December 1, 1965 -- A social evening
was held in the Rendezvous Friday, in honor of MacMillan Bloedel
and Powell River employees from the Aspenite Division, who were
awarded St. John Ambulance certificates upon successfully completing
a first aid course in October.
Manager John Ross addressed the first aid graduates complimenting
them on their initiative and foresight in taking the course.
He said MB & PR were proud to honor the employees in this
way and hoped the example set by the group would encourage others
to follow.
Mr. Ross said it was significant that none of the men present had
been involved in industrial accidents during the year and that the first
aid course probably served to make men more careful in their daily work.
Those graduates receiving certificates were Jay Hitchcock, Fred
Canning, John Kostiuk, Ray Estin, John Robillard, Fred Yanke and Peter
Wolbaum. Receiving vouchers were Max Morton and Leo Gisi. Grant Lewis
received the medallion. Previous first aid grads were Arnold Laing
(voucher) and Howard Cockwill (certificate).
