Plea for relief of Bosnia The public will be able to bring some relief to those in Bosnia at Christmas by donating toys, food supplies, and other items

The Medjugorje Peace Plan Group will be filling its tenth container which is expected to be sent off on Tuesday.

Spokesperson Lucy Willitts said donations should be dropped off at the group's new warehouse facility at the old Naval Air Station at Kindley.

"People should go through the gate and turn right to the warehouse which will be signposted,'' Mrs. Willitts said.

However, she added that if people were unable to get to the warehouse between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., they can deposit items at a "food bin'' which will be at Lindo's supermarket from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For further information call 292-6185.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK POL Keep up the good work The Bermuda Police Service wants the public to keep up the supply of information on cycles that have been stolen although there has been a significant decline in the amount of cycles that have been stolen.

Police spokesman Pc. Gary Venning said he hoped this decline will continue and asked cycle owners to continue their vigilance.

"Cycle squad officers have been targeting cycle thieves and have taken many out of circulation.

"The public have been providing useful information through Crime Stoppers and other means which has helped to locate offenders and recover stolen cycles,'' he said.

Still, Pc. Venning said cycle owners needed to continue to use a substantial lock whenever they left their cycle unattended.
