In Rural Areas,
FBI Reports
Country areas are getting
worse (7.5 percent worse) while
cities show improvement in the
crime situation. That’s what the
Department of Justice has just
announced through the Federal
Bureau of Investigation
Figures of the Uniform Crime
Reports bulletin of the FBI re
veal, however, that both the city
and country areas have a long
way to go before they get back
down to pre-war crime levels.
Country burglars are first on
the crime list of the FBI. They’ve
increased 17.1 percent in the first
six months of 1947. Other top
crimes in rural areas are larceny
and rape, according to the bul
letin.
Slightly more encouraging is
the report that murder and man
slaughter slipped in both rural
and urban areas. Auto thieves
are on their way out, too: possib
ly because there aren’t many
automobiles left to catch a
thief’s fancy.
CHAMBER TO MEET
The next regular meeting of
the Palmer Chamber of Com
merce is scheduled for Wednes
day, Oct. 2, it was announced
today by the Chamber secretary,
Zola Fineman. The group will
meet at noon in the basement of
the St. John’s Lutheran church.
LUtoch will be served by mem
bers of the Lutheran Ladies’
Aid.
FLIES HOME
Marvin Schoneheit, who has
been visiting his sister, Mrs. Alba
Brooks of Palmer, flew back to
his home in Saginaw, Mich.,
last week. He planned to return
in a week or two, and will make
his home in the Valley.
Mr. Schoneheit has been an
employe of the Matanuska Elec*
trie Association during his stay
here.
To Fairbanks
Don Irwin, director of experi
ment stations in Alaska, and O.
E. Reed, head of the dairy divi
sion of the Department of Ag
riculture, expected to leave on
a short trip to Fairbanks early
this week. Mr. Reed, here from
Washington, D. C., is making an
inspection of the dairy industry
in Alaska. He also will assist
Mr. Irwin in the setting up of
a dairy research project for the
territory.
RETURNS TO VALLEY
Herman Rempel, former Val
ley resident, returned to Palmer
last week from his present home
in Upland, Calif. Mr. Rempel
hopes to purchase a farm here.
Once he finds a suitable place,
Mr. Rempel plans to go Outside
for his wife and child. They will
drive back to Palmer over the
Alaska Highway.
The prospective farmer is at
present employed on the con
struction work at Bert’s drug
store.
