SAFE DRIVING

COOPERATING WITH
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

COOPERATING WITH
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Cooperation with the police depart
ment in enforcing the law is often
lacking on the part of local people.
The general public can do much toward
assisting the officers in carrying out
their duties. Any information given is
entirely confidential, and an officer re-
vealing the source Of his information
faces the loss of his job.
Often the department receives calls
from various parts Of the city report
ing speeding cars, but when an officer
is posted in the area to catch the
reckless drivers he rarely succeeds be-
cause the news of his presence seems
to travel remarkably fast.
The speeding problem has often been
temporarily solved by the presence Of
an officer, but it might be permanently
removed If the people residing In the
area would swear out complaints
against the reckless drivers.
For example, the department re-
Gently was asked to send an officer
to the Pioneer school where two cars
were reported racing around the school
square. When he arrived the cars were
gone, but the person making the COM
plant refused to consent to testify
against the speeders if they were
brought into court.
Occasionally a bicycle owner loses
his license temporarily because Of in
fractions Of the city ordinance govern
ing operation of bicycles. Some par
ents commend the department for its
action, but others have roundly scored
the department. for taking the bicycle
into custody. The latter parents, per-
haps unknowingly, are breeding dis
regard for the law in the fertile
minds of their children.
Business men can cooperate with
the department by seeing that their
business houses have proper locks or
the doors and that windows in thu
rear are barred. When an attempt al
burglary has been made, it should b.

valuable evidence may have been de

Only a short time ago the depart

several hours after the attempt ha,

evidence was available.
Business men will discourage burglar

Ford dealers today displayed 10
the public for the first time the
1912 models of Ford and Mercury.
The Ford was shown in three
lines, the Deluxe. Super Deluxe
and Special. The first two are
offered with tho six or eight engine
optional. The Special comes only
with the six cylinder engine.
Mercury has six body types and
eight color choices. The Liqumatic
Drive is optional equipment at
extra cost. This is a combination
of liquid coupling and a special
automatic transmission which will
compete with the General Motors,
Hydra-Matic and ChrySler's Fluid
Drive.
Both the Ford and Mercury are
lower and wider than before. New
frontal designs, recessed head
lamps and wider tenders give an
effect of greater streamlining.

features claimed for the 1912 Ford
