Mr. Speaker, millions of Canadians during the 1950s and 1960s watched the television series "The Andy Griffith Show".
Just recently I had the pleasure to honour the retirement of Carman Lemcke, police chief of Shelburne, a town in my riding. During Mr. Lemcke's 37-year career he never wore a gun. Carman is the longest serving police chief in the province of Ontario and possibly Canada.
One humorous story is the tale of hands-up-Harry. Two bank robbers tried to make a withdrawal while Carm was working in his front yard. Mr. Lemcke went to the local hardware store, borrowed a rifle and set out on foot to capture the two robbers. The getaway car left early leaving hands-up-Harry to become a story regularly told in Shelburne.
On behalf of myself and the people of Wellington-Grey-Dufferin-Simcoe I would like to wish Carman and Rose a happy, healthy and long retirement.
