Located in a commanding po- sition on Highway No, S, at the eatrance to the Goderieh busi- ness district, the building's de- sign is both striking and un- usual. .The interior of the graceful- ly modern building will be completely visible from We ex- terior. Three curved limestone walls, laid out in a triangular pattern, will appear to float over a 7'6" high continuous, double-glazed, pluminu rn- framed window. Between the curved stone walls, at the points of the tri- angle, the glazing will run from the floor to a 13-font high ceiling,. Above these high win- dows, a deep granite fascia will link the curved stone •• walls. So that the friendly transparency of the building is not destroyed, glazed walls are used to divide We offices from the main savings department. Privacy will be insured by soft, handwoven curtaining.

Citizens can help police in three ways, says Patrol Sgt. Saunders, Both police and public would benefit if witnesses realized the importance of the tiniest and supposedly most trivial scrap of information, For in- stance, knowing the age and sex of the driver can be in- valuable to police, Some witnesses could help a lot more if they would write down what they see, especially licence. numbers which are harder to remember than people think, Witnesses should not disturb the scene of the accident and should prevent others from do- ing so until police arrive. Bits of glass, paint or metal are invaluable to police when turn- ed over to laboratory scientists for examination. For instance, scientists can tell from a sliver of glass, left at the accident scene, whether police should be looking .for a North American or European car and perhaps the make of car. with his paper.
