His Worship was introduced by councillor Arthur Gormley, chairman of the police commit- tee, who was accompanied by Councillors Earle C. Baker and H. E. Hyndman. Also present for the inspection were Deputy Ma- yor A. Wallthen Gaudet and Councillor William Boyles.
Chief "Charles W. ‘MacArthur introduced each member of the force to His Worship and the members of the police ‘commit- tee.
His Worship warmly compli- mented the force, “You are a very, very fine force. You are a good looking group of men. If you are as good as you look, you must be tops” he said. “The citizens have every right to be pround of you.”
It is natural that you will be criticized, more than any other group. But be on your g-uard.- “Give us a good job and we will back you to the limit”, he promised.

He added that it is his feeling that the city. employees should be paid a little more than the average wage in the city.
Speaking further to the force, Magistrate lvllazrtiii told ,them, they must have respect, industry and impartiality.
As guardians of the law you must teach people respect for the law. By your personal be- haviour you mcust compel peo- ple to respect you and you in tuinmust. earn:-this respect by respecting the people, be ad- monished. You must be cour- teous ‘at all times, he added.
So far ds industry is concerned, the force must depend on the industry of the individual mem- ber. We know you always try todoagoodjob.Trytodoan even better job, he urged.
Dealing with impartiality Mr. Martin said “I have never had before me a police officer whose word I had to doubt”. If I ever do,itw'illbeasorrydayfor me and for him too, he added.
“It is not enough for you to swear to what you believe to be the truth,” he emphasized. “You must only swear to what you know to be the truth.”

NICE, France (CP) Sir Winston Churchill’ is ill in bed and his personal physician, Lord Moran, will fly here from L0 "on
today to see him.
The doctor who attended the former prim e minister said Churchill’s indisposition is not serious and should pass in a day. The doctor gave no details._
Lady Churchill arrived by air earlier Tuesday and went imme- diately to Churchill’s Riviera va- cation villa, the Villa la Pausa ow n e d by Churchill’s literary agent. Emergy Reeves.
A spokesman issued a brief bul- letin stating Churchill was tired and that his condition required a complete rest.
The following report has been issued by the Potato Marketing Board and the Potato Dealers’ Association.
The Canadian potato holdings as of February 1st have been issued from Ottawa and are as follows: for 1958 — 11,849_000 cwt. against 10,953,000 cwt. at the same date last year; of this increase 60 per cent is shown as in Prince Edward Island. The holdings for 1956 were the same as for 1957; the holdings for 1955 were 7,713,000 cwt. It is noted that here are 1,500,000 bushels of potatoes more in Canada at this date than in February 1956. It is hoped that the export market will pick up this surplus.

Lord Moran, secretary of the medicine facutly at London Uni- versity, announced when advised of Churchill’s illness that he would fly here.
When Lady Churchill arrived, a reporter overheard her daughter, Sarah Churchill, tell her that Sir Winston was suffering from a slight cold.

of 67,000,000 cwt. compared with 78,760,000 cwt. last year and 66,600,000 cwt. two years ago. This report is considered very strong in view of the fact that disappearance of potatoes in January this year in the United States was higher than in any recent January.
The American report has sti- mulated the aiotivity-ln the Unit- ed States on potatoes and prices have risen sharply for it is noted that the combination of. the consumption, stocks on hand, and the loss of the southern pro- duction by frost, has given a very strong basic foundation to the market.
