BY ERNIE SEGARS In these days of street crime, demonstrations and all edged po lice brutality, it’s refreshing to hear of citizens and police of a strange town helping a total stranger. However, that is ex actly what happened in the case of the C. J. Rowes and the peo ple of Clinton. The Rowes of Johnson City, Tennessee, were traveling through Clinton in May on their way back to Tennessee after visiting relatives in Georgia. The Rowes stopped at a small store in Clinton, and while there, their granddaughter, Carol Anne Price, left her purse at the store. By the time Miss Price missed it, they were too far from Clinton to return and re- trive it, for in Johnson City, Mr. Rowe called the Clinton Police Department, and Paul Quinton went to the grocery and found the purse. The owner had discovered it soon after the Rowes had left the store and was keeping it in case they returned. The police kept the purse in the station for about two months, and a friend of the Rowes hap pened to be passing through Clinton, identified the purse and returned it to the Rowes. This might have been the end of the entire matter. The police had done their job, the job they are paid to do. However, the Rowes wanted to express their appre ciation in a more tangible way. They were going through Clin ton on a return trip south on Monday of this week, and they brought with them a large cake for the Clinton Police Depart ment. The cake, a large square shaped confection with pale blue icing, had “Thank you, Clinton Police Department’ written in large letters and was signed by “The Rowes.’ There was also a minature police car on the cake. Mr. Rowe, in a statement to the Chronicle, said, “The tax-payers of Clinton are pay ing friendly, courteous police.’ Mr. Rowe also told of his reaction to the rest of the peo ple in Clinton, he commented “wherever we were greeted with welcoming smiles and offers of assistance.* fflOAmm Okecibve NOW PLAYING — AUGUST 19-25 SPARTAN James B.
