Jews Protest Biased Articles
TORONTO (JTA) — The
Canadian Jewish Congress
(CJC) appeared before a
special public' meeting of
the Board of Police Com-
missioners called to con-
sider material in "News and
VieWs," a publication of the
Metropolitan
-Toronto
Police Association, dis-
paraging a wide range of
minorities, including Jews.
Articles written by a re-
tired police staff sergeant,
Ken Peglar, have contained
disparaging comments
about Italians, Pakistanis,
blacks, Poles, Catholics and
Jews.
Though the police com-
missioner has no direct re-
sponsibility for the publica-
tion, a -product of the
policemen's union, the pub-
lic session was convened be-
cause the "image" of the
police Corce was involved.
Judge Philip Givens, com-
mission chairman,
presided.
It was learned that
after an apology was
given previously by the
Police Association
president, Peglar's arti-
cles had continued to ap-
pear through 1978, focus-
ing further public atten-
tion on the- issue.
A brief prepared by the
joint committee on commu-
nity relations of the CJC .
and Bnai Brith paid tribute
to the "excellent relations"
of recent years in the joint
committee's contact with
the police force. The brief
said it was all the more up-
setting to find such material
in an official police associa-
tion publication.
The brief said the CJC
made no complaint when
the first disclosures of the-
objectionable material was
made, on the assumption
that Peglar was represent-
ing, as a retired policeman,
the thinking of 40 years ago,
but when it became known
that the bigoted material
had been appearing over

• "During all the years I
have
watched
and
preserved the -scroll I have
waited for the historic mo-
ment to come to Israel and
bring it with me to its final
destination," Rabbi Metz:
ger said-, "Novi, after 40 '
years. of wandering; the
scroll has found its natural
place at last: This, is the
greatest day in my life."
