"But I think the boys at Williams Lake will be back at work in the morning." The Williams Lake workers reported to work at 8 a.m., took out their trucks, had a coffee break and returned to their headquarters to report they were on strike. The union said it had not originally planned a strike at Williams Lake but that it later sanctioned the workers' action. Hydro Chairman Dr.

Gordon Shrum said the spot strikes have so far not affected service and that no talks have yet been arranged between the two parties. He said it would be futile for the corporation to appear before an independent arbitrator, as requested by the union, because a mediator has already failed to find a solution to the dispute. "I would say the mediator we had, Clark Gilmnur, was one of the best in the business and he couldn't get us together," said Shrum. "And my position is perfectly clear. These employees are already mandarins of our work force, the highest paid of them all.

They would remain the highest paid with only a modest increase in their contract. "The seven-per-cent offer world put the instill further ahead," said Shrum. "That is why we can't afford to give them more than we have given other unions at Hydro in recent negotiations." Shrum said the union is wrong in suggesting Hydro wants to eliminate the isolation pay which cost the corporation over $170,000 last year and went to 340 electrical workers. "Our negotiators made clear to union negotiators and to the mediator that we did not want In do that but that we wanted, instead, to reduce some of these allowances." He said some isolated areas were more isolated in the mid-19ii0s when the rates were set than they are now. Talks broke oil a week ago when Shrum told the union Hydro could not pay more than the per cent offered Hydro office workers over a three-year period.

pital bed. Until Tuesday, the 53-year-old veteran with 30 years' Hying L-Nperiencc says none of his planes had ever suffered as much as a scratch. At 4:17 p.m. Tuesday, his chemical fire-bomber crashed at the head of a raging forest fire and trapped inside he watched the fire sweep down and around him. The 5,500 pounds of fire-retarding chemicals in the aircraft saved the Abbotsford man from being fried alive by the fire he was fighting.

Syme was trapped in the smoke and fire for eight hours craft. In his hospital bed, Syme recalled his ordeal in an interview. "I was guing in on my fifth run of the day then a wave of turbulence hit the aircraft and down it went." He said the crash "wasn't a sudden thing" as the converted Second World War Torpedo bomber cut about a 300-fout-long swath through the burning forest about 20 miles north of Dryden. The last tree to be chopped down by the crashing bomber fell over Ihe aircraft and covered it completely. Othcrpilols saw Syme thunder into the trees but lost sight of him in the smoke and heavy bush.

"You just know you're going to die. You've got a forest fire within 15 feet of you and an airplane full of 100 octane gas. 1 was hoping that the gas tank under me would be the first to go it, would've been neat, quick, fast and simple." The force of the crash had popped open the belly doors on Ihe bomber and a slushy mixture of chemicals and water gushed out and around the aircraft. The tail of the craft was not covered by chemicals and it quickly burned as the inferno swallowed everything. "The fire was approaching from the front.

The gas in the tanks was bubbling it didn't explode but an air bottle beside my leg did. The fragments missed." Overhead a resuce helicopter and other airplanes were swooping tliough the smoke cover looking for the downed pilot. Through the holes in Ihe shattered aircraft he waved a map. The rescue pilots spotted it and more than eight hours after the fiery ordeal began he was cut out of the aircraft and rushed to hospital. Today, a slightly bruised, slightly cut and slightly singed Syme is sitting propped in a hospital bed drinking plenty of water.
