My husband and I moved down here in August to look after my father, J. C. Abbott, and have never before needed a policeman in any capacity. First, on December 21, my son had an accident. I do not even know the young policeman's name, but he was the most courteous, helpful and kind man, and I would like to thank him again and again for the courtesies extended to us. Then on February 10, my father had a stroke caused from an arteriosclerotic heart. Your police department was called and within breathless minutes your emergency car was down there, and I actually give the two young men credit for helping save my father's life. I do thoroughly appreciate their quickness of action, and kindness. Too, I know their names. They were Mr. Yohn and Mr.3w� Please convey to the above three men our deepest gratitude, and know that all the people in this lovely city should be equally grateful and proud. S/ Mrs. W. M. Sexton Motion by Councilman Nix seconded by Councilman Box that meeting adjourn in unadjourned session to meet on Tuesday, march 109 1970 at the City Hall at 5:00 P.m., motion carried.
