Although each member of the department is theoretically set up on •a‘ 48-hoUr-Woohi -tho chief la .on Call at all times and does a double shift on Saturdays. He works from 8 until 4’ Saturday ‘ afternoon and thenibaok,again atl0;30 until dawn as does the 4 to 12 patrolman. This added .protection;* on *B,a tu r d a y nights and early Sundays is needed according to Bradley, because of .the number of people ;who are iti the town during those hours, Att- (Other little known fact about the (department Is that the town la (afforded cruiser protection on a 24- hour basis. The work of the local department is closely co-ordinated with th e -Sheriff's office In Xenia and the •Xenia Post 29 of tile Stole High­ way Patrol, just five miles north of Yellow Springs, The cruiser radio is .monitored with the Sheriff's offie • ,and the Wilmington post of the Patrol, calls then being relayed to the Xenia Patrol Post Another facet odf the work of the department concerns the sum­ mertime swimming project which Wart initiated three years ago and which is open to ail boys in the town under competent polite su­ pervision- The department fur­ nishes transportation to and from the Orton Pool at i o t a Bryan State Park and provides swim­ ming lesrtonH iiy a patrolman. Funds are provided to the boys unable to pay by excess funds from the local.goads exchange un- dkr the supervision of Mrs, Clyde Adams, Supervision .and instruction in proper traffic control and courtesy of the 19 boys in the school safety patrol is still another activity that Warrants a policeman's time. The boys, ranging In,age from 8-13 are elected from their class rooms and choose their owrt Lieutenant and Captain. 'These boys are an Integral part of the law-enforcement o f the oom- munity and the good that they do can . n e v e r be overemphasized," Chief Bradley declared. Through excess funds from the goods exchange run ,by Mrs. Clyde Adams the boys have been able to enjoy summer outings per year, which include trips to see the Cin­ cinnati Reds .play, trips to London Prison- Farm and airplane rides. They are also to receive certificates at the end of eftch year denoting their service to tile cause of traffic safety. * This safety patrol tactivlty by members c£ the department is owe type Of personal Contact with - the children and young people of Yel­ low Springs by which Bradley hop­ es to install in them Uie respect for the law and the police. It's also good assurance that in the future Yellow Springs Will hold on to its low crime rate, an honor any town has a right to be proud of. A most recent innovation In the control of traffic throughout Yel­ low Springs frt the portable electri­ cal speed control unit, which was recently purchased by Uie depart­ ment and put In use just in the T d t H B FKOM YO U R tO C A L APPL IANCE DEALER F B A T t m i N O ONLY NATIONALLY ADVElIfm & BRANDS "The Best Costs So L ittle More” GR I NN ELL A P P L I A N C E S A L E S 2&t -M&rifaAve,, YolfawSprirtgg, Ohio - tlwiw 77756 past ten days. This type of control device has been used with marked success in other towns, Bradley de­ clared, but added that it was no speed trap, but just an attempt on the part of the local department to allay complaints oof speeding on Xenia and other avenues through town, All in all, a policeman’s life la not an easy life and especially a police chief's life, hut personal {.sat­ isfaction in a jopnvell done can be a .great OPffirPfibefttSon in .p.oliae work. * " l a d ie s *AID MB ipS , Mrs. Warner* Cummings enter­ tained theiLadiCs Aid -of ttteBtgj* Grove Church of Oirls^nta her home T h u r s d a y afterntKm.rhfrrt.
