S. Hogg, of Gore, in an address to tin 1 Gore Rotary Club. "It is I'm general thing while on patrol t»o hear a mother with a wriggling, ’squealing

child, say. ’Here's a policeman,’ or ‘l'll give you to this policeman.' We al] know what effect this has. It may quell one child, but leaves a lasting effect of nervousness with others.” Air Transport For Trade
