It gives statistics on all types of felonies, crime trends, incidence by day of the weeK, disposition of cases, and much other information. Figures listed in a "crime capsule," a summary of Ubi crime in the nation, concern every American: A total of 1,926,090 serious crimes reported in 1961, rep resenting a 3 percent increase over the previous all-time high recorded in 1960. , , , .. Crime during the past five years outstripped population growth by 5 to 1. . The crime clock ticked off four serious crimes per minute. Burglaries, numbering 852,500 in 1961, were up four percent. Average value of property stolen was $187 per burglary. Forcible break-ins were made in 70 percent of all burglaries while entry was gained by open means in 21 per cent. Three males were murdered for each female victim. Fifty three percent of the murders committed were by use of fire- ""value of property stolen reached $591,815,000, but the loss was cut to 48 cents on the dollar by effective police recoveries. Police performance in solving the violent crimes of murder, aggravated assault, robbery and forcible rape was up seven percent over 1960. Arrests for all criminal acts increased one percent with female arrests rising at a faster pace than male arrests. Arrests of young people under 18 were up four percent over the previous year. Nearly half of the juvenile arrests were hand led by police without referral to juvenile court. Arrests for white collar crimes of forgery, embezzlements and fraud were up four percent. Over eight police officers per 100 were assaulted during the course of duty in 1961 and 71 law enforcement officers were killed. Average number of police employees per 1,000 inhabitants was 1.9, no change over 1960. In this nation in 1961 there was, on the average, one murder every hour, one forcible rape every 33 minutes, one aggravated assault every four minutes, one robbery every six minutes, one burglary every 37 seconds, one auto theft every l'a minutes, "As crime continues Its upward climb, the demands on police increase," the booklet points out, "yet the number of full-time police employees to handle the job remains relatively constant. Rapidly expanding cities, both in area and population, require spreading even thinner the inadequate manpower now available to scores of law enforcement agencies ... An alert, cooperative citizenry can go a long way toward assisting the law enforcement profession in its drive to prevent crime and detect offenders."

Noticing the good work of the men of the Heppner Fire Protection district, Ken wondered if his place were within the boundaries of the dis trict. He asked Fire Chief Charles Ruggles about it, but Charlie didn't know for sure, and Ken said he would be in next day to check. Well, Ken didn't make It in, but he found out this week that he was within the boundaries for fire struck at his place at about the same time of day a week later than the Moyer fire. Neighbors and the firemen ral lied to help Ken as he had ral lied to help the Moyers. Heppner rural fire district responded, of course, and Turner said he just couldn't say too much about their good work. Lowell Gribble came out with a spray tank from Heppner and many others responded. Denny Swanson, home from service, and Doug Dubuque were work ing for Turner and they pitched in to save another stack of baled hay while Ken went for help. Ken told Doug and Denny to fight the fire for all they were worth, and they took him literally. The two worked to the exhaustion point. They had to wrap Doug with wet sacks after his ordeal from the fire, and he was pretty well scorched, but they prevented it from spread ing. In speaking of the firemen and his good neighbors, Ken said. "They are pretty wonderful guvs in our book." Chief Ruggles, Bill Farra and Fred Uimbel worked like trojans in bringing the fire under control, even though the barn was virtually consumed before they could reach the scene. Ken said it al most seemed to explode and was actually destroyed in about five minutes. It seemed almost In credible to him. IF THERE were any In the coun ty who didn't give Nels Ander son an AA rating as a county agent, it must be conceded now that he is entitled to that rating. Nels received his summer school grades from Colorado this week and was happy to discover that he made A's in each of the two courses he took. This was some what of a surprise because he found them pretty stiff and re quiring considerable research work. One thing about it. being a 4.0 student at his age gave Nels a talking point in chatting with his college age children. Most of us have to brag about the grades we got in college years ago while our children cast a skeptical eye on us, figuring a few grade points for exaggera tion with the passage of time, hut Nels has the real goods to show. Now that he is a four-point, we can't blame Nels for wanting lo go ahead and finish the work for his master's degree, which he Is thinking of doing. This man Is not only four point in summer school but he is four-point as a county agent, too. He lias a mighty important role in the county, and we have been out with him enough to see the high respect with which he is held for the vital work he is doing on agriculture. WHILE CREDITS are being passed around, we'd like to say a few words for Herman Slroeber, electrician for Kinzua Pomona Grange To Meet July 28 David Rowe of the Bureau of Municipal Research and Mrs, Elaine Esselstvn, executive sec retary of the Mid-Columbia Planning council, will be speak ers at Morrow County Pomona Grange in Boardman, Saturday, July 28. Rowe, of Pendleton, will speak during the afternoon lec turer's hour on zoning in Mor row county, and Mrs, Essplstyn will discuss work of the Mid Columbia council. The Boardman grange will be host for the meeting. Mrs. W. G. Seehafer, lecturer, announced the program. Corporation. This man has been awfully good about helping out business people, farmers and residents who have electrical troubles since there Is a shortage of electricians around here. We have been having trouble with a controller on the news paper press, and Herman came at 8 p.m. last night to get it operative again. He has respond ed when needed several times before after working a full shift at the mill. On Sunday we happen to know that he was called out twice to get farmers' pumps going and he ennn t roll Into hed until about midnight. But Herman thinks the Kinzua people are about the best people in the world to work for and the men there are the best going to work with. ' Ford's Tire Service, H. Nurse Car 9.45 J. K. Gill Co., H.
