Letters to the Editor
HOME AND SCHOOL
When the student gave the
history of .the old Collegiate,
with a casual mention of
Vocational Training, and
permission for senior Public
School boys to attend I thought
of hundreds of cookies, , pies,
cakes, etc., sold and the hours
that were spent in rehearsing
plays, to raise money to buy
materials to get it started, and
the Collegiate Board didn't make
a move until they saw what a
help it was. For years we worked
to point out the value of needles
against diphtheria when parents
didn't like the idea. Now it's
taken for granted.
We had the first opportunity
class for slow learners which
carried on later with help tor
retarded children,
It took time to get aschool
nurse, took time to get school
, libraries in the county schools,
to get electric light in some,
clean drinking water, and
recreation:
Optometrists examined
children's eyes, doctors helped
with talks on health, public
speaking brought out talents
• worth, discovering.
Five programs on school
topics, and names of- municipal
and ,county officials were
_interesting. Now everything
comes easily (except when the
bills have to paid).
There was an item in the
paper recently about the day
they tried to get a County
Health Unit, but it was years
before it came, and we were
happy also about it.
Was looking over the notes I
made at the time; and was saying
that so many who worked hard •
never lived to see the result of'
their labours, but I had hoped
that some day in years to come,
credit for so many beginnings
will go to those who planned
and worked so hard to convince -
the powers that be, that they
were good.
I couldn't mention names as
so many helped, but it was done
cheerfully,, and the • County
Board of Education have a big
piece of work ahead of them.

SAFETY CONTEST
Our 1969 Elmer Summer
Safety Contest is over and from
our viewpoint of reaching
thousands of children with a
safety message during school
holidaSis; it was a resounding
success.
The volume of mail received
this year has far exceeded that
o any previous contest.
We wish to thank you
sincerely for participating and
for your generous contribution
of public service time. Without
your generosity it would • be
financially impossible to
conduct this contest.
We hope you will join us again
next year.
Sincerely,
Glenna Breau,
Supervisor,
Child Safety Programs.

cink ins
frauds
Staff Superintendent James L.
Erskine:. of the. O.P.P.
Anti -Rackets Branch, reports a
recurrence of "bank inspector
frau ds". this, year.
In past years, thousands of
dollars have been taken from
trusting and unsuspecting elderly
persons throughout Ontario by a
scheme we commonly call "bank
inspector frauds". Investigations
have indicated that a a great
number of criminals practice
. several variations of this scheme.
arrests, prosecution is very
difficult because the "voice on
the telephone" cannot be
identified, and the "pick-up
man" appears only for a few
moments at the elderly person's
door.
Any time during banking
hours of a weekday, the
telephone may ring in an average
middle-class home - usually that
of ,an elderly widow. The male
caller, in a very business -like and
authoritative manner, will
identify himself as either a
"bank official" or a member of
the Police Department, presently
investigating a. dishonest bank
employee suspected of
tampering with the customer's
account. The caller will then, in
a very persuasive tone, obtain
from the victim information
concerning the amount • of
money on deposit in her
account. He will then request
that she go to the bank and
withdraw a substantial sum of
money from her account. As
part of the scheme, the victim is
advised that in making • this
withdrawal, she will assist in
'trapping the dishonest
,
employee; she will • also be ,
advised not to tell anyone. The
caller. may offer to pick her up,
send .a taxi, meet her at a
pre -determined reficlezvOusi or
imply that* she may have
received,counterfelt money in a
recent withdrawal and he will
take and examine it for her. If
she expresses doubt that the. ,
caller is a police officer or 'a '
bank official, he will tell her to
hang. up and call, however,, he
•will keep her line open by not ,
*hanging -1i rrand-wheirthe -dials;---
he will answer accordingly. -
Bank inspectors or police
officers do not under any
circumstances ask persons to
withdraw money from the bank.
Any *person approached under
these or similar conditions,
should call their local police
department on a neighbour's
telephone. -
This .scheme has been used
with increasing regularity in
cities and rural communities
across Canada and the United
States. Thousands of dollars
have been taken frorn trusting
and unsuspecting elderly people,
which they can ill afford to lose;
in some cases their life savings,
and perhaps money they have
put aside for their own funeral
expenses.
Relatives and friends of
elderly people should impress
upon them that they should
never - under any circumstances
withdraw money from their
bank accounts, when
approached in ,the manner
outlined in this article. They
should always consult the police,
or their bank manager
personally.
