Remember this fact that tthere is no man here working from 16 to 20 hours a day and Vernonia has a lot of territory. Once a month we are compelled to have at least 40 winks whether we need it or not. Now perhaps some of you are not aware of the fact that the police must have the “dope’’ on the party or parties before taking any action and those of you who are aware of any violations and wish to have them stopped ought to be willing to report same. If you know of law violators and have not got the courage to come to headquarters and lay your complaint for fear your name may be let out you are as much a violator as the one who actually commits the offense. If you have not the nerve to file your complaint then do not try to make the “goat" out of the police. When the police get the right “dope” they make the move, and I will guarantee you that if you file your complaint, I have got the“guts” to move on any place in our city re gardless of whom or where it may be. I cannot see everything that goes on in all parts of the city at once and if you cannot co-operate then don’t gossip. Our city is not any worse than any other and our people are A 1 so why not stop this see-saw and all pull together with one aim “A bigger and better Vernonia.” Co-operation spells “success.” Gossip spells “Jealousy.” Lets have co-operation.
