People You Know
Cabbie Helps Law Win Battle to Make Arrest
By LINTON ARKLES
If you've eyer had that helpless,
indignant feeling of utter chagrin
when you couldn’t make the traf
fic cop believe you really AKE the
sector warden and that the emer-
Sency E must
tolen from
when he tangled ’
with 75 citizens ' '
last week.
Jimmy is a crew leader on the
vice squad. Last Wednesday,
while going their appointed rounds
—in plain clothes the squad
nabbed a burly citizen in Grand
Circus Park, for good and suffi
cient reason.
But the burly citizen had other
ideas and began yelling:
“Help! Police! Kidnapers!
I’m being abducted!”
Several other citizens ran over,
then several more, and finally 75
of them, by Jimmy’s conservative
estimate, gathered and became
uglier and uglier as the four
sweating cops tried lo inch the
burly citizen over to their car.
CONCLUDE HE’S EIGHT
But the car had no police mark
ings recognizable to the public,
and as the burly citizen continued
his fight and yelling,* the crowd
became more firmly convinced that
he was right.
Finally, a cabbie pushed through
the crowd and succeeded in con
vincing them that Jimmy was “the
law” and that this was a "law
car,” and the squad made off
hastily, the burly citizen still yell
ing his innocence of wrongdoing.
The squad's ego still is a little
deflated.

DESTRUCTION ... IN SMALL PACKAGES
Incendiary bombs are little things, far less noisy than the
huge demolition bombs but just as destructive when numbers
of them find their targets. One lone bombing plane can drop
• thousand, each a package of white-hot fire!
Householders are learning how to fight the incendiary
bombing of their homes, if it comes. For if hundreds of
small fires started at once in a single community, it would
take the alert cooperation of everybody to prevent a major
conflagration.
The secret of fighting a wide-spread fire is speed. Fire
fighters, volunteers, police and others must be summoned
instantly. That cannot be done if the telephone system
already is jammed with calls.
So during and right after an air raid , do not use the
telephone except for vital messages.

To Work on Farm
MT. CLEMENS, June lfi.-The
fresh air of farm work will do a
lot for a man convicted of drunk
driving and for the farm labor

days of labor on the farm of
