world’s finest police forces ; older than the
R.C.M.P.

“Both men are adding these ribbons to
already long strings,” he pointed out,
describing how Sergt. Clark, as captain
with the 72nd Highlanders won the Mili-
tary Cross at Amiens, and Const. Smith
was awarded the Military Medal in ser-
vice with the Canadian Mounted Rifles,
during the Great War.

As senior judge for the County of
Cariboo, Judge Woodburn expressed his
opinion of them as very fine men and
very efficient police officers.

He recalled how Sergt. Clark has had
five commendations in general orders,
then pointed out that “this is the only
sub-division not under an inspector or
sub-inspector, although the territory
covers approximately 43,000 square
miles.”

He stated that Sergt. Clark has charge
of the city detachment, McBride, Vander-
hoof, Fort St. James, and the district de-
tachment here, in addition to the radio
division and gaol, with 18 officers under
his command.

“Sergt. Clark is proud of his fine force
and of his 24 years service in it; and we
are all proud of him as a citizen,” stated
Judge Woodburn.

P. E. Wilson, K.C., for 32 years city
prosecutor, joined in similar sentiments
with anecdotes of his early acquaintance
with both men.

Const. Smith was attested May Ist,
1925, while with the city of Vernon police
force upon it being absorbed into the Pro-
vineial Police. He had earlier served as a
constable with the Glasgow Police prior to
leaving Scotland for Canada where he
served on the city police forces at Kam-
loops, Penticton and Victoria. He saw
service with the 2nd C.M.R.’s.

He went to Anyox in April, 1926, was
transferred to Prince Rupert in June,
1930, continued east to Smithers in May,
1931, and in March, 1933, came to Prince
George where he has been ever since.

R. G. Mckee, district forester, voiced
the pleasure of senior civil servants in
the government building at the honour
conveyed upon two most esteemed mem-
bers.
