It was another busy week here at 424 Squadron. We flew 10 missions with eight lives saved since our last article. On July 5, 424 Squadron responded to two ELT calls and two reports of crashed aircraft. The ELTs were false alarms and the two crashes resulted in Pay Yourself no injuries. On July 6, the squadron responded to a sinking boat and carried out a medevac from Algonquin Park. July 7-10 consisted of responses to per- sons in the water—fortunately all the people were safely found. Also on July First... 10 our Griffon rendered assistance to a boat on fire east of Montreal. Finally, on July 11, Rescue 317 responded to an ELT, but returned to base shortly after takeoff because there was no emergency situation. Painless Monthly Until next week, stay safe.

Ignore what everyone else is doing on the 20 - 22 and focus on what really counts. Manipulate your situation in such a way that you form a partnership or negotiate a new deal for yourself. It will be worth the time and effort spent. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Venturing out on the 16 and 17 will lead to spending more than you can afford and running into someone you should avoid.
