Do It now! „ - • 4400 W. RTE. Grandma Sez e e e Seems t' this granny, if*s high time that folks take a stand against th' goin's on, wi' all th' high-jacking', these days. Me thinks it must pay off in some way, *r th' culprits'd give up on th' idee. What in tarnation, ails ' people, t' take th' chance o' total ruination, 'n possible death, t' commit sich offenses against society? But th' fault lies in th' lack o' strict penalties f'r th' crime. " Like all criminal acts, in this modernized world, ko' today, permissiveness has permeated th' entire structure, an' it seems t' be th' practice t' git away wi' all ye can, wi'out a bein' caught. There's a remedy, but, ' somehow folks don't seem t' have time t' make it possible. It takes a bit o' time, an' a bit o' grey matter t' git pen in hand, an' give th' representatives, th' law-makers, th' opinion o' th' general public, so' they c'n git busy an' legislate accordin'ly. Me thinks th' public 's a gittin' pretty tired o' hearin' o' crimes, in th' sky, an' all th' folks a being' jeopardized, account o' 'em. So few o' us take th' initiative an' write t' congressmen, an' represen­ tatives, they don't have enough pressure, from th' people they represent, an' things jist drift along, seemin'ly wi' th' hope that they'll jist go away. This ol' lady hain't e'er traveled, but once, by air, an' that was jist o'er old Lake Michigan. It takes money t' travel anywhere, these days, but me thinks I'd rather stay at home, n buck th' chance o' th' dastardly things atakin' place most ever'where, these days. Crime seems t' ha' b'come an occupation wi' some folks. It's enough t' have that well organized element that's in­ filtrated most ever'thin', e'en th' gover'ment, an' I'm sure me readers know, to whom • th' elder refers, wi'out this addeu insult t' society. feen th' organized group could be eliminated, wi' th' right control at th' head o' th' country. But there's one thing that stands in th' way, an' that's th' greased palms o' th' tempted. There's only one way th' disagreeable crime may be eliminated, an' that's when th' people take a positive stand against it, an' pressure our representatives into action.
