Joslin, Oil City's police chief for the mast eight years and a member of the force for nearly 20 years, will be demoted to the rank of patrolman, effective Sunday, and a new chief is expected to be sworn in Monday, Mayor R. Van Kirk announced Friday night.

Chief Joslin, although apparently undisturbed by the course of events, said today he had "no comment" to make on his demotion. He had advised Council he desired to retire on pension when he is qualified under the City Police Pension ordinance. The ordinance would provide him with a pension of half his present monthly salary if he remains on the force until next Aug. 18. The current demotion will have no effect on the pension.

Mayor Van Kirk termed the action nis "first step" in the complete reorganization of the police department, following on the heels of a survey conducted by a professional investigator. The newly elected Democratic mayor said there was "considerable criticism" of the department when he took office in January. The move demoting Joslin and paving the way for a new chief is actually the "second step" taken by the mayor. On Feb. 20 Lt.

John Cotter and Patrolmen Rea Wygant and Cloyd Heeter, of the night force, resigned under pressure of unfavorable reports from investigations conducted by special investigator Bruce, Smith, of Garden City, N. Y. Soon afterward, on Feb. 26, Phillip F. Cheles, of Greenville, was appointed as a new patrolman on the force.

IRA L. JOSLIN Mayor Van Kirk has indicated a new "acting chief" will be named Monday to take over the official duties of Chief Joslin.

He joined the department May 4, 1936, and was promoted to lieutenant three years later by the then mayor, J.

G. Payne. On Aug. 28, 1941, Mayor Payne promoted Lt. Joslin captain.

Prior to joining the police force, Chief Joslin was employed by the P.R.R. and the Joseph Reid Gas Engine Co.

Shadle, 'a psychiatrist, outlined how parents can better understand teen-agers and help them.

In explaining the latter, Dr.

Shadie stated, if too much is done for a child he is not able to meet responsibility and if not enough has been done he will revolt against responsibility.

Pass Pass Pass Opening lead-4 1 "When the hand was actually played, South won the first trick in dummy with the ace of spades, drew three rounds of trumps, and led diamonds twice towards the dummy. odds were 3 to the missing diamonds, and that West would, have one of this seemed good enough for South. "As it turned out, East had both of the top diamonds, and the defenders got three diamonds and spade. Was South wrong or just unlucky? South was. both wrong and unlucky.

He should have known that East had both of the top diamonds, so that any other line of play would be preferable. West's opening lead located the king and queen of spades. It was therefore clear that East had raised to two spades with no high spades or hearts, and with at best a queen in clubs. What could justify the raise except possession of both high diamonds? A far better line of play was available. After taking the first trick with the ace of spades, South should cash both top clubs.

He then gets to dummy with the nine of hearts to ruff a club; gets back to dummy with the ten of hearts to ruff a club with the ace of trumps; and gets to dummy with the queen of hearts to cash dummy's last club. Thus ten tricks are assured. Obituary Obituary John B. Davis Funeral services for John B. Davis, 56, former Sharon resident and brother of Mrs.
