The Policeman's Ball is just
week away and various police of
ficers are now selling individual
tickets, so if you are stopped by one
of the officers on your beat, don't
get mad, but dig down and buy
ticket, remembering when you do so
that you will be helping the Fra
ternal Order of Police take better
care of the widows and children of
the members of the police force who
may pass on to the Great Beyond.

l get kick out of the attempts
being made to draw out Mayor Mills
regarding his political aspirations
(if any, in the coming elections.
| have feeling that the Mayor
is going to run for something
guess still is that it will be for Gov
ernor-but don't think he's going to
make up his mind for quite some
time to come. And of course you
mustn't forget that the Primary is
not until September, and the election
is not until November.
One thing l did notice, however,
was that in a recent interview with
a Morning Herald reporter, the May
or seems to have had a change of
heart regarding his running again
for Mayor when his present term ex-
pires. 1t wasn't so long ago, at
meeting of the board of directors of
the Chamber of Commerce, that the
Mayor made very flat statement
that he was not going to run for re-
election and that he could be quoted
on that
But noticed that in the Morning
Herald interview, when questioned
on this point, the Mayor is reported
to have answered that whether he
runs again or not depends entirely
on future developments. He did also
state, however, that personally he
would be content if he did a good
job for the people during his first
term.
