case. The case is by no means
closed, however, as Mrs. Foy
checks on the girl, advises her
parents, and gives the girl the
extra boost that may mena the
difference between going wrong
again or starting on new level.
In addition to court duties, Mrs.
Foy has been helpful in keeping
truants off the streets, in CO.
operation with Mr.. Albert John
son, the Truant Officer. Or, she
may be asked by the States
Attorneys office to help locate
runaways or missing children

How did Mrs. Foy's job come
about? Last year the States At
torney's office recommended
that the Robbins Police force
provide policewoman to handle
various cases. A majority of the
Trustees voted for her appoint
ment. While she was given the
power of arrest, the same as a
policeman, her primary duties
were to work with the juveniles.
After completing 3 rigorous nom
paying training course at Blue
Island and in Chicago, and
studying books and methods on
juvenile problems and solutions,
Mrs. Foy was hired by the
Board at $1,000 a month. Her
job is hard and demanding, and
she works hard to help keep
your streets safe and protect
your children, and help you in
solving your juvenile problems.
For doing a job that few men
would have, Mrs. Foy has re-
ceived little encouragement,
guarded thanks, and little pay.
No, not even the measley $1,000
a month agreed upon, has at
times. been forthcoming. Even
now, the Village is in arrears in
her pay. To ad insult to injury,

, she has to pay for her own
public transportation The free
courtesy bus pass which most
policemen have, and which was
promised to Mrs. Foy months
ago, by the ruling of the elders
of the Police Board, seems to
have gotten lost. At any rate,
maybe this will remind them.
Surely, the general fund out of
which Mrs. Foy is supposed to
be paid can stand to be denied
once a month for the $1,000 she
earns. And most certainly, the
promises and good words of our
Village officials responsible for
this boner must be upheld. Last

enforcement agency, she stands
as a symbol of duty, willingness,
and discretion. Operating under
general conditions of poor police
facilities, using public transport
tation, lack of cooperation, lack
of parental and civic interest,
lack of regular pay, and SEEM
ing disinterest on the part of
the police committee, she stands
alone among her fellow officers.
It takes a lot of courage and
love of humanity to combat the
gnawing ineptness of public Of
fcials and juvenile delinquency
in the village.
Mrs. Rosa Lee Foy, Robbins
only policewoman, has a some
times exciting, often heartbreak-
ing, and unbelievably thankless
job. Often called upon at I'M
godly hours, she continues to
serve the Village-and youth
a fight against juvenile delin-
quency. A typical day in her
life might begin at 600 am,
when her phone jangles on the
hook. A 15-year-old girl is
picked up by the police for,
we'll say drunkenness. The of
fcer on duty calls Mrs. Foy,
who, unless the squad car is
available, has to take a bus to
the station. Arriving at the
Village Hall, Mrs. Foy gets the
facts from the arresting officer
and the girl. The girls parents
are notified and the girl is re-
tanned until the seriousness of
the crime or charge has been
determined. If she can be tried
in the village, she is either book
ed, held, or released on bond
to her parents. Well say, tho
that the charge was more seri-
Gus and necessitated trip to
the States Attorneys office.
Then Mrs. Foy must accom-
pany the girl and the officers to
the County Jail where all reports
and evidence must be presented.
1t is only fair to point out here
that Mrs. Foy is driven to the
Jail by Village Police. Often
long hours must be spent at
the County Jail, and cases are
shuttled to various rooms and
courts. For the record, We'll say
the girl was assigned to Juve-
nile Court and disposition was
made of her case. In a lot of
instances, Judge Dunn will
release the girl to Mrs. Foy's
custody. She may leave the
Court House at ZOO or 500
pm, if she's lucky. Sometimes
it is after 400 pm. Too, she
must buy her own meals and
pay for her sons meals because
of her absence at home. Arriv-

IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Edgar Phillips, known af-
fectionately as "Mungo" to
his friends was fatally in
jured in an auto accident at
.1::5O pm. yesterday & passed
away at 4:3e pm.
Mr.. Phillips, q carpenter by
trade, was driving west on
Center Line Road when he
overlook a station wagon,
owned by Valdemar Aikens
and driven by Alphonso Har-
rison off Hannah's Rest, and
attempted to pass when,
according to the Police
report, the rear of his sedan
hooked into the front fender
of the station wagon; the road
was wet from the rain, and he
evidently lost control and
the car plunged across the
road and smashed against q
large Tibet tree.
The station wagon with its
ten passengers, five adults 3
five children, headed left and
came to a stop between two
trees. The weight Of the pas
SengerS and the soft dirt
prevented it from mounting
the headbank.
Harrison ran toward Hogens-
burg to telephone the Police;
in the meantime, eyewitnesses
said, Miss Hildred Edwards,
a registered nurse drove up
and she Immediately went
over to the car and did what
she could with the uncon-
scious man until the ambu-
lance arrived. and removed
him to the Frederiksted hos
pital, where he was found to
have suffered a fractured
skull, the left arm badly La
cerated, also his back and
chest.
