Why has he stayed here so long? “In the past | would have said my heart would be on the water — at sea (before coming north, van Heel worked on the tow boats at the coast. He is a native B.C.-er.) | hated the mountains when | first came here... Now, unless a mountain is in sight, it wouldn’t be right for me...! think what kept me here is the security — and the fact that | was able to be busy all the time...there aren‘t enough hours in the day...” He has enjoyed the wild life and the wilderness aspect of Cassiar life, ‘‘] don’t think there’s a mountain around here | haven’t climbed,” he says. He is an ardent fisherman and used to hunt every year. The game was bountiful in the early years. “We could go out any Sunday and see a moose...The first eight to ten years here there was a good cross section of all kinds of game — grizzly, caribou, moose...There was a caribou calving ground around Maria Lake just west of town...it was a ritual for us; every year we’d go up there to see the calves.” The weather is different now too. ‘‘There used to be a time | could forecast the weather perfectly — not so the last five years. It used to be very cold from the third week of December through until the end of January or sometimes into February. | mean a steady minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and we had lots of snow like this year... can only remember one year when we had more snow than this year.” What does the future hold? van Heel will have his 30 years in with the company next year and will retire. He recently had open heart surgery and is now recovering from the operation. But he doesn’t intend to stop his community work. He’s looking forward to becoming a full time pastor of a full gospel church. Pete Zazulak For Your Truck and Car Needs Call Collect 847-2237 Hoskins Ford Sales Ltd.

SCHOLARSHIP Scholarship applicants must be admitted to a univ- ersity or recognized post-secondary education institute and enrolled in courses in electrical engineering, comm- erce, business administration, computer science, elect- ronic technology, or in courses that would provide an applicant with qualifications of potential benefit to the Company. 7 The program was approved by the Northwestel Board of Directors at their last meeting in December. The Board’s Chairman, R.C. Franklin, said that the pro- gram demonstrates Northwestel’s commitment to assist in the development of human resources in the North. “In common with many other business firms in northern Canada, Northwestel faces continual problems in obtaining adequate numbers of skilled staff who are resident in the North,” said Mr. Franklin. “This results in a need to recruit from other parts of Canada, rather than locally.” “It is in the Company’s best interests to encourage and assist the education and training of students in its operating area with a view to increasing the numbers of local residents with skills suited for employment with the Company.” Applications for the 1985-86 academic year must be sent to the Principal, Northern Lights College, Fort Nelson, B.C., no later than August 31. The Company will also attempt to provide summer employment opportunities to scholarship winners. Other scholarships are also being offered to students within the Company’s operating area in the Yukon and the western Northwest Territories. ip Re avis gh Mo engine eT iSubscriptions SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE ONLY $6.50 PER YEAR (ELEVEN ISSUES).

Area MLA, Tony Brummet, has refused to get involved or even to offer a word of sympathy for the situation. The tone of his responses to the protesters so far can be sum- med up by his recent statement:‘‘This government will not be intimidated by anyone.” The lodge closure has however helped focus attention on the problems faced by operators in B.C.’s remote northwestern sector. Support has now been forthcoming from the Regional Board and from the provincial ombud- sman, Dr. Karl Friedman. The meeting between Jack Gunnes and Dr. Friedman, which was held in Fort Nelson on March 14,1985, result- ed in some very promising new steps. “Although progress may take time we now feel that we have begun to move,” said Mr. Gunnes.’Dr. Friedman assured us that he would look into B.C. Hydro’s mandate to supply power at a reasonable rate to all provinical taxpayers, ; Jack Gunnes is currently embarking on a tour of the north that will take him from Fort Nelson along the Al- aska Highway to Watson Lake and then south along High- way 37 all the way to Prince George and north again to Fort Nelson. He will be meeting with Chambers of Com- merce along the route in hopes of raising support for his cause and gaining an understanding of the problems faced by other communities in the north. He will be pleased to meet with as many business owners as possible. He feels, “It is time we make our concerns known by joining to- gether to get some action from Victoria.” For further in- formation contact Mr. Jack Gunnes at Muncho Lake 3411. RCMP KILLED Continued from Page 1. Team members were deployed at approximately 11:00 a.m. Oros was walking down the lake parallel to the shore. The police attempted to contain him in the open, however, he got to the lakeshore and entered the bush. _ Three Team members entered the bush at a point further down the shoreline and deployed themselves at different positions in the bush in attempts to contain Oros as he approached. They heard a single shot, turned in the direction of the shot and saw Oros reloading. Oros was subsequently shot. Constable Buday was found approximately 20 yards from where Oros was shot. Evidence at the scene showed that Oros circled behind the Team and shot Constable Buday from behind. Oros was of U.S. origin however held Landed Immi- grant Status in Canada. Oros had a Criminal record for the Possession of Narcotics in 1971 and Fraud in 1981. He was previously investigated by the R.C.M.P. in late 1981 and 1982 regarding the disappearance of Gunther Hans , Lishy in the Atlin area. Oros was arrested in this investi- gation at a cabin in the Atlin area. Found in his cabin was a..44 magnum revolver and other personal property be- longing to Lishy. There were indications that Oros could be dangerous in future dealings with the police. Oros was given a 30 day Psychiatric Remand and was found to be mentally fit. As a result of this investigation, Oros was charged with Possession of a Restricted Weapon, Possession of Stolen Property and Failure to Deliver a Restricted Weapon. Oros was aquitted of these charges. Constable Buday, a native of Brooks, Alberta, is sur- vived by his parents, two brothers and a sister. He had been a member of the Terrace R.C.M.P. detachment since 1979 and a Dog Service specialist since 1983. _NOTICE OF SALE Offers in a Sealed Envelope clearly marked Sealed Tender #4150-85-11 will be received until noon, April 26, 1985 by: Mr. A.
