FRED Wrinkle BEGINNING
SSRD YEAR AS CONSTABLE
Oldest In City In Point OF Service
and Has Legion OF
Friends.

twenty-five years of service in a
public office il long time, especial
ly when the office is filled with I'M
pleasant events in the course of per-
forming the duties prescribed, but
there are those who despite these
handicaps discharge their tasks with
a sense Of loyalty and feeling OF
performing the duty for the good OF
the community. In this category be-
longs Fred Wrinkle, who is beginning
mis- ed consecutive year as constable.
the oldest man in point of consecu-
tive service in that capacity.
Everybody who has lived any
length of time in this city knows the
genial and good nalured constable,
and few who have come in contact
with him have anything but words
of praise for him and high praise
for the veteran officer.
The years of contact with different
types OF human beings have made
him understand human nature and
many a time in the course of dis
charging an unpleasant duty. his
charitable and understanding nature
was disclosed. He often listened to
the pleadings of those whose pro-
perty he was called to attach.
Through his genial nature he has
made many friends, thing rare in
the life OF a person holding such an
office, and many come to him for
advice. His nomination and election
have never been contested.
