Man Sent to Penitentiary Operation of Jr. "Our chief aim is to gain the confidence of the children and of their parents," Chief of Police Charles Fletcher told Whitby Ro- tary Club yesterday in an inform- ative address on the aims; objects and accomplishments so far of the Whitby Junior Police Club. which now has a membership of 310, al though organized only last Janu- ary. Chief Fletcher, introduced by Rotarian H. H. Goode, told of the set-up of the club organization, the physical training the boys are re- ceiving to improve their material and spiritual outlook, and to turn them away from paths that ry ht lead to crime and the jail cell. **** I can save your boy from going § the penitentiary, I feel that I wiu have earned more than the Town of Whitby has and ever will pay me." the chief told the Rotarians. "When ever any of our boys have a problem, we want them to come and discuss them with us in con- fidence and we will do all we can to help them," the chief said. ENTERED POLICE WORK As a background to his talk, Chief Fletcher told how, after re- turning from war service overseas in 1946, to his home town of Hunts- ville, he was approached by the Town Council to join the police force of three members. Later, after some service, he was ap- proached to take the office of { Chief Constable. "I recall that the | magistrate told me at that time | that police work was 90 per cent | common sense. But, said the chief, | things had changed in the past 25 years, and the lad who gets into trouble today follows entirely dif- ferent methods and presents an entirely different problem. Today, said the chief, a police officer is called upon to make an immedi ate decision while on his line of duty, but the magistrate may take Chief Tells Rotarians of Police Club and have something on the bit or police work. An officer in court to- day must be able to give evidence and answer questions intelligently. "You can tell the first case they have in court if they are going to be good officers," ihe chief said. CLUB ORGANIZATION Speaking of the organization of the Junior Police Club only a few months ago, Chief Fletcher said that there is a different feeling among the boys towards the police than there was years ago. The chief said that the boys were be- ing taught wrestling, tumbling, commando training. He believed that every boy should have some military training not on a war ba- sis but something that would de- velop him physically and give him a 'hopeful and confident outlook on life. Into this program the bovs for the most part were entering with enthusiasm. ORGANIZE A BAND The chief told of the organiza- | tion of a boys' band. The instru- | ments were used for some years | when a town band existed, and used more recently by the Kins- men band, had been sent away Five Sent Six men charged under the sec-| tion of the Criminal Code dealin with drunk driving appeared be- fore Magistrate F. S. Ebbs in the Whitby Police Court on Tuesday. It | was the largest number of such | charges brought into this court in some time on one day. First conviction was handed down to Robert Elliott, a Toronto serv- ice manager. He was charged on April 10 in Pickering Township with having the care and control of a! motor vehicle while intoxicated and at first entered of not guilty and asked for a remand. Later he changed his plea to one of guilty GUEST PREACHER At the annual St. George's Day patriotic service to be held in All Saints' Anlican church on Friday evening, the Sues preacher will be the Rev.

The chief said that while the | Club was organized only last Jan- | uary, there had been raised the | sum of $550. He thanked members of the Rotary Club who had pur- | chased tickets for the recent con- | cert to raise money, and all other | citizens. He asured the Club 'hat if at any time the members of the Club could be of any assistance to glican Church, Oshawa, and ru- | ral dean of Ontario.

Pickering Police officers told of investigating an accident at the in- tersection of the Altona Road and Highway 2 on the night of April 10, Elliott, they stated, had been Proceeding south on the Altona oad and was attempting to make a right turn onto the highway when his car collided with a westbound car driven by Russell Dixon, of RR 3 Pickering.

The accused was sentenced to seven days in jail and assessed court costs or an additional seven his licence was suspended for three months and his car im- ded for a similar period.

Constable Daniels reporied that the car was already ordered off the road so the three-month impoundment meant little to the owner. His driver's licence was also cancelled for three months. GETS REMAND Crown evidence was heard in a drunk driving charge laid against Michael Serediuk, of Brooklin, and the case was remanded for one week when His Worship learned that the accused had retained a lawyer who was not present during this portion of the hearing. The ac- cused was charged by the Whitby Police on the early morning of April 5. Constdble Jim Quinton told the Court that on the night mentioned he and Constable Walter Pulver had been parked at the four corners in Whitby and noted a car travel- ling east through the intersection at what appeared to be an unusual speed. They followed the car, he said, and near the subway saw it weave to the south side of the road, going back to the north side as it passed through the subway. It stay- ed on the north side, he said, unfil it reached Anderson Street where it was stopped. There, he said, the driver, the accused, did not want to get out of the car and was helped out.
