Public Key To Local

Property Protection

Public cooperation and awareness are the keys for protection of property from burglary and theft, Sgt. Bill Stone, public relations officer for the Putnam County Sheriff Reserve unit, said yesterday as he spoke to the Greencastle Kiwanis Club in the DePauw Union. The reserve, which has an authorized strength of 15 men, works directly under the county sheriffs department and is a strictly volunteer non-paid unit with each man responsible for purchasing his own uniform and equipment. Stone briefed the club on the National Neighborhood Watch program which is sponsored by the National Sheriffs Association and the Law Enforcement Assistance Associa-

Injuries Reported In Auto Mishaps

Two motorists were arrested and lodged in the Putnam County jail late Thursday night and early this morning and both were charged with driving while under the influence of intoxicants. Gerald K. Rumley, 31, 6 N. First Street, was booked by Deputy Sheriff Mel Mangus at 12:35 this morning Joel B Cummings, 25, Mooresville Road, Indianapolis, was booked at 11:45 p.m. Thursday by Trooper Lanny Fields of the Putnamville State Police Post. Cummings was involved in a rural one-car accident on Ind. 243 when he lost control of his 1965 Ford. The car

went off the road and struck a culvert, one-half mile north of Lieber State Park. Injured in the mishap was his wife, Carol D. Cummings, 18. She suffered a fractured pelvis and lacerations on her right hand and right foot. She was taken to the Putnam County Hospital in the Whitaker ambulance where her condition was reported as “fair.” Another personal injury accident occurred at 4 p.m. Thursday on Interstate 70 in Putnam County at Mile Post 44 which is between County Road 475 and Higgins Road. State Trooper Harry Swank reported that the ve-

tion. This is an educational program designed to help homeowners protect their own property as well as that of their neighbors. Material is available through the reserves to explain to the homeowner how he can burglarproof his home and provide greater security against theft. It is a program whereby neighbors can watch each other’s property while one is on vacation or away from the premises. “It is a good idea,” Stone said, “to know the cars in your neighborhood. An unknown car or truck, appearing at odd times, could be someone intent on breaking and entering a home temporarily vacated.” Stone said that the Putnam County Sheriffs Department recorded 57 cases of breaking and entering and theft in 1972. The following year, the recorded number was 39. On the surface, this seems encouraging, however, only about half of the actual thefts are reported to the sheriff, according to Stone. Burglary and theft will increase in the county in the opinion of Stone. He bases this observation on the fact that those who commit such crimes are being driven out of metropolitan areas and find “picking” better in less populated neighborhoods. Hendricks County is already experienced an influx of such persons from Indianapolis. The sheriffs reserve was established a year and a half ago and is made up of men from Bainbridge, Greencastle, Fillmore and the Clinton Falls .area. Men from other parts of the county are eligible to bring the unit up to authorized strength. Sgt. Stone said that the reserves assist the sheriff in at least four ways. Reserves can man the jail, allowing the sheriff and deputies more time for their outside duties. Members can assist deputies by riding in patrol cars with them. At public events, the reserves can maintain crowd control and in event of disaster or other emergency, these volunteers can be assigned to special duty by the sheriff.

County Playhouse Readies

'Blue Denim’ For July 25

Following the triumph of “Fiddler on the Roof,” the Putnam County Plavhouse now has turned its efforts to polishing its next Stage O.ie production of “Blue Denim.” The play is a poignant story of problems involved with a fifteen year old boy growing up and discovering the many facets of lovejoys, sorrows, responsibilities,” the group said. The story shows how his buddy sees him through his troubles, while his family remains unaware of his struggles and suffering. Mark Carr, a new face in PCP circles this year, portrays Arthur Bartley, and Melodie Strain plays Janet Willard, the girl friend with whom he is emotionally involved. These two

parts were played by Brandon de Wilde and Carol Lynley in the movie version of “Blue Denim.” 1 he father and mother of Arthur are portrayed by playhouse veteran Jack Cook and another newcomer to the PCP stage, Jean Holley. The difficulties of these two parents will be recognized by many, as they face the problems brought about by their inability to communicate w ith their son. Supporting roles include Bruce Fccles as Ernie, the buddy that sees Arthur through his troubles, and Margaret Chase as Lillian, the older sister.
