KOREAN INTERLUDE * • RUMORS REGARDING NARCOTIC PEDDLING IN McHENRY FALSE Malicious gossip concerning the peddling of marijuana in the McHenry community have been reported as widespread during the past week. Indignant citizens who checked with county, state and] federal authorities, learned that" no crimintal act of this kind had ever come to their attention in this area. The rumors stated names of persons who had been apprehended in this connection and further gave fantastic methods in which the narcotic had been distributed against the wishes of local young people. The F. B. I. was said to have made the arrests, which in itself discredited the stories since the illegal selling of marijuana, etc., is under jurisdiction of the narcotic division. Just what started the rumors is not known. Certainly with the recent shocking revelations of an increase in this type of illegal act in Chicago particularly, parents especially are vigilant, and rightfully, concerning such a practice being carried on. However, the maliciousness of stories which falsely condemn innocent persons bring discredit not only on those involved but upon the entire community. JOHN WIRTZ' MARRIED FIFTY YEARS OCT. 30 ,,,;t D.
