editorial- entitled must halt false fire calls which appeared in the january 20 1982 tribune i agree that every effort must be madeto control false alarms since- they are a nuisance to biir very efficient fire depart ment and to uhe dedicated men who serve as volunteers i cannot agree however with some bfv the i assumptions you appear tomakeceg running around town on wild goosechases and also the implication that certain fire alarm systems are- not properly- maintained t parkview homehas precipitated a number of false alarms during 1981 so perhaps i may comment on at leastour situation late in 1980 a smoke detector system was installed at park view and this sensitive equipment has been the cause of a number of false alarms may we draw to your attention the following i 1 the smoke detector system was installed in order to conform to government requirements and for the purpose of providing maximum protection to our residents 2 the system was installed according to government specifications and is approved by comsoc and the ontario fire marshal 3 our fire alarm system is serviced and maintained according to strict government standards both as to the frequency and the quality of the in spections by govern- in ent approved technicians 4 since the type of smoke detectors required are a relatively new technical development some have malfunctioned these units were im- 1 mediately replaced- and we have had no false alarms since september 4 1981 one alarm during the past year was due to a nearby lightning strike and two due to a resident burning toast would you call these false the pertinent point is how can anyone know an alarm is a false alarm you suggest that for false alarms a run could be made with only a few men who would determine when an alarm is a false alarm as you are aware every minute after an alarm occurs is of vital importance we have discussed this with chief walter smith- and he has assured us the fire department must respond- to every- call and they or we can never assume analarm is a false one we take chances when human life is at stake may i say in closing we have nothing but admiration and gratitude for the heroic men who serve so ef ficiently on the stouff ville fire department sincerely jm nighswander administrator the tribune wednesday february 3 1982 a3 rowiier g- r ajwtsy concern dear editor in these troubled times with cynicism creeping into the hearts j and minds of so many i still find that love and concern for one another abounds id like to cite one significant instance k this is a letter of joy and gratitude written during a personal time of grief it relates to the staff of the stouffville veterinary clinic drs hacking and gall in particular we nave had the good fortune to own two beautiful airedale terriers and one west highland white terrier all members of our family several year on jan 11 macdougall out westie was taken to the clinic for the removal of a growth all went well- on thursday of the same week bur beloved sheba was found with a growth as well she was admitted for surgery jan 18 the growth was y v- l pf- v j removed and all seemed to be going well dr hacking suggested we call at 630 pm to see if she had sufficiently recovered to return home our daughter tanya shebas devoted companion and myself drove into town to retrieve her there a nice young lady met us and ac- right to lif e speaker condemns abortion by jim irving stouffville grim and sometimes bizarre tales related to the act of abortion and its consequences were unfurled before a gathering of teen listeners at the stouff- ville pentecostal church thursday night by chuck roche chairman of the durham region right to life association using figures pictures and his own dedicated rhetoric mr roche a teacher at- stouffville dist secondary high school kept hisyourig listeners hanging on her every word as he repeated his theme that the taking v a life cures nothing why pick on the unborn child roche asked the answer is that the latter isnt viable or capable of sustaining life it isnt human is the argument in favor he said such a view is en tirely wrong- the speaker said it is no way better illustrated that at an accident where the first y thing thats done by those in chargeistblook for a heartbeat in the victim no matter how badly he or she might seem next is a check for brain activity they go all out to rescue he said with the unborn child the fetus is breathing 18 days after conception after six weeks its brain is functioning it is sucking its thumb breathing and urinating by 10 weeks all functions are developed it is just hot fully grown the only thing its guilty of is its depen dence on its mother roche said by vaborting the fetus up to 30 weeks after conception there isno question a living being is having its life snuffed out the speaker said it is difficult to convince people of the horrors of abortion roche said however he said one has to tell his audience without making them feel guilty in the process the women con cerned werent guilty because they found out too late or werent informed of what was involved roche said that dr d c morgentaler the montreal physician who specialized in abortions was making a tremendous buck by the practise morgen taler had also invented a method where the fetus was taken by suction the later ripped the baby to shreds and also violated the mother he said another method is through the ad ministration of salt poison into the amniotic sac when they are unable to remove the fetus from the uterus with this the baby burns to death within two hours he said reasons for abortion include having handicapped children the wrong six and convenience roche urged his listeners to respect the life of the unborn child if you together can save one life then you have something of which to be proud he said also that if the people of stouff ville would get off their butts arid form a right to life association id be glad tbhelp roche showed a short film depicting a young unwed motherto be pondering her dilemma and finally deciding to have the child companied us into the examination room to await drl gallv v when he entered could tell by the look on his face that our sheba would never come home she had died 20 minutes after our call dr gall admitted that breaking such news is indeed difficult she was only 4v4 years old and a very dear member of our family we granted his request to perform an autopsy in an effort to learn the cause of death sheba w e discovered later had died as the result of a blood dot related to an injury caused when she was struck by a car two years previous she was badly hurt at that time and- almost died by gods grace she was given two years beyond her time for us to love on jan 20- we received a letter from dr gall on behalf of the dinic in it he ex pressed his regret at our loss this was truly appreciated for it in dicated to us how dedicated and caring these veterinarians are for all pets and their owners their actions touched our hearts perhaps the few- minutes it takes to communicate genuine concern and feeling for others will help keep us all strong and reinforce the beauty to be found in our world
