Jim Volunteer Fire Department When Overbrook ratepayers have a fire, they telephone 2r8764 and within minutes this truck appears with members of the volunteer fire brigade to Overbrook Fire Brigade Has Modern Equipment By Fred Inglis Evening Citizen Staff Writer Inadvertently overlooked during the Dominion' Fire Chiefs' Convention in Ottawa and highly indignant about it are 35 members of the Overbrook Volunteer Fire Department. Organized as a bucket brigade more than .25 years ago, they now have a modern fire truck with ample equipment and they handle unassisted, most of the blazes reported in that fast-growing Ottawa suburb adjoining Eastview and east of the Rideau Start Work On Seating MPs In Commons By The Canadian Press Commons officials are due to start work, within the next few days on a seating arrangement for members of the Commons elected in the June 27 general election. Because of the government's overwhelming majority, the task will not be easy. There are so many Liberal members that some of them will occupy seats ordinarily filled by members of the opposition. The present standing of the Commons is Liberals 188; Progressive Conservatives 40; CCF 12; Social Credit 10: Independent four; Independent Liberal one; vacant seven; total 262.

The seats usually are alloted on a basis of seniority. The government had a somewhat similar top-heavy majority after the 1940 election and for five years there were Liberal members to the right and the left of the Speaker. As a center front seat, opposite Prime Minister St. Laurent, is reserved for the leader of the opposition, some of the Liberals are going to find themselves ranged alongside the Progressive Conservative forces of George Drew. Mr.

Drew's representatives mainly will be behind him and to his left. Farther from the Speaker on the opposition side will be the CCF and Social Credit parties and various independent members. A week of evangelical service was begun at Emmanuel Pentecostal Tabernacle with special services on Sunday. Mrs. Doris McLellan, blind evangelisit, who graduated from.

"If 15 or more men show up and fight the fire, we just put in six names and the money 'earned, goes into a We use the money to supply flowers at funerals but when this department goes (by annexation by Ottawa) we'll divide the money between the members," Chief White said. Other officers of the Overbrook Fire Department are Deputy Chief Gordon Blissett and Lieutenant James Percival, both with over five years' service on the association.

The chief has been with the brigade since it was organized over 25 years ago. Chairman of the Fire Committee of the Village Board is J. C. Bisson and the fire inspector is Oscar Jolicoeur, in whose house the fire telephone 2-8764 is located. When a call is received, he switches on the siren atop his roof and within seconds, volunteer firemen appear at the double from all directions.

Others follow the truck to the blaze and join in the battle in traditional style. Back at the fire hall, members doff their coats and helmets and drain the hose in readiness for the next alarm. edge is off the CSU issue which was expected to be the hottest at this labor rally there likely will be strong condemnation of the leadership of the Seamen's Union before the convention goes through the motions of throwing the union out. Ducking Duty is contended here that the CSU withdrew from the Congress because it didn't want to face the music and that the union leaders are "ducking their duty" to the membership by taking this action. The charge made in the CSU letter of withdrawal that the TLC is governed from Washington by the AFL particularly annoys Percy Bengough, the TLC president and his executive.

This will be emphatically denied at Calgary and it will be pointed out that the CSU leaders are the last persons to talk of influence from outside J. A. 15. Fisher Largely attended, the funeral for James Andrew Burns Fisher, who died in hospital on Thursday in his 77th year, was held Saturday in the Hulse and Playfair chapel with Rev. J.

The area covered by the Overbrook volunteer firemen extends from the Rideau river to Union street, the junction with Eastview; east to the Base Line road, south to Cyrville and west to the river. As many as six grass fires burning at the same time have kept the volunteers busier than they had bargained for this summer. "We're supposed to get 75 cents an hour for fighting fires," Chief J. J.

Hume Citizen Parliamentary Writer Way back in 1911, a 36-year-old lawyer was elected as Liberal member for Cape Breton South, NS. On Sept. 15, at the opening of the first session of the 21st' Parliament, that same man, Wm. F.

It is true that most of their alarms are only for chimney fires and grass fires but these are numerous and could easily spread into something more serious without prompt action by the local firefighters.

Volunteer firemen work fast. When they hear the former air raid siren wail, they know it might be their own house on fire and they race to the fire hall on King George street near the railway tracks, climb aboard the fire truck and speed to the scene of the excitement. If the fire is too big for the Overbrook firefighters to handle, the Gloucester Fire Department which is obliged to attend all alarms in Overbrook. gives them a hand to quell the blaze. But they prefer to grapple with the Are unassisted by Ottawa, Eastview or Gloucester.

Other standard equipment includes a first aid kit, stretcher, fire axes and asbestos gloves. Back in one corner of the fire hall are about eight red pails, remnants of the old bucket brigade. Then came the Wajax 50-gal-lon pumper and 500 feet of hose on a trailer. This was all they had Jrom 1930 to 1944 The other four "returnees" are: George T.
