(SGDHJRSCT Sarpy County is the danger zone in Eastern Nebrbaska the Fort Crook Bomber Plant, the Northern Natural Gas, Nebraska Power and Loup River Power substations, the industrial section of South Omaha and the bomb loading plant just across our west boundary line, all are in a direct line, all vital targets for bombings, sabotage, arson, strikes, often followed by robbery and looting and all calling for quick, energetic and efficient law enforcement and police protection. CHARLES E. COVINGTON Democratic Candidate for Sheriff of Sarpy County, offers a program which will insure to every community in Sarpy County the police protection to which it is entitled. The people are entitled to know who will handle the work of the Sheriff's office, which has always been a two man job. Paul Stark, businessman of Gretna, formerly a farmer outside Papillion, has con sented to make the campaign and will become Chief Deputy if Charles E. Covington is elected Sheriff. The Present Sheriff, who at the expiration of his present term, will be 67 years of age, and has had the office for 12 years, has long since filed but has failed to announce a program to meet changing con ditions. The state furnished the necessary policing in the east end during the building of the bomber plant but expects the county to do so now and the Sheriff has increased his budget to provide for the pay of a deputy in the east end. Why not eject a Sheriff from the east end and save that expense? Covington and Stark could alternate during the daytime in Papillion and spend the balance of the 24 hours in the east and west ends of the county. Arrangements could be made for a Snf.rial Denutv to stav at the court house niehts as now. Both the Sheriff and his Chief Deputy live in Papillion, often delaying them at the scene of a crime or accident in other parts o f the county. The east part of the county is zoned and the west will be and will be the most thickly populated districts. Hundreds and hundreds of new houses have already been built near the bomber plant. Gilmore and Highland Precincts (heretofore neglected) will have special deputies. Town marshals will be appointed special deputies, thereby hooking up the county and town police forces. Special deputies are paid only mileage and not salaries. The office will be run on the same budget as at present unless conditions change greatly. This program has been submitted to the Village Board of Gretna and the City of Bellevue and approved by both and will be submitted to the other villages. It is submitted to the voters of Sarpy County for their approval by f CfflABLES E. COVKBGTOB DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE CHARLES E. COVINGTON Age 56. 6 ft. 1 in. Weight 185 lbs. Home owner.
