Good Judgment

Exceedingly good judg-

. Charles w. Montgomery,
= keoordinator of civilian de-
fense in Licking county,
\ When he appointed Colonel
/ Oliver H. Dockery to be in
!. charge of all investigation
r. fifth-column and subver-
= i've activities in Licking
$ounty.
Colonel Dockery is a man
6f wide and varied expert
ence. He is equipped with
a mentality capable of sift-
ing the wheat from the
chaff when rumors of fifth
column activities come to
his attention.
When Major Montgom-
cry stated that many un-
founded charges are being
made and circulated about
Licking county citizens Of
foreign birth, or who have
had residence in foreign
countries, he said some
thing which should make
every sane man and woman,
stop and think.
1t is vicious and mean to
perpetuate such rumors. 1t
is un-American.
Through Colonel Dockery
lies the means of communi-
eating all facts or SUSPECT
