2 THE WHY OF POLICE SEGGIONG EXPLAINED Chief Peterson, Back From National Convention, En- gages in Common Sense Talk CITED CO-OPERATION Value of Friendships Cannot Be Exaggerated After a two weeks' trip to the west- ern coast, where he attended the In- ternational Police Chiefs' convention, June 19-24, at San Francisco, Chief of Police W. M. Peterson, of Winnet- ka, hag returned to his job of main- taining peace in the village. Each summer Chief Peterson spends his vacation, which most men of sim- ilar office spend in fishing or visit- ing relatives, at the annual meeting of the best known police experts of the United States and Canada. He gives his reasons for this disposition of his vacation period: Valuable Acquaintances "The friendships I form and the old acquaintances I renew at these conventions are most valuable in my work. It is no slight comfort to know that no matter into what section of this country or Canada a criminal wanted in Winnetka may flee, I can get in touch with a man in that local- ity whom I know personally, and who will do all in his power to aid me in the apprehension of the criminal. "The discussions which ocupy much of the convention time are of course very valuable. But they are not di- rectly applicable to a department the WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY §, 1922 pee ees eee ------ size of my own. The latest methods of dealing with criminals are talked over at length and suggestions made from the floor, but they are for larger | cities. In time, with Winnetka grow- ing so fast that I see a city of twenty or twenty-five thousand people even- tually, these large departmental schemes will be of some use here. Example of Co-operation "There were 352 delegates at the meeting from the United States, Can- ada, Hawaii, Mexico and Denmark. I met or have met before most of these men and can at any time se- cure their co-operation in the carry- ing out of my work here. For example, two years ago I pursued a forger over the southwest portion of the country by mail and telegraph, but could not locate him. Finally, he was heard from in Colorado. I wired the Chief of Police in Colorado Springs, a per- sonal friend of mine, met at a con- vention several years ago. When my officer reached that city all he had to do was to bring the man home in handcuffs. My friend had done the rest of the work. "The radio was discussed at length. New methods of dealing with auto- mobile thieves were discussed. The "lie machine," which tests very ac- curately a man's emotions and indi- cates a false statement by recording changes in blood pressure and pulse, was demonstrated. "We were urged to bring all pos- sible pressure to bear on our legis- latures for the unification of laws with regard to criminal procedure, so as to make extradition of criminals more simple. "The trip? Oh, it was fine. We saw all there was to see in and around San Francisco and were entertained royally by the local officials." With the exception of several minor traffic ordinance violations there have the "Chief's" word for it that ported to Chief Peterson since his re- turn to the village last Friday. To Remove Putty.

The report sets forth the financial condition of the village, gives the result of the year's operation of the village elec- tric and water utilities and presents a budget for approval of the Council for the current fiscal year. The report also includes a review of the work of the year and recommendations for future progress. The manager also presented the re- ports of the heads of the Police, Fire and Health departments. It is the plan of the Council to publish an at- tractive year book in the near future, giving information which should be of interest to Winnetka citizens relative to their municipal government and designed especially to be of service to new residents of the village. The attention of the Village Council was recently called to the danger to children resulting from their being allowed to play around the many new buildings now in course of con- struction in many parts of the village. It was considered unnecessary to cover the matter by ordinance but the Village authorities were instruct- ed to warn parents of the danger of accident to their children when al- lowed to enter incompleted buildings, and to suggest that they be kept away at all times.
