Any discussion of Civil Rights is best prefaced
with a general histOry of the significant events con
tributing to present legislation and the judicial phi
losophy affecting the relationship of the government
and the governed. In attempting to limit the scope
to those areas most directly concerning law enforce
ment, such historical references are necessarily few
and brief. The importance of Civil Rights to Ameri
can citizens is paramount because it involves basic
liberties. It is especially important to law enforce
ment because it raises the spectre of "police brutality"
and abuse of official authority.
Historically, the greatest threat to civil liberty has
come from the government and, historically, the chief
means of meeting this threat has been to define, in
documented form, the rights of the people which the
government cannot invade. From the Magna Carta
of 1215 to the Federal Bill of Rights of 1791, the
major controversy has resulted from the interpreta-

tion of fundamental principles and their application
to contemporary society. The Federal Bill of Rights,
made up of the first ten Amendments to the Consti
tution, covers most aspects of tife, from education to
labor and p'ublic accommodations. Significantly,
these first ten Amendments protect the people against
encroachment on the part of the Federal govern
ment and do not concern the actions of State govern
ments. Not until after the Civil War was a new
basis laid for the enforcement of Civil Rights and
their protection against invasion by State govern
ments. The result was the three famous Amendments
to the Constitution known as the Civil Rights Amend
ments, the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth.
The Thirteenth Aoendment (1865) abolished
slavery. The Fourteenth Amendment (1868), the
most important of the three, provides, in part, that
no State can deprive a person of life, liberty and
property without due process of law, and that no

State can deny a person equal protection of the law.
Over the years, several specific rights enshrined in
the first ten Amendments as protection against the
Federal government have been incorporated, by judi
cial decision, into the vague "due process" clause of
the Fourteenth Amendment as protection against
State government. The Fifteenth Amendment (1870)
provides that the right to vote shall not be denied
because of race, color or previous condition of servi
tude.
When the States ratified these three Amendments,
Congress was given the power to enforce their pro
visions. Two laws were passed; Sections 241 and
242, Title 18, United States Codes. These statutes
are enforced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
and are among the few fragments of Civil Rights
laws passed by Congress during the Reconstruction
Era which are still in effect. Prosecution under these
statutes has generally dealt with cases of slavery,
election law violations and brutality by persons under
color of law. Section 242, the one most directly con
cerned with the actions of local law enforcement,
reads:

This Section is commonly referred to as the Sub
stantive Civil Rights Statute. It can be violated by
one person acting alone or by more than one person.
Only specified acts, done wilfully and under color of
law, are brought within this Section. To convict, it
is necessary for the jury to find that the accused had
the purpose of depriving the victim of a Federally
secured right. The term, "color of law", means that
the accused is acting under power possessed by virtue
of the law and under the cloak of authority. Since
the statute is intended to provide a means of punish
ing public officers for wrongful actions in depriving
persons of rights, it does not apply-ro the actions of
private persons. Basically, the rights protected under
Section 242 are those contained in the Fourteenth

Amendment alchough several other righcs based upon
Federal stawces also fall within chis law. Among
them are:
1. The Right to be free of illegal restraint of
the penon.
2. The Right to vote as protected by Federal
law.
3. The Right to be immune from physical vio
lence applied to compel confeJJion of crime.
4. The Right"to be immune from punishment
for a crime except after a fair trial and upon
conviction and pursuant to due p'l'oceJJ.
5. The Right to be free fmm interference with
the free exercise of speech, preJJ, aJJembly
and religion.
6. The Right to be free from mob violence in
cited by public officers.
This Seccion protects boch CitIzens and mere in
habicants. Violacion is punishable as a misdemeanor.
The following cypes of conducc, amounting co
police brucalicy, are among chose which have occurred
in the pasc and which constituce grounds for prose
cution, principally upon a deprivatio!1 of due process
of law and denial of equal proteccion of che law
under the Fourreenth Amendment :
An officer aJJaulted and tortured the victim
for the purpose of extorting a confeJJion of
cnme.
Officers subjected the victims to indignities
solely because of their memhenhip in a religiollJ
sect, and failed to pmtect them from group vio
lence, or to arrest memb.f!t'S of the mob who
abused victims ;n the presence of the officers.
Officers Jut"fendered prisoners to a threatening
mob which administel~ed a heating.
Officers obtained a confeJJion by forcing the
victim to look at a bright light and hitting him
with a rubber hose and a sash cord.
Seccion 241 is known as the Conspiracy Civil
Righcs Scawce. It requires no overt act; conspiracy
alone compleres the crime. Unlike Seccion 242, it
is direcced ac [wo or more citizens who conspire to
interfere wich a citizen in che exercise of rights and
privileges guaranteed by the Consciwcion or Federal

