As part of Police Week, the
Exeter police department has
announced the winners of a safe
driving award and essay contests
for elementary school students.
Bill Van Bergen of town was
named the safest driver of the
week. The essay title was "Police
Protect People" Dorothy Van
Esbroeck was the winner at
Precious Blood separate school
and Suzanne Patterson's essay
was judged best at Exeter public
school. The two essays follow:
By Dorothy Van Esbroeck
Police protect people, a
common quotation seen on pins in
the past few weeks is a sign that
people are thankful for town and
provincial police in their area.
The police whether they are men
or women are doing a very im-
portant job. They protect the
people of the area in which they
work.
"Police protect people" means
that the people who enforce the
laws, investigate crimes, make
arrests and keep order, shield
from harm or guard men, women
and children. But this long
sentence I have just quoted is a
passage from the dictionary.
Unless you have been in a
situation where the police have
protected you, you do not know or
realize how important and
protective they are. The police
may catch you speeding, but they
are only doing their job, They
have to protect the other people
on the road, for an accident may
be caused, because you were
going too fast.
Some people say that police do
not protect them but just
distribute fines and tickets. Well
if you really think about it, those
are the people who should he
thankful the police do protect
people, for the police have
arrested the criminals who might
do harm to these critics.
I suggest you remember the
police are doing a good job.
Nobody is perfect but the police
surely protect people, at least my
family any how.
By Suzanne Patterson
"Police". Does it ring a bell?
Of course, you hear it everyday;
but did you ever stop to think how
Police protect people? Actually
we take the police force for
granted.
Going away? Just phone the
police up and ask them to check
your house once in awhile. Dog of
cat lost? The police will find it,
Police really do help us in
everyday living.pnce my dad got
a ticket. At first. he. was very
angry, but then he thought, "I
could have injured someone by
speeding. I guess the police were
protecting me as well as others."
You may think the police have
no right to stop you when you
were just. a little bit over the.
speed limit, but actually they
were helping you protect others
as well as yourself.
What would it be like if there
were no police force to protect
you and your property. Think
about it for a minute. Why you
would have to have everything
nailed down or locked up
securely.
Think about it. It all adds up to
"Police Protect People."
Exeter police

Accidents in the bathroom can be
prevented if a few precautionary
measures are taken. A well-
anchored grab bar placed beside
the bathtub is a handy aid when ;
stepping out of a wet tub,
suggests St., John Ambulance.
Traction mats or rubber strips in
bathtubs and showers are useful
devices to avoid painful falls.
