heatherington stouff police dept as chairman of a safety program which they believed would be a good thing for the public school children in town constable heatherington has proceeded with the program to the extent so far of handing out some pamphlets and addressing the seven hundred and fifty children on safety measures now that the holidays are here however the program ran into a snag at thursdayinights town council meeting when complaints were voiced that the program should have firt had council blessing or at least a recommendation from the coun cil police committee or senior officer councillor parsons address ing consablc heatherington who was present said dont you think you should have checked with the police com mittee you arc a police officer here employed by this council and i think it is our right to have knowledge of any dealings or sponsoring you do if the program should fail you know who will get the blame he said constable heatherington re plied that he had been asked to do the job that the two public school principals were cooper ating and the fireman he in ferred that the sr officer was not interested in undertaking iuch a job but that he was glad to do it as a private citizen and not a police officer bicycle liconiine councillor parsons produced a circular signed by constable heatherington and introduced the subject of bicycle licensing the ratepayers are golng to want to know if we authorized this program said councillor parsons constable heatherington said that he had written to council last year regarding licensing but had heard nothing how ever he said that at the moment the program was solely con cerned with various safety mea sures as far as licensing goes the home school believes it is warranted it gives riders more authority as drivers and re member they will soon be driv ers it also gives police an im mediate check on bikes that are stolen said the officer as i understand it this is only a safety program right now said councillor spang thats all replied the con stable well theres certainly lots of room for education of bicycle riders commented deputy- reeve laushway councillor parsons said coun cil might help but they had to know more about the program and how its to be carried out constable heatherington in sisted that he was giving coun cil all the information there was reeve approves i see nothing wrong with the program and i think a lot of credit is due the officer for attempting it said reeve tim bers councillor parsons con tinued to press for more infor mation and added possibly all our officers could help i wish they could said con stable heatherington councillor lehman asked if the constables committee could meet with the police committee to hear about the program if this is going to cause a gicat controversy ill drop the whole thing but remember that 750 children are involved said constable heatherington crosswalks a letter was read signed by constable heatherington ask ing
