Inspector Dick's Safety Circus


Ex-Vaudevillian Inspector Dick Mansfield of the Washington, D.C. police force, ran a program in the city where he visited elementary schools and spoke to 5th and 6th graders who were patrol boys. Don Kurtz, a familiar name to Yesterday’s Papers readers for his cartoonist collection, was one of those patrol boys and had his portrait drawn and signed by Inspector Dick circa 1945-46. The newspaper account is from 1955 during a tour of Hagerstown, Maryland.
