Kitney. Excluding cars and bicycles, 92 thefts were reported to the town nolice department. Some of the thefts reported include hubcaps, a washing machine and the theft of beer. In addition, nine reports | of shoplifting were dealt with and brought to a successful conclu- ion. Investigations by the town con- stables included 23 house and business premises break-ins, 10 cases of failure to remain at the scene of an accident, 10° reports of bogus cheques and one ai- {tempt to pass a bogus $10 bill at the Post Office, Two cases of children being left unattended while the parents were out, were investigated and {turned over to the Children's Aid |Soclety. |BOOTLEGGING CHARGES { One case of boo'legging and two of operating bawdy houses were investigated and the ap- Bowmanville Detachment propriate action taken by the de- partment.

There were 368 males and six females charged in court in 1959, and 317 males and three females in 1958 and 345 males and no fe- males in 1957. Of the 374 persons charged in Bowmanville in 1959, 118 were male town residents and one female town resident was charged. No one has been killed in a motor accident in town for the past three years but 11 were in- jured in 1959, 14 in 1958 and seven in 1957. Motor vehicle accidents have been cut by about 20 per cent with a corresponding decrease in the number of persons injured in idents, which well for the Lindsay area issuing ch after beginning their operation in Winnipeg.

During 1959, 11 automobiles were stolen from Bowmanville and eight bicycles. All the autos taken were recovered and six of the eigh' bicycles were recover- ed. In 1958 nine autos were stolen and in 1957 18 were stolen from| town.

He continued, "The number of persons under the age of 21 ob- taining and having liquor in a place other than in a residence, particularly in a motor vehicle is the cause of some concern. I do not feel that this great social oblem can be overcome by pro- ibtion nor do I pretend I know the answer. I do however suggest it may be helped by example and education in the home. 'The first instruction I receiv- ed as a Police Constable 21 years ago was one of the big- gest jobs a policeman has today is to try and get our youth through the years to about 25 years of age without them getting into serious trouble. If we can do this, they will turn out to be ex- cellent citizens, 'The greatest majority of our young peonle give no cause for stolen in Bowmanville during 1059 was $5196.08, a decrease of nearly $10,000 from the total va'ue of goods stolen in 195%] was $15,162.69 and in 1957 stolen totaled $5803.42. ! goods value of goods recovered! concern, There is this minority that IT am trving to reach that is the reason for the concern. The court room is not the p'ace to learn that driving and drinking are net compatible, This combina- tion winds up with a suspension of the driving privileges," said the Police Chief. The cell conditions are unsatis- factory as there are only two and during the year 191 transients were given meals and overnight lodging. Many times during the year there have been seven pris- oners in the cells at the same time and on two separate occa- sions there were nine. Said Chief Kitney: 'The growth of Oshawa also affects or effects the town of Bowmanville, Fifteen hundred new jobs at General Mo. tors means that we will supply the housing and schools for a pro- portion of these people, which could number 6000 new faces in this area. A NEW PROBLEM A growing problem is the Lake area. I am not looking for extra work, but I must be concerned with public safety, We do not have any equipment to enforce the rules of the road on water. We have had many complaints in this past year on reckless opera- tion of motor boats. I would re- c d that arr ts be made in order that we might have the use of a power boat in an emergency."
