PLEASE BE ON TIMEI Cheif of Police Speaks at P.T.A. Meeting Meeting the guest speaker was a Chief of Police. Naturally his talk was on law enforcement. He brought out some very important facts that many of us dont stop to think about. We are the examples our children watch to learn the rules by. Do you ever, while shopping, decide you want to cross the street, and because you are in a hurry take your small child by the hand and walk across in the middle instead of going to the At a recent PTA intersection. Do you ever, with your children in the car, hurry through the intersection marked STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS when you see a pedestrian trying to cross. Do you ever just slow up at a stop sign, instead of coming to a full stop and looking both ways, then pull onto a main road and then yell at your children for darting into a street without looking. Do you, in the presence of your children, pick up a few grapes in a store and eat them or place some produce in a bag and eat while shopping and then punish your child when he picks up a piece of gum or candy without paying for it. If we make a habit of breaking little laws our children may make a habit of breaking a bigger law, their children even a bigger law and so on until the future generations will have no regard for any laws. Will you then wake up and say I dont know how this came about. Wio is to blame for what has happened?" Teach your children the importance of all law and to respect the policeman even though he is human and some of them even set bad examples. There is a lot of truth in the prose that Paul Harvey printed in his column. We show this by our daily conversations and actions as you will see when you read what he printed. Dont credit me with this mongrel prose; it has many parents .4 at least 420,000 of them: policemen. 4 A policeman is a composite of what all men are, a mingling of saint and sinner, dust and deity. 4J Culled statistics wave the fan over the stinkers, underscore instances of dishonesty and brutality because they are 'news". What that really means is that they are exceptional, unusual, not commonplace. Buried underneath the froth is the fact: less than .5 per cent of the policemen misfit that uniform. Thats a better average than youd find among clergymen. What is a policeman made of? He, of all men, is at once the most needed and the most unwant- Fmt . i ed. Hes strangely nameless creature who is sir" to his face and fuzz" behind his back. He must be such a diplomat that he can settle differences between individuals so that each will think he won. BUT- - If the policeman is neat, hes conceited; if hescareless, hes a bum. If hes pleasant, hes a flirt; if not, hes a grouch. He must make in an instant decisions which would require months for a lawer. BUT - If he hurries, hes careless; if hes deliberate, hes lazy. He must be first to an accident and infallible with a diagnosis. He must be able to start breathing, stop bleeding, tie splints and, above all, be sure the victim goes home without a limp. Or expect to be sued. The police officer must know every gun, draw on the run and hit where it doesnt hurt. He must be able to whip two men twice his size and half his age without damaging his uniform and without being brutal. If you hit him, hes a coward; if he hits you, hes a bully. A policeman must know everything - and not tell. He must know where all the sin is - and not partake. The policemen must, from a single human hair, be able to describe the crime, the weapon and the criminal - and tell you where the criminal is hiding. BUT - If he catches the criminal hes lucky; if he doesnt hes a a dunce. If he gets promoted, he has political pull. If he doesnt, hes a dullard. The policeman must chase bum leads to a dead-enstakeout 10 nights to tag one witness who saw it happen, but refuses to remember. He runs files and writes reports until his eyes ache to build a case against some felon wholl get dealed out by a shamless shamus or an honorable" who isnt. The policeman must be a minister, a social worker, a diplomat, a tough guy and a gentleman. And, of course, hell have to be a genius, for hell have to feed a family on a policemans salary. d, FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Each year dwelling fires are responsible for about 6500 deaths in the United States. What would you do if you heard the crackle of fire in your kitchen right now? What would you do if the smell of smoke awoke you in the middle of the night, while the rest of the family was sound asleep? and People who dont have plans ed to meet such emergency situations are risking their own lives and those of their loved ones, warns State Fire Marshal Robert A. Tanner. The first rule of safety from fire is ESCAPE, he says. Its important to get everyone out of the house at the first sign of fire. But unless there has been some advance thinking and planning, you may run into disaster instead of out to safety. For this reason during Fire Prevention Week, every family is urged to participate in an escape drill at their own home. Right now, take time to prepare a home life safety plan for your entire family, starting with two ways out of each bedroom, so there will be an alternate route if one is blocked by fire. Make sure each member of the household, including the children, knows exactly what to do in case fire strikes. More important, youll be ready if fire should strike your home.
