PRESS ASSISTS 0 KEEP CLEAN "POLICE FORCE Viscount Byng Says Public- ity Has Had Good r Effect London, June 21,--One effect of publicity given to police matters in the press has been an increase in the number of letters received complaining of the conduct of of- ficers, states Viscount Byng, Com- missioner of the Metropolitan VFo- lice, in his report for 1928 maae public Wednesday. But taking into consideration the number of officers involved, Viscount Byng says he is imprews- ed by the rarity of cases in whien frivolous or malicious charges are brought by the police, Caretul fnvestigatiods have been made in each complaint received, and whenever mplaints were found to be justified, appropriate action was taken, the former Ca- nadian Governor-General says in his report, Street betting Is a constant source of trouble, the report states. Public opinion in the matter of street betting is out of sympathy with the law and detection of of- fences' consequently. is extremely dificult, Another effect of the critical at- titude of the press and public has been the general reduction in the number of charges brought, Vis. count Byng says there is good rea- son to belleve that the constables' confidence in fhe public and him- self for a time was slightly shaken and that the efficiency of the force suffered in consequence of several charges against police officers. A great danger recently had been that the police were unduly reluc- tant to take action when action was needed, he said, "But T am satisfied that such re- luctance was due purely to tempor ary cases," Viscount Byng sua. - THE OSHAWA, DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1929 PACE SEVEN Digcipline in the Metropolitan Force has heen well maintained and the Indication is stromg that the general standard of conduct Is steadily improving, the Commis. sioner sald, School children unconsciously help the law-breakers, says Vis- count Byng, pointing out that to assist children entering and leaves ing school, nearly 1,000 policemei must four times daily discontinue their ordinary duties on their beats in order to be at street crossings near 'the schools, This becomes known, Viscount Byng adds, ano advantage of the policeman's ah sence from his heat is sometimes taken by law-breakers, 4 BEING AN M.P, EXPENSIVE °* As the smoke of the General Election in England has been clearing away, many victorious candidates, as well as those de- feated, have been figuring whether it all was worth while, One Mem- ber of Parliament declared that it cost him $5,000 to win and $2,500 to hold his seat, Two prominent Conservatives admitted during the campaign that they had to find at ER and subscriptions. The general opinion at Westminster is that the demands on members' purses, ex- least $5,000 a year each tb satisfy the demands of their constituents for loeal political organizations cept at election times, are declin- ing, however, OFFIGERS NAMED BY SOLINA S088 OF TEMPERANCE Hilton Tink Named Worthy Patriarch of the Lodge Solina, June 14.--Bruce Mont- gomery spent Sunday at Enniskil- len at Mr. Bradley's.

They were located at a depth of 1,200 feet and the fisher- men were able to follow them 'and keep their nets at the right depth instead of wandering off into deep- er water and losing the fish, as would have been done by old meth« ods. The instrument records the' depth of water to a maximum of 2,400 feet, and Indicates changes fn the depth at the rate of 192 feet to the minute, ! ~ / Be eu ind .
