A loyal servant to the people of Cherokee County is being
buried today. He died as he lived, serving the county and people
he loved.
The life?and death?of Frank Charles Crawford, 45-year-old
sheriff of Cherokee County, can be summed up in four words?he
was a peace officer. i *
As an officer uphqiding the peace and dignity of this county,
he was a-dedicated man. No man can serve as an officer of the law
unless he feels it is his duty to stand between the lawful and the
lawless.
Frank was drawn to that vocation and ht served it well. He
made it his life's work to secure the peace by serving, as a patrol
man for the town of Murphy, as Murphy's police chief and later
as a patrolman-guard for TVA at Hiwassee Dam.
He then was nominated and elected sheriff and four years
later did what few men have been able to accomplish in this coun
ty. He succeeded himself as sheriff for another four-year term.
V There is nothing to be said to ease the pain of Frank's relatives
a^d friends. But. perhaps in years to come, they can draw some
salall amount of relief from remembering the fact that Frank died
alhe lived?on duty as a peace officer,
v Frank was a friendly man who was easy to talk to and easy
to' listen to.
?* We of Cherokee County have lost a real friend and a willing
savant.

? T "foolish virgin*" all about?
Dr. Wehrii at Eden Seminary
makes a simple straightforward
suggestion. The story has to do
with emergency, the unexpected
and bow to meet it If everything
had gone according to plan, the
foolish vtrgtns would not have been
in trouble. They had all the oil
they thought they would need.
When they .set out, it was the
wise virgins who looked foolish.
Why cany those extra flasks of
oil? Wasn't it enough to carry a
lamp without being bothered with
ad besides? But when the hours
wore on and on, those extra flasks
did not look so foolish. The wise
virgin^' were ready for the unex
pected; the foolish were not.
? ? ?
Life's Emergencies
If the future were a* plain to
us as the past, then (we think)
life might be eas
ier. But that ia
not the way lite
goes. There ia
much we can
count on; other
wise there would
never be any use
in making any
kind of plana.
But there alio
win oe mings
?head we don't ?r
count on. Disease or death may
enter the home unannounced.
Temptation may lilt ita ugly head
among the flowers of our happi
ness. The person who goes through
life prepared only for what he
expects, will find himself in the
dark. Only by being prepared for
what we don't expect, can we
rise to life's emergencies.
But how can we prepare for
what we don't expect? Of course
we can't prepare in detail for the
unforeseen. What we can manage
to have is a reservoir of strength;
for physical emergencies reserves
of health; for moral emergencies,
reserves of character; for spiritual
err.eraencies. reserves of faith.
The Unexpected Is The Test
When there is a big Are, or some
extraordinary disaster like a
bombing or an explosion, the po
lice of a great city will send re
serves to the stricken area to
guard against looters. Now as Dr.
Wehrli says, the police aren't spe
cially worried about ordinary
criminals.
But the people who do the loot
ing at fires are the ordinary peo
ple, who in ordinary situations
wouldn't think of stealing. They
are honest enough for all routine
situations. They would not think
of breaking a door down in order
to steal. But when a fire or an
earthquake opens the door, and
the lights go out, then these "hon
est" people turn into thieves. They
don't have the reserves of char
acter <to carry them through the
moral emergency.
Sometimes again the emergency
will be an opportunity. When an
important position falls vacant,
who is chosen to fill it? The man
who is ready for it. But who is
ready; for the bigger job? The man
who worked harder than he need
ed to on the smaller job; the man
'who learned more than he had to
know to hold down the smaller
job. If a m<n isn't ready for a
bigger job than he has, he isn't
likely ever to get his chance at
it when the bigger one is open.
On The Alert
Three piece* of advice can be
given to those who wiah to live
on the alert One la: Keep phys
ically fit That may sound too oh
vious, but It la not aa any doc
tor could tell you. If your health
break* down you are stopped In
your tracks no matter what your
work may be. Whether you aim to
be % missionary, a farmer or a
governor, you are going to need
all the health you can have. Don't
cut down your body's efficiency by
the use of liquor, drugs, overeat
ing, ondereleeping or what not
The same can be said of the
second point: Keep mentally fit
Keep your mind a bit sharper than
It needs to be right now. sharp
enough for the unlooked-for oppor
tunity or problem or responsi
bility.
Again it is needless to say that
the use of alqebol is one of the
commonest enemies ai mental At
And Anally: keep spiritually At
The Holy Spirit is no substitute
for your -own hard and careful
thinking: but the closer you lhre
to Sis God who la Lord of both
today and tomorrow, the more
ready you are going to be for
whatever he may send.
