and have been assigned to a basic
military training squadron at

Based upon results of aptitude
testing prior to enlistment, Air
man Franklin chose to enlist in
the General aptitude career area,
and Airman Rice enlisted in the
Administrative aptitude career
area. The specialty to which they
will be assigned within their chos
en aptitude areas will be determ
ined by their aptitudes, desires,
and the needs of the Air Force.
Upon completion of the six-week
basic military traning course, they
will be assigned to a technical
school for further traning, or to
one of the many Air Force Bases
for on-the-job training.

from Newberry High School and
attended Newberry College. At
the time of enlistment he was em

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.
