Bbt aa antrlght traitor. Prank J.
Wilson. Cltlef of the United SUtes
Secret Serrlce, said today In dls-
cnssiag the Secret Service pro
gram of crime preventloi^ through
education. “Counterfeit tnoney Is
an Instrument of war as surely as
tanks, planes, guns and bombs.
The history of warfare shows that
counterfeiting has again and
again been used to support mili
tary operations, and it Is not un
likely that this means of attack
may ba used In this country by
enemies of the United States"
Chief Wilson gaid.
"The Secret Service program of
crime prevention through educa
tion can be the means for thwart
ing such an attack and for foiling
the home variety of hoodlum in
his assault on the integrity of the
nation’s currency."
Daring the period 19H3 to I93fi
the American people lost an aver
age of 1771,000 each year as vic
tims of passers of counterfeit
bills. Most of these losses result
ed from a lack of knowledge
about the appearance of money,
and this deficiency w’as the
stock-in-trade of the bad-money
makers.
flghtlng^'for conn'ry to'tilach storekeepers
and other money handlers bow to
detect counterfeit'' money. Coun
terfeiting losses began to decrease
and the educational activity was
stepped up. By 1941 the Secret
Service had reached' millions of
•people by means of newspapers
and magasines. educa'ional mo
tion picturde. leaflets, a “Know
Your Money” booklet, merchan
dising counter displays, Instruc
live exhibits, and by the incor
pora" ion of “Know Your Money”
material in standard school text
books for use as a unit of study iu
high schools.
For the year ending June 30
1942, losses suffered by victims
of counterfeit money passers were
93 percent less than the 1933-
1936 average, and what had start
ed as a campaign has now become
a permtiment program of crime
prevention through education.
“Education can prevent the
crime of counterfeiting," Chief
Wilson said. "With the coopera
tion of the American public this
kind of education will defeat any
Fifth Column bad money plot. By
learning to detect counterfeit
money oipr citizens will help
themselves and their country, ano
strike a blow ot the enemies of
the United States.”

In 19 37 the Secret .Service
opened its “Know Your Money''
campaign, sending agents all over

ducted into the Army of the Unit
ed SUtes at the same time this
week at -Fort Bragg. The four
were residents of Mt. Olive.

could stay together throughout
their period of service. The
father was a mechanic's helper
and his son, Herman Henderson,
22, was a truck driver before en

The nephews, J. D. Royal, 30,
and Ernest Jones. 21, think high
ly of tlieir family. ‘‘If they let ns
■stay together we’ll show 'em
something,” declared Priva'e
Royal. Private Jones, who says
he was a "sport" in civilian fife,
broke in to add. “I wish we had
some more of our cousins along
—then there would be no Japs or
Germans stopping us."
