and syrup, and green and red jello
with that white swirl on top to
slow it down the throat passage
and give it landing gear. Emma and
Percy dined and gazed into each

Percy claims it survived due to giv-
ing.

NOTICE
TO ,ALL
RESIDENTS
OF THE TOWN OF EXETER
POLICE -SERVICES
The Town Council and the-Police;Servioeta:Board have request-
ed that an "QtP.P. Costing" be uldertaken.by the -Provincial
Govemment. The Rim is to opnsider contraoting.with,the Onta-
rio Provincial Police to provide for-EMater's policing reeds.
It is important to be clear on a number of points.at the outset:
1.. The-1royrtcitand ftliCeiverVigesilaani_I e-the.:Ra
sition that effective police services must be provided in the
future -whether a contract is entered -into for O.P.P.-covermge
or whether a municipal police force is retained. Full police
services will, of course, continue to be provided by the Town
police force while that matter is being considered.
2. The goal of the Council and Board is to provide -an effective
and proper level of policing for Exeter et the best possible
cost to the ta4payer. A preliminary review of information on
policing, suggests. that O.P,P. coverage may be more cost-
effective than maintaining Our own polite force. At this
stage, the intention is to analyze the options available to the
Town.
3. Our concern for the officers has been addressed. There will
be a place for uniformed personnel with the O.P.P. and civil-
ian staff must also be treated fairly and equitably.
The process to.consider.an O.P.P. costing proposal an take ti
number of months -and will include opportunity for free and
open discussion with the aenersi public.
the level of police services, whether under O.P.N. contract or
through a municipal force, remains the responsibility of the lo
cel level of government.
