Help Small Towns "It will be a great help controlling area crime," Chi Hutchinson said. "If each mu icipality takes part, we e know in a few minutes whe something happens in the d trict. We will be able to pl action we should take in o own towns." Chief Hutchinson said it w expected there would be provi cial assistance in establishing communications system. Th cost of each unit is estimate at $45. London Police Chief Ea Knight, chairman of the mee ing, said the group's expressio of opinion will be consolidate with those of other chiefs i every section of the provin and a committee of the Ontari Chief Constables' Associatio will then approach Attorney General Kelso Roberts to see i the Ontario government woul underwrite all or a part of th cost of setting up such a sy tem on a province -wide basis. A step that may have mo immediate results was the agree ment to pool information o known criminals that will b bulletined to all police depart ments in this area. Chief Hutchinson said Mimed iate steps were being taken t establish a bulletin service Chiefs in each municipality wil forward information to Londoi where it will be published i bulletin form. Eventual aim i that this bulletin would in tui be forwarded to a central point probably Toronto, where an -ov erall bulletin would be publish ed for distribution throughou the province. The meeting was the resul of a conference of the Chief Constables' Association and At torney General Roberts a North Bay several months ago At the conference, six zone or regional representatives were appointed to convene meetings to ascertain police problems in their respective areas. Toronto Interested "The attorney general has in- dicated he is very much con- cerned with the crime situation in Ontario," Chief Knight told the conference. "I think he would subscribe to anything we were convinced would be of value in apprehending crimin- als." Chief Knight is in charge of the area bounded by Windsor, Goderich, just west of Simcoe, and along Lake Erie. Stratford is not included, being part of the district centred in Kitchen. er. Chiefs attending the meeting were unanimous that the rapid exchange of information was the single most pressing need in crime prevention at the pres- ent time. Chief C. W. Farrow, of Wind- sor, explained the advantages of a teletype hookup to the group. He said that all departments could be notified immediately of an incident in any of the munic- ipalities. It would be especially valuable to small towns, he said, where the police station might be closed overnight. The teleprinter would Still be rui- ning and the message would be available in the morning. Information from Seaforth for inclusion in the proposed bude. tin is now being prepared, Chief Hutchinson said. e- in of n- an n is. an ur as n- a e d rl t- n d ce 0 n f d e s - re n e a 1 1 n s n t t t SEAFORTH, ONtARIO, T IJRSDAY, AUGT,TST 16, 1961 - - 10 -PAGES Hensall Sets New Tax Rate --Up Six Mills Mill rates were struck by Hensall Village Council at their August session Tuesday night. Residential rates this year will be 70 mills, and commercial 75 mills. This represents an increase in both rates of about six mills over last year.

The vehicle had been prepared far wreck- ing when upholstery in it caught fire. Monday morning Seaforth firemen were called to the Thamer Nursing Home, when a range caught fire. The blaze was quickly extinguished with hand extinguishers. Propane gas, escaping from a break in a line on a 1200 -gallon tank truck Friday afternoon, caused several Egmondville resi- dents a few anxious moments. While filling tanks at the residence of Mrs. McLeod, near Egvndville. United Church, the gas started fo escape. As the fog of gas neared homes in the area, the truck driver put in a call to the Seaforth rural fire brigade. The firemen played water on the fog, forcing it in- to an open field west of the McLeod house. The driver's main concern, he said, was that area residents be made aware of the danger and avoid lighting any matches or fires until the danger had sub- sided.
