SENATORSPOTTSWOOD

APALACHICOLA —Franklin CountySheriff Herbert Marshall doesn't knowwhether the letter printed below is alegitimate report of a missing person, orjust a gag —but at least it is one of themost unusual letters he has ever re-ceived.

Just to play safe the Sheriff placed amissing persons notice in the weeklynewspaper here. However, this broughtno response and he has had no furtherletters from Fannie Mae Jackson, whogave her address as Raiford, Florida.

Here is the text of the hand writtenletter:DEAR MR. SHERIFF—SIR,

Me and my husband was fishing upin your county about two weeks ago.We went with the naybors (he's got acar) because we heard there was large-mouths thick as thieves up there. Wedidn't ride the spressway cause his tiresweren't too good.

We spent close on to six hours there.I got some, and my naybors, they gotsome too. We was so busy haulin thenin, that it wasn't until we got to shorewe seen Ed, he's my husband, wasn' twith us. It don't seem like you couldlose a whole man, specially when all

them fish, some not evin legal size andall near dead, made it all right.

We gave a pretty good look and wejust couldn't find Ed no place. Thenaybors was anxious to get started forhome. You know how it is, sir, withlittle ones at home and dark coming on.I left a note tacked to a tree in caseEd showed up, telling him we had donegone on home.

We passed your office (nice place)on the way out of town and I saidsomething about stopping, but the nay-bor said what the hell, you probablywas having your supper and would besore as the devil. But sheriff, sir, it' sbeen two weeks now and I'd feel betterif you'd take a look see if Ed is stillthere.

With most regards,Fannie Mae Jackson

CRESTVIEW —The black cyl-inder Deputy Sheriff George Vi-lardi is holding in this month'scover picture looks as harmless asa can of hairspray, yet it can stopa potential killer in his tracks,break up a wild street fight orsubdue a violently insane person.

Officially it is known as a"Chemical Mace" but we prefer tocall it "The Gentle Persuader" be-cause it can completely immobil-ize its victims without any harm-ful after effects —no cuts, nobruises, no broken bones and notrumped up charges of police bru-tality.

NEW WEAPONIt's a new weapon in the law

enforcement arsenal, but DeputyVilardi and his boss, OkaloosaCounty Sheriff Ray Wilson, arestrong believers in its effective-ness. Here's why:

Deputy Vilardi, accompaniedby Niceville Police Chief JamesHoward, was sent out to serve a"peace warrant" on a man whohad been threatening his family.

The man refused to open thedoor and when the two officersforced their way inside he ad-vanced toward them with a largebutcher knife.

In a situation like this an offi-cer normally has three choices-and none of them good. He can(1) try to disarm the man withhis bare hands; (2) try to subduehim with a billy club or black-jack; or (3) try to disable him byshooting him.

FOURTH CHOICEFortunately, Deputy Vilardi

had a fourth choice. He drew aChemical Mace from a holster onhis belt and squirted a thin liquidstream into the face of the knifewielder.

Almost instantly the man wasimmobilized and the officers wereable to handcuff him and takehim to jail without any difficulty.

Furthermore, the arrested manrecovered from the blinding spraywithin 15 or 20 minutes and suf-fered no after effects.

This was the first dramaticdemonstration of the ChemicalMace in Okaloosa County and theresults prompted the Sheriff todescribe it as "the greatest thingin law enforcement. . . just tre-mendous. "

20-FOOT RANGEThe Chemical Mace shoots a

unique blend of a special tear gascomponent. The Mark IV modellike the one held by Deputy Vi-lardi in the cover photo has arange of up to 20 feet under idealconditions and there is also asmaller pocket model.

Sheriff Wilson armed his menwith the Chemical Mace as an ex-periment, but now he is complete-ly sold on it. He explained that itis superior to one-shot tear gasgrenades or tear gas dispensersthat give off a hairspray typemist which can backfire on theofficer under adverse wind condi-tions.

The Chemical Mace shoots anaccurate stream that can beaimed at one or several assailantswithout hitting bystanders.

The moment the droplets oftear gas strike anywhere on theface a burning sensation com-mences and the victim sufferstemporary blindness and pain. Itis not necessary for the liquid tohit the eyes to be effective.

SIXTY BURSTSAnother feature of the Chemi-

cal Mace, manufactured by Gen-eral Ordnance Equipment Corp. ,201-203 S. Highland Ave. , Pitts-burgh, Pa., is that it will shoot asmany as 60 bursts without re-loading

Here are some reports on itseffectiveness:

PITTSBURGH, PA.—Two offi-cers were sent to stop a bar fight.

Pinch Them, butDon't Shave Them

EAGLE LAKE—There was this fel-low who wanted to buy cold soft drinksfrom the vending machine at a servicestation but he didn't want to pay forthem with dimes like everyone else.

So, what did he dop He shaved somepennies down to the thickness of dimes—pennies with "Honest Abe" Lincoln'sface on them yet —and he tried themin the machine and they worked.

