WOTTON EMO Co-ordinator for Oshawa and Ontario County A number of activities have eccurred in Emergency Meas- ures in Ontario County and Osh- awa that have been reported in this paper. However, there are many ac- tivities that have occurred, pro- fei mon knowledge to all. For example, ftems will be of interest -- steps forward, plans etc., that are not com- the following would call in mutual aid for a normal fire. It is hoped that the other fire departments in the County will follow the example of Uxbridge in also conducting this rescue training for its members.

To complete this job for all Town- ships, exclusive of Oshawa, will take one man 30 months. TREATMENT CENTRE The St. John Ambulance has organized the formation of a 200-man advance treatment centre to support the Oshawa) fi General Hospital. The Seventh - day Adventist Missionary College is doing the same for another advance treat- ment centre within their own Manpower resources. Two large scale welfare cen- tes are organizing and train- commences in January.

Construction of rescue train ing building initiated. Plans produced and author ity given to tender for construc- tion of operational headquar- ters shelter. Staff enlarged to include a eputy Co-ordinator who began employment in October. Without a little "'hind-sight" we could easily be discouraged if we concentrate only on the many tasks still ahead. The year's record is hearten- ing and it can be said the pace has quickened. The Cuban crisis added impetus at the end of the year. Therefore in the new year We can expect to see progres- sive steps accomplished far be- yond what could have been at- tempted in 1962. EMERGENCY FIRE SERVICE An excellent example of co- ordination between two emer- gency services is 'he program now almost complete, of train- ing firemen in the techniques of heavy rescue taught to EMO volunteers. It is not that the fire service normal training program. Rath- er the decision to teach firemen the EMO syllabus on rescue stems from the increased threat With' so many of our heating requirements being met by a combination of gas, oil and elec- tricity, poor maintenance of equipment does not make itself evident a would coal and wood burning furnaces and_ stoves. Explosions in domestic dwell- ing are on the increase and with apartment construction on the increase the ingredients exist for a disaster where many people may be trapped in a collapsed building and the minor problem could be fire- ighting. It follows then that heavy res- cue equipment should be read- ily available and that firemen should become familiar with its use. TWO FIRE TRUCKS It is now an accomplished fact that the mutual aid fire service of Ontario County has two trucks of equipment for res- cue on call for emergency. Osh- awa has well over 50 of its men trained to use the heavy rescue equipment. In an emergency this equipment can be used by bility to our civilian rescue group. the manpower of the fire de partment not réquired for fire- fighting. As this manpower be- erved in administrative capa- city at Army Headquarters, Oakville as well as Petawawa and other military appoint- ments, Don will concentrate on building up the Welfare capa- bility and has already attended a@ course in Gravenhurst on Welfare. He begins instruction classes in January on Welfare. In addition, research on com- munal emergency sheltering is occupying much of his time. With this addition to its staff, EMO Headquarters in Ontario County will be able to support field projects and surveys, ex- ercises, etc. on an increased scale in 63. COMMUNICATION SERVICE The Plan: The communica- tion plan for EMO was re- written in 1962 and brought ur to date, Following its publica- tion the communication room and operations room were re- organized to the new require- ments, The Organization: The plan produced a rather complex organization. To assist the read- ers the bare essentials are re- produced here to show what emergency capability we now have in communications throughout the County. The Training: Training of operators has now reached the point of requiring frequent tests of each radio net. Check calls are made twice daily on the Provincial net, and once per week for an exercise including the volunteer operators. The County internal net is used daily administratively and ex- ercised once per week with volunteer operators. The amateur radio net is exercised nightly by the North Shore Radio Club from their own home stations and once per week from EMO control station. EXERCISES Operational exercises are fre- quently conducted depending upon requirements, for example: Communication was supplied to the Rescue exercise in the Taunton area in November. Crowd traffic control exer- cise was operated in conjunc- tion with the Bowmanville oe Claus parade in Decem- er. During the Cuban crisis a special stand-to exercise was in effect. Test exercises frequently occur as. new EMO stations of other Counties are added to the net to reduce interferences and maintain the required opera- tional capability, As a starter, I have before me the County of York bulletin and I notice that they have made special note of the fact that they have a girl in their rescue squad. This is not news with us since we have Mrs. Helen Reading, Audrey Sugden, Bery! Garrett and Lyn Porter, plus one new lady in training, Miss Joan Nesbitt. We have a good hard core of rescue women who have proven themselves well able to handle the tech- niques of rescue. They fill, as well, a very necessary require- ment for ladies with the rescue squad to act as immediate wel- fare to casualties, It: is an accepted fact that ladies are better qualified to soothe and comfort those in distress, and they need not take a back seat to the men where physical worth of rescue is involved. NEWS OF RESCUE ACTIVITIES Revised mobilization orders are now two thirds completed] and they should provide a sound basis should another Cuban type crisis develop. The Organization Chart is completed down to the first heavy rescue platoon as far as appointments are ned are six daughters dy Mrs. E. a Island; Mrs. (Ella), Enniskillen; Peterborough Mrs, ak ee Pete' H .

GEORGE KULMALA George Kulmala, 42 Bloor street east, Oshawa, died at the Oshawa General Hospital Satur- day» Dec. 29, in his 59th year. He had been in failing health for the past seven weeks. Mr. Kulmala was born in Tampere, Finland, May 25, 1904. He was the son of the late Charles and Fiina Kulmala. He came te Canada 33 years ago and resided in Toronto until he came to Oshawa seven years ago. He married Martta Tall- berg in Oshawa in 1955. Mr. Kulmala was the proprie- tor of the Finnish Steam Bath, The terms of reference for each appointment are down in the mobilization order. A recent weekend saw Platoon Officer Hutchison and Section Leader Reid take one section on a 24-hour survival exercise. This consisted of the alert at 5 p.m. Saturday till 9 a.m., Sun- day at the Airport buildings, carrying out preparatory steps set down in the mobilization orders, and at 9 a.m., Sunday, they were despatched to the Geisberger farm north east of Taunton, where they conducted training in rescue techniques until 5 p.m., Sunday. During this 24-hour span they existed on their 24-hour survival ack, which is set down by the jupply. Officer Ron Shawkins as a well-balanced requirement for a rescue man for the first 24 hours after disaster strikes. This pack is made up and maintained by the rescue man at a cost of approximately $2.00. Any time it is used for exercise purposes it will be replaced by list for Rescue, there are cer- tain steps you should take as soon as possible. (1) You should turn out at the airport at the very first opportunity on a Tuesday night and draw your kit bag to be Say to contain your survival it. (2) Check the organization board and make yourself ac- quainted with your Section Leader. (3) With your Section Leader check into Quartermaster Stores for fitting of personal issue kit. This kit is packed in a carton with your name and section number. On the alert it is then a matter of reporting to the mobilization point and collecting your complete kit.
