'THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE British Police Real Public Servants 'Always Co-operative And Polite! | London, Eng, Nov. 4 -- British lice give meaning to the words Public servant. Not only the re- mowned Bobby in London, but police folk everywhere. Listen to yourself getting pinched like this, in a Lincolnshire village: "I'm sorry, sir. We have just timed 'you and you were exceeding the speed limit." : ; Perhaps you tell him you don't think you were exceeding the limit. We are afraid you were, sir. We make it hat you were/Aravel- ling at 88. The limit here is 80. ay 1 see om license, please? Thank you, sir.

You will have five days in which to produce the certificate there, You may or may not feseive a summons, sir, but we shall have tc report the incident," Or, take an episode that occurred on the west coas: of England one afterncon last year. It concerns Sgt. Stanley Tanton, C.ID, (Crimi- nal Investigation Department), Now it would be hard to find more: obliging people than in an English R.T.0. Bristol's is no ex- ception. But it was utterly unable to resolve the puzzle presented by the unlucky lad: "She's home from London for the holidays. I know her name-- it's Baker--and her age, and 1 could give a escription. The only thing is I can't remember is the name of the suburb, But I figured once I came to Bristol it wouldn't be hard to find her. It isn't more than 18 miles out, because I re- call her saying she bicycled that distance, Pretty sure the suburb began with a 'P'; something like Parasheen," After three-quarters of an hour, R.T.0.'s de ve efforts had en- hanced the lieutenant's hopes ex- actly zero; in fact, they were de- po Be rapidly, along with the sun. It was suggested he might try the police. He did. Huge volumes came off the shelves: county directories for Gloucestershire and Somerset. They yielded nothing. "Afraid that's that," said the Sgt. Tanton was alone when the officer entered. After listening to the story, he plun~ad in with con- fident enthusiasm. His was an earned reputation for ferreting out the impossible. "We'll find her for you!" he smiled. Two hours later most of this en- thusiasm had worn away, Tanton and the lieutenant sat back, smok- ing each other's cigarettes and wondering what they could do next. They had combed through a whole wall of files (but the Baker family respected law, hadn't even misparked or sped its cars). They had nhoned the police of ev Bristol suburb beginning with "P" and many which didn't. They had actually tried to reach the head- mistress of the girl's former' schoo] in nearby Clevedon. "If only I were in London," mused the young man, "I could ride out to Sheen and ask Miss Baker's landlady. To» bad she has no phone. I'm pretty certain--" Sgt. Tanton had grasped his transmitter once again, Into it he poured a request to London to in- Bob Hope Wishes UC Follies Success Curently being displayed by the cast of the University College Fol- lies are autographed pictures of|' Lana Turner and Bob Hope wishing success to the cast. Instead of three choruses there will be four this year, according to musical director Bob Cringan and a new policy was introduced in the orchestration--the music is design. ed to correspond to the dance rou- tines, "This year we have some unusual- ly good ballads composed by the students themselves," Cringan said.

An unprecedented run on tickets| for the show resulted from the largest enrolment in college history. ery | Three thousand people will attend the six shows, and officials said only a few tickets remained for the Saturday night show. During the heavy crowds which snapped up tickets for the Friday shows, a tall ex-Navy frosh was heard to ask: "Do all those people think it's worth while to miss lec- tures just to get tickets for the Follies?" . ' : for Dentantics. Oringan replied to this question with an emphatic "yes". "The Follies are the best type of musical comedy which Toronto has seen for some fime. In my estima- 1 tion the show ranks next to big London productions, In addition to giving the college something dif- ferent in the way of entertainment, it is an excellent proving-ground for would-be radio, vaudeville and with the Army Show, "We went everywhere that the help I, my wife was with the After graduation from his Bach- elor of Music course he Intends to 80 into some aspect of musical co- medy.
