& THE EDITOR
A Missing Bike
Dear Editor: On Tuesday morning my son rode his bicycle to school as he has done several mornings. He parked it in the rack at the junior high school. At 3:30 when he left school, the bicycle was gone. He thought maybe his brother took it home but he didn't. We searched everywhere before finally reporting the incident to the police. It had to have been taken from the rack. How hard did this person work to get this bicycle? 1 doubt that it was taken by a child, as it seems a parent would make him return it.

I hope when this person sees the joy in some child’s face, or is counting the money he got for it. or is painting it another color, he will also see the tears in my son’s eyes. He waited a long time to get a brand new bicycle, since he has four other brothers and sisters. After several hours had passed, we even went back to the school, with the hope it had been returned. but that didn't happen If you have any conscience or backbone at all. just return the bicycle to where you got it. You'll make one boy veryhappy and maybe you’ll feel better too. Mrs. Don Kinney and Kevin
me to write this letter and air my views. It is being said that the young people who are “Teepeeing" are being fined $5 a roll if caught. 1 would like to ask. when have the youngsters ever devised a more harmless way of playing pranks on each other’ I am wondering what the people who are doing the fining were doing at their age around Halloween. Upsetting trash cans’ Soaping windows and cars’ Pushing cars on railroad tracks? Taking tires off of cars? Or any of the many other things that happened around Halloween.
I might add that our house has received many Teepeeings both last year and already this year. Our young people have just as much fun cleaning it up as the ones who did it. Maybe the authorities do not realize that this is away of saying among the young people. “You are my friend”. You have really arrived
What Kind Os Prudes Are We ?
Dear Editor: Yes. what kind of prudes are we that we are making such a “big fuss” about a little toilet paper in the trees. Heaven help the people who never did anything worse in their lives. They’ve missed a lot. A good practical joke that doesn’t hurt anyone, or do any damage doesn't do any of us any harm. A few mornings last fall the streets really looked pretty, and no harm done. Would we rather clean soapy windows or shovel up garbage. Come on people — this is not a bad thing. The dope pushers and users walk all over our streets with

if you have been so honored. My question is this, “Why drive them to something which might be harmful or injurious, both to themselves and others, by clamping down on perfectly good dean fun which cannot possibly hurt anyone?” A parent who does not object to good clean fun
comments from officials that ‘we have no proof,’ yet a group of our own youths out on our own streets, having a good time aren’t allowed to enjoy themselves. For some people who don’t want to clean up the trees — the weatherman soon takes care of that by wind or rain. I think we are letting pranks, misdemeanors and lawbreaking become a bit confused. I hope I never get so bitter at youth or so grumpy or so angry’ at the world that I can’t smile at a prank committed by either a child or an adult. 1 wouldn't mind throwing a little paper myself.

Brademas Calls Ninety-First Congress 'Most Productive' In Anti-Crime Laws
WARSAW — Congressman John Brademas (D-Ind.) today said here that the Ninety-First Congress has produced more significant anti-crime legislation than any Congress in recent history. Addressing a breakfast meeting of the Optimists Club. Brademas said: “Congress has taken strong and effective action to protect law-abiding Americans from the racketeer, the dope pusher and the terrorist bomber. “Furthermore, after the Congressional session reconvenes in November, we expect to send President Nixon a bill — w’hich I co-sponsored — authorizing more than $3 billion over the next 4 three years for grants to states to upgrade state and local law enforcement systems.” Brademas singled out the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act as particularly significant. “The bill,” said Brademas, "contains important sections of a drug abuse education bill which had been the subject of extensive hearings before the education subcommittee which I chair. “Since one of the hearings took place here in Warsaw, the people of Warsaw can justifiably feel proud of the role they have played in helping to create this important new legislation. TW South Bend Congressman also said he was pleased that Congress had included in the Organized Crime Control Act two bills he had co-sponsored to crack down on terrorist bombings. “The bills I sponsored will increase the capability of Federal law enforcement officials to deal with incidents like the bombing of the mathematics building at the University of Wisconsin, which took the life of South Bend native Robert Fassnacht. “These cowardly acts, the work of demented extremists, must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. We must make sure that our law enforcement officials have all the powers they need in order to cope with the menace of those who traffic in terror ” Brademas concluded with a call for an increased Federal commitment to help state and local law enforcements agencies meet the challenge of a rising crime rate. “The recently-passed amendments to the Crime
