"This will be a definite plus for policing in Orillia and area," said Mr. McLean, who had been vocal in his support for the van, which should also save taxpayers' dollars in policing costs. The van was placed at the Orillia detachment to cope with the substantial numbers of prisoners being transported from Orillia to Barrie and back. "Prisoners arrested in the Orillia area must be held in the Barrie jail for court appearances then have to be brought back to Orillia,' Mr. McLean said. "With the larger number of prisoners ac- commodated in the new van there will be a saving in Manpower and vehicle expenses." Staffing of the van will be shared between both police forces and the O.P.P. will assume main- tenance and running costs.

With its members having such a wide range of skills and interests, the club tries to provide something for everyone. Club nights may include instruction on some particular aspect of photography, possibly a workshop where everyone brings their camera, or often a slide show presentation by either a club member or a special guest. Club and regional competitions allow members to show their own work and to learn from the techniques of others. The club meets at the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre at 7:30 p.m. every first Monday and third Wednesday of the month, from October through May. Membership fee is $12. (single or couple).
