SOMETHING ABOUT THE TWO YOUTHFUL KILLINGS
HERE LAST WEEK

The killing of two teen-oge youths Eorl Jones, and
Lee Edward Crawford here last week with the vicious and
deody switch blade knives, rYo and frvous mat
tiers by ko other teenoee youths has rightly aroused the
deepest concern among the rank ond file of respectable
and Iowobidng citizens of the Negro Communities OF the
city and spotehts the need for understanding and
sympathetic if not better law enforcement in the Negro
Communities as we'll the need for new Judicial op-
prooch to crime and punishment relates to crimes
mitted in the Negro community by Negroes against Me-
groes.
With respect to the need for understanding and
sympathetic law enforcement in the Negro Communities
of the city and in the light of the recent experience in
other sections and cities of the deep SOUTH there moth
ing that can be done to more effectively meet this need

reduction in the cost of low enforcement

that had it not been for Leda's
opposition. she and Rick would
have married before he went over
seas. Alightine from the train al
Brundage, Sherry spies Steve's
station wagon parked nearby and
climbs in to wait for him. To her
surprise, attractive, Lex Morell.
who introduces himself as Steve's
lired man, takes the wheel. Len
had been in the brokerage business
before the war, and upon his re

In the hallway, Sherry said. I'll
tuck Kippy in while Steve locks
up"
There was a furry of good
nights, then Aunt Pen and Lex
went upstairs. Sherry followed
Steve kitchenward, with Kippy
trailing at her heals. While Steve
adjusted the thermostat for the
night and tried doors and went
around switching off lights. Sherry
settled the little dog on his pad il.
the kitchen. She could hear an
indistinct murmur of voices from
the upper hallway, then the SOUND
OF two doors closing.
Got him all bedded DOWN.

over and tucked her hand through
lSteve's arm and felt his elbow
tighten upon it affectionately.

curious"

you're pretty transparent"
Warm color washed across
Sherry's face. Il hope he couldn't

"Probably not" Steve patted
her hand reassuringly. "He doesn't
know you like l do. What do you
want to know about him."
"Well-it's just that he told me.
when we met in the village, that
he was your hired man. But he
doesn't seem like a farm hand
and you don't treat him as one"
Steve chuckled. "Is that all
that's bothering you? Well, it s
this way, Sherry. Lex and ! met
last summer when we were taking
a short agricultural course down
al the University. He'd only been
out of the army a little while then.

Old life, that his old job didn't suit

"Well. them" Steve went on,
he'd come back with an urge to
farm. TO get a place of his own,
where he d be able to make a liv-

feel that way. But Lex had the
sense to see that he couldn't just
leap into the thing with no prep
aration-that he'd lose his shirt if
he did. Farming is a business, like
anything else-you have to know
what you're doing. Lex saw that.
But he also found out it's a hard
thing to learn from books, that any
number of college courses can t
take the place of good, practical
