"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•" Shipping strike aralizes harbor A strike by about 475 deck . officers and 401) ship engineers against -the' Canadian Lake Carriers • Association' (CLCA) has almost paralyzed '.shipping on the St: Lawrence Seaway .and. the Great Lake'; including ` Goderich harbor, ° • Spokesmen Lor. tie• tw•O com- panies that depend most upon „ lake trcighterS for shippig r goods out , 1 •'Goderlt h• said no vessels hAVe' come into the har- .bor since the. strike began last Thursday•`° , • Y'A spokesman for Gcad'erich Elevator said that operations ' there are normal except no ship ha'e hrc light 'in any grain - ' Grain,, is arriving hovyever, by truck and rail At 'the , Sifto Salt Mines nothing has been shipped.
