Page 4 ; Wednesday, January 1, 1974 Glamorous Outside. Advice The recson advanced by Sidney Mayor Stan Dear — and supported by Ald. Gordon Uren and Pat Merrett, -plus Ald. elect Hugh Hollingworth — for exclusion of the press from Monday’s meeting with management con- sultants Woods, Gordon & Co., was that discussion would deal with matters of personnel. And, on the surface, that sort of reason might be _ readily accepted. Certainly, the report did discuss job definitions and possible changes in workload within various positions in the municipal hall, and one might expect that at some point during the meeting specific personnel might come ‘in for specific comment. But that wasn’t all the report was about. It’s also concerned with possible addition to the existing town hall, and with proposed addition of.a new staff member; both matters that might well deserve a public airing. And there exists as well — or ought to, we believe — another unstated reason for not wanting too much publicity on the report, the decision to order it and its final contents. ; That reason, we suggest, is plain old-fashioned em- barassement: Embarassement, once the report was handed down, at having fallen once again for the glamour of the big city ‘consultant’, when the subject ‘under review was so simple, so basic. It’s too bad the late Fred Robinson wasn’t there, he’d have told them what they were doing before they ever got started and it wouldn’t have cost $2500. Reduce Crime by Sgt. A.R. Tomlins . Sidney Detachment, - = RLC.M.P. Asa result of the present unsettled economic climate and high inflation, attacks on business and private establishments are on the increase. The lengthened winter nights have traditionally fostered increased activity by the criminal element in the areas % of safe attacks and other related offences. This condition is now = being compounded by high unemployment and costs and has placed‘a‘heavier burden on Police Forces across the country. * Criminal activity of this nature normally is:‘highest between : the night hours of 10 p.m. through to 4.a.m. and is directed at any ; ‘establishment where it can be expected to obtain a satisfactory = return to compensate for the risk taken. Although patrols and property checks have been intensified by the Sidney Detach- ment, greater success would be experienced in preventing acts 3 of this nature if merchants and the public at large were more # aware that their cooperation with the police is vital if our Ba present crime prevention programme is to be of mutual benefit. Ey Merchants are asked to keep their cash on hand to a # minimum, making nightly deposits with. their local banks whenever possible. By keeping the interiors of premises well lit, a big step is taken in discouraging break-ins, as the risk of = detection is increased. Stealth is the criminals hallmark' and % when confronted. with a. well lighted establishment, criminals % are more apt to reconsider their plans. = Private dwellings are also vuncrable and home-owners should take the time out to see that all of their door locks and window # latches are functioning properly. Don’t leave sums of money around and, if possible, compile an inventory of all valuable articles, paying attention tothe recording of serial numbers and * other identifying features and marks. In the event that your property is violated, complete descriptions of articles taken can often lead to the apprehension and conviction of the persons responsible, as well as the return of the property. The police cannot function without the cooperation of the general public. It is your laws we are enforcing and your property and safety we are working to protect. Lack of your support in these ventures is in fact support for those who possess no respect for the rights of others, namely, you the law abiding citizen. Should you have cause to observe what you believe to be a & suspected criminal activity or suspicious person, please contact : the local detachment of the RCM Police by, telephoning 656-3931 or 388-3771, Your involvement as a citizen may prevent a crime, The prevention of crime is not the sole responsibility of the Police, it is the responsibility of us all, As citizens of Canada we are all charged with this duty and with greater cooperation from you the citizen, an extremely heavy burden resting on the : shoulders of we the police, cannot help but be made lighter, B 4 (AR RRRRRARR RS OCCA SS Sa Sa SSP SSHMM S “e 3 ‘ ae = oe : s : 3 bes ee Ry x 3 Ps eee ee cece cecetererets IOI "a"e"e"s CK OIY nee*.°. roteletetetetetetetetere!

Yes I do indeed! T feel someone is trying to tell me something everytime I go into our local safeway store and have to turn almost every damn can or package around to see what the hell I’m buying! I expect any day now to see the boys stamping Franc’s instead of dollars and cents: on the mer- chandise, and I have this horrible re-occuring nightmare doctor in which I am walking around the Store clutching a fistfull of franc notes in one grubby little paw and an English-French dictionary in the other, (I'll probably get hell now for putting the word French, last.) I know most of the staff in the store, and they are wonderful, helpfull people, but could one of. them be a secret member of the F.L.Q. who goes around in the dead of night, turning everything French side out? ‘Or is it on or- ders from the. “Hill?

Leven hear tell that in that far off mecea called Esquimalt they have erected a sign at an in- tersection with the word. “arrett” which I believe is Freneh for “Proceed ye not beyond this point" or words to that effect, T wonder how many _ people have gone through it whiist in the process of translation! . (Come to think of it, that's the word a little French Miss [ onee knew used to yell at > me everytime T whispered naughty suggestions in her car, “arrett- arrett" she would seream, and I thought she was saying “all-right - allright", No wonder T got my face slapped!) And now T hear that my simple little brain is going to have to struggle with the metric system, With all due respect to our French speaking people, 1 don't want to have to learn French. 7 have enough trouble trying to “Learn English proper" (see what T mean) After all, 1 don't. insist that everyone must speak to me in Mnglish only, and you don't hear N SWEEP doesn’t seem to hold an ease on a craft store floor near Brentwood. the indian. people’s who, remember are the .only true Canadians, insist that all comers to this country speak Salish, do “you? oe ‘When general De Gaulle, had the gall, ( a little pun there) to holler ‘‘vive.