It was a most enterprising scheme,but the service station owner took adim view of it. In fact, after he beganfinding emaciated pennies in the vend-ing machine instead of dimes he gotquite upset.

Straight to the Polk County SheriffsDepartment he went and was quicklyreassured that although a "penny savedis a penny earned, "a penny "shaved" issomething else.

That night, at dosing time, the coinbox was emptied and a "stake out" wasposted nearby.

In a little while a young man pur-chased some drinks and, after he hadwalked away, a look at the coin boxrevealed four "shaved" pennies.

This brought the case to a speedyending with the arrest of the youngman and the obvious moral: penniesare to be pinched, not "shaved. "

One short burst from the Mark IV and it was all over

One of the fighters, violentlydrunk, ignored a command to stopfighting and charged the officers.One officer hit the attacker at 6-7feet with a two-second burstfrom his Mark IV. The attackerimmediately stopped, covered hisface with his hands and stood be-wildered. He was handcuffed andled to the squad car without fur-ther resistance.DECEMBER& 1966

The Man Who Turns

The Jailhouse Key

Condensed from an article by Bruce Beard of the St.Petersburg Times. Pictures are by George Trabant, alsowith the Times,

CLEARWATER —What about jailers —the men andwomen who take over where the arresting officersleave off?

The image of jailers of the past is still en-trenched in many minds today as sadists, homo-sexuals, evil, sick men —who brutally abused jailinmates. But those days are gone and the PinellasCounty jail, operated by Sheriff Don Genung is agood place to discover how the job should be handled.

Earl Bordner, one of Sheriff Genung's jailers, isnot at all the old stereotype of the cruel sadist. Thepictures here show him as he goes about servingmeals, delivering mail, escorting prisoners to thedoctor and handling other duties.

The philosophy of modern jailers is "sympathizewith their troubles and treat them like people,rather than dirt. If you are their buddy it helpsthem see themselves differently. Besides, if you' retheir friend, they' re less likely to cause trouble. "

One of Sheriff Genung's jailers, a middle-aged

man who can talk for hours about the good a jailercan do for his prisoners, says, "Here it's strictly norough stuff, even if it may seem needed. Sometimes,a man comes back from court where he's just beengiven a long term, or even life, and he's in an uglymood. If he gets rough, all we can do is wrestle himback into his cell, nothing else."

If jailers have one gripe above another, it's theslowness of progress. For too long, they say, theywere seen as occupying only a custodial role. Nowpolice and the sheriff admit there's more to it thanthat, and that what the prisoner does after releasedepends to a large extent on who his jailers wereand what they were able to do.

Standards are high for the "custodial" staff andthe sheriff finds it hard to locate "the right kind"of men. The "right kind" must be decent, intelligent,have spotless records, and "be able to handle them-selves —they can't show any fear around theprisoners. "

WHAT TO DO IFYOUR CHILD IS MISSING

DECEssSER, 1966

Parents are frequently caused a greatdeal of anxiety by the discovery thattheir child is missing. Visions of thechild being hurt or kidnapped flashthrough their minds. Mother is usuallythe one to make the discovery that herlittle toddler is no longer in the backyard. Upon making this discovery, shemakes a hurried check of the neigh-borhood, calling for the child. If shefinds the child, all is welL

The case where the child is notfound in a few minutes is the one thatcauses parents, the police and the Ju-venile Officer real anxiety. Let it besaid, however, that there are very fewmissing children who are not found ina few hours. There are very, very fewwho come to any harm.

If parents would do the followingthings, missing toddlers and youngchildren could be located easier andsooner:

REMEMBER THAT ALL CHIIDREN WANDER at some time or an-other. Therefore, you should check onthem frequently.

IF YOU DO NOT LOCATE yourmissing child within a short time, notifyyour local law enforcement agency atonce. The sooner they are on the job,the easier it is for them to locate theyoungster. Time is important, as youngchildren sometimes wander great dis-tances from their homes in a shortperiod of time.

YOU, AS A PARENT, CAN AS-SIST A GREAT DEAL if you will en-list your neighbors and the older chil-dren of the vicinity in the search. Afterall, these people know the child and canspot him at a distance while the officersare working from a description.

KEEP SOMEONE IN THE HOME,preferably the mother. The child mayreturn, and if no one is there, he maywander away again.

WHEN CHECKING YOURNEIGHBORHOOD, check every houseand backyard. Don't skip around. Veryoften, children are located in homesnearby.

IF IT IS EVENING, and both par-ents are home, one of the parents,preferably the father, should join inthe search. Don't do as some peopledo—just sit down or go to bed and waitfor the officers to find the child.

BE SURE TO CHECK EACHROOM in your house. Check in andunder the beds. Look behind the fur-niture. Look under the house, in the

garage, chicken house, or other outbuildings. Young children often crawlin these places to hide and then go tosleep.

