Reeve Derry Boyle, noting that the hours on foot patrol were about the same as those spent in the cruiser, said he felt the policemen should spend more time on foot patrol in the winter when car jockeys are not a pro- blem. "I don't see them walking at night," he said. However, that didn't surprise committee chairman Wright, who told the reeve he wouldn't walk around the streets on winter nights either. Ross Taylor said he didn't know how the police put 40 miles a day on the cruiser and Joe Wooden explained that all they had to do was drive around Exe- ter twice in one day to accomplish that. The only other complaint reg- istered came from Wright. He recommended that a policeman be on duty in the down town area on Saturday afternoons. Chief MacKenzie said he would look after this request. 111111111111111111111111111 ----- 1111111 ----- 111111111111 lllllllllllll llllllll 11111 lllllllllllll 1111111 lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Miss Mildred Irene Walker, who spent her early years In Exeter, died in hospital at Ot- tawa on Monday, January 16.
