man for the chief inspector, at 240 Centre -St., the move was made reluctantly, but there were not enough patrol cars to an­swer 911 calls and all special service cars were to to be dis­continued.

Fortunately, the executive board was meeting that night. Besides sending out the tele­grams, plans were made by Mrs. Elise Adams, the president, to insert in the forthcoming news­letter a flyer with sample letters which were to be sent to the may­or and commissioner objecting to the cessation.

The telegrams did the job, how­ever, without the letters. In an­other meeting Tuesday, among police commanders in Queens, Capt. Lynch described the ex­cellent work of his squad, and he was permitted to reinstate it, with Uie provision that, in the event of an emergency, the pa­trol would handle 911 calls.

KEEP INTRUDERS OUT The staffs at the high schools

had worked with the patrols in cleaning up the areas around them. Purveyors of dangerous drugs, involved or suspected users of drugs, hot-rodders and loiterers from other areas had been effectively removed from the school environment. Police efforts have kept intruders from entering the school, molesting individual students, extorting from them and causing school-wide disruptions.

Forty-nine arrests were made over a four-month period at Bay-side H.S., contributing consider­ably to the safety of the students. A breakdown includes: sale of narcotics, 3; possession of nar­cotics (heroin) 8, (marijuana) 5, robbery, (forced or fear), 10, (gun), 2; possession of deadly weapons, 2; reckless endanger-ment of police officer, (tried to run down officer), 1; possession of stolen property. 2; leaving scene of accident, 1; criminal trespass in school, 4; traffic summons, 5; peddlers, 2.

In the vicinity of Cardozo, 22 arrests were made over the same period, for similar of­fences, and in one week at Fran-