STOP AND THINK what the childhas expressed a desire about doing orseeing. This may prove a valuable clue.

IF YOU LOCATE THE CHILDand you have reported him missing,notify the police at once. Many timesin the past, officers have continued thesearch long after the child was foundby the parents.

IT IS IMPORTANT ALSO to re-member this: If a child comes to yourhouse, contact his parents or the police.He may be the missing child who isbeing searched for. Many times officershave had to work all night in searchof a child who was already asleep inbed with friends, because the people hewas staying with felt it unnecessary tocheck whether or not his parents knewwhere he was.

Audit ReportsWere Favorable

TALLAHASSEE —The State Audit-ing Department made favorable reportsto Gov. Haydon Burns after auditingthe accounts and records of Sheriffs inWakulla, Calhoun, Taylor and WaltonCounties.

CALHOUN COUNTY —Sheriff W.C. Reeder —All collections of recordwere properly remitted or were onh'and; resources of the office were ade-quate to cover all liabilities of record;budgets were properly prepared andadhered to.

TAYLOR COUNTY —Sheriff MauriceS. Linton-Budgets were properly pre-pared and followed; collections wereproperly accounted for; and internalcontrol over cash collections was ade-quate.

WALTON COUNTY —Sheriff How-ard (Andy) Anderson —Records weregenerally well kept; budgets were prop-erly prepared, approved and amended;expenditures were properly supported.

"There is only a fine line between being a hero and adead man, " said Air Force Col. S. H. Runyan, BaseCommander at Hurl'burt Field, when he presented anhonorary membership in the Fort Walton 'Beach Cham-ber of Commerce to Deputy Sheriff Joe Johnson. "If aman is willing to step over that line to protect others,that is as far as anybody can ever be expected to go, "he added. "I was awful lucky, " Deputy Johnsonreplied.

Deputy Disarms 2-Gun Fugitive

FORT WALTON BEACH—Deputy Joe Johnsonis a lawman that any sheriff would be proud to have

on his staff; but Okaloosa County Sheriff Ray Wil-

son is the one lucky enough to have him.Deputy Johnson was honored by the citizens and

the Board of Commissioners of Okaloosa County and

was awarded an honorary membership in the Great-er Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce for hisheroic arrest of two New Hampshire escapees who

were wanted by the FBI for kidnapping, armed rob-

bery and burglary.The two men, Alfred G. Martin, 23, of Andover,

New Hampshire; and Carl E. Whiting, 32, escapedfrom the Marrimak County House of Correction,Boscawen, New Hampshire in September.

Their wild, crime-filled flight from the law

finally took them through Pensacola and on to Pana-ma City where they broke into a store and stole two.38 cal. pistols.

They then flagged down an Airman from BixlerField and, after tying him up, took off with his car.The Airman managed to free himself of his bondsand alerted Bay County law officials who immediate-ly put out a description of the two men and the car.

Deputy Johnson, on a routine patrol, spotted a.car fitting the description parked at a service stationon Okaloosa Island. After questioning the two menuntil he was sure they were the wanted ones, hedrew his revolver and told them they were underarrest. Martin pulled a gun on Deputy Johnson, butthe Deputy managed to wrestle it from him. Thehusky, 6 ft. 2 in. , escapee reached for another gun inthe back of the car. Johnson then shot Martin in theleft leg and disarmed him.

Deputy Johnson deputized a bystander to helpguard the two until Deputy Howard Williams ar-rived.

This mechanical eavesdropper taperecords all incoming and outgoing tele-phone calls and radio transmissions sothat they can be stored for future ref-erence.

The object, Sheriff Joyce said, is notonly to keep an accurate record ofcommunications activity, but also tocheck on department efficiency.

Each recording will indicate thetime it was made and it will be pos-sible to determine how long it took adeputy sheriff to reach the scene of acrime after it was reported to the Sher-iff's Department.

The second cyclist got away andlater abandoned his cycle, after he waschased by a second deputy. The cycleturned out to be stolen.

Pretty routine so far. Then alongcame an attractive 24-year-old blondewoman in a truck camper accompaniedby two small girls and a white minia-ture French poodle dog.

Questioned by officers, she wasidentiaed as Mrs. Joyce Evelyn CookBunch, of Nashville, Tenn. , sister ofthe arrested cyclist.

She too was placed under arrestafter the camper was found to containapproximately $100,000 worth of prop-erty, cash, savings bonds and travelerschecks.

FBI agents were brought into thecase and the investigation fanned outover several states.

The brother and sister were event-ually charged with the theft of thecamper truck which the FBI said wasstolen from Morristown, Tenn. ; andwith the burglary of the MorgansffeldNational Bank branch in Waverly, Ky.

They were extradited to Kentucky toface the camper theft and bank bur-glary charges; and the poodle and twosmall children, daughters of Mrs.Bunch's sister, were turned over toMrs. Bunch's mother.
