Disguising a policeman s paunch May be a weighty Factor in deciding on a new uniform for the Winnipeg police department. The Winnipeg police com Mission saw the proposed modified Battle dress at its meeting wednesday in the Public safety building and appeared receptive to the idea of change. But the commission decided the whole business needed More study. For one thing police chief George blow had reservations. He said he d been told by a police official in Philadelphia p e n n s y 1 Vania that if you want to take the dignity and taste away from your men then give them this a Constable who was slim looked neat in it but for the one with a slight Pauich it was decidedly uncomplimentary the chief explained.

It weighs about 15 pounds compared with present overcoat s 22. We re kind of Happy with this new coat. We feel it should prove but what to do with the old coals if they Are re placed was a problem.

Also he i said the corps can replace its j men within a matter of hours. I Alderman Lillian Hallonquist said under the present agree-1 ment the commission Aires Are not employees of the police commission. If they she said we d have to pay them the same wages As but if the contract had gone to Dominion they would have become employees of the Board and could expect higher wages. A. Montague israels said although the commission Aires do not come under the Board s control formally they carry out their directions from the chief of police. Law enforcement should never be allowed by a private and said mayor Stephen Juba chairman of the police commission since the chief Constable is an agent of the Board we have absolute control.

Taxes key to liquor hours by Raymond Sinclair ail those who want a 24 hour liquor service raise your elbows or hands. As far As n. E. Rodger chairman of the Manitoba liquor control commission is concerned you can have 24-hour liquor store in Winnipeg any time you want it. Naturally he said it would mean higher taxes. That would t necessarily mean a dearer bottle but it would mean a bigger Cut for the government which last year for instance took in million from sales which totalled million. We re very careful in trying to keep Down because it s tax Money we re or. Rodger said in an interview. If the taxpayers want their liquor store open 24 hours a Day we would comply. But it s an extravagant Way to run a business. The Long suffering taxpayer would have to meet the extra he said the present closing hours seem to meet the need. We get a pretty Good feel for the Public and i Don t think there s any real the Only store open till Midnight is the main Branch at Euice Avenue and Donald Street. Since 1959, it has been staying open late. The Experiment came after recommendations in the Bracken report on pro posed liquor Reform Legisla Tion arising from findings of the Manitoba legislature s liquor investigating c o m Mittee of the bad old Days of 1950. Just 16 years ago in october 1950, Liberal la f. L. Bud Jobin told the committee it should press for a 24-hour store to curb bootlegging. Today he can see no reason for it. He said it was a Wise decision at the Lime to bring in the mid night closing at Euice and Donald. I m satisfied with Winnipeg has seven liquor and the surrounding metropolitan area has six. According to or. Rodger is just about the right no More Are planned. The late Peter Cafferty Winnipeg City police depart ment morality chief in 1951, told the committee Midnight closing would reduce bootlegging. But morality inspector Robert Scott said today s bootlegging is average. He would t comment on a 24-hour store until he knew More of or. Rodger s remarks. B u i he said you re always going to get said or. Jobin people will always go to the Bootlegger if it s closer to Roblin woos Trade encouraging inducements have been offered potential japanese investors in Mani Toba the japanese Consul in Winnipeg Kumao Oka Zaki disclosed wednesday.

Itagaki said Trade be tween Canada and Japan would be a major part of his work in this country. He indicated Japan is increasingly interested in Pur base Metal Industry and will seek to import More items such As Copper Iron Ore coking Coal Nickel and Potash. Japan would Benefit from lifting of the voluntary control restriction imposed on the coun try by a Japan Canada Trade agreement he said. We d like to sell our goods More to Canada. It s rather difficult to balance but he added you have so Many things to buy in Canada we will be buying More and current Canadian Export earnings from Japan Are million a year. By 1970, the ambassador predicted they would double to million. Canada currently conducts less Trade with Japan than the United states and Australia. The Export pattern from Japan is changing from Tex tiles. To chemicals and heavy Industrial or. Itagaki said. Japan s population increase has dropped one per cent and already we Are feeling a shortage of skilled the country s recent change of allowing japanese tourists to take up to .
