POLICE NEED OUR COOPERATION

The recent activities of one William
Walker in Tabor City raised q couple
of points which need to be, aired.
First, the Tabor City police depart
ment, particularly Ted Watts, night
policeman, is to be congratulated for
an outstanding job in arresting
Walker on charges of forgery and at
tempting to pass bad checks. Our
police department did we'll consider
ing the poor cooperation they receiv-
ed from persons to whom Walker
tried to give his worthless checks.
Only one out of several local mer-
chants bothered to call the police
when Walker offered them bad
checks. Several were suspicious, but
only one acted on his suspicious. If
our police department is to continue
to give us the kind of protection we
need against criminals like William
Walker, they must have the full CO.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1962-06-27

operation of every citizen in Tabor
City. No one should hesitate to call the
police when anything that even looks
suspicious arises.
We cannot expect police protection
unless citizens are willing to aid police
in their job.
The Superior Court is also to be
congratulated for the stiff sentence
handed out to Walker. His four to
eight year sentence should make him
think twice before attempting forgery
again, and it should serve as a warn
ing to other wOuld-be forgers.
If Tabor City is to remain a peace
ful, law-abiding community, incidents
like the William Walker case cannot
be allowed to happen, and only by
receiving the full cooperation of all
the townspeople can our police de-
partment continue to do the outstand-
ing job it has done in the past.

DON'T PUSH YOUR SCHEDULE
= plan to drive only three to four
hundred miles a day, and leave
some time to enjoy your vacation.
TAKE A BREAK - stop every
lOO miles or so and treat yourself
to coffee or a SOFT drink.
DON'T OVEREAT - save the
steak until you stop driving for
the day. If you're like us, the first
thing you want to do after good
meal Is to take good nap. So, eat
light and stay awake.
