AWARDS PRESENTED

INDIANAPOLIS, May 18- Awards for meritorious public service in 1943 have been presented to the Indiana state police post at Seymour and to several individual members of the Charlestown and Lafayette posts, it was announced today by Don F. Stiver, state police superintendent. Detective Wilbourn Bufkin and Troopers Albert E. Hertzing and Caryl Bell, all of Charlestown post, were credited with solving the best hit-run case entered in the contest. Their investigation resulted in conviction of George Lewis Nichols, 20, New Albany, in connection with the fatal injury of Billy Carter, 15, Clarksville, last September 27 in an

auto-motor bike tragedy.

Award for the best criminal case solution went to Detective Ernest Kiohardson and Herman Freed, of Lafayette past, whose investigation led to a life sentence in Michigan City state prison for Will R. Puckett, 64, of Lafayette and Chicago, for the

He may not go in with the first wave ... hut keeps stepping on their heels ... For tne snells are still whining overhead, and enemy strafing planes are still churning the beachhead sands with machine gun bullets, when G. I. Joe, of the Army Service Forces, starts hustling in the supplies ... tanks, guns, jeeps, shells, ammunition, medicines, food. There’s nothing glamorous about this work-horse job . .. But it’s helping win a war for Uncle Sam! Because whether it’s from beachhead to firing line ... or from factory to embarkation port... the transportation of fighting equipment is one of the war’s biggest jobs. And as our armies move closer to Tokyo and Berlin, that job will grow constantly bigger with each advancing step. We of the railroads already know how

big our part of it is. We know that, in spite of growing manpower shortages, we must meet in full the increasing transportation demands of the armed forces— no matter how great they become. And we know that this will call for even closer cooperation between the railroads and the shippers and receivers of freight. And to those of you who plan to travel by rail, we urge once again that you first consider whether your trip is essential. For you and wc and G. I. Joe are in this fight together . . . and only by working together can we get this bigger job done. New York Central OAtr or 4MFK/CA S JMUKOtO*
