Billy, the other man, gigeled like child

Although nothing had been searched or

named Joe sat in a second chair facing his
victim, the hand holding the gun resting
on corpulent thigh. II was not a hand

containing his own gun was but few
steps away from his chair. And between

Moore Says Clean
Up Fights Crime

Clean Up-Paint UP-F1x Up L:
not only a campaign for civic bet
torment and Identification but a
means of reducing crime, Police
Chief James Moore announced to-
day.
"The Clean Up program lowers
the crime rate in several import
ant ways" Chief Moore said.
First of all, it's good training in
cooperation for our children and
diverts their energy into produc-
tive directions. The youngsters
learn respect for property and the
enjoyment to be gained from
working together for common
goals.
Secondly, by focusing attention
on slum and rundown areas, the
environment which is the breeding
place of much juvenile Delinquent
cy and crime begins to be elm
mated.
SIN addition, as our alleys and
yards are cleaned, painted, and
better lighted, the criminal has
less and less opportunity to hide
himself from police detection.
For everyone's safety and
peace of mind, support the Clean
Up-Fix Up program
and fight crime" the police chief
urged.

Clean House Is
Fires Enemy,
StatesDawe

Fire proof your home with
cleanliness in 1857, Fire Chief Ben
Dave urged today as Sidney's
Clean Up-Paint Up-Fix Up cam
paign opened.
Extra good housekeeping plus
following certain safety hints will
reduce fires chances of striking
home and family" the chief said.
He suggested these protective
measures.
Clean out leaves from cutters.
Keep leaves and dried grass
away from building foundations.
Burn trash in a special isolated
area, with an attached hose al
ways nearby.
Give particular attention to
clearing out attic and basement,
garage and closets of old cloth
ing, furniture, piles of newspap-
ers and magazines.
Never keep flammable liquids
such as gasoline in the house.
Oily rags should be thrown
away or closed in metal contain
ers. Oily mops should be hung
up with plenty of air circulating
around them, preferably outside.
Install a heavy, tight-fitting
door at top of basement steps to
check possible fires spread.
Check and clean heating plant.
Dust fixtures and lights.
Replace frayed electrical cords.
Have ar electrician check wir-
ing to determine adequacy.
With trash, flammable liquids,
oily rags cleared out, spontaneous
ignition is practically eliminated,
the chief explained. In addition,
should fire start from an uncon-
trollable source, it will not have
the ready fuel of papers, rags, old
mattresses, etc. to feed on and can
be quickly extinguished.
"Check Up, Clean Up-PaintUp
Fix Up, to defeat a stubborn
foe, fire." the chief added.
