OPP speaker at C of C meet
Merchants
A film and a talk on the
problem of shoplifting was
presented at the April
meeting of the Zurich
Chamber of Commerce,
Thursday.
The talk was given by
O.P.P. Constable Eric
Goose, community services
officer for the Huron County
area.
The film outlined the social
problems of shoplifting and
emphasized parental
responsibility in teaching
children about the crime.
The film noted that ap-
proximately 15 percent of the
cost of goods sold went to pay
for merchant's losses due to
shoplifting.
Constable Gosse said he
had worked with the RCMP
in setting up security
systems at Eaton's and
Times -Advocate, April 7, 1982
advised of anti -shoplifting tactics
Simpson's in Toronto.
The hardware department
in Simpson's was having
problems with large, ex-
pensive items being stolen
from their hardware
department. Constable
Gosse and another officer
observed a known shoplifter
stealing a large polisher by
hiding it under her hooped -
skirt.
They followed the woman
and began talking to her.
Constable Goose said while
they talked the woman
started to sweat and after
the officers continued the
conservation she dropped
the machine.
The community services
officer noted large stores
such as Simpson's In Toronto
have a room where up to five
employees cankeep a
television surveilance on the
store.
Pictures of shoplifting
suspects can be taken from
the T -V cameras and voices
of shoplifters discussing
plans can be recorded the
constable said.
In a small store the clerk's
eyesight is often the only
protection Constable Gosse
said. He advised shop
owners to keep shelves low
so they cavi be seen over and
suggested the merchants try
to break up groups of
customers.
He noted stores in
Goderich and Exeter limit
the number of students who
can enter at one time. He
said that often two boys and
a short girl will enter a store
and while the boys are being
observed, the girl hidden
behind the shelves will steal.
Constable Goose said a
film the O.P.P. used to show
to groups (parts of which
were shown on a recent Fifth
Estate program) actually
taught school children
proven methods of stealing.
The film has been replaced
Constable Gosse said.
The officer advised
merchants to let suspects
leave the store before they
are apprehended. He noted
that if a customer is stopped
in the store they could
simply say they forgot to
pay.
igh priced Items can also
be marked with an O.P.P.
anti -theft number Constable
Gosse added. He said that
some stores charge an extra
dollar for the number,
considering it a service to
the customers.
A similar ,number can also
be put on children!; bicycles
and other items to
discourage theft.
Computer price codes on
products can be set up to ring
an alarm if the tag is not
neutralized when paid for,
the officer noted.
"When people can't afford
something, they steal," the
constable said noting that
when the economy is down,
shoplifting is up.
Pumps busy with Varna floods
By Mary Chessell
Varna
The winds of the past
weekend picked up another
layer of topsoil from the bare
ploughed fields. The snow is
quite dirty, and so are the
windows. Several homes in
the village had a problem
with water backing up their
drains last week and some
had to have their septic
tanks pumped. Let's hope
the drains are running freely
when this new snow melts.
It's four feet deep in our back
yard again.
Quilts on display
The Varna area ladies who
took the Department of
Agriculture quilting course
had an excellent display of
their winter's work at the
Summary Night in Clinton
last Wednesday. -

talked to us about the judging
competition and the 4-11 ex-

we all tried to use out' brains
tocome up with ideas. Then
it was decided we'd like to
have a float in the fair, so our
heads were used again and
some good ideaswcretliongfit
up.

Rood for the village as it
attracted many people to
the area.
Mike O'Connor, chairman
of the local business trade
committee said his com-
mittee could look into the
situation if there was enough
interest in the project. He
said that of the people he had
talked to, about half the
vendors were interested and
half were not.
It was suggested the
market to could be altered to
become a flea market but
that there may be problems
attracting vendors.
Customers could easily
travel to two or more flea
markets in the area, but it
was reasoned vendors would
have to stick with one
location.
The local business trade
committee will look into the
situation.
