Chief Kiser Says
Police Eager To
Help Visitors
(Editor’s Note: The Try on
Daily Bulletin in cooperation with
the Governor’s Hospitality Com
mittee of which Senator F. P.
Bowon is chairman of Polk County,
is publishing a series of articles
by local officials and civic leaders
emphasizing the need for hospi
tality to visitors. The third of
these articles appears below from
Chief Hague Kiser of the Tryon
police department).
While there has been a decided
improvement in the methods, man

during recent years, still the av_

officer, or even a casual contact
with him in his official capacity, is
something not wholly pleasant.
Consequently,, members of our de
partment have an unusual oppor
tunity to express cordiality and
hospitality to our visitors that will
vividly impress and lastingly please
them.. It is a kind and sympathet
ic attitude coming from an unex
pected source, and therefore all
the more to be remembered by
visitors.
A visit to a town by a traveller
is often remembered favorably or
unfavorably as the direct result
of treatment received by an officer
in that town. Since this is surely
true, we in the police department
are undertaking to be more and
more alert to our opportunity to
be of service to our visitors. It

It Is All A Mistake
By Thomas A. Boynton
The New York-Dublin non-stop
| mystery flight completed Mionday
by what the Irish termed a “crazy
but wonderful pilot” seems to have
stolen the show from the glorious
earth-circling spin of Howard
Hughes that ended in triumph for
the youthful financial wizard last
week.
Certainly, the more recent
achievement has not been with
out significant consequence. Al
most speechless When Corrjgali
dropped his 9-year-old crate thru
the clouds of sunny Ireland, in
