No, you just couldn't dodge it..
Not that anybody tried to, but
it was useless anyway.
AS you entered the great sane
tum" the atmosphere just oozed
with 1t! There was something i'm
polling, that seemed to send tho
hand to the pocket as tho in
search Of something. What Wa,
it?
Capt. Strickland, chief of the
city's sleuths, cast his eagle eye
on you as you entered, and silent
ly crept up to you and Whispered
in a quiet voice:
Il want to see you-very iai-
portant!"
OF course, when you followed
him into his office, he didn't bring
out any handouts, he just wrote
a little receipt and said "how
much?" and you told him, and ne
handed you the receipt and a little
emblem most good Americans are
proud to wear.
In other words, and what We
should have said at the start,
Capt. Strickland down at police
headquarters is tagging" every
body that comes in there for the
second Red Cross campaign.
And still they say they can af-
ford to give the city COPS raise.
