Jim the Cop a Well-known Figure to K. U.Students for 21 Years
If you're in Lawrence for three minutes, four years, or a lifetime, one person you are sure to meet is Jim Messer. He stands at the intersection of 14th and Massachusetts, a whistle between clenched teeth, arms upraised, and twinkling eyes, behind a pair of glasses, darting from one side of the street to the other. "Hi, Jim," someone calls from a passing car and Jim puts his hand to his cap in a cheery greeting. A 7-year-old boy runs along the sidewalk. "Hi Jim," he trebles and Jim shouts back, "Hil!"
Just Call Him Jim
Jim—as he is known to all his friends, and that he says includes everyone—joined "the force" in Lawrence in 1924, after working as a farmer, a road supervisor, and deputy sheriff of Johnson County. During the first six months covering his beat in the river district, ne broke eight billy clubs' over the rebellious heads of street fighters.
"The public's a lot different now than it was then," Jim admits reluctantly.
Speeding Protocols
As the campus "cop" from 1930-1933, Jim kept the students down to the regulation 15 miles per with a shake of his finger and a broad smile.
Sneeding Professors
"But those speeding professors gave me trouble," he remembers.
There were no parking zones or stop signs on the Hill at that time and Jim assumes the credit for putting them there.
a steak fry with a group of Chi O's and Betas in an abandoned cornfield several miles out of town that turned into an unroarious night of "run sheep run" and "hide and seek," is one of Jim's favorite memories of campus life.
campus life.
Born and reared in Lawrence, Jim has vivid recollections of watching K.U. football games through a four foot high "peep hole" when the field was located where Lawrence Memorial high school now stands; ice skating on the Kaw river; and toboganing down the snow-covered mud of 14th street in the winter.
Born in Lawrence
Jim was born in Lawrence at 1339 Pennsylvania street, not far from the University's former football field which was on the corner where Liberty Memorial High school is situated.
"I saw the majority of the games played there and I could have shown you every knot hole in that old wood fence." Jim chuckles.
He lived for awhile on a 313-acre farm northwest of Olathe but later became supervisor and deputy sheriff of Johnson county. In 1924, he and his family returned to Lawrence and he joined the police force. He talks with pride of his five sons and one daughter; Ernest, 38, drill instructor at Ft. Riley; Carl, 36, assistant lieutenant of the fire department at Sunflower Ordnance works; Gerald, 32, Pleasant Grove; Alice, 30; Donald, 28, gunners mate in the Navy at Pearl Harbor; Harold, 17, who wants to enlist in the Marines before he is 18 years old in July.
Smile Is Free
Jim's philosophy of life is simple and sincere. He says "a smile doesn't cost anything and it may do a lot of good. I've taught my children that and they have found out that it is the truth. I speak to everybody and try to help them if I possibly can.

but not admit her to the Opera house. Miss Knox described Mr. Molotov as "pleasant and dignified, but not outstanding in appearance."
She said that the lower floor was packed with delegates of note, who were impossible to pick out. The session was described as very formal a speaker stepped to the platform, gave his speech, shook hands with the Commissar and left. Mr. Molotov spoke in Russian and had to be interrupted.
"Anthony Eden," she declared," is all that you have read of him. He was one of the most handsome men at the conference, and was distinguished from the rest by his carriage and appearance." Soong Americanized
Mr. T. Soong, whom she saw very close at hand, was completely Americanized with his dark rimmed glasses and business suit. He spoke English with fluency and seemed at ease and aware of his responsibility, vet nervous and always in a hurry
She stressed that "Mr. Molotov's departure does not at all mean that Russia has left the conference, for there are a number of important delegates still participating."
Miss Knox confirmed the report that that the Polish question is the most "talked about" matter, but that the attitude of the people the day she spent at the session were not as antagonistic.
Delegates Work Hard
"The delagates are working hard at their jobs, and realizing the importance of their positions, are using complete subtlety," she further added.
Miss Knox visited the biggest hotels, where most of the representatives for the World Organization conference are staying, the St. Francis Drake, the Palace, San Francisco's oldest hotel, the Fairmont,
