Farmers Warned
OF Fowl Thefts

North and West Macomb
County residents were warned
this week by officers of Romeo
State Police Post of renewed
activity on the part of chicken
thieves operating in the Roches-
ter, Utica and Romeo areas.
Sgt. Edgar Welsch, officer in
charge Of the Romeo detach-
ment, said that troopers lately
have investigated several COM
plants of chicken thefts. AL
though no wave of thefts is yet
apparent, Welsch advised farm
ers to take all precautions. A
watchdog on chain within the
farmyard. a burglar alarm sys-
tenn or electric lighting help dis
courage thieves, Welsch point
cd out. Farmers should observe
suspicious strangers who either
call at their farms in some pre-
text, or else drive around the
adjoining roads checking the
layout.

Unpaid Fines.
Costs Total
Over 1912

The auditor-g generals recent
survey of Macomb county's rec
ords reveals that total of ll8
men who have been fined and
ordered to pay costs of litiga-
ton in circuit court as far back
as March, 1887, have thus far
failed to do so.
While, at first glance, the re-
port might create the impress
sion that all of the men so listed
have, in effect, defied the auth
GRITTY of the courts, analysis of
the situation reveals that:
l. Many are now serving in
the armed forces.
2. Several have received re-
duced sentences.
3. Some are still paying off in
dribletS sums assessed against
them years ago, and:
4. A surprisingly large num-
Der are listed as "abscOnders."
Chose who have taken off for
parts unknown" and whose cases
have been referred to the
Michigan State Police and to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
for arrest as fugitives and as
violatOrS of probationary terms.
The record shows that ST.
940.25 in unpaid costs and
1892 in unpaid circuit court
fines are now outstanding.
