THE FIRST DRUG SQUAD ~

by KIRK DU GUID

"Drugs started to invade southern Ontario in quantity in the early 1970's, and the Ontario Provincial Police hierarchy decided it was time to form their first "Drug Squad."  This is the story of how a fledgling Drug Squad might have been established in those early days.  It chronicles how officers may have reacted to a new and hazardous form of policing they had never encountered before."

Kirk Du Guid is a retired Ontario Provincial Police Detective Sergeant.  He lives in the Amaguin Highlands in Burk's Falls, Ontario.  This is his forth book.

Available at The Neat Little Bookshop $15.

INDIAN SUMMER ~ Emily Dickinson

THESE are the days when birds come back,

A very few, a bird or two,

To take a backward look.

These are the days when skies put on

The old, old sophistries of June, ~

A blue and gold mistake.

Oh, fraud that cannot cheat the bee,

Almost thy plausibility

Induces my belief,

Till ranks of seeds their witness bear,

And softly through the altered air

Hurries a timid leaf!

Oh, sacrament of summer days,
Oh, last communion in the haze,
Permit a child to join,

Thy sacred emblems to partake,
Thy consecrated bread to break,
Taste thine immortal wine!
