Protecting people: Several metropolitan area communities operate Police Reserve Units who work with municipality police. Arden Hills Council has approved the creation of such a Unit in our Village to assist the Police Department personnel in times of need. Two A. H. men have completed the training course and will be available to assist -police on a volunteer basis after Council has finished its study of the Rules and Regulations pertaining to Police Reserve Units and has given its official approval. Transporting People: Beginning Monday, August 9, MTC will -begin service of Route 38, a freeway express bus service through Arden Hills to downtown Minneapolis. The route begins in Circle Pines and enters Arden Hills at. 35W and County Road E-2 to New Brighton Road to Stowe Avenue, then down. Cleveland Avenue to County Road D where it will again go back on 35W. The bus will make one trip into downtown Minneapolis in the morning, scheduled to arrive at Cleveland and E-2 at 7:17 A.M. (You will have to calculate times around this stop point as at this writing, schedules have not been re- ceived from the printers). There are two return trips in the late afternoon from downtown Minneapolis, at 4:45 P.M. and 5:10 P.M. Because only this sketchy information is available at this time we suggest you call the MTC at 827-7733 for more times and locations. This editor did ask how one stops the bus.to get picked up and the answer came: "At controlled corners there will be designations, otherwise you just kind of wave it down." Well, o.k., good luck, riders, and let the Crier know how this works out! **'***MTC says the trip from Circle Pines to downtown Minneapolis on Route 38 will take only 45 minutes, cutting 17-19 minutes from a previous schedule, which could make it an attractive route for A. H. residents who work in Min- neapolis...... ' Next month the Crier hopes to publish ROUTE MAPS PS AND SCHEDULES FOR ALL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVING ARDEN HILLS in a condensed version for quick -reference. ' Helping People: The Volunteers of America has contacted the - h Crier in its search to locate foster parents who are willing to help in the treatment of "troubled kids".
