Sheriff Warns
OF Men Fakinq
Soldier Status

Sheriff Robert w. Ware Thurs
day warned Imperial county resi-
dents TO be cautious about taking
unidentified and supposedly dis
charged servicemen into their homes
because several residents have been
yictimized by men displaying faxed
military discharges.
"ResiC ents Of the county Sympa-
thize with the men who have been
discharged from the services and
want to help them all they can,
the sheriff said. This is a splendid
thing but unfortunately unscrup-
ulous men are taking advantage of
this kindness and anxiety to help
returned veterans.
In l943 there were four and a
half million felons in the United
States. Many of these still are with
us, never having been taken into
the service. Many have been induct-
ed into the various branches of the
service but have been discharged
because they were unfit for service.
Military service probably has not
reformed very many OF these felonS
and We know many of them have
not mendeG their ways much.
Therefore it is we'll TO be careful
about taking strange men into
homes Some of them, of course, are
worthy but We have definite infor-
nation that some of them are quite
the contrary. 1t is dangerous for
civilians to expose themselves to
men who trade on sympathy and
deliberately make things difficult
for the genuine veterans we all
want to do all we can to help"
Ware said that three different
families in Imperial county recently
have been victimized by men pass
ing themselves off as honorably dis
charged veterans of the present
war. Some Of them are known to be
fugi,ives from justice who have
committed serious crimes, he said
