Massed on the fact that girls
becoming too “gullible and trust
ing” Willis warned that every 43
minutes there Is committed a rape
or ah aasault in the United States.
Willis considered the Polks de
partments a business institution
and Mid politic* should be kept out
of it. There have been too many
instances of efficient police chiefs
being kicked out of office after
an election of new officials. It re
quires some time to train e good
police chief, and to fire oae after
every election year can only harm
the service in the long ran.
Because of lew salaries end
crooked gelMee, good qualified men
^cannot be attracted into the police
•forcee fhd consequently many local
law enforcing agencies are unable
to cope with the alarming increase
In crime. This can only be corrected
by an aroused public, Willis sut
Many foreign-made firearms
falling into the wrong hands, Will
is warned the group, is responsible
for many crimes, and weapons
should he registered for the pro
tection of everyone.
Willis concluded his address by
asking bustnsM men to be on the
lookout for forged and fraudulent
checks, and posts** were eahilit
od before the Ktwenis to shew hew
