POLICE ACTIVE
PURSUIT OF THE SEED POTATO
Police officers who are. noticed plodding their weary way homeward these days with haggard lace' and limp right arm are victims not. ol' a crime wave but of the potato wave. Crime has been almost relegated to the background of their daily lives while they deal with the llood of home gardeners who want a police witness to their applications for seed potatoes. Since the announcement requiring a police signature for these applications was made last Wednesday police officers of all ranks have been badgered by the. public at all times and places for their signatures, and most of them, well on the way to chronic writer's cramp, are eagerly awaiting the passing of the last day for such, applications. Then tliov can get back to the comparatively settled job of crime prevention.
