JeffersonviIIe's
Police Chief Out
In DUTY Charges

JEFFERSONVILLE, O., - The
Jeffersonville Council discharged
its police chief Monday night amid
charges of "dereliction of duty,
malfeaSance, miSfeasance and non
feaSance.
1t terminated its connections
with Ernest Fout, one of Fayette
County's Republican candidates for
sheriff in last Mays primary. The
dismissal will be effective at mid
night Tuesday.
Afterward, council voted unani-
mously to turn over all reports of
purported dereliction of duty to
Fayette County Prosecutor Rollo
Marchint.
Before the action to discharge
Police Chief Fout was introduced,
Springfield Attorney Adelaide Seip
presented traffic tickets which she
said were paid in Jeffersonville be-
tween October and January.
AS soon as Mrs. Seip presented
the tickets, Jeffersonville's village
clerk leafed through records to de-
ternine whether the bail money
was turned over to the village But
she said she failed to find any rec
ords of traffic monies between Oc-
tober and Jan. %.
One, ticket for violating the viii
lagos only traffic light, said Mrs.
Seip was given to Lindsey Reed,
1114 Highland Ave, Springfield,
on Dec. g.
Mrs. Seip turned over the tick
ct and a Cancelled check which she
said Mr.. Reed cashed in Jeffer-
sonville restaurant in order to pay
the bail money in cash.
The small 75-year-old village
meeting room was jammed with
officials and spectators as the
monthly council meeting was OPEN
ed and spectators continued to
pour into the room as the meet
ing progressed.
The resolution which removed
Chief Fout from office was some
what technical. Village officials
learned last week that he had NOV
ed from Jeffersonville's corporate
limits. and the village charter
specifies that the chief of police
must reside within the towns linn
its.
But Police Chief Fout failed to
attend the council meeting.

Sale Of Drug Is
Index To Anxious
Condition Of US.

If sales of the new tranquiliZing
drugs are any indication, the en-
tire nation is sitting on the anxi-
Gus seat. Doctors are beginning to
be alarmed at the American peo-
pies rush to buy these "anti-wor-
ry" pills.
There's no doubt that the new
drugs have been a great help in
treating certain types of patients
in mental hospitals. Doctors find
their quieting action valuable for
patients suffering abnormal ankle
ty-that is, when the drugs are
taken under proper supervision.
Unfortunately, the drugs aren't
always taken under proper condi-
tons or for sufficient reason. Peo-
pie for whom the drugs have been
prescribed are handing them out
to their friends as if they were as
harmless as aspirin. There are ru-
mors of large black market" ped
ding of the tranquiliZerS without
prescription, contrary to regula-
tionS of the Food and Drug Admin
iStration.
Like many other valuable drugs,
tranquilizers are not harmless.
Their action in the body has only
been partially established. For in
stance, it's known that they quiet
a noisy, overactive person without
destroying his contact with reality.
But mental faculties are some
what dulled and abilities are i'm
pared. There have been cases of
dangerous side affects such as dis
turbed sense of balance, nausea,
stupor, tremors, swelling and even
collapse of blood vessels. They can
make mental depression even deep
er, and suicides have been reported
as an aftermath.
This is bad enough but there is
perhaps an even greater danger.
The anti-Worry pill boom reflects
widespread tendency to try to
find peace of mind through easy
formulas. Normal anxiety is not
undesirable. It's an emotional sig
nal, warning us of danger re-
quiring our attention. If we dull
anxiety we can also dull incentive.
What will happen to nation drift
ing peacefully along in a blaze of
happiness pills?
The healthy individual, the heal
thy nation must be alert to exist
ing problems, must work through
anxiety to achieve progress.
