Crime Increase Challengin g

SubStantiated by actual events. While taken
as a whole and considering all virtues as
we'll as failinr$ we feel sure that life in the
United States is the most fruitful on earth.
The crime rate which is steadily rising is a
black mark on the record Of our country,
Because the United States citizen is the
most highly educated in the world, on the
average. and because he enjoys the highest
standard of living in the world, it is only
natural to expect a much lower crime rate
in the United States than in any other coun-
try While many countries must contend
with rates even higher than in the I. S.
there are many with lower rate than that
of the United States. even though the popu-
lation has not been blessed with the educa-
tional advantages Of Americans. This seems
to Indicate need for more law enforcement
officers and better preventive measures in
the war on crime.
Every community in the country can DO
its share by cleaning out corruption in law
enforcement agencies, cleaning up breeding
areas for crime, as demonstrated by past
records, and by electing public officials of
integrity and courage.

In the months ahead, if the Korean War

SO far as we can remember this is the
most far-reaching effort ever attempted
locally. An invitation has been extended TO
all citizens regardless Of church affiliation
to attend the services. Outstanding minis
ters of the Methodist churches in adjoining
states Of North Carolina and West Virginia
will occupy the pulpits in this concerted
effort to bring the spirit of Christ into the

slacken little, you hit lull and let down

This cycle applies to business just as it
does to the individual. Every now and then
business activities slow down to normal
after booming or abnormal period For
example, after a Christmas rush, or an
Easter season, or a midsummer season,
there is a leveling off period. Supply catches
up with demand. The trick then is to create
the demand to consume the supply. BY pre-
senting the supply in new and attractive
ways, by producing a better article and by
extra sales efforts. demands can be created
for items Of quality.

recently that more than two million major
crimes were committed in the United States

Moreover, the crime rate rose faster than

increasing 1t is estimated that the United
States gains about 800, 900 inhabitants a

which would allow for some increase in
crime without pushing the percentage rate
upward. the number Of majo crimes report
ed by the i. 3. J. shows that the rate. as
we'll rs the number of crimes is sharply up.
The seriousness Of the Hoover report is
seen in the statement by the FBI chief that
every category Of major crime showed an
increase in 1859. Mr.. Hoover reports that a
major crime was committed every fifteen

Once cattle or sheep eat a
small amount of fertilizer con-
tanning a nitrate, death usually
results in a few hours. Symptoms
Of fertilizer poisoning include de-
preston, weakness. indigestion,
vomiting, diarrhea. and bloating.
A veterinarian should be called at
once when fertilizer poisoning Is
suspected. He may be able to cut
losses If he treats the ANIMALS
early.
The best treatment is prcvcn-
ton, Lltton says. Store fertilizers
in a safe place where livestock
cannot get at them. preferably in
q room or shed which can be
locked DO not let cattle or other
livestock Craze fields which have
been fertllized until there have
been one or two good soaking
rains. Destroy fertilizer bags so
none OF the ash can oe eaten by
livestock. OF store the bags in a
Shed OF room where livestock can
not enter.
