LOCAL BURGLARIES

Alexandria is unfortunately
situated as regards a winter GRIM
inal population. It's proximity to
Washington helps to make it a
rendezvous for the malefactor
who preys on society, especially
during the four or five months OF
cold weather. Right recently we
have had an experience i'll this
direction in the narrow escape Of
Father Smet from serious injury;
a man whose life in this COM
munity could be lily spared, and
who was the victim Of both burg
larry and mr1rderous assault.
This and other incidents have
created an alarm'in the comlnull-
ity, especially among the women,
that should certainly be alleviat-
ed. Our reporter has inter-
viewed those officials who may
be said to share responsibility for
life and property in Alexandria,
and his report will doubtless be
read with interest.

FATHER AND SON WEEK

This week is to be Father and
Son Week. The Kiwanis Club is
to celebrate it by a Father and
Son dinner at it's meeting on
Thursday. There is a national
movement i'll the direction of en-
couraging a closer intimacy be-
tween father and son. It had its
inception in 1909, and has had a
remarkable growth. The Y. NJ.
c.. A. are the originators, but 1t
has been adopted by churches and
Sunday Schools and other organl-
cations all over the country; and
is today a recognized institution.
Further than this, it is apparently
becoming worldwide, and is a
constructive agency for good that
occupies a new but none the less
important field.
II fathers everywhere would
only foster a more intimate COM
panionship with their sons; II, IN
stead OF holding aloof from their
daily lives, their immature inter
ests, their youthful adventures,
their vague ideals,-they would
take them into their own SYM
patty and confidence, they would
work a marvellous change III the
lads outlook on the world.

Louis Smet has aroused a lot of COM
ment on the part of residents of the
city concerning the probability of
other occurrences Of like character
during the coming winter. Ordinarily
free from such depredations, anxious
citizens are asking themselves wheth-
or there is any liability of an influx
of undesirables and whether the local
police department is doing all in its
power to cope with the possible con
tingency.
The Man About Town found Mayor
jim Duncan at the Police Station. In
reply to our questions the Mayor said:
THE people of Alexandria have no
cause to be unduly alarmed. The Po-
lice Department is doing everything
possible to prevent the activity of
criminals in this town. We have an
efficient force of patrolmen and prop
crty is well guarded. All suspicious
strangers are picked up and investi-
gated. We have a couple of 'holdovers'
