Police Are Wise To "Red Herring" ^ In a recent article In a popular magazine, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported a pronounced Increase In crime. Chief of police Alva Hush, of the Camden police department Is about to agree with the FBI in this particular. Following close upon the heels of the burglaVlzlpg of the Barrluger Hardware store the police now have a second burglary to Investigate, that being the combination store and filling station of Dewey MeCasklll, located at tho corner of llutldege and Market streets and less than a block away from police headquarters. The MeCasklll place was broken Into several nights ago and approximately $G0 taken from a motor device. When the police Investigated they found an old leather wallet lying on the ground near tho roar door and in the wallet was a social security card. Investigation disclosed that the owner of the card was employed at Fort Jackson but upon questioning tills party Thursday at ihe Fort It was found that ho had a perfect alibi. According to Chief Rush tho wallot was left near the rear door of the tilling station merely as a red herring to load the police on a wild goose chase. The chief Is certain that the filling station job was perpetrated by Camden talont. So far the Barrlnger Hardware Company burglary Is concerned the police admit that ho far the duos they have only come to dead ends. Vandalism Likened To Acts of Sabotage (Continued from first page) The officers of the light department have learned, after several years effort, that the people who voice the loudest protost against radio interference are those who squawk most volubly against the trimming of trees on their premises or nearby.

The following is an excerpt Trom Mr. Kast's , speech on how most farmers da< not "live at home": The Georgia cotton farmer gets up at the alarm of a Connecticut clock. Puts his Chicago suspenders on u pair of Detroit overalls. Washes his face with Cincinnati soap itt a Philadelphia wash pun. Sits down to a Grand Rapids table and eats Indiana hominy fried in St. Joseph's lard. 11acon from Kansas City, and biscuits made of flour from Teunessee, all cooked by a St. Ivouia stove. Drinks a cup of coffee from Hrazll or a cup of tea from China. Goes to a lot fenced with Pittsburgh woven wire. Puts u St. Louis bridle on a Missouri mule. Hides to the field in a Kentucky wagon. Hitches up to a Syracuse plow. Works all day on a farm covered by. an Ohio mortgage. Comes home that night and reads a chapter of the Hlble printed in Chicago. Says a prayer written in Jerusalem. Crawls Into a Grand Rapids bod and .covers himself with a blanket from Now Jersey, only to be kept awake by a hound dog?the only home-raised product on tiie farm. Produce more food crops for 1943! Let's get behind the war effort! A HENRY T. LOVETtE NAMED AS SECOND LIEUTENANT INFANTRY Fort Henning, Ga., Jan. 9?Henry T.
