Officers Nalder and Mottishaw with the part time help of a third man, Way-nar- d Bennett, make up the police department of Layton City. This community of nut persons is fast gaining a reputation for being a quiet town at the hands of these men. Their speed and efficiency have gained them the respect of teenagers and others who have had to be "reminded by them that the rights of others must be protected. 8:15 p.m. Officer Mottishaw, drying west on Gentile, spots an automobile failing to stop for a stop sign. His job is to control traffic and make the city's roads safe by stopping those who fail to obey the law. This drier gets a warning. We try to give at least 5 warnings for each ticket, says Officer Mottishaw, because we believe most drivers need only a suggestion from us that they are not driving safely. If the driver is stopped again, he will get a ticket with a fine attached. Brian added. If the offense is drunk driving, an extra fast speed, etc., there will be no warning, of course. An officer must use his own judgment whether or not a warning w'ill be sufficient control, and when a fine or even jail is necessary. 8:80 p.m. An automobile is spotted Gentile with no tail crossing Main at lights. He is stopped and informed that his car is not safe for driving until the lights are repaired. A small item, but it may have prevented an accident. 8:35 p.m. The car ahead is swerving from side to side. The officer suspects a drunken driver, the menace of the highways. The red light goes on and he is stopped. Faulty steering is to blame this time. The driver is sent on his way after his car has been checked out through the sheriffs office for proper registration and ownership. Officer Mottishaw likes to keep moving while patroling the community, and as a result professional criminals will more than likely give the town a wide berth. They like an officer they can depend upon to be in a certain place at a certain time. In addition to controlling traffic on Main Street (Highway hi) the Layton police car has in its confines Highways V.i, Ih.'l, lo, s and 193, as well as the streets and avenues of the community, 8:40 p.m. Brian picks up Officer Bennett for a special detail. They have to question three boys in connection with the theft of a speaker from the Davis Drive-in- . They call at the home of one of the boys, who in lives Kaysville, and he is brought to the car for questioning: How old are you, Officer Bennett quizzes. 15." that were you guys up to the the other night? When. The night you got in trouble. Dont know what you're talking about, the boy squirms about in the back seat, wondering just how much the two policemen do know. Who was with you at the drive-i- n the other night? Couple of guys. Who? The youth finally comes forth with the names of the two other boys with him. The other guys are in the house. Do you want me to go in and get them? We want to talk to you first. Now you might as well tell us all about it. What did you do at the drive-i- n the other night. "Well we took a speaker . . . but not on purpose. I was asleep in the front seat when the show ended. One of the guys in the back said, lets go. And I drove off, forgetting the speaker. It broke off. Why didnt you take it back? Officer Mottishaw- asks. Dont know. Too scared I guess. Where is it now, Mottishaw questions again. In my car. Go get it. ... Cant. Why not? I have it mounted. You mean to say you accidently took the speaker, but now- you have Bennett it mounted in your car. You weren't planning takes over. to use it when you took it? The questioning continues. Finally the youth confesses to everything and he is sent to dismount the speaker while the other two boys, waiting Each in the house, are questioned. boy, as the first, denies at first having anything to do with the theft, and then finally admit it. Brian to all three boys: Now-- boys, this is want we want you to do. Go out to the manager of the theatre and make it good with him. And be sure to tell your fathers about this. Will you? And lets not have anymore trouble from you. Okeh? All three at once, Thanks, you wont hear from us again. And they probably wont. One of tut- things that makes us most depul tment for 2'j years.
