Photograph of fire chief Aubrey Creed points to the small but important switch control box that activates the civil defense air raid warning sirens. Last week the Nechako signal was accidentally tripped at the BC Telephone office, the alternative activating point, at 4:30 am the siren blared for a few seconds, arousing several residents in the neighborhood.

From the years 1953-1958, Mike Kinnear took photos during his school years, until graduation, while working for Fred Ryan Ltd. after school and holidays. Photos for him was a hobby, and he took many photos of the smelter and townsite as it grew around him. Mike also took a number of photos for the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, during the Ken Brumley and Pixie Meldrum years as editors. Mike and his family left Kitimat in 1958, but he spent the best part of 40 years in the photographic field, mainly in the retail/wholesale part of the photo industry.
