Q ne-Third Of All
A rrests In State
F or Drunkenness
Farmvi|le In Line
With 81 DRINKS
Arrested Last Year

The largest number Of arrests
were made last year for being
drunk in public places. That
statement runs through police
summaries Of every town and
county in Virginia
Farmville is right III line with
the majority, and 37l arrests were
made in town last year because
Of person drunk In public places
Careless and reckless driving was
second with ITO arrests and speed
ing third with 1913 arrests. How
ever these two together could not
equal the arrests Of public DRINKS
The year 1856 was short
year in Farmville covering ONLY
from September to June. however
the number of arrests for being
drunk in public places reached
277. and as usual was the largest
single cause Of arrest.
For the entire State of Virginia
more than one third of the per-
sons jailed were committed for
being drunk Farmville runs a
little behind these figures per-
centage- wise
The State report shows that only
about two per cent more DRINKS
were jailed las tyear than in like
period the year before.
Farmville police officer, George
Crowder. said he has seen no ap-
preciable increase in the number
Of drunks in recent years. The
DRINKS are generally nuisance.
Crowder said, but only a few offer
resistance to being jailed
Almost without exception those
arrested on drunk charges are
convicted in court. CroWder said
there is very little difference in
the number of arrests made ac-
cording to race There may be a
few more colored persons arrested
for drunkenness. he said but
there is not an appreciate differ
ence"
Almost as bad as the charge Of
being drunk in public places are
the arrests that result from drink
ing Disorderly conduct, cursing
and abusive language. no opera
tors license, drunk driving gamb-
ling and several other arresting
categories may be directly related
tot drinking alcoholic beverages
Crowder said most of the DRINKS
were arrested on routine patrols
by the policemen and occasionally
they we're arrested because Of
complaints from people in their
vicinity

LOS ANGELES Calf.

LOS ANGELES, Calf. -
Folk dancing has aroused
such a great interest in the
area, during the past few
years, that many clubs have
been organized to promote a
better understanding of our
native songs and dances. A
mong these is st. Anthony's
kolo Club.
This club, now entirely
composed of young people
between the ages of 13 and
25, has done much to fur
ther the knowledge and ap-
probation of our Slavic cul-
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1957-09-25

at every convention since
then.
Strangely enough a motion
was adopted at one conven-
ton to employ field men, but
for some reason or another
the decision was never car
ried out. So the problem is
still with us, and we could add
also that we are not any more
nearer to a solution today
than we were so or SIS years
ago.
The Answer: Field Men
Now each of us should be
deeply concerned with the
present situation confronting
us in the CFU, and no matter
how we may try to gloss over
a report recently published by
the Supreme Secretary, we
must admit to the fact that
in spite of much hullabaloo
and the expenditure of thou
sands of dollars, we actually
showed a loss in adult men,
bership of some 244 members
in a period of three and one
half years.
And this during a period
when we were proclaiming
to the world that we were
enrolling new members by
tho thousands.
And while we may derive
some consolation from the
fact that this same condition
prevails among others of the
so-called foreign la n qua 6 e
fraternal societies, it is not
going to solve our own imme-
date problem.
So we must come up with
a new approach to the solici-
tation Of new members. The
answer - in my opinion -
is a Field Force. And we, in
the CFU, would be wise to
take note of what has been
done and is being done by 9TH
ers in this field.
We Can't Be Negative
Among the objections that
have been raised to the Field
Man idea is that it will kill
off lodge interest.
Well, I do not know what
the situation is out here a.
