SEARCH AND RESCUE
Private Parties Discouragecl Private parties should not leave on unofficial search and rescue parties, Senior-Ser-geant E. H. Clark told the annual scouters’ conference on Saturday. The searchers could easily get into difficulties themselves, he said. The police should be told immediately if there was reason to believe that anyone was overdue, he added The Search and Rescue Organisation would then be alerted if necessary, and competent private parties could work in conjunction with the organisation. Persons who went into the mountains should give their relatives details of where they intended to go. said Mr Clark. Sometimes the organisation had started a wide search for people who were perfectly safe in some area well away from where the search was taking place.
