RCMP move to open Chetwynd detachment and service changes
The RCMP plans to station an officer in Chetwynd, with quarters built north of the Chetwynd Theatre and arrival expected August 15. The existing RCMP building will include an office residence and cells, plus extra rental space. The same report notes a Phillips 66 station transfer to two mechanics, a provincial election set for September 12 with full party slates, and local candidates outlining campaign approaches. Dawson Truck Stop reports recovery of a 1955 Suick stolen from their lot, with the thief also linked to a later PGE Land Rover theft nearby.

Northern Interior Lumbermen Plan Grading Course
The Northern Interior Lumberman's Association arranged a grading inspectors course led by Red Henderson to begin August 15 at Community Hall. The four week program runs three evenings weekly with two to two and a half hours per session and ends with written and practical exams. It is free for association mill employees. A separate incident saw a gasoline tanker leak along a road near Hart Highway, prompting fire crews to prevent fuel from reaching Centurion Creek and Pine River before tanker removal.
