H. Byers testified a check of his minutes of meetings revealed only one complaint against Chief Derry had been re- corded by him. "In February, 1951, reeve Litchfield drew coun- cil's attention to several com- plaints he had received in regard to parking on the sidewalk at Church and Dundas Sts," he stated. "A resolution was later approved instructing the chief to enforce bylaw 1114 in reference to parking." "This is the only resolution you can recall being passed on which the chief has been ordered to act?' queried Mr. Schrieber. "Yes. Matters are usually left with the police committee after discussion by council." Did not the town solicitor in- dicate that no prosecutions could go through on parking at the Thomas and Robinson Sts. corn- 7 "I don't recall" "Im- told section 13 of the by- law specifically excepted the area."

Refers To Strike "One instance T definite neglect part felt showed a of duty on the of the chief was in August when a large local in- vy was facing a strike the witness went on. "The company asked me to have 15 to 18 pro: yinelal police on hand, and to have the local force stand by, as it expected demonstrations. I was against outside police, and I arranged with: Chief Derry on a Thursday to handle the situa- tion with our own men. On the following Saturday, 1 visited the police station, where I found Sgt Brown in charge. He told me the chief was leaving for a police convention the next morning, and that he was in charge of arrange- ments, I dont feel the, chief should have left town with a strike imminent." Recalls Burglary Another instance in which he was dissatisfied with Chjef Der- v's administration occured when the post office was broken into during the early morning hours, the mayor testified. "I heard about it when 1 came to my store about 8.45 am. I saw Constable Ever shed In the police station, asked him what had happened. He told me of the burglary, and told me he was going right down to the post office. At 10.30 Sgt. Brown told me the chief was on his day off, and that the federal inspec- tors were here. I told the Sgt. I felt the chief should have been on the job." Pressed for further incidents, the mayor stated he could find no evidence where instructions were laid down by the chief for new members of the force. "From personal investigation, all I can find is that mew officers are in- structed in trying doors of bus- iness places," he said. "You mean no instructions, or no written syllabus?' asked mainder of the morning session and well into the late afternoon. He admitted at the outset that newspaper reports tabled by Mr. Stark were correct. "Summarizing, then, I take it your complaints fall into four sec- tions," said Mr. Starr.

He had followed the chief home at "what was presumably lunch hour," and understood: the chief's mail was delivered to him in the cruiser when Chief Derry was on vacation. "I've seen the car in front of his home on many occas- ions," he declared. He went on to state he knew of no specific plan the chief had ever put forward for the improve- | ments of traffic conditions or "anything else." Questioned by Mr. Starr, he said council had passed a traffic bylaw three months ago.

All good things must come to an end, or at least that is what we are made to understand, and who are we to argue with the experts Yes, I 4m afraid this is going to be goodbye, not only to this col- umn, but to Teen Town in its en- irety. After 7 years of supplying acilities for the teen-agers of Oakville, Teen Town must fade aw to make room for more up-fo- date recreation standards. With the gala Farewell Dance this Friday night at the arena, Teen Town will become a mem- ory in the pages of the past A memory that will be cherished by hundreds of tenn-agers who have shared the fun, the excitement, and the problems of this, their own town. Many a time will they look back and remember the glamor of the annual formal, the rowdy election parades, the projects and campaigns that were all a part of Teen Town. Perhaps they will remember the gang they chum- med with at the dances, the priz- es they won, the time they had to eat a lemon on the stage. Yes, it has been fun! To trace Teen Town's history you must go back to the year 1944. Wilf Anderson took over the job of being the first mayor and 'under his leadership the mew venture flourished. A group of the more musical members formed their own band for the dances, while others formed a camera club. In the spring a drama club was organized and a play pre- sented. Teen Town was off to a grand start. Alf Anderson - took over the reins from Wilf in 1945. Bob Hughes in '46, John Hutchinson in '47, Doug. Farley in '48, Ruddy Whiting in '49, and of course this year's mayor is George Far- row. Over this span of time many projects were organized by the respective mayors and their councillors. One of the early councils edit- ed their own newspaper, another sponsored a girls ball team. Doug Thursday, June 28, 1951 Town can be pas in the fact that community well.
