A young boy of 12 or 13 had a grand mal (Epileptic) seizure on a sidewalk in Vernonia. A crowd of 10 people gathered to see what was going on. This in itself is not unusual but what got to me is the fact that they all just stood around and stared at the poor kid like he was a freak in a circus. No one checked his pulse, no one made sure he wasn’t going to swallow his tongue, no one even thought to try and make him more comfortable. After all, epilepsy is not a contagious disease.

If your child Crowd gawks, offers no help as boy suffers seizure To the Editor: FISHHAWK ANNEXED TO FIRE DISTRICT it’s classified as a disease but people are so scared of getting involved. Even doing something wrong is better than doing nothing at all. At least that’s what they told us in cardio-pulmonary training. It’s not saying much for our world these days that anytime a kid falls down or acts strange the immediate assumption is that he’s on drugs. I just hope and pray that if this ever happens to one of my children that there is at least one, out of all the people standing around, that has compassion enough to at least lay a coat under his head and smile and ask how he is when it’s over. Thank you, Janice M. Everett THANK YOU, ONE AND ALL To the Editor: I want to thank all of these people: Sherrie Cooper in St. Helens, who works for HUD, for helping us get our house fixed and helping me, through the Legal Aid lawyer, to get my bills straightened out so I could pay Fred Mangat’s doctor bills. , I’m doing OK and I’m very happy with the way I arranged to pay these bills—I’ll get there soon. I would also like to thank Ken and Madge Sutherlin for letting me pay what I could afford on our medicine bills. Ken is a wonderful druggist. Our thanks to Norma at the Senior Center for helping me also. She’s a wonderful person and we should all be thankful we have her. I want to thank Jessie Andrews for being so good to me. She’s helped me a lot and I’d do anything for her. So, thank you all.
