THWDMN It was more than thirty years ago that 1 was a night police reporter for the old Ottawa Journal end Con- stable Tom Flanagan was driving a cruiser for the Ot- tawa Police Department. Sev\eral timres in those days, whenthings were- slow, late ai night, Tom picked me up, eut of sight of the Desk Sergeant at the old'Number Onqe Station, which was about where..he National Arts Centre stands now, and we'd drive arobrînd together for a fewv hours. Tlomn checked properties, handled domnestic di7sputes, stopped traffic violators and kept his eye peeled for Iaw breakers generally, 1hl , close to the car radio, was secure in the knowvledge that ittle of importance would happen elsewhiere in the city without mny 1kn9wledge. Like ail good policemeTin, Tom seemed to It1ýve eyes not just in the back of his head but ail the way arounid. He sawr things that I didn't, and he would hurl himself out of the prowlier to check them out. He didn't smoke and he could run like a deer.-As a Mi tter of faC-t'a reporter on the. Citizen referred to him n print once as -fleet-footed Flanagan- and I think tVîEe handie stuck for a while. Over the years l've seen his nfie in the papers from time to time, and now that l'm back in Ottawa, I'd been meaning to look him up. I went down to the new police station recently to meet Tom Flanagan, now Deputy Chief, and to be given a tour of the new facilities. 1 don't think Tom has changed very much, but the Ottawa Police Department certainly has. The soze of the force has just about trebled, and our society has become incredibly affluent. That's part of the reason 1 suppose, that drugs are now at the root of the depart- ment's most pressing problems. In the old daya, booze was the most active catalyst for petty crime. Another sign of affluence is in the property room, where even in late wvinter, 500 perfectly good bicycles are in the racks, waiting for owners who neyer show up. When someone loses a bicycle these days, they go right out and buy another one. There is a briefing room now, with desks and audio- visual equipmnent for officers going on duty, a far cry fromi the old standing musters at Numnber One. The men in the prowlers have to carry briefoases now, to han- die the paper thaï's thrust upon themr. There are new specialized divisions in the force, computers, comn- munications equipment, and a coriscious attempt to get dloser to the public. Thne basic philosephy has not altered. As Tom sees it, it's helping people, not simnply making arrests, that separates the good cop fr-om the cop who ought to be in soi-e other job. According to the Cana- dian Egg Marketing Agen- cy, it was the egg! The- cus- tom of giving eggs goes right back to the times when eggs, as a symbol of re- newed life, were exchanged at spring festivals, Most countries have de' veloped their special Easter fare.,,time-ested recipes which were gradually incor- porated into traditional items on the famnily menu. And most recipes feature the egg in some form, as the- symbol of E aster. The rich Simnel cake, made with eggs, butter and fruit, and decorated whh almond icing, is baked for Easter in Great Britain. In Portugal, the tradition- ai dessert is made of fine strands of egg yolk called angel's hair. The Russian housewife bakes a yeast cake, known as Kulich which is wrapped in a spotless napkin for bless- ing. The Italians bake Colum- ba, similar to Russian Kul- ich, and the regional cooks of Sicily make a rich cake layered with ice cream and topped with chocolate.
