TAYLOR “Next to Newberry County Bank” Smith to head Exchange Club’s special week H. C. Smith of Mower street has been appointed general chair man to direct National Crime Pre vention Week activities in New berry February 14-20, it was an nounced today by Gordon Leslie, president of the Exchange Club of Newberry. The slogan for this year’s cam paign, “Lend A Hand To Arrest Crime,” is an appeal to all good citizens to lend sorely needed sup port and cooperation to police officers and law enforcement ag encies. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover has endorsed wholeheartedly the 18th annual observance of Nat ional Crime Prevention Week, sponsored by Exchange Clubs throughout the country. Mr. Hoover says, “A lack of citizen support hamstrings the most de dicated law enforcement agency. It is essential to remember that those who strive to serve you can do so more effectively if they, in turn, receive your support. Lend a hand to law enforcement if you would arrest and reverse the tide of crime.” Several special events in obser vance of the national week have been planned here by Chairman Smith and announcement of com plete plans will be made in the very near future, it was reported.
