Remain Watchful
Rumors thrive in small
towns, and even in as fine

However, in spite of what
you may have heard, Major
Charles C. Keller, comman-dant

State -Police Training
School, advises us all to lock
our doors and windows and

make a mistake. Let us all
be on the alert for each
other's protection.
