COMMUNICATION
I have had the pleasure of hear
iag of violation and wish to take
this opportunity to say a few words
in regards to same:
Now friends you know and I
know thpt co-operation with the po
lice generally brings the desired re
sults.
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.
Sincerely yours,
