Kids Give No Alibis OAK PARK, Mich. UP) When an Oak Park youngster whizzes through a stop sign on his cycle he gets a ticket. "One thing about a kid he accepts his ticket like a man," Chester Hartline said. "That's more than you can say for most of the fathers.

"When you catch a 12-year-old going through a stop sign on his bike, he admits he did wrong." Safety violators receive police citations which carry no penalty, but the youngsters are required to have their parents sign the citation and mail it to the Public Safety Department.

By SID TORTER DELAND The escape record at the state prison camp here is improved and it should be. For one thing a prisoner taking it on the lam must be more desperate than those in the past. The penalty was formerly nothing more except possibly a scolding. Now when a man is nabbed and brought back he faces up to 10 years tacked onto his sentence under a 1955 legislative act. The circuit judges in these parts have been passing out one-year sentences where no violence resulted.

ONE THING the state needs to do is to give its camp guards enough manpower and equipment to hunt its own escaped prisoners down. This writer participated for a while in Wednesday's manhunt, which took several city police and deputies away from jobs on which they were busy. The camp had a couple of men out, plus a couple of trusties handling the bloodhounds. But communications were about as primitive as smoke signals. The dog man needs a walkie talkie and just this piece of equipment to communicate with sheriff's deputies might make the difference between catching a prisoner and letting one getaway.

One bloodhound party was on one trail and the other was in another direction. We lost one bloodhound outfit for quite a while and it was necessary to drive for quite some time to locals it. POLICE AND deputies were spotted around in various places and when tracks were located the only way to communicate was by blowing a siren on a prowl car. This tips an escapee to run still faster. What the officers do is pick up a dog and put him down tvo farthest point thfv can locate, thereby saving the time going over the early part of the trail.

Nobody can say the deputies and policemen don't put their all into catching an escapee and the prison camp folks work just as hard but the setup without proper equipment is as primitive as horse and buggy days. Maybe a new camp here would make the prisoners' temporary home more attractive to them, and it would save escapes at the camp. Some of the areas have had sanitary and efficient steel and i concrete camps for several i years. The one here is barred mostly by two-by-fours. IN CASE YOU'VE never seen a bloodnound work, they don't chomp on an escapee when they catch up with one.

The big-footed hounds look fierce but they are just as likely as not to Ikk the prisoner's hand. Anyhow, the dog is kept on leash which is some job when the hound is hot on the trail. Otherwise he would get so far ahead of the guards or deputies he would join the escapee and take it on the lam too. A bloodhound trails much as a bird dog does. When the scent is strong and the quarry far away he will bound along.

Wljen he gets close to his objective he will sniff the ground closely and slowly and sound like an outboard motor. Escapees have tried everything to fool a bloodhound, but they have a nose that can't be misled. An escapee in Polk County once soaked his socks in turpentine. But he was trailed down anyway and the only result was blistered feet. WE'LL HAVE to appoint R.

M. Middlehauff, Prudential agent, as one of our underground agents. He tells us J. J. Crume, real estate broker, is a second cousin of Abraham Lincojn, and that Joe H.

Davis, another a Sid Porter nephew of Jeff Davis, president of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Dr. Abraham L. Lincoln, an educator who came out of retirement at DeBary to teach at Stetson, is also a cousin of his namesake. We need another rebel to balance up.

Know of one? HERE'S ONE another friend, Mrs. George A. Ellis, realtor past president, called to our attention that a South Florida outfit with the name Monaco in the firm name bought several square miles of land near DeBary. Maybe the principality of Monaco with its half-mile square area needs some room for expansion and i is going to establish a Florida branch with more room to raise kids. Prince Rainier and Grace wanted a son and heir but the European stork i brought a girl.
