FOR FINDING S11, 200

Several weeks ago a man received
much publicity when he went into a
Virginia restaurant and ordered cup
of coffee, which was far from unus-
ual, but when he pulled out 500
bill to pay the five cent bill it was I'M
usual. He was arrested for investiga-
tion by Virginia police and they found
$1,000 on the man, William Num-,
%, of that state. He told police he
had found the money and his story
proved TO be true as Doc Nevin, WHO
clocks the horses at most all eastern
race tracks, had reported losing that
amount in Baltimore.
Neyin got his $1,000 and gave
Num- $500 for finding it, accO1 ding
to Num- who told that story to Off
Ger William Feeney at the Towson
Police Station Sunday night when he
stopped there for lodging. He said
he was broke and was on his way to

Tire THIEVES ARE
CLASSED ENEMIES
COUNTRY AT WAR

Castigatjng tire thieves and tire
vandals as "cnemies OF a country at
war" he keystone Automobile Club
urges punishment to fit the crime
in a statement approving steps taken
in various States to increase penal
ties for tire thievery
Both the Federal and various
State governments have gone into &C
ton on the tire front to protect citi-
zens in the ownership and use of what
is now one of the vital necessities in
American life," said Harrison G. Kill
dare, counsel for the Club. Drastic
penalties designed to make tire thefts
and tire vandalism too dangerous 10
b5 attempted are under consideration
throughout the country, and pending
enactment of new laws, prosecuting
attorneys and courts are taking fell
advantage Of present statutes to give
such thieves the limit.
I'VE heartily approve Of action to
make punishment for tire thievery SO
heavy it will discourage gangsters
and others who might be tempted to
take advantage Of the emergency Tor
criminal gain"
New laws covering tire thefts are
proposed in New Jersey, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Maine, Mississippi New York,
Rhode Island, South Carolina and
Virginia. A measure in the congress,
introduced by Representative Cochran
Of Missouri, would make thefts Of
tires and tubes a federal offense,
punishable by fine of not mora than
$1,000, or a year in Jail, or both. Pen
alties proposed in various states
range up to ten years in Jail.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
BURGLAR ROBS WIDOW
OF LARGE SUM

An unidentified prowler entered
the home OF Mrs Margaret Vetra,
widow of the late Granville Vetra, in
Wenona, and made off with approx
mately $1,000 last Sunday evening.
Sheriff l. Fred Phoebus, investiga-
ting the robbery, said that the crime
occurred between the hours OF G.15
and 8:15 P. NJ. Sunday, while Mrs.
Vetra was attending Church. Sheriff
Phoebus was summoned to the scene
at approximately $50 p M. Sunday
night.
The prowler entered a bedroom on
the second floor and forced open a
large chest and removed a mOneyboN
in which was a wallet containing the
widows savings of approximately ST.
800. The bills were described as ten
500 bills of the old large size cur
rency. A 500 note, two $50 and var
ious $50, $40 and s. bills were Of the
new small size.
The metal money box was found on
the stairs near the bottom Of the
steps, and the wallet was found where
the culprit had discarded it along the
road not far from the house, Sheriff
Phoebus said.
Sheriff Phoebus said the unidenti-
fled thief was undoubtedly familiar
with the Vetra household. Mrs. V@tra
had attended Church Sunday night,
and for the first time since her hus-
bands death, the house was un0ccu-
pied and the prowler must have
known of her action. A screen in a
back second story window had been
slashed, but there was no evidence
that the prowler had used this means
of entry. No tire marks were found
and the Investigators could not find
any sign that a ladder had been used.
Sheriff Phoebus termed the slashcd
screen as faxed evidence and is of the
opinion that the prowler used a pass,
or skeleton key to gain entrance to
the house,
All banks and large stores have
been notified to be on the watch fer
any attempt to pass a large size 800
bill and to notify the Sheriff's office
Of sush attempt Immediately.
Sheriff Phoebus said that investi-
gators were following several lines
in an attempt to uncover the identity
of the culprit and they EXPECTED to
make an arrest in the near future.

Bomber Girls
Room in City

Mrs. Josephine Gomon, consul
tant for women at the Bomber
plant, stated today that she is
finding Ypsilanti landladies very
cooperative in supplying ropms for
women workers. The workers are
OF high type, she said, many be-
ing wives or sweethearts of men
In service, anxious TO aid in the
war effort. Some are college stu
dents who are taking a year from
their studies to work on the bomb
ers. and some are graduates OF
colleges and universities.
Response OF Ypsilanti residents
in providing girls with living
quarters has been gratifying, Mrs.
Gomon said. but more rooms must
be made available. and she urges
residents who have spare rooms
to convert them to use OF bomber
plant employees.
The emergency is more acute
than seems TO be generally real
lied, she said. and as production is
increased IL will be necessary for
more Ypsilanti residents TO open
their homes to roomers.
1t is this need for rooms that
led Mrs. Gomon to suggest appro-
priation OF Normal College dormi-
tories for workers. and It Is indi-
Gated, therefore. that the easiest
way for Ypsilanti to keep the dor
mitories open for students will be
to open their homes to defense
workers.
