James, Editor c-o The Canadian Statesman Dear Sir: I would at this time like to acknowledge the fine work of our Ontario Provincial Police. In particular, to send rny thanks to Constable George Ostrander, for bis belp and services on April lst, at approxirnately 2 a.rn. Sorne friends and I were returning frorn a visit in Lindsay wben our . vebicle becarne inoperable and we were stranded. At two in the rnorning and miles from home, we were looking at a couple of hours of walking. Constable Ostrander came by and gave us a Mif. He inforrned us that if he received a cail, we would again be lef t on our own. Fortunately he did not et a cal, and we were saved forn starting off April Fools on the wrong foot. Constable Ostrander showed the fine attitude of our force and served to reinforce' the fact that our police are bere, to 'Sèrve and Protect. This atti- tude must be hard to keep in this bard and often tii nkess job. So, I send rny thanks to Constable George Ostrander along with all the other fine officers of our Newcastle Detachrnent, a Model Force. Thankfully yours Brian Lavis..
