SUGGESTS DECENTRALI7�IN ' ,O.P.P.•. (The Paisley Advocate) . Last , wek, ` Paisley , had its first out- , • break of : destructive ` vandalism.. Every ..effort should be made and:'every deterrent used to:. make it the last and . only one." The ' news " columns. this'.. week carry • the story , ofdamage done to ' new and .used . motor • vehicles at a ' local garage.. Hundreds • of dollars ::damage was 'created, for—no :apparent reason- other" than`': the satisfaction of an urge -to destroy property: Up, until : this series of incidents, . ' the lage had been singularly free from such outrages, ',although—scores. 'of cases have. been reported elsewhere, some nearby. An • insurance 'claims adjuster. investigating the local case related . an instance' .in Toronto recently where, . over $:1500 damage in. broken windshieldswas wrought on one Garr lot by • vandals: . The .incident *here points .up • the need for increased police protection ' in the vil- lage. ; lt''s • ridiculous too expect a .'local part- time. police; officer, to'' provide adequate service: ; .Afttr, carrying... out "the ' manifold duties of town supervisor during the .. ay, cen � to- expect t. him to� t�:is : unreasonable p spend his nights on . police duty though he is on call 2 4 hours ' a . day. What 'is needed in Paisley and ' other. small towns: and ' villages is • a full -tithe' officer: His: -primary duty probably -would, be ' to •'apprehend.the lawbreakers, but, ev en 'more 'important' would be the deterring influence his presence would have on po, tential violators: But .the cost of maintain- ing. 'even a pne-man'. police force presents a financial problem for such centres. Some time ago, the Village of:. Lucknow inves- tigated the cost of a policeman, and found it represented over five mills on the tax rate • We've been over this before, but we're '' going to ;repeat -the small muni -a` icipalities deserve increased service', from the provincial police, which—can only be' provided ' by decentralization of' the pre sent detachments. At present, there are attached ,.to .the 'Walkerton office, we be, •'1i -eve,- nine' or ' 10 constables -under a corporal.. It is. , very' -';:doubtful ; if ..the : ef- • ficiency : of this'• unit would be reduced if the members wer a dispersed ' through. 91earea under . its• jurisdiction: Thea outlying areas' certainly could' be ' ' moreeffectively served;:. and'.the individual officers be in almost. constant . touch with the. Walkerton - office by radio 'Art officer could -be available immediately when 'need- ed,. rather than ;having to drive 15 miles or farther, • arriving : after his . quarry .. has ".Since • it wasthe first such'.'occurrence. there is little 'doubt' that the damage, done here last week. was the first offence for the perpetrators: And it is : a reasonable and safe assumption that they might have. deemed' the escapade 'too risky if they had known there was a provincial' eon- stable ziearby. • Prevention of crime . isas much'. a part of the duty .'of the police as is detection. 'And ` in., any case, ;a• police- man on the; :scene, is worth . nine; 15 miles away, • will receive .from this new. industry will far overshadow the ;initial outlay: "This" is .just another example 'of what a :town can accomplish whenenough interested parties get 'togther to back a• project that' they know will aid' ,the en tire municipality." • A` cq nmunity Shower; was held at the Kairshea Hall. on Friday in honour of Miss Gladys Graham, daughter of • Mr, and Mrs; Douglas Graham• ',whose marriage will .take place on Sa- turday. . • .• Mrs Ted.
