26 THE ASHBURIAN THE R.C.M.P. TRIP N a cold night of january, a small enthusiastic group of Senior School boys walked over to the R.C.NI.P. barracks to listen to talks on the activities of the several departments of the Criminal Division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. VVe were welcomed by Stal? Sergeant Sutherland in the chemical building, where we were made to feel quite at home. The heads of the three main departments-the ballistics, hand- writing, and chemical department, explained in detail how these groups work together to uphold the traditions of the R.C.M.P. The whole lecture was well illustrated with slide Elms. The head of the ballistics department showed us how weapons used in a crime can be identified. This is done by comparing the marks made on a bullet at the scene of the crime, with the marks made on a bullet shot from the suspect gun in the laboratory. Next the chief of the chemical department explained how, in the laboratory, a sample of dirt, for instance, taken from the suspect's shoes, can be compared chemically with a sample of dirt taken from the scene of the crime. Also, blood tests can be taken from those involved in an automobile accident to see if it is a case of drunken driving. To close the occasion, the head of the handwriting department demonstrated with slides how forgeries can be identified, just by comparing the size and shape of the characters in the genuine piece of writing with those in the suspected one. He also explained how changes in cheques or documents can be detected by differences in colours of ink, differences in the chemical compositions of the ink, and even eradication stains on the paper. At the end of the evening everyone departed with the feeling that they had greatly enjoyed an experience which was not only educational but also highly entertaining. 5

The highlight of the game was a thirty yard pass from Rhodes to Irvin, who ran forty yards for a touchdown. ASHBURY at L.C.C.
