Parents, not policemen, should
be responsible for keeping children

Association at a meeting in the
Ryland Methodist Church last night.
Voicing opposition to curfew reg

curfew, enforced by the head of the
household"
Regulating children's hours is
not the job of the police" Mr.
Mulkey stated, land no parent
wants to be told how to run his
own home"
Mr.. Mulkey's talk followed a busi-

trivances go, but its Importance has
ballooned to mammoth proportions.
Legend has it that in one of our
Pacific ports an officer drove his ieep
down to the docks on an official
errand. He left his little mechanical
steed sitting innocently on the pier
He had only been gone few min
utes but when he returned the jeep
was nowhere in sight. Diligent
search was made of the entire area
still no jeep. Some one recalled
that there had been a submarine
around that day. Grasping at a
straw the investigators made de-
mand upon the sub skipper to come
clean and turn over the jeep. To
their amaZement he did. In a man
ner that would have baff1ed even
Houdini the jeep had been slowed
away in the undersea craft in a
matter of minutes.
And then there's the story of how
chief bos mate, with some very
able assistance, led an assault on q
jeep that had pulled up on the dock
alongside a destroyer. Covetous
eyes had followed the jeep from the
very moment it had come into view
The driver jumped out and disap-
peared among the workers and gear
And then the attack began. Under
directions of the chief bos'n's mate

jeeps and women are pretty high
on the priority list, too. Woe to
him who will not admit it.
Now take the jeep. In the hustle
and hustle of any port in the Pa
cific, jeep means riding instead
OF walking. And If you had your
choice you know what you would do.
The post exchange, ships service,
administration building or even the
oficers' club are always at the 9TH

II It's business or pleasure you may
