Ruths Angels fight vandals Success for a new vandalism program in north depends mainly on the feet of leader Geurls and her six angels Miss Is working with Region al Police in District One on the program called Neighborhood Watch The Watch Is sponsored by the federal solicitor general police picked program for north Six university and community college students started work this week in George town and on the program Miss recruited the girls from applicants who plan on continuing their education next fall Neighborhood Watch is on vandal We want to dispel apathy and en courage citizens when see a crime taking place to alert police Miss said in an interview The program mandate is to reduce opportunities to commit crimes Angels will carry the Neighbor hood Watch message to schools Service clubs and about 11 homes in the three towns But that is just the beginning Miss wants Neighborhood Watch to be more than a vague memory to citizens so part of the job will be encouraging people to adopt habits which will discourage vandals Brochures arc being printed which ire designed to help keep the idea of the program going long after college resumes Some of the Neighborhood Watch program will be handled by the post office because as Miss Geurls says the program does not cover transportation costs Ottawa pays the wages However any item carrying the program message which may be left with citizens to read or use is the product of the group fund raising companies and service groups ore considering donations Miss said Neighborhood Watch was used by Niagara Regional Police last year and that force is continuing the program this year The Watch has also been used at Monclon New Bruns The program continues until August 24 Last ycir students worked with Police on another program
