Harvey Ra.tz EXETER - The Town Police have confirmed the Kid Check pro- gram is set for Saturday November 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Exeter Public School. The program, operated by Child Find of Huron County, is aimed at creating records which could be ac- cessed by police and other law en- forcement agencies in the case of missing children. Parents can bring in children of any age to take advantage of the program. They will receive a pack- age of forms they can fill out with detailed information about their child. Children must be accompa- nied by a parent in order to be fin- gerprinted. The resulting informa- tion is kept at home, but can be— released to police should a child go, missing. Children under two years of age will have their feet printed. Chil- dren over two will have their hands printed. Police chief Jack Harkness said the package is ideal in the event of a missing child emergency because distraught parents will be able to provide police with. information and details they may not otherwise remember at a time of crisis. Harkness said he isn't sure how many Huron County parents will bring in their children to take part in the program, but he said its intro- duction is timely in light of the summer 1990 attempted abduction of a six-year old girl in town and the recent abduction investigated -and by police last month. Kid Check is open to all children in the Exeter area. To the Voters of Stephen Township A very sincere THANK YOU for all your support.
