FOR YOUR PROTECTION, REMEMBER TO:
Turn down gilts from strangers
, Refuse rides offered by strangers
Parents Urged to Educate
Children About Molesters
By GAY PAULEY
New York IUP1I "It seems
unbelievable," said a neigh
bor of fo'ir-ycar-old Edith
(Googie) Kiccorius, "that on
a day when nobody was
working lie could have
walked down the street and
in there with her and nobody
noticed."
Police on Sunday found the
battered, sexually assaulted
body of the blondo tot in a
rooming house on Manhattan's
West Side. She had dis
appeared on Washington's
birthday from the sidewalk
in front of her home.
Such crimes seem, as the
neighbor, Mrs.- Beatrice
Bicke, had said, "unbeliev
able." Yet they happen and the
black headlines tell the grim
story of the children who are
what New York's police com
missioner Michael J. Murphy
calls victims of the "vicious
degenerate."
'Human Vultures'
J. Edgar Hoover, director
of the FBI, calls these crimi
nals "human vultures." And
their threat "hangs
every community in
over
our
land," says Hoover in a re
cent publication called "The
Menace of the Child Mo
lesters." At what rate they commit
their heinous acts, federal
authorities can only guess for
police departments use vary
ing labels to book these
criminals.
Police . authorities believe
this type of crime will be re
duced or wiped out only as
parents and school authorities
educate their children suffi
ciently to the dangers of asso
cition was strangers.
The FBI began one such
campaign four years ago with
coloring books, distributed
through elementary schools.
The sketches taught the les
son of turning down rides by
strangers, of refusing gifts
such as candy, of the need to
be home after dark unless
with some member of the
family. The FBI said more
than three million of the
books had been distributed,
New York City's police de
partmcnt has a section on
child safety in its "Pamphlet
for Women," a publication of
the public Information office
Called "Children Need Pro

be repented too often to par

"Remember these things

Ashland - "Miracle in the
Evening" by Norman Bel
Geddes was reviewed by Mrs.
Chester Putney when mem
bers of Fortnightly Study
club met at the home of Mrs.
Harold Thomas, 170 Sherman
street. The short subject was
presented by Mrs. W, O.
Yates.
The book reviewed is auto
biographical and covers the
author's amazing lifetime of
wealth and poverty, success In
widely diversified fields from
Industrial engineering to the
atrical production. Most Inter
esting was Geddes' ability for
round-the-clock brain func
tioning, a faculty which he ex
ereized from earliest boyhood
and which established him in
a commercial art firm at more
than $500 a week when he
was only 23 years old. v
The unsolved mystery of
Dorothy Arnold as written by
Allen Churchill was Mrs.
Yates' choice for the half-hour
topic. "The Girl Who Never
Came Back" is an account of
the disappearance of a wealthy
young woman who dropped
from sight more than a half
century ago.
