One is that the RCMP de- tachment hired to police the city, IS men in summer, I4in winter, had a reasonably busy vear. There were mgre complaints lodged and investigated. There were more police court cases, there were more inci- dents involving liquor. They attended more fires, 13] to 59 in 1956 and discovered in foot patrols that more business men had been enreless about leaving their premises locked, ~ The other feature of the report was that apart from two holdups, 2 seattering of break-ins, theft and hootlegging cases. Prince Rupert was largely free from major crime in 1957. For this the public oWes members of the RCMP a heart-felt. vote of thanks. Theirs is not an enviable job. When they are handing out parking tickets, staging a check-up ater road block or enforcing the law in general, policemen are not very popular, With some people they are never very popular but to the law-abiding citizen the police are the first people they call when théy ave in trouble or their rights have been abused. Despite their stern and apparently emotionless mien policemen are usually most sympathetic to people in trouble. They stand by to prevent vandalism at fires and disasters and they do a great many unpleasant tasks associated with the sordid life entailed in deal- ing with criminals. In the bigger cities and alsu here they stand ready to give their Hyves to protect the public, ” These are Just a few thing for members of pub- lie to ponder when they sce a constable trying doors om Third Avenue, stopping a speeder, racing’ behind the Post Oftice the fire truck or handing out a parking ticket. f Overseas Duty Gets Rougher HOSE who fear that Canadians are turning into a . Nation of softies will find some support for their views in recent item in The Beaver, publication of the 4th “Canadian: Brigade Group at Soest, West Germany. 7 * Article in The Beaver tells of what it rightly calls a new luxury for servicemen—that of sleeping ingon Sunday morning with the assurance that they wil not have to go hungry until lunchtime. Now, it seems, soldiers who rise later can look forward to eétting “brunch” anytime between 9 a.m, and noon. This mid-morning snack includes grapefruit or to- mato juice, cges, ham, bacon, liver, hamburger, po- tatces, peas, toast, j Jam, marmalade, tea, coffee and milk. What The Beaver doesn't say is whether De- fehce Headquarters at Ottawa has plans for serving breakfast in bed to servicemen overseas, . —The Letter Review, ' fi f CAR uf im a if ) i w HEADS PARTY GROUP -. ret tome nnn Nouglus Jung, member — of ' Partinment for Vancouver fenter, is conpratulated by Prime Minister Diefenbaker on hs election as president of the Young Propressive Con~ Servillves Aysoclation. = My.
