New.Ponchatoula Police fashions
Chief Ernest Peltier and Asst-Chief
Lillian Ordoyne model the new
Ponchatoula Police Department blue
uniforms for readers of The
Ponchatoula Times. The change from
tan to blue is the first in 16 years.
Before that the departmental uniform
was a plain blue shirt and blue
trousers. Not many remember the
police colors before that. They were
white and blue, shirt and pants. But
certainly none of the earlier uniforms
can compare to the style worn now by
the Ponchatoula police, with fancy
piping, flashing rank designations,
and specially-commissioned shoulder
patches created by local artist Kim
Howes Zabbia that feature the
Country Market and Mail Car Art
Gallery, strawberries and the state
seal.

My Garden Secrets
By VIOLET COLLIER
Times Garden Editor
Hi Neighbors!
I wonder how many of you have
noticed our Men in Blue lately. They are
walking and riding all over town,
looking biq and proud in their new
Police Uniforms. Notice the new
patches? These are really Poncha-
toula's own: Cguntry Market, Museum,
strawberries• It's all there for the world
to see. The badqes, new and shiny.
New shoes and boots, black and shined
to the limit: City policemen known
to the world as "the man in blue," a
friend to all, protection for our children,
our homes, our town.
When duty calls they are there; Firm
and Determined with those who break
the law. They are also wearing their
bullet proof vests that the town so
generously helped to provide.
It's really a step forward for our little
city.
Thanks to the Mayor. City Coun-
cilmen, to all who helped in this step
forward, respect and admiration to all
by all.

The men in blue
As they guard the laws ,
And the ladies too
Will cast shadows tall
Each day is different
With every call
Experience is lent
Can never be a stall
To become Number One
And top the list
Each case will be done
There is always risk
