Students say no to drugs

Street'' -- a true story about three teens who experimented with drugs and alcohol and ended up dead. Discussions after the film revealed the students were shocked that someone could die from using drugs only a few times. After debating the pros and cons of legalising drugs in Bermuda, the students voted against the move. One of them said: "All drugs are capable of doing is causing crime and death.'' HELP POLICE SLECT MOTTO POL Bermudians have been asked to put on their thinking caps and come up with a Police motto.

The idea of a motto was recommended by Judge Stephen Tumim in his report on Bermuda's criminal justice system. And now Police Commissioner Lennett (Lennie) Edwards has appealed for help.

Anyone who can help should ring Supt. Andrew Bermingham on 299-4228, or the Police Community Relations Department on 299-4321.