It should also be noted that the protection is afforded
only citizens of the United States, and not mere in
habitants or persons. Violation is punishable as a
felony.
Upon complaint of a violation of either Section,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducts an in
vestigation of the facts surrounding the allegation.
The case is then referred to the Department of
Justice. Each case is ruled on individually by the
Department of Justice to assure uniformity and con
sistency throughout the nation. The Federal Bureau
of Investigation makes no recommendations as to
whether or not a case be prosecuted, and, in con
ducting these investigations, is carrying out its statu
invading Civil Rights should be deplored by all
members. Officers who seek to circumvent Constitu
tional guarantees under the guise of discharging their
official responsibilities destroy not only their own
effectiveness, but the entire concept of police pro
fessionalization. Law enforcement faces an unwaver
ing mandate to observe and protect human dignity
and freedom.
Civil Rights are mere words without the protection
of law enforcement. Law enforcement without Civil
Rights is a contradiction. Regardless of the actions
of the public in facing, or avoiding, their responsi
bilities as citizens, law enforcement must adhere to
the tenets of their Code of Ethics and share in the
great objective of preserving justice among men. In low

to the Fo?er di~ision or department. Many offenses
reported are civil wrongs and the caller is referred
to his attorney. If there is any doubt the district at

Since the crime pictured is a felony (burglary) ,
three different divisions, Patrol, Detective, and the
Records and Identification Divisions take part in its
investigation. Misdemeanor cases are usually con
cluded by the Patrol Division.

posed in order to protect the innocent and to pre

COMPUTERS
AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT
Law enforcement is rapidly moving into the elec
tronic age in its battle against crime. Peace officers
are studying and developing ways to use the elec
tronic computers that hold great promise for the
future.
The use of the computer is new in even the large,
completely integrated metropolitan areas. Its use
in smaller departments is even newer, and many
different problems and decisions are necessary. A
more comprehensive report can be made after the
program is completely organized.
The versatility and importance of the computer
in law enforcement work is best illustrated by the

After a six months study, the firm has recom

tion systems linking all branches of criminal justice,
from the patrolman on the beat to the judge, to
provide instant data wherever needed; (2) identify
potential offenders through improved reporting
methods and the use of computers to analyze data
regarding special characteristics that might label an
individual as likely to turn to crime; (3) find hot
spots of future trouble producing areas by turning
the computer's eye on the ethnic, employment, and
education makeup of a town or neighborhood. Pre
ventative measures could be focused on these areas
to try to cope with the problems that lead to crime.
The report predicts that the proposed $122 million
investment in this attack on crime would pay for
itself in reducing the costs of crime. Californians
are currently paying $600 million a year on police,
court, probation and prison programs and can expect
this to jump to $900 million within ten years.
The most publicized story about the use of a
computer by police occurred in New York. A wom
an was driving along at a legal rate when suddenly
a patrol car ordered her to the side of the road.
The woman was baffled, but the explanation was
simple.
Her arrest was a graphic demonstration of a crime
fighting computer program there, dubbed Operation
Corral (Computer oriented retrieval of auto lar
cenists). The project utilizes a Univac-490 computer.
Two patrol cars are stationed a short distance
apart and scan the license plates of oncoming cars.
These numbers are relayed by the patrolman to a
central point where they are fed into the Univac
which is stocked with thousands of license numbers
of stolen cars, cars bel9nging to drivers with invalid
licenses and cars driven by drivers who have ignored
traffic summons. The computer makes a speedy
match if any of the incoming numbers are on its
wanted list and fires the answer back to the patrol
man before the car passes the next check point.
The woman in the above news story was recorded
in the Univac because she had passed a red light
months before. She had never answered her sum
mons or paid a fine.
The move here, and elsewhere, into the "com
puter age" is one of the most dramatic efforts to
cope with the growing crime rate. The national
crime rate soared 13% last year, and since 1958
has increased six times faster than the population.
"In areas of crime today, we are dealing with a
far more sophisticated group of criminals. If we

