Wednesday morning helped in the recovery
of the bodies and recorded the necessary
details about the deceased.

He also helped within the town, answer-
ing local calls and assisting in patrolling
streets in the municipality.

Const. Dudley Hatcher, radio operator,
also maintained a prolonged vigil at the
police office, answering phones and sending
radio despatches to police in other parts of
the province.

Direction of traffc was in the hands of
special volunteer police who left their homes
and business premises at the mercy of the
flood to keep “sightseers” from getting into
trouble.

Among those who helped the police by
giving their services and loaning their trucks
were Jim A. English, Dick Parmley, and
Ken Johnson.

Despite the demands of their work, they
always found a moment to give authentic
information to the reporters. When the
drowning of the six Indians had been con-
firmed Cpl. McKay phoned a reporter so
the news could be wired to the coast news-
papers.

is dead.”

Constable: ‘Oh, you must have been
fond of it to feel so sad about its death.”

Chorus of circus men: “It ain’t that,
You see, we have to dig the hole in which
to bury it.”
