about 35 havc een doing patrolcar duty with the men for the last year recent report showed 800 women on waiting list to join the force But Sgt Hobbs is uhder the gun more than most to prove she can hold her own in what was once considered mans work One night recently 12 men stood to attention as the diminutive 32yearold sergeant gave them their or ders for the night Just after midnight with her paperwork behind her Sgt Hobbs headed for her car Through the night she prowled the streets in the un marked car supervising her men and keeping her trained eye peeled for trouble TAKES COMMAND If theres crisisa shoot out car chase burglary rapenshe takes command of her men If she is first on the scene she must contain the crisis until senior officers and reinforcements arrive As she pulled away from the station she looked small behind the wheel of the big Ford she drives The clock pushed am Lights were snapging off in private homes usinesses and factories were locked up and the streets

Aitkens career as an interior decoratorand launched her on different road to success Now four years after the last accident that cost her the partial use of her arms and confined her to hospital bed for two years she has won fir st prize for her porcelain dolls at major ceramic show in Florida Life kicks lot of people said Mrs Aitken an at tractive woman in her late 40s looking as luxurious as her decor as she relaxed amidst her porcelain menagerie She has the same kind of elegance as her figure of Queen Elizabeth which stands haughtily with ruffled collar and gown as crisp and textured as real lace under glass dome on side table Other figurinesa gaily colored Italian flower vendor homely old man holding winning hand of bridge cards and radiant bride in anti ue lace gown look li costumed actors frozen into porcelain OVERCAME INJURIES After raising family of four with her husband Alexander and working 20 years as freelance com mercial artist and decorator Mrs Aitken overcame neck injuries that doctors said should probably have killed her Its strange how the bad things in life turn out to be the best ones she said They seem to make you stronger and ca able of things youve never one before Her last business venture before the accident was decorating the walls and in teriors of private homes and commercial buildings in the BurlingtonHamilton area All that ended in 1970 car crash resulted in severe whiplash that prevented her from practising the physically demanding work of decorator She spent months in hospital She was still wearing neck brace in 1972 when the second accident occurred Again she suffered whiplash this time more serious Many nerves were torn in her neck causing her to lose movement of her arms and hands as well as other com lications such as bone in ection and temporary blind ness Even today she is unable to raise her arms any higher than her shoulders and suf fers occasional bouts of pain came from family of achievers she said So kept thinking its not what you have thats important its what you do with what you have left wealth of knowledge and experience in decorating painting crafts and sculpture which she couldnt apply to interior decorating prompted her to try her hand at por celain doll draping Two years ago she took threeday course in the art with Hamilton woman Sin ce then she has worked at it for up to 14 hours

arrest on speeding charge He was put in the police cruiser by the two policemen and taken to the station dont know what made me spot him Sgt Hobbs said Something clicks in your head If youre good of ficer you get to know your district You can tell when something just doesnt look right USES STRATEGY What if the man had resisted What if her men were slower to arrive Could she hold her own with
