reality that there is life beyond what we
know.” I cringed and turned my head as
the dirt made a loud thump on her casket.
“God as always will not let us focus on
what we don’t know, but affirm what we
do know, that God is the power and glory
forever."”
All the people and all the cars were
gone as | walked slowly to mine. The sun
is setting behind a mountain. I heard a
noise and saw the three brindle cats come
walking out of the woods with their tails
sticking up in the air. They went toward
the fresh red clay and I shivered as the
mountain air got cooler. An old woman, a
new grave. The books are closed on
another day in the mountains.

Police Defended
Dear Editor:
After readini the story in The Summerville
News about the Trion Police department
receiving bad publicity about not doing their
{)obs. or sittini under trees, and parked at the
ank too much was very disturbing. :
Having lived in the Town of Trion all my
life, I just don’t see how some citizens were
saying the Mayor, Chief David Starkey, and
the rest of our fine police force were slacking
up, or not doing their job.
I don't live inside t{\e city limits, but right
outside, so I'm still listed in Trion. I visit my
father and mother quite often inside the City
Limits, and very, very few times I won't see
the police car patroling, or helping the school
kids and traffic at Riegel be safe.
I worked some nine weeks on the weekend
in the shop at Riegel answering the police or
fire phone while I was disable to work full time
at my regular job, and while receiving some

Time For Change
Mr. Editor:
In response to the letter Mr. Akren wrote
June 17 about Mr. Johnny Crawford, I feel
like seniority is good if you are able to use it to
your advantage, however in the three terms
that Mr. Crawford has been our represen
tative, our County has not progressed as it
should. I feel like that we need someone that
will speak out for our county. This is not being
Gordon Supported
Dear Editor:
I read the letter by Mr. Akren last week en
doersing Johnny Crawford for State Represen
tative. :
I would like to endorse Gary Gordon for
State Representative. I feel like Gary will be
an excel?ent Representative. We need so
meone who will speak out on issues and will
stand up and fight for our county.

calls for the police, whether it be a fight, acci
dent, drunk, sgfieders or someone tryinf to
break in something and once a very old lady
wanting her TV set moved, the Trion Police
were very, very fast in responding to the calls.
I fully agree with the mafior, when St}f'ing
stepping up the patroling will not stop all the
crime and stealing.
The citizens can do more in helping crime
by helping the police department, instead of
being critical of them.
Mr. Miller mentioned a half-mill or mill tax
hike for more protection. Why do this? An out
side light around the garage, back yard or
porch would really help. The police patroling
cannot or any other person see someone in the
dark hiding, fixing to steal or break in
something.
Sincerely,

ty has a lot less jobs now than it did when Mr.
Crawford took office. We have no new roads
since Mr. Crawford took office. I believe that
it's time for a change.

With more control being given back to the

meone who will work hard for us.
Gary is a take char%;e person and I believe
Gary can handle the job.
If we don'’t elect someone who can stand up
for the sth District, our county will continue
to be pushed aside. So let’s get out and vote
for Gary Gordon Aug. 10.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO
A GRIEVING WIDOW?
Because it is so difficult
to know how the bereaved
really feels, we advise that
you NOT say, “l| know how
you must feel.” It is not
necessary to force a conver
sation, nor to extoll the vir
tues of the deceased to the
grieving family.
Silent expressions of
emotion and compassion
(like a firm gripping of the
hand) and a simple “I'm
sorry,” are frequently more
eloguent than talkative at
tempts at eulogies.
Listening and just ‘‘be
ing there” show that you
care. Your presence is in
dication of your desire to be
sympathetic and comfor
ting. Above all, don’t try to
jolt a grieving widow out of
her grief. Time will do it for
her gradually. She must
first accept the loss, then
begin to live with it and pass
through several emotional
stages before the natural
healing effects of time take
hold.
We welcome your ques
tions and comments on this
and other subjects.
