JL I960 1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORB. I ' ' n MONDAY, JUNE 13 3 w vj r - . .... . - - . . m. Out on a limb By BOB WALTERS There won't be an "Out on a Limb" today. Instead, this pace will pay tribute to those faithful public servants, those unsung knights in shining armor, the parking meter ticket writers. Little has been said in print about these devoted men-in-blue and I think it's time to give them the attention they so Justly deserve. Fight back those tears of appreciation, citizens, and join me in honoring these valiant warriors. THE METER GAME This is the city. The sun is shining. The people are happy. They are happy because they have parked their cars and they are going shopping. My name's Grunch. Sam Crunch. I'm a cop. Yes, the people are happy. Far too happy. My job: Do something about it. I walk down the street, big six-gun bouncing on my hip. Kids stare at the gun. They respect me. They respect me because they don't know I've never fired the thing in my life. Then I see a car, a parked car. Next to it is a parking meter. A beautiful green parking meter that symbolizes my very existence. Inside the meter is a little red flag. It says "Violation." Frantically, I take out my ticket book. My hand sweats so that I can hardly hold my pencil. This is my moment of truth, the instant for which I live and breathe. I jay-run across the street. Cars slam on their brakes. Drivers see my uniform and they know I am a policeman. They know I am protecting their welfare and they do not want to delay me in the performance of my duties. Besides that, they do not want to hit me. They know it is not wise to hit a police officer. And I am a police officer. But I believe I said that. Knees trembling, foam dripping from the corners of my mouth, I begin writing the ticket. The sound of the pencil on the little yellow envelope is music to my ears. Suddenly I am interrupted. A little old lady taps me on the belt. She taps me there because she cannot reach my shoulder. "Officer," she says, "I hate to bother you, but the bank is being robbed. A million dollars has been stolen, the bank president has been killed and other various and sundry bodies fill the lobby. I thought you would like to know." "Little old lady," says I, giving her my policeman-talking-to-a-little-old-lady look, "I am busy. If I leave now, this car may leave before I return. Then the city will not get 50 cents and I will be unhappy." "I understand, Officer," she says. And she goes away. I finish writing the ticket. I place it under the windshield wiper, which is more difficult than usual since this car has no windshield. I feel good inside. I do a brief soft-shoe routine. Then I go back to pacing the streets, thinking about the little old lady. She was a very wise little old lady because she under stood what many people these days cannot comprehend. This is the age of the specialist. By BETTE HOSKINS Mail Tribun Corraipondtnt Jacksonville - Officials of the .
