Drunks were surprisingly few.
I found myself most "sorry for
the thin, middle-aged man who
was being told at the city hall
that he would have to spend the
remainder of the night in jail be
cause he had no 150 bail for his
reckless driving charge.
Then there was the girl who,
stopped by a . plain clothes man
who asked her age (curfew is
back again, you know), termed
him a j "wolf." Bet she'll never

that Salem is just as different a
place to live, at least on Saturday
nights, las an army camp!
