By ALVIN DANN
Although Ann Arbor is a commun-
ity unusually free of the serious
crime that afflicts other American
cities (there hasn't been a murder
in five years, the local police force
is kept on their toes prepared for
any emergency that may arise.
Seldom does an officer have an
occasion to fire a pistol at anyone
in the line of duty since the gunplay
on Ann Arbor streets extremely
infrequent. Yet, members of the
police force are required to practice
pistol shooting throughout the year
and if they do not pass a qualifying
test given once a year, they are sus-
pended from the force until they can
meet the requirements.
Because it ~is the duty of law en-
forcement officers to be able to meet
any situation that may occur, Chief
Norman E. Cook explained that the
ability to shoot well is necessary not
only for better police work, but also
for public safety considerations. "A
poor marksman firing on a crowded
street is very dangerous," he re-
marked.
Officers practice at least once a
month. During the winter season
they shoot indoors in an attic range
on Liberty street. Although they
have been using this indoor range
for about three years, this summer
they used their own outdoor range
for the first time. This well-equipped
fifty-yard range was constructed with
the aid of local merchants.
The average score of the entire
force is well above the average of any
department in the state, Chief Cook

-.-!
asserted. Last October the three man
team of Camp, Richter, Enkemann
captured the Governor's trophy for
wining the Class C state competition.
Cook declared, however, that the,
objective of frequent target practice
is not to develop any outstanding
pistol shooter, but rather the em-
phasis is placed on getting every
member of the force to shoot well.
Sgt. Casper Enkemann pointed out
that there are few departments that
require the average officer to shoot
as often as once a month.
The best marksmen on the force at
the present time are Stauch, Earl,
Schmid, Schlupe, and Enkemann.
Sgt. Clark Earl is the chief range
officer whose task it is to supervise
practice.

nine children there had never been
many luxuries, but there had been
enough necessities to go around.
After Mr. M died, Mrs. M was
helped to establish herself in a room-
ing house, taking in boarders. She
managed pretty well when the two
older boys were working but if they1
were laid off or ill, the whole fam-
ily had to scrimp. Each child in the

family had his own project for help-
ing with the income: even Alice,
five years old, tried to help by selling
lemonade to neighbors.
The older boys had been forced to
quit school to get jobs so that the
younger ones might finish their ed-
ucations. Last month the two older
boys were called up for government
service,
The Bureau is interested in keeping

L

up the morale of this little group,
preserving the unusually strong fam-
ily spirit, helping the younger child-
ren to prepare for a happy adult
life.
With the help of the Goodfellow
Fund, the Bureau has been able to
give aid to families like the M's
who are not eligible for public re-
lief but whose marginal incomes can
create so many other problems.
