LESS CITIZEN SUPPORT Mr. Starr said citizens ex- pect. officers to solve crimes and catch criminals, but they complain when police duties involve them. Police forces say there is less and less citizen support. "More often there are there are concerted attacks on police when they carry out their duty," he pointed out.

Official reports from the mus- eum state the specimen was not an Indian relic but rather a piece of limestone with many fossils. It coincidentally happen- ed to resemble a tomahawk. The specimen gives no evidence of having been worked by In- dians and further Indians did not use limestone in the making of their implements. Oblong in shape, nine inches in length measuring four inches at its widest point, the rock specimen was found 50 feet from Thickson road south, July 23 by Fred Cowan, of Maplewood Lodger Whitby, while he was| cultivating his five-acre fruit and vegetable farm.

PUBLIC RESENTFUL He told the delegates that people don't thi of them- selves as criminals and that when they are caught violating laws they are resentful toward the police who catch them. "They are resentful because they are ashamed and embar- rassed. They look conspicuous." Labor Minister Starr conclu- ed by saying, "People should extend their thinking and be grateful that the police are do- ing their job well. If they are not, they are taking their de- mocratic privileges for gra -- and we can't afford to do to-day.
