BORN TO BE A COP
Continued from preceding page

take an hour to get the facts. But not this
lad! His voice was shaking, but he turned in
his report like veteran. Described the car,
gave us the license number, told us Mike
was heading west on Maple Drive. And
that isn't the whole story -"
Rodgers turned to Bud. GO ahead, son.
tell your dad about that radiator job you
pulled on Big Mike -"
Bud seemed to have trouble getting his
voice started, but then the words came
tumbling out in breathless rush. when
Big Mike shot you, Pop, was over in the
field, across the road. knew had to do
something, 50 crawled under Big Mikes
car and turned the little spigot under the
radiator, 50 the water'd run out and his
card stop before he got far away -"
How'D you come to know that trick,
son?" Rodgers asked.
Pop told it to me one time, " the kid said,
proudly. Then remembered "a couple
of thugs had blackjacked gas-station man.
But the fellow hadn't been knocked out cold
he'd crawled along and opened up their
radiator petoock, and the car died on them
in the middle of their getaway"
I'VE had Buds message on the short wave
inside of thirty seconds" Rodgers went on.
"And Big Mike trying to run for it with
red-hot motor smoking like chimney. Son,
that sure was smart Job
Well, Buds face lit up like Christmas
tree. Praise from hardboiled policeman
with gold badge on his chest. The kid was
in seventh heaven.
"Well, Joe, I'll drop in again tomorrow"
Rodgers said. "And don't worry, Joe -
you're getting your stripes back!'
Then Rodgers was gone, and Ellen was
squeezing her cheek against mine l think
maybe she was saying little prayer. Bud
was edging forward. with something clasped
tight in his hand
''PoP, can wear my cop badge now?" he
pleaded, and I'll be darned if he didn't have
that cheap tin badge again. Il found it,
Pop, after you threw it away. was lookin'
for it in the weeds when Big Mike drove in.
If hadn't been huntin' for it. l wouldn't
have seen him! This is good-luck badge.
Pop D"
Well, / just looked at Ellen. and Ellen
looked at me-
Okay, son - come here" said, and
managed to pin the badge on his shirt. What
else was there to do? You can't buck the
tides, or bend the stars from their course.
Honey" I said to Ellen. Il guess the
Crandalls are going to have another cop in
the family" The End
Evening star., 1949-11-27

Listen, son, said, 1T not smart to be
a cop. It gets you nothing. Cut out this
play-acting cut out these cop games -
understand"
The tears started running down his cheeks,
but he didn't make a sound. And stop
crying!" l clustered. 'One cop in this FAM
lily is one too many"
Bud made funny little sound in his
throat, and started backing down the path;
keeping his eyes on me, walking slowly at
first, then faster, until he turned and ran.
1t made me feel like murderer, seeing
him 60 off like that. Well, later on he'd
know what meant, when he was over this
kid stage. But there was lump in my
throat as went into the house.
Ellen - look at this!'' said, and opened
out the newspaper,
"Oh!" Ellen gasped, and then her face
went pale. 'Oh, Joe!''
knew what she had in her mind.
Forget it, honey" said Mike Gan
mons probably across the border by now
What prize sucker this makes of me! And
my kid wants to be cop! For two cents
Id take this badge and ="
f1UsH, Joe!" Ellen said quickly. You
can't help it if Mike Cannon escaped. You
did all you could" Then she tossed the
paper aside. well. the world won't end
just because Cannon broke Jail. Suppers
nearly ready, Joe. Go tell Bud
So went out back and looked around,
but Bud wasn't in sight called him, but l
didn't hear any answer. Then heard
leaves rustling over by the fence.
1t was Mike Cannon standing there, with
his prison-clipped hair and his shoe-b button
eyes - one corner of his lip lifted in nasty
smile. and big black AS in his hand.
well, well, if it amt the honest copper!"
Big Mike jeered "All right, Crandall -
you asked for it!''
didn't even get chance to Jump at him.
Flame spat right in my face.
My knees buckled, and then everything
blacked out -.
When came out of it, was lying on my
bed in the upstairs room. My shoulder and
left arm were thick with bandages, and
Ellen was crying, "Oh. Joe! Joe!'
Doc Kirby was there, his face fat red
moon.
You're okay, Joe" he said. "Just flesh
wound. We've got the bullet out ~
Cannon" I managed to gasp. Get
word to Cap Rodgers!'

