Neglect Charge Blamed on Insulin KITCHENER.â€"The Kitchener Police Commission was told last week how an insulin shock effects diabetics when it heard testimony %wen in defence of Constable A. Powell, charged with being abâ€" sent from the post while on duty. Dr. L. G. Lang said he had been treating Powell for some time and said the symptoms reported by the sergeants were similar to those caused by insulin shock. The commission members reâ€" served judgment in the case, but agreed that Powell should be asked to resign from the force since he is not in physical condiâ€" tion to carry on. * ‘ Sgts. Oscar Reick and Francis Caroll, told the commission that Powell disappeared down a side street and wasn‘t located for about two hours. When found he staggered and spoke in a confused manner. s C '?6Geli"iplea¢fed not guilty to neâ€" glect of duty, saying that it was the insulin shock which forced him to rest in a taxi office, sevâ€" eral blocks from where he was detailed to patrol. 0_ .

Five complete stations were in operaâ€" tion continuous for 24 hours supâ€" plied by emergency gas engine AC. generators. . Over 300 different amateur stations throughout Canada, Unitâ€" ed States and New Zealand wete contacted. Despite "he ubjections of Ald. Arnold Hauck, purchase of a gas welding ‘and a twoâ€"cylinder set for the city at a Cost of $228 was approved b council. Ald. Hauck said the purchase was unnecesâ€" sary. Ald..Heer pointed out Waâ€" terloo had consgera%le machineâ€" ry and time was a big factor if repairs were needed in a hurry. Council approved a recommenâ€" dation by Ald. H. E. Ratz, chairâ€" man of the fire and light commitâ€" tee, to install two additional fire hydrants on Bridgeport Rd.

Gordon Raymond (mee Settlement of $525 M, Ald. Frank Bauer, chairman of the sewer committee, recomâ€" mended at Monday night‘s council meeting that settlement of $525 for Gordon Raymond‘s claims be paid. Council adopted_ the recomâ€" mendation. The claim arose out of a dispute over damages to his property. The recommendation also stipuâ€" lates that the wester boundary be adjusted and established as the centre line of Laurel Creek. In fixing the boundary at the centre line of the creek, Ald. Donâ€" ald Roberts asked how this arâ€" rangement would work out with Mr. Raymond‘s solicitor. The latâ€" ter had asked that no boundary line be defined. Ald. Roberts said he was trying to avoid any furâ€" ther controversy. _ _ Ald. Bauer pointed out the reâ€" commendation was a proposed settlement. He felt the new proâ€" fiosal would be agreeable to Mr. aymond. May Bring Back Motorcycle Patrol To Aid Provincials Kitchener _ Provincial _ Police have no information regarding the announcement by Attorneyâ€" General Porter that motorcycle details would be re-introducex on some of Ontario‘s‘ more congested highways. _ â€" Police Chief Moreau said that several complaints had been reâ€" ceived about rifles ibeing fired within the city and that the police intended to lay charges in each case in the future. A Mount Forest spokesman for the Provincial Police said if the motorcycles are reâ€"introduced, it would seem that Kitchener would be a logical place. He added that nothing official had been heard. Mr. Porter said the mowrcgclc officers will augment the 325 Proâ€" vincial Police partol cars now operating throughout Southern ‘Ontarto. â€" One day last week four were shot by Constables Ed. Reiha and Clayton Frank. â€" ww 0 Chief Moreau said many lawns have been damaged by the pesky animals. A~ 17â€"yearâ€"old Waterloo youth paid a fine of $2 and costs to Waâ€" terlo police department Tuesday for firing a rifle within the city limits Monday night.

The (greviou.s day Constable Lorne Girling shot three. Most of the complaints are coming from Erb St. West and the Bricker Ave, area. â€" Lately it is becoming routine for the department to be called at all hours of the day or night to do away with skunks, he pointâ€" ed out. Waterloo Youth Fined For Shooting In City Limits Police Kept Busy By Waterloo Skunks Police Chief Moreau reports that Waterloo police are handling their share of skunks in the past few weeks. Mr. Eckel doubly prizes the ring as his wife now is deâ€" earthed the %old band while working in the garden. It is as shiny as the day it was lost.

