i JR VE I | ml I ; I I bi To Serve & Protect - Continued from page 12 English movies. This huge wall with an enormous policeman sitting behind and peering over the top down at us. I don't know what they said to each other. I was so shaken and sobbing but he climbed down from his perch and we followed him into a room at the side. He mvited my mother to sit down and she perched me on a chair beside her. Slowly. between sobs. I related the whole sordid details of my life of crime as a arsonist. Finally he rose and came around the desk "You best come with me" he said. They're going to put me in jail. I thought and commenced to blubber again. "Now. now we've had enough of that" he roared and | staunched the flow of tears as best I could. We went down the hall to the front door and down the steps to the street. "Take my hand" he said. My hand disappeared into his huge mitt and the three of is walked down Dundas Street. He stopped in front of a store and ushered us in "Give this lad a big ice-cream cone" he said to the store keeper - "Any flavour he wants," My mother refused a similar offer. He squatted down beside me and said "I know you've learned a lesson and won't do such a foolish thing again" I nodded and he continued "Never be afraid to go to a policeman if you need help." I can assure you I've never set another truck on fire and appreciate the difficulties of policing even though its harder now to relate to them as they drive through the village rather than walk a beat. Kenny was upset when he wasn't forced to confess and be rewarded with a cone. >' Joan, my note to you last month got lost in the electronic world. My thanks for your note and kind comments.
