throughout the town and to pay
particular attention to those.
areas from which. the most
complaints occur.
"As I _pointed out to, His
Worship and Mr. Oke, despite
the apparent _need to petition ,,
council, against the noise, etc,
in your area, the police have
relatively few complaints from
that vicinity. Since • the police
department govern their
patrols to meet the demand.tas'"
determined by complainyo -I
stressed to Mr. Oke the impor-
tance of ccs -operation with ,
police in this regard." •
"Like am; police force, even a -
vast one,• like Metropolitan
Toronto; the police in Goderich
have to rely to a great extent on
the eyes and ears ,of the citizens
and their reporting of incidents
so that we may investigate
them.."'
Tlo •policeman• can be in two
places'at once, an4I to expect a
policeman to see everything
everywhere- is not realistic. Of-
ten when the Police' cruiser. or
uniformed officer is in the area
those Who have been making
the noise are no longer making
a noise and the officer can only
report "all quiet on my
arrival . _�•
"Insofar as the charge of
Causill., .a Disturbance is con-
c{erned, the law has decreed
that a policeman cannot' be
"disturbed", and, consequently,
the police have to obtain a 'wit-
ness before any charge can he
laid. If there is no witness for-
thcoming, or if that witness• is
reluctant to got() court t()
•
testify, then- the policeman can-
not clVarge and all' he can do is
to warn the, person Warnings
have little effect 00 some
of the nuisance -makers.
"This is why police can not
always .take the action which.
might deter the„ individual.
These things Are,. of course, in
the realm • of the courts and
police have no control over the
situation.
"Then thane is the. fact that
when a charge is kaki and a .
conviction is registered in court
that the offender i, treated too
lightly t0 act as any deterrent
to himself or to others. Again,
police have no control of court
dispositions,, This also lessens
the effectiveness of police. for
the individual, know that if a
charge is, laid that, at tnotit;-`it
means paltry fine.
•
. "(c,ntrary to the belief uf_
sorer people, it is: not _ necessary
to ; ve your name or address
w en contacting police with a
complaint. I have been infor-
med by 'Mr.' Oke that this fact •
has `deterred' some of you
telephoning police,
"You have shown that you
are concerned citizens by taking
the to prepare or sin the
petition. I respectfully asl that
you also take the time to con-
tact police should you he
disturbed or see any suspicious
incident.- We are here tc) serve
you but we do need the
assistance of your eyes, your
ears and your finger in the dial
of the telephone. 524-83:3:1•"

resulting in a lack of volunteer
workers.

hospitals about $20,000 in
equipment and Many hours of

Most hospitals ^•-pow receive
almost 100 per cent of their '
funds from the. province, Dr.
Walker said. Volunteers,should
not feel that district ifealtf•i.
