Ernest R. Stacey was recent- ly appointed to the position fol- lowing the death of Ray Hobbs who had held the post since 1956. Chief Stacey joined the force on Sept. 24, 1939, as a rookie fireman when the force had only 22 men. By 1956 he had been appointed deputy-chief at the time Mr. Hobbs had been named chief. NEW FIREHALL Chief Stacey says he expects to be leading a force of 140 when the new King Street fire station opens next month. He is now considering putting in an ambulance at the new sta- tion and if this happens a force of 28 men-plus from headquar- ters, including four -- platoon chiefs, will be required to oper- ate the new station. The chief made it clear in a recent interview, he feels credit for the new fire station should g0 to the late Chief Hobbs and past city councils. He said it was Chief Hobbs' vision and groundwork which got the new firehall underway. Born in Oshawa, Stacey is a family man with four sons, two daughters, and a four-month- old grandson, He resides at 136 Labrador Dr., with his wife May and three of his children. He has two married children, Mrs. Nick Copse of Toronto and! Bruce of Oshawa.

RESCUE BOAT One controversial, piece of equipment which Chief Stacey feels is needed is a new rescue and fire boat. "That's something we're look- ing forward to having. I don't think that boat is suitable for what we are expected to do with it." He pointed out that the boat was built in 1949 and is far too old. "I don't think we ever intended to keep it as long as we have." He would also like to see a full-time training instructor on the staff who could concentrate on the teaching aspect of fire training. In the more distant future he expects a west end fire station to become a necessity as the -- grows in this diréc- tion. MANPOWER Chief Stacey says he is pleased by the fact that there is virtually no turnover with the fire department but would like to see an increase in the size of his force. "'We could certain- ly use a little extra manpower." He said if he had a larger force he would be able to send men to the ,fire college at Gravenhurst where they, could get the best possible instruction and training, Right now the force is at the point where they don't have enough staff to take many men off active duty for }such courses, Chief Stacey has no lack of faith in the ability of his men, "TI think we've got a good |bunch of firefighters here. In jthese new duties and responsi- |bilities I feel confident that with the personnel we have we can maintain an efficient fire service for the city." Quebec Will Remain, Says Former Mayor Speaking to the Canadian Club cif Ontario County, last night, Judge J. C.

Judge Anderson referred to 1763 when Britain took over Canada to. show how the prob- lem developed. He said, the French who remained in Can- ada knew they could not be economically superior so they tried to be culturally superior.
