When you read his letter, you'll that he starts 'way back in the Stonehenge period and the days of the ancient Egyptians. Then he races through the years and sud- denly he shows us the policeman of today, bright, cheery and guard~ ing the lives of all the people.

Through The Ages Hold on, now, for the whirl- wind trip throu the ages with Johnny Desmond and his favorite cop: \Back through the ages, long before the Druids of ehenge, the pyramids of Egypt, e troglodytes of Petra, back to the threshold of time, it has been man's inherent duty to protect himself; first, from the inclem- encies of the weather, and sec- to the righteous, viz, The Po- liceman. \You can see him walking along just as' you or I, unper- turbed, swing his stick without a care in the world, one would imagine, and ready at all times to protect one even at the risk of his own life. A Guide Post Of Time \Neg:- gmh, never rough, or uncou ut vi sys- Tam of diaciptine\ the nature of the offense, the policeman becomes such a guidepost of time, that if one were to miss him in his usual beats, the day would which left us feeling as if we were big shots. And his roguish and clever little ways of sending us on with a smile and a feel- ing that if all men were like him what a better world this would really be. 1 of the above qualities and many more beyond me to describe can be found in my favorite cop, Frank McDermott. His uncanny knowl- edge of boys, of their little dif- ficulties, the different traits in their characters are diagnosed at a glance from him and his un- tiring efforts in all his little talks of promoting safety, make him in my estimation the high- est type, not only a policeman, but a man as well.\ Helps With School Work Beatrice Barak, 11, a student at the Woodmere grammar school, and who lives at 1088 Broadway, tells about the who helps with the children's school work! \We don't know what we would do without our 'Public Friend No. 1.' a \My Public Friend No. 1 is \And man, by his with other men in. a more . ern day, built up acquiring a good name, tress, the foundations It would be we sible to raze. day, each one Nuss Publishes Bally Wxept Sunder as the x. x. AAFT BELIEVED FROM EARHART SNIP LOCATED Drifts Ashore At Hawaii Off Northwest Tip Of Pqflc Isle HONOLULU, Oct. 8-(P) -A deflated rubber life raft tossed ashore at Hawi, north- west tip of Hawaii island, spurred investigation today of its possible connection with the disappegrance of Amelia Earhart on her ill-fated globe- circling venture. The raft, bearing the trade- mark, \J. Lansing Callan Air Raft, the boat in the bag, Hammondsport, New York,\ was found yesterday. Built Earhart Raft F. Marvin Callan of Albany, N. Y., said Air Cruisers, Inc., of Hammondsport, N. Y., a firm con- trolled by his brother, Commis- sioner J. Lansin Callan, had con- structed a special rubber raft for Miss Earhart's round-the-world fight. Lieutenant Thomas G. Richards of the navy flight base here, indi- cating there was a possibility the raft was one carried Miss Ear- it\ was not a navy raft. Officials of Pan- American's Hawailan inter-is- land air lines said the raft was not one of theirs. The Earhart plane disappeared in July in the vicinity of Howland Island, about 1,500 miles south of wail. George Palmer _Putbam, hus- band of Amelia Earhart, in Los Angeles, expressed doubt the raft was from Miss Earhart's plane, saying \all currents from the Howland area flow westward.\ He said he believed Miss Ear- hart carried a two-place yellow raft purchased in New Jersey.