Police said Wright was going north on King St., when he atâ€" tempted to pass a car and was in collision with the Kope car, which was travelling in the opposite diâ€" rection. No one was injured. _ Reception Chairman P. R.

The rapidlyâ€"expanding Rockâ€" m? Mennonite High School is adding a commercial department and a music and Christian workâ€" ers course to the school. Its enrolment increased from 39 that year to 83 during the past semester. Registration next fall is expected to reach 100. At that time a complete Junior High School course was underâ€" taken.

KITCHENER. â€" A resolution from Perth County Council reâ€" commending to the federal minâ€" ister of justice that long and short E‘rsi;on terms be cut in half and es substituted, last week, was referred back to finance commitâ€" tee of Waterloo County Council. Reeve Sims said it is his belief long prison terms only serve to harden criminals in their way of life. Lashes, on the other hand, would be a definite corrective measure and cut crime repeaters to a minimum About $800 damage resulted in a Snturdm]xr night car crash at King and Princess Streets, Waterâ€" loo Suggest Lashes Replace Jail Term Ald. Donald Roberts recomâ€" mended to Council Monday night that traffic lines be painted at the intersection of Erb and Albert Streets to present the idea of a "traffic island". He pointed out that the present traffic condition definitely was not good. â€" o Election Posters Removed From Posts in Waterloo Council agreed to have the mat ter looked into immediately _ City engineer E. W. Oke said it was quite possible to "work it out with paints and arrows." . A city bylaw prohibits bills of any description being postâ€" ed without the consent of the police chief. On orders of Police Chief Moreau, all election campaign posters in this city have been removed from posts on King St., as the result of comâ€" plaints from three sources. The chief decided to put a stop to all this complaining by having all the posters takâ€" en down. _ Originally someone comâ€" plained about the Conservaâ€" tive posters.

Most of these boys have had little or no practice with these %uns and would probably be just about as dangerous to any spectators that were standing around as they would be to the criminalâ€"in fact more so. To supplement the revolver, they have a blackjack which is carried in the rear pocket of their pants and which would probably be just as effective against a gunman enâ€" trenched in a house and equipped with a highâ€"powered rifie, as would the revolver they carry. ‘These men who are supposed to risk their hide if necessary, have no modern equipment at all such as highâ€"powered rifles, riot guns, tear gas bombs or smoke guns. They don‘t even have a radio in their patrol carâ€"thanks to the economy of Waterloo Council.

One other thing of interest, just in case Waterloo Council is deâ€" pending on the Provincial Police to dig them out of any deep spot they may get in, the local brancg of the Provincial Police HAV NO TEAR GAS BOMBS OR SMOKE GUNS EITHER.. Here‘s the whole thing in a nutâ€" shell as told to this reporter by John Munro, who is in charge of the Provincial Police detachment stationed in Kitchener. John is probably one of the few local offiâ€" cers who have seen modern police weapons in use against a crimâ€" inal. This was in Niagara Falls, one of the few Canadian cities whose police department is comâ€" pletely equipped. The gunman in this case was holed up in a house, had killed his wife and was threatening to kill his two chilâ€" dren. Small arms fire and even tear gas failed to dislodge him and it looked as though he would take a heavy toll of the police if they had to close in on him with only riflies and revolvers. Then one of the modern smoke guns was introduced in the attack and in a imatter of minutes the gunâ€" man was flushed from cover to be stopped ‘by a police bullet in his chest. After all the ordinary citizen owes these fellows who wear a uniform a certain amount of reâ€" spect and some sign of appreciaâ€" tion for the job they are now doâ€" ing. There is darn little ‘slory atâ€" tached to being a policeman. There are long monotonous hours and a smaller weekly pay than lots of office girls are getting. It we were employing a mechanic to look after cars, we would buy him the best of modern tools beâ€" cause we know that he can do a better, more efficient job with them. The policeman is in much the same position. The only difâ€" ference is that you are entrusting him with the care of your life an« your property, not just your autoâ€" mobile. The least we can do is give him. the _tools to wo‘rk with.