Rodgers stepped into my vision big
Mikes been taken care of! He tried to
shoot it out with the boys, when they had
him cornered"
"Dead?" l nrumbled. Fast work -"
"Fast?" Rodgers said. Say. we had Gan
non before his gun had time to cool off.
Joe. it was this boy of yours who put the
skids under Big Mike! He's better cop
than you are!'
Rodgers grin widened as he pulled Bud
from behind him, telling me how the kid had
seen Mike Cannon parking his car in the
field across the road. Bud had seen the

PORTABLE SOUND PROTECTOR
BECOMING POPULAR HERE

Seven portable sound projectors
have been bought by townspeople
of Seward recently, M. H. Sidner
of Seward Drug Company said
Thursday. Mostly they have been
purchased by churches and clubs
for entertainment and educational
purposes, but couple were to be
used by lecturers making tours of
the States.
The variety and richness of color
found in the Alaska scene make
color photography especially at
tractive even for camera novices,
Tourists, especially, like to get the
mountains, glaciers and wildlfe
pictures in color.
The type of portable sound pro
iector used here is a single unit
type about the size of a suitcase.
Besides these, number of silent
projectors have been sold lately,
and great many slide projectors.

CONTROL OF FISHERIES

There is no likelihood at this Ses-
sion that the Bartlett bill to trans
fer control of the fishery from the
Federal Government to the Terri
tory will be considered. The Int
rior Department has submitted a
strong adverse report on any
change in administrative status so
long as Alaska is Territory. The
department agrees there should be
no question at all of control being
shifted with the advent of state
hood.

explained, are largely the result
OF widespread use Of susceptible
varieties.
Harris survey, supplemented
by observations by DR.. O. A.
Vogel, U. S. department Of agri.
culture agronomist stationed at
WSC, showed heaviest infection
in fields of Alicel and Elgin
wheat. Both varieties have been
grown widely this year, with
paintings extending from Walla
Walla and Benton to Whitman,
Spokane and Adams counties.
Tall smut, Harris found, Is infect.
ing Elein, Alicel, Golden, Hymar
and Triplet varieties over most
Of the wheat area. Dwarf smut is
heavy in Douglas county and in
portions Of Spokane and Whit.
man counties. It Is interesting to
note, the plant disease expert
said, that the Wasatch variety In
Douglas county is free OF dwarf
smut in fields where it was form
erly quite abundant.
AS far as could be determined,
seed treatment for tall smut,
Harris said, was quite effective
in many fields, but spores OF tall
smut in the soil caused most, OF
this years losses. He said there Is
still q need for more careful seed
treatment by many growers, as
we'll as shifting to resistant var.
ieties. He added that late plant.
ing after rains would cut down
the amount Of tall smut infection
from the soil. Since dwarf smut
overwinters in the soil and may
stay dormant In the soil for up
to at least eight years, It Is es.
pecially important, the extension
specialist advised, to plant in-
fected fields to resistant varieties
recommended by the county a.
gent. Planting of varieties sus.
ceptible to tall smut such as
Elgin and Alicel should also be
discouraged, he added.

Anew Ordinance

4. An ordinance passed by the Kennewick City Council
last week is of those local laws which become neces
sary wherever town becomes city.
It seeks to put stop to the practice of shipping in
bankrupt stocks of goods and dumping them the mar
ket in sort of circus method without consideration for
the dignity of the city, the interests Of the permanent mer
chants and the pocketbooks of the people of the COM
nunity.
At the close of the week, the new ordinance con-
trolling auctions took effect the person who had been
ed doors not to open again. Before he left he commented
that 81 don't blame the city council or the merchants who
local merchants should have some protection
And so a historic date is created Local merchants
who invest in buildings, equipment fixtures, and stocks
n goods are protected Another job done by the city
council appauded by those whom it controls as well as
those whom it protects.

he Answer Is APool

Few subjects have had much airing in public
meetings and in the newspapers the dealing with
swimming in the irrigation ditch. But up until recently
little was done directly either to- stop the practice to
provide an alternative. ##.> ~-.
Now it appears the health board the police depart
ent and the irrigation districts cooperating in direct
action which is intended and which doubt will bring
about better control of the ditch.
Kennewick women can step forward and take bow
at this point for the action has doubt been brought
about by their nsisence that something should be DONE
They saw the dar ger children of the community in
swimming in water which everybody knew polluted
They agated that something be DONE and now something
Is being done. -
But merely to put stop to the swimming is not the
answer. Youngsters doubt feel initiated against by
the restrictions And who blame them? Who is there
who hasn't been in their places onged for the cool of fresh
hot day? The answer is to provide the thing
the kids need The is swimming pool whether it
be created by private subscription or in some other way
The health board, the police, the irrigation districts
and the ween who started the campaign, will doubt
receive the thanks of the community for bringing about
better protection the health of the youngsters but the
problem never will be solved until there is other
facility where the children swim on these hot days.
