Advertisement From where I sit 6y Joe Marsh Just the Facts, Ma'am! Having a red-hot crime wave in town. Specs McGuire and Buck Hanson were caught taking money out of parking meters— again. I was at Police Headquarters when a nice old lady rushed in to report them. "It was dark but I saw their faces in the flashlight beam" she said breathlessly.' 'You can't trust anybody these days!" She got flustered when Chief Benson explained that Specs and Buck are authorized collectors— working nights after their regular jobs. "Have to get 'em uniforms," said Benson. "Third time they've been turned in!" From where I sit, we ought to guard against accusing anyone of being "wrong" just because that's the way it looks to us. For instance, I've heard people talk against a neighbor because they didn't approve of his choice of beverage! (They liked tea, or something, while he preferred a glass of beer.) Be sure you have a case before you lay down the law. Copyright, 1956, United States Brewers Foundation Broadcasting • Telecasting June 18, 1956 • Page 111
