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.*
