YOU KNOW ME

There are some very nice persons
in this section of the country. One
does'nt always have to get in a
jam to know that, but when one
i does, it seems to bring out the
4 best’ in everyone.
HN Last Friday night Squire Davis
} and I went down to the West Side
Armory to see the boxing matches.
4 : My wife ‘and our daughter contin-
1 ued on ‘to Wilkes-Barre to hear
Donald Dame at Irem Temple. It
was arranged that my wife would
stop and get me and my friend
when the fights were over and
we: would' continue home to the
lake. "When my wife passed the
armory, the fights weren't over, so
she took our daughter home and
‘came back for us. When she re-
i turned the crowd was just emerg-
| : ing from the drill shed and the
i Kingston ‘police were impatiently
whistling’ for us to get in the car
and on our way. If I had only done
what 1 ‘always have done in the
past—got in the driver's seat and
taken the wheel! Of course, I might
have hit the man later as my wife
did, but who knows? Possibly the
few seconds ‘delay taken to change
drivers ‘would have prevented our
car having that date with fate.
Maybe we and the man would not
have been on the crossing at the
same time. Maybe! Maybe! Maybe!
But no, looking back at everything
that happened, it just seemed as
if the police were anxious to get us
off so’ we couldn’t fail to be at
the crossing at the right time. Offi-

we know it’s not true, but it seems
fate was grimly telling us to “get
on’: 2
As we were crossing the railroad
that divides Kingston and Luzerne,
the man loomed up from nowhere
at our right. None of us saw him
until we felt the bump. We weren't
going fast. Of course everyone
claims’ that after the accident, but
we really weren't. The crossing
was wet and rough with frozen
snow. There was a big snowpile
to our right. My wife slowed down
for the crossing as there was
a car ahead of us which she saw
rocking up and down over the un-
od { ‘even pave. We felt the bump and
] saw the man’s arm in the air and
. that is all. My wife stopped. I jump-
ed out and ran back, shouting to my
* wife to pull up past the snow pile
and get to the curb. I just got back
in time to wave the next car a-
gl round the man’s head and I stood
f ‘ there waving and waving until the
minutes after reaching the hospital,
but before he expired, a priest gave
him the last rites. The good father
came from nowhere. He was so
kind, praying for my wife and me.
I never even asked his name. The
police were the grandest and nic-

cers were so nice to us later that
| ambulance came. The man died ten |
est men ‘we ever met. The only
other experience I ever had with
police was when they were gruffly
telling me to get my car out of
some place in a hurry. There was
no hurry now. What was time
now? We had all the time in the
world, but couldn’t use any of it to
help the man lying there.
The police took me back to the
scene of the accident where I got
in the car and took my wife and
friend to the Luzerne Police Sta-
tion. One policeman stayed with
us there while the second officer
went out and got a Squire out of
bed so we could give bail and go
home. It took the Squire an, hour
to get there and while we were
waiting our guard consoled my
wife and me. Never again will I
think a cop officious.
That’s all there is to tell.
know no more.
I am writing this because so
many of our friends have called or
written, offering sympathy. We ap-
preciate and thank them. We wish
we could tell them how it happened.
Maybe later when we have time to
think more we will know more
about it, but right now our thoughts
and sympathy are with the man
that died while the priest and I
were praying.
