Fourth graders- such as this class of Mrs. Lucile Kennahs in Kaysville Elementary School have accumulated a remarkable knowledge of French, its meaning and how it is spoken and written, since beginning the class last fall.

There is another group doing a wonderful job to fight crime and criminals, however, and that is the national televi- sion networks themselves, who are giving us information on the underworld through such shows as Untouchables, Armstrong Theatre, Desilu Playhouse, and others. When laws fail, publicity is the only , answer. Newspapers have always reported the comings and goings of the criminal, but the dramatics of television can do best in showing the apathy, misunderstanding and dishonesty that permits the Mafia, Murder, Inc., and the Syndicate from spreading its filth across the nation.
