Shoplifting. A billion dollar owners to raise their prices just to break even of profits lost each year to people who
To inform Lawrence retail merchants about problems of shoplifting the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the Small Business Administration presented a free clinic on retail theft control Tuesday in the Kansas Power and Lighting
Bunn said the problem of oppression began when man land found something to possess. The primary difference, Bunn said, was that his father had never found something to possess.

"LAST YEAR," Bunn said, "took a considerable amount to acherise worth $3 billion and you count the pilfering by employees, then €6 billion of worth each year has not decreased, every year we have a 25 cent increase in
*Shoptillers are usually a well organized and a transient sort of machine used to perform a pattern of operation. When the heat is on in one city, they move through it.
Bunn said shoplifters struck when the sales clerks were least alert in the morning, when clerks are busy stocking items, or late in the afternoon, just before closing time when everyone is wanting to leave.
"It's times such as these, when all the electronic devices that you own just person has to maintain a constant vigilance," Bunn said. "Let the suspect know you are watching and are available for assistance."

"To the customer, this will reflect courtesy but to the shoplifter it will say, I know you are here." Lauderdale said.
There are hundreds of ways to shoplift. Bunn said, but 90 percent of them are body conealment methods. Bunn said one of the more common ones with which people can be articled between the legs, using the pressure of the thighs to keep the article from slipping.
Some women, he added, are able to carry 25 pounds of merchandise this way.
To effectively combat the problem of shoplifting, sales personnel must also know the
merchandise in the store, Bunn said. He cited one case in Kansas City where two men walked out with a 17 foot canoe, and no one challenged the men. The only way they were caught, Bunn said, was by stealing the green water and returned to steal the paddles they had forgotten.
THE WORST shoplifter is the juvenile. Fifty per cent of all shoplifting offences are committed by persons under 18.

Only one in 10 shoplifters is caught and the treatment is given, and the treatment of the shoplifer once caught is as important as catching the offender when he is caught.

"IF YOU SEE someone shoplifting you never let the person out of your sight or don't threaten. Just invite the offender back into the office and detain him until the police arrive. A policeman is the only official who can deal with a shoplifter, the shoiller, Launderberry said.
Landerberry said that if the correct prudence were not outlawed, the court would case be thrown out of court, and the shopfifter would be freed.

ROBERT C. CASAD
DEMOCRATICCANDIDATE
For Judge of the District Court
- Nineteen years in Lawrence
- Native Kansan
The choice of the judge for the new division of the District Court deserves your careful consideration.
One important power of the District Court is the power to compel other public officials to do their duty or to prevent them from acting beyond their authority. In view of this, it is required that the District Judge is the highest public official in the district.
There are 29 judicial districts in Kansas. Some districts contain several counties, but Douglas County itself is one district, the Seventh. Until this year only one judge was authorized for the Seventh District. Beginning January 1, 1793 will be two. Of 65 district judges in Kansas, Douglas County will have two.
The District Judge is the ultimate interpreter of the law in which he presides. The District Judge Douglas County is what the District Judge says it is. His ruling can be overturned by the Supreme Court of Kansas not only because the district court does not many cases are appealed to those higher courts.
