THE TIRED POLICEMAN

Our grassroots compatriot Bruce Heydvnburk. publisher of the NEWKIRK (Oklahoma) HERALD JOURNAL noticed m item in the “Peace Officer" magazine and said to his readers; "We think it worthy of lepi mting." Ditto! So, here 'tis; slightly trimmed foi space: I \m A Tired Potreman 1 Am Tired of so-called law abiding citizens telling me to go catch criminals when they (hive violated traffic regulations. 1 Am Tired of persons arrested for felonies tellhng me that I am going to be trouble for an esting them - when they have been caught in the act. I Am Tired of juveniles who huve nothing better to do than steal gas, vandalize schools, churches, libraries, homes and gardens. I Am Tired of sociologists, anthropologists, and other self apppointod experts who knw nothing of police work or have never ridden in a police car, telling me how to do my job.

I Am Tired of hand-wringing - I. Hing us that cri minals who steal, rob. mug, and shoot citizens are not bad, just nusunderstoou 1 Am Tiled of hearing ‘ the younger generation aie only doing their thing." “If it feels good, do it." “If it feels so good, why is it bad?" I Am Tired of the police being the undeidog and the criminal released to go out and prey on law abiding citizens. I Am Tired of the police being handcuffed and blamed for every social ill that comes along. What would happen if the honest citizens and the police took the hippie code to heart ("I am only doing my thing - if it feels good do? . .) Picture a punk who has just assaulted an elderly woman and injured her enough to put her in the hospital — and he is caught immediately by either a cittizen or police officer. What would happen if the suspect was hit where it did the most good (if it feels good, do it?) Then listen to the do-gooders!

It is needed as evidence in a food poisoning case." —MS G — Disaster is a human tragedy on a mass scale — on such a scale, in fact, that it is often hard to comprehend. A case in point is the misery caused by Hurricane Celia recently in Texas. The AmerAan Red Cross reports that, in addition to the deaths and injuries in the disaster, more than 6L600 homes were destroyed or damaged. But an added figure, perhaps one, more easy to comprehend, is the fact that this one horrible storm brought losses to more than 65.000 families. Right now, amid the wreckage and debris along the Gulf coast of Texas, plans are underway to build new. As always the Red Cross is there, giving hope and helping to rebuild the thousands of lives that have been shattered in just a few hours. Its financial assistance to the victims is an outright gift. Repayment is neither asked for nor implied. The task before the Red Cross is a great one. American Red Cross volunteers and staff will be on the scene for months, helping Celias victims reconstruct and repair their homes, replace lost household furnishings and occupational equipment, and to assist with the medical bills from disster-caused injuries and illness. Because of the magnitude of the recovery operation. Red Cross National Chairman E. Roland Harriman has appealed to the American people for generous contributions to help meet costs running many millions of dollars. We wholeheartedly endorse this effort. The Red Cross is the only organization in this country that can provide this help freely to those in need. Its sole financial support is that from the American people. In the weeks ahead, the families that suffered in Celia will be counting on the Red Cross to restore their way of life. And we are sure, the Red Cross can count upon us for the means to do the job. Your contribution can be sent or taken to any chapter of the । American Red Cross —MS G — NOTICE I will not be responsible for any debts contracted bv anvone other than myself.
