COMMUNITY ATTITUDE IMPORTANT

H ISLAND IS still talking, and will be for a long time,
about the infamous crime which took place here over a week
ago. And because of that crime our citizens have been made
aware of much that needs to be done. AS in all cases of emer-
gency there were those who pushed to the front, took voIun-
tary action and thus endeared themselves to the community
for their unseHish acts and attitudes: Names such as Rasmus-
sen, Merrill, Holland, Plaskett, Gerard, Canegata lloyd,
Farrelly, and many others too numerous to mention( come to
mind as these citizens, determined to do something, quickly
joined with the law enforcement officials and headed on a
search.

WHAT is NEEDED now S a continued attitude of civic
responsibility, SO that the criminal may be brought to Justice,
an example set, and his punishment serve as a deterrent to fur
Their crimes. 1t is true that in a small place everybody knows
everybody else, and that suspicion will undoubtedly be cast
in directions which cause CONSERVATION, yet this should not
prevent nor curtail the cooperation which the Police deserve.
THERE IS ALSO another factor which enters publicity
to local crimes. People, again because they know each other
will, resent the publicity which accompanies the preparation
of crimes, but there is simply no way around it. Years ago
THE AVIS, in simply reporting what the Police had issued as
a release, received scathng criticism, the reasoning being that
when certain well known names are involved, no publicity
whatever should be given. What should be remembered is
that publicity does not create crime, but to the contrary has
its effect in subduing il, and that when an act of public in
terest takes place, the accompanying publicity is but natural
In this, too, there is need for enlightened attitude and
understanding.
AS H POLICE go about their business of solving the
crime, some attention should be given to means whereby
there can be no reoccurence, and one of these is the strength
ening Of the Kings Hill staff.
