You're there to save somebody's: life and the government is stopping you from doing what you're there for.” FRUSTRATION The rescue team had a plan of action and a route mapped out to reach the campers. “But the government said anyone caught in there would be arrested and that adds a lot to your frustration,’ Martin com- ments. —~ DON MARTIN, holds handiuls of dust he brought bach from the volcano disaster region.

Some people were found wading in three feet of ash and in areas at the base of the mountain the ash depth reached six feet. “There are still a lot of people -in there, as far as I know,” Martin says. “You have this rescue team just itching to get in there and get them out and not allowed to. When the government takes over there is nothing you can do about it.” The team began to feel the effects of the pressure they were under andthe demoralization of the restriction imposed on them “With the lack of sleep it got to the point where everyone was chewing at each other,” Martin says. The situation was such that he still doesn't even know on which day it was he met President Carter. “With the sleep situation it was so confusing I had lost track of the days and didn’t even know what time of the We Insulated this Castle... ashi LN Wed Convent of the Sacred Heart 1960 Dunbar Retrofit Project ..lave us do yours. * Residential © Commercial © lodustttal attics) walls Chip Grant information ( ANADIAN INSULATION 4 © My oe thermo & Storm winGows HBC Mydro financing ( albus for your See ON OS tinreater 980-0272 S30 F 29th St North Vancouver day it was.” After he had met evacuees and the Red Cross, Carter asked to be introduced to the rescue team. “He came in, the whole place was just packed with reporters and he shook our hands and said he really appreciated the effort we were putting in,” Martin reflects. “It was a real boost and I felt I wished I was wearing one of those stickers saying ‘Proud to be Canadian’ .” State governor Dixie Lee Ray also visited and Martin says of meeting Ray and Carter: “It was a real uplift Ni C and a boost we all needed by that time. “Trying to keep the show on the road 24 hours a day gets you down after a while and it really helped.” Martin has endless fales of the bizarre things that can happen when 150 people from every’ kind of background are _ sleeping together in a gymnasium. And though he says he'll go back there at a flash if the Situation worsens and he feels he’s needed, he looks back on the entire ex- penence of his adventure and chuckles: “The whole week was just totally nuts.” KEEP FIT LIONS GATE PLAY TENNIS, SQUASH, RACQUETBALL This 1S your Invitation to attend our Summer Funday June 8, 1 00-5:00 PM.
