During the week of January
1 to January 7, the Exeter de-
tachment of the Ontario Pro-
vincia' Police investigated 13
occurrences, along with five ac-
cidents, in which there were no
injuries reported.
The detachment issued 28
warnings under the Highway
Traffic Act, and ;aid seven
charges under the same act.
There were no charges laid un-
der the Liquor Control Act,
and only one under the Crimi-
nal Code.
During the one-week period,
there was a total of 55 hours
spent on highway patrol, and
1,502 miles were travelled.
This week I would like to ad-
vise people, particularly the
older people, to be ori their
guard against phoney bank in-
spectors, telephoning and ad-
vising older citizens to with-
draw a large sum of money
from their account and turn it
over to the "suppose -to -be bank
inspector" outside the bank.
The reason given is they are
going to niark the money and
catch a bank teller that they
suspect of stealing from their
account.
The older people are prom-
ised a large stun of money if
they are successful in charging
a bank teller. Occasionally
money is given to these men
outside the bank and that is
the last the owner sees of their
money, or the phoney bank in -
