(AP) A pledge to observe the Eighteenth amendment has been circulated among Blytheville church-goers in a law enforcement campaign start ed by ministers of the city. The pledge, which several min isters have presented in their churches and is said to have been signed by a large number in each, reads: - "I promise my God. my country and my own soul that I will neith er drink, purchase nor procure liquor made or sold, In violation of law." As part of the campaign, the ministers have been preaching special sermons on Christian citi zenship and . law enforcement. The decision to circulate the pledge in their churches was reached by the ministers In the belief, it was announced, that churches should take & definite stand with reference to observ ance of the Eighteenth amend. ment and that such a movement would help to strengthen respect for all laws.

And now Ash lev, the specialist in laundry- marks, is chief constable of the. Yard. He 'succeeded Frederick Wens- lev. Britain's ace of detectives who retired August 1, after 42 years of service. Unlike Wenslev. who has the hawklike features of the perfect Sherlock Holmes, Ashley looks as mild as a Sunday school superin tendent. He entered his career of crime detection quite by accident: as a lad of 15 he crossed the patn oi hnrsrlar with diastrous results to the burglar, and when a police magistrate complimented him on the clever capture young Ashley decided to make a regular thing of it As soon as he could he Joined, tbe force.
