Letter to the Editor
To the Editor of
The SMYRNA Times,

To the Editor of
The Smyrna Times,
Will you please print this let
ter in the hope that the guilty
parties will read it and mend
their ways before playing an
other cruel joke (if it can be
called a joke) on someone else.
Sometime during the night of
Monday, Oct. 26th, someone
trespassed on my property and
let the air out of an auto tire
on my car that was parked in
my private driveway.
This has happened before,
once last year and once two
years ago about this time of
year. Last year the air was let
out of two tires on the car
which meant an expensive re-
pair job. Here's hoping it will
not occur again.

accomplished more than we had
anticipated. Our next move
along these lines will be to
teach riot control, which can be
used for civil disturbances. "
