at my touch. I carefully unfolded it and found the
following: Wanted: Honest men and women. Job description: Crowd control, watching, and patrolling (巡逻) . You will

often work with a partner, someone who must watch out for
you while, you do the same for them. You must be in control of your temper when others may lose theirs. You must be

physically fit, of high intelligence, and the highest
moral fiber(道德力量) . You must be willing to work long hours, perhaps standing or walking for the entire shift.

Training: Extensive and on-going. Pay: Not very high.
Benefits: The satisfaction of a job well done; positive contribution to society; the opportunity to make a real

difference in the community. The knowledge that you help keep
children safe. Drawbacks: Long hours, low pay, danger, and occasional loneliness and boredom. To apply, talk to the

nearest Police Station about training as an officer.
My father lost his life in the line of duty as a police officer. He never spoke about his work, preferring to
