Mitchell re- ported this week "it's pos- sible" that the air patrols be- ing established by the Ontario Provincial Police may come into this area. However, the helicopter pat- rols are expected to be main- tained primarily along major Ontario highways. Police hope to detect any erratic driving from their lofty perches and report same to cruisers on the highways. Some highways will also be marked so the officers in the airplanes will be able to determine the speed of cars below them. The innovation in traffic con- trol and observation is being initiated in an effort to reduce the mounting traffic toll. By MRS. L.
