PRANKSTERS HIT THE HORSEMEN

Less than a day after Health Minister Alan Rock announced that there would
be a government sponsored investigation into the possible health use of
marijuana, pranksters hit the RCMP detachment in Dawson City.

The Front Street lawn of the detachment has a nice lawn with a small garden
and the words "Dawson City - RCMP - GRC" laid out in stone. This afternoon
it was noted that the letters "R" and "C" had been rearranged to become "H"
and "E", turning the word into "HEMP".

Officers in the station had not yet noticed the change when this reporter
stopped off their after receiving a tip from a reader. They were amused and
felt there would be no shortage of possible suspects.
