ALMONTE, ONT. -One of the smallest establishments in the Toronto Air Services Region, the monitoring station here, was the first to be awarded the McIntyre trophy for fire prevention and safety.

 

A committee chaired by Regional Fire Prevention Officer R. J. Armour judged all establishments in the region.

 

"The Almonte station was as clean as a whip", says Mr. Armour, "and the officer­in-charge and his staff were very interested in fire prevention. They actually asked me how they could further improve on their efforts. I told them they couldn't."

 

The station's officer-in-charge is E. Davey. His staff members are radio operators A. E. Berry, G. F. Gaston, S. R. Ritchie and J. P. Curran.

 

The trophy was presented by Regional Director David P. Glen at Almonte on February 15.

 

Also present at the ceremony was W. R. Butler, regional controller of T & E.

 

The McIntyre trophy was established in 1962 from monies donated towards the retirement of D. A. McIntyre, regional superintendent of airports.
