Jerry Knappenberger, the retired Allentown policeman, for example, is not formally known as Gerald. by, or more often than not, just Leiby.

You have to think about it a little till it comes to you that Leiby is Richard C. Laudenslager, an eight-year veteran of the local blues. Which brings us to the two-gallon jar. Sometimes the jar just sits atop the counter, open-mouthed, waiting for the long green and silver to be dropped in for a children's picnic or one outing or another for policemen and their families. 1 The jar in its time has also taken the sting out of mayors' wrist slapping payless suspensions of one officer or another for reasons wise or otherwise.

At those times, the note pasted on the jar reads simply, say, "For Joe Doakes 5 days." Nobody has to be told what happened to Joe Doakes. He has retired in 1948. Nobody at least nobody on the force today knows, or remembers how Claude H. ever came by the name of Jerry. But almost nobody knows who you are talking about when you mention Claude.

And there have been two Ray Laudys on the Allentown Police Department, but you will find neither of them listed on either the pension rolls or the active duty roster. That is because Raymond A. Laudenslager retired some years ago (he is on the pension list), and his son, Raymond A. is still on active duty on the force, compiling a faithful record like his father before him. And the two gallon glass jar that is put up on the metal sheathed booking counter at Allentown police headquarters has held more police Any time there is any project of sufficient gravity or moment, the jar comes out from somewhere beneath the counter and is put on top.

You could probably rightly call So what's in a. name? Legal and proper tender, for one thing. Jerry Knappenberger wouldn't collect a dime of the police pen-, sion he earned in 24 years on the force.

He by no means has a corner on the thing at which the latest jar project is aimed. There are surely more than a few colleagues among the gendarmerie who could benefit equally from the project. But, maybe because he has broad shoulders and smiles easily, Leiby is the latest jar star.

A police officer is responsible for the peace and order of the city. To do his job he needs a certain quota of peace and order tools and machinery. For example: A wide leather cartridge belt, a couple of pounds of .38 caliber bullets mounted on that belt, a heavy black leather holster, a .38 caliber service revolver to go into the holster, a pair of handcuffs and-or come alongs (which is a short bit of linkage that looks like a cross link on your skid chains and is twisted around a renegade's wrist to convince him he should heel with as little fuss as possible), a night stick, a regulation black leather-sheathed sap and keys enough THIS VVOOLEN A '7Ys PEPPERMINT SKI CAP IS NICE "JWtfs STICK J--X T-ii Mi'i Joe Palooka jfffc' jj this will give 7 1 before you st'tfW: Jiii YOU QUICK I CAN TAKE KNOCK ME OUT, IVE) MAEK JUST TAKE Xg A RELIEF THE PAIN A GOT TO TELL YOU J' 'It MARKKA IT EASY, .) 2 tyk UTTLE SOMETHING LH Abner WHICH SONG WOULD SINCE AH HAS MAH VkJft I fAH PICKS A AWR1GHT, BUT THAR'S ONE. ff NO'DRUTHER DRUTHERS, AH' TRAILO'TH' jtXl NOTE IN THAR THAT'S A Mickey Finn ij- HUH, IF vo -i walked oyer to riyerdale "on the way back i saw a man changn' nWf'XWKW, LET HIM ALONE I THAT NIGHT AND I WALKED BACK!
