Gary Down, a director of the program, explained that the idea for Crime Stoppers originated with a Canadian- born police detective working working on the Albuquerqe, New Mexico, Police Department.

The program includes regular re-enactments of crimes in which the police are seeking leads -- reenactments reenactments which are broadcast on radio and television television or described in regular regular columns submitted to local newspapers. "It's not something where someone has to come forward forward to testify," explained Gary Down.

This annual programme is designed to give the students an insight into the working world and what comes before it. This year we also had some seminars on vandalism, drugs, shop-lifting and alcohol presented by the John Howard Society. In addition, we had parents who volunteered their time to speak to the students about their careers. Mr. D. Gallelib talked about his work in plastic packaging, Mr. Gunter enlightened us about his job as an electrician; and Mrs, Couch, a dietician also spoke on her profession. We. also had a group of professional musicians who performed and spoke on their careers while giving a brief history of modern music. The students of The Pines would like to thank these speakers, as well as the John Howard Society for donating their time. Report cards have been made! up and the teachers have managed to get in all of their last minute assignments. All work being completed now is for the second term.
