I’ll look at the sun with it’s brightness and glare and drift into space like I wasn’t evan there I think about problems that seem to get me down So my friends can see me with a smile, not a frown For all I want is happiness and laughter is my key Cause when I laugh it seems my problems float out to sea Then I notice it’s getting dusk and turn and ride away Slowly at first then faster, only to return the very next day.

What some of us fail to un derstand is the undeniable evidence that it is not confined to Chicago. New York or Miami. The mugger, the drug pusher and the killer are just as active in small towns as in metropolitan areas. The greedy hands of the syndicate reach out into every nook and corner of the land— where money can be made at the expense of the law abiding. citizens. Mafia chiefs care nothing about state lines, city limits or even international borders. They only seek to emass fortunes and the well being of everyone is of no concern of theirs. The majesty of the law does not deter them nor the fear of exposure prevent them from carrying on their dastardly deeds. If this sounds like a “scare” story—it is not. Although many readers of this newspaper may live in small towns, they are not immune to the danger of organized crime and professional criminals. The crime rate has increased by leaps and bounds in the past decade. The ugly record of murders, burglaries, safe crackings, drug pushing, bank robberies and swindles has gone up and up. What is the solution? Additional police? Better trained and educated law en forcement officers? A more alert Justice Department? Harsh punishment for of fenders? Perhaps all of these things would help. But, the nal answer lies with the public. Only the citizens can, and must demand the end of this scourge upon our nation. For it is within the power of the public to insist that the battle against the spreading disease of crime be intensified and the blight be erased from our land. It is the citizens who can require stricter enforcement of the laws and stern punishment for those found guilty of violations. We, the public, can place in office those men and women most qualified to wage the battle against criminals—and bring it to a successful conclusion. The crook and his ilk can be defeated. Respect for law and order, which has dropped to a low ebb, can be restored by the cooperation of all Americans. No criminal or gang of criminals can face an aroused public and hope to win. No con man, counterfitter or dope smuggler can operate in the face of strong opposition from John Q. Citizen. From the godfather to the little creep who peddles reefers on the corner, all are afraid of a solid front presented by those who are law abiding and decent. Crime cannot survive unless the apathy of the public allows it to do so. Criminals cannot ply their illegal trade unless they are sure most Americans are unaware or unconcerned about their actions. Underworld bosses have grown rich because the citizens do not strongly denounce them and demand that they be brought to justice. Mafia bigwigs have used payoffs, threats and violence to silence those who spoke out against them. It is time to call a halt. This country, which is celebrating its 200th birthday, was founded on justice, the majesty of the law and mutual respect among men. The United States has long been the leader of the free world. We have been the symbol of fairness and right. No enemy has ever been able to overcome us. Now, we face decay from within. Crime is in our midst and gnawing at the vital organs of our nation. Like the skilled surgeon removing a dangerous growth— we must cut away this cancer of crime so that this nation can remain the finest place on earth to live and prosper. It is a job for each one of us. Regardless of our station in life—we are free Americans. Men and women who will not be enslaved nor placed in mortal fear by crooks, cheats and scum who fatten their purses at the expense of the public.

The agreement was the outgrowth of studies by NOAA and DCPA with con sultation by the National Association of State Directors and the U.S. Civil Defense Council.) DCPA and NOAA fully support a policy for maximum use of sirens for disaster warning purposes. Joint policies for action in furtherance of this position have been developed and will be carried out in concert with the June 1973 agreement between DCPA and NOAA for joint participation in the management and operation of a national program for com munity preparedness. Authorities for these actions derive from longstanding authorities of the agencies for warning preparedness assistance programs and the Disaster Relief Act of 1974. These policies included the following: 1. All communities exposed to the threat of tornadoes, flash floods or tsunamis will be urged to use sirens as an integral part of local warning plans and systems. 2. Communities will be urged to educate the public as to the meaning of the siren signal used for disaster warning and actions to be taken. 3. Development of siren warning systems will be given priority attention in the DCPA NOAA programs for community preparedness. Responsibility for Siren Activation—Siren systems that are purchased by cor "n uni ties with assistance through the use of DCPA matching funds are instated for the primary pur pos^spA providing a national attads warning capability. They are bailable for use in natural disaster warning situations at the discretion of local govern ment authorities and their use for this purpose is encouraged. The DCPA policy is that the wailing siren tone be used only as the attack warning signal. The steady siren tone may be used to indicate threatened or impending natural disaster or whatever local authority may decide. —Authority to sound warning sirens should be given to more than one local government of fice, manned around the clock, to insure backup capability. National weather service offices which are responsible for issuing warnings will also accept responsibility as one of the of fices with the authority to ac tivate siren systems for warning of tornadoes and flash floods when approved by local authorities. When feasible, the NWS office may be one of the sites where controls may be installed for activation of sirens. Caswell News A group of 34 musicians from the N.C. Symphony Orchestra played to a large audience in the recreation building at Caswell on January 21. This gives rise to several thoughts. The first is that it was gracious of the musicians to give their time to Caswell. The concert brought variety into lives that tend to be monotonous for in a large institution the residents see the same people and do the same things over and over. We are grateful. We welcome groups that come to entertain here. The second is that the musicians brought excellence to our campus. They shared their talents. The third is the question of whether it was wasteful to bring their talents here. Can the residents appreciate classical music? The answer is "Yes, if it is classical music that has an easily recognized beat.” In the early part of the performance the members of the audience were polite but restrained. When the orchestra played a march the residents spontaneously clapped. Smiles covered their faces. They came alive. The concert ended with a polka which was also greatly enjoyed. This brings the fourth thought. We can educate anybody if we have the skill to find the ap propriate material. It is our business to develop such skill for all human beings are capable of learning and if those in our charge fail to do so we are responsible.