COMPUTER VS. BAD CHECKS
AND CREDIT CARD MISUSE
The commercial use of computers may soon
drastically curtail the passing of bad checks
and fraudulent use of credit cards.
A New York firm is offering a computer
based service for checking on subjects wishing
to cash checks, or to use credit cards for large
or suspicious purchases. They claim that it
only requires twenty seconds to phone their
headquarters and check through the compute!
to see if there is any derogatory information
on the customer. The actual checking of the
computer only consumes four of these twenty
seconds according to the firm.
A new computerized central credit file ha:
been established in Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. They expect to extend their service:
throughout California and will undoubtedly
include a service for merchants wishing to
check on strangers who tender checks or make
suspicious purchases with credit cards that may
be invalid.
are going to combat them successfully, we'll have to
develop an equally sophisticated police group of
skilled men using the latest technology available,"
says Milton J. Rector, director of the National In
stitute of Crime and Delinquency, a private organi
zation.
Computers can add a margin of safety to hazard
ous police work too. Alameda is one of the leaders
in their use in California. They operate a computer
stOcked with the names and descriptions of wanted
persons, lists of stOlen cars, and tallies on un
answered traffic summons supplied by 13 police de
partments in the area. Police anywhere in the county
can check the computer by phone or radio when
they SpOt a possible "hot car' or a suspicious person. _
Within two minutes they will learn whether they
have to deal with a potential car thief or murderer,
or JUSt a citizen who has forgotten to pay a traffic
fine.
Next year, Alameda expects to expand its com
puter coverage into eight other counties in the San
Francisco bay area: Before the system began 0per.,
ating this summer, an officer who wanted informa
tion from any department, except his own, had tc
ask a dispatcher to phone the other departments
one by one.

The speed and immense capacity for stOrage of
many kinds of data simultaneously in computers,
makes them versatile enough to handle a wide vari·
ety of duties all at the same time.
Detroit's police, for example, boasts a jack-of-all·
trades computer. It performs many mundane task[
like preparing lists of stolen property or police per
sonnel rosters, it digests crime reports guickly and
functions with considerable success in the direct iden
tification of criminals.
This part of the computer program has started
only recently, but the computer, stocked with the
names, descriptions, and mode of operation of nearly
3,000 known criminals, has already helped to make
several arrests. In four months alone, Detroit's elec
tric sleuth has been instrumental in the apprehension
of five stick-up men, a burglar and a rapist.
A recent computer-inspired. arrest shows how this
system operates. A Detroit bartender, victim of a
stick-up man, gave his detailed description to the
police who fed it into the computer. Searching it~
memory the machine immediately produced five
likely suspects. A check of their fingerprints with
one left on a glass in the bar, immediately identified
the guilt of one suspect.
Chicago police are tieing the use of the computer
to a citizen-participation program, called operation
Crime Stop. This program has led to more than
3,800 arrests since it was launched in April 1964.
Presently 350,000 Chicagoans are carrying wallet
sized cards bearing a special tOil free phone number
and the message "lend us your eyes and ears." The
police expect to have l.5 million cards Out to the
public by January.
Participating citizens are asked to call the number
when they spot suspicious persons or activities. A
listening dispatcher sends a patrol car to the scene

and the phoned tip is fed into the computer almost
immediately. The latter then produces a complete
current tally showing how many people called in
to report particular crimes or activities in certain
police districts where there may be a concentration
of bookies, streetwalkers, drunk drivers and other
offenders.
The list also shows police where mugging, bur
glaries and other serious crimes are rising, enabling
them to assign extra patrolmen to these "hot spots"
fast. Chicago l; w enforcement officials say it would
take weeks to compile all this data without a com
puter, and the resulting reports would be so dated
that remedial action could not be taken in time.
New York State, like California, is considering
testing a computer program. A newly formed New
York State Identification and Intelligence system
will use closed circuit television cameras placed at
strategic spots, such as highway toll booths, stop
signs and traffic lights. They'll flash license numbers
to a central computer point where the computer
will scan lists of wanted vehicles and compare the
incoming numbers with the "wanted" ones.
When they match, the computer produces an alert
which is relayed to officers in a patrol car waiting
near the camera. The entire process is completed
with lightning speed (probably faster than it took
you to read this part of the article) enabling the
police to nab a driver before he can get into second
gear.
The New York agency expects eventually to use
the computer in supplying practically instan,taneous
data on criminal histories and descriptions, lists of
fraudulent checks, laundry marks and stolen prop
erty, and a host of other pieces of information to
3,636 separate agencies involved in law enforcement
in New York state. This should cut down drastically

on the 8 million searches through 60 million forms
made annually by these agencies.
Computers are expected to pay for themselves in
three ways: (1) reduction of crime costs, (2) collec·
tion of thousands of dollars of fines which would
not otherwise be collected and (3) increasing thE
number of policemen Out fighting crime without
reguiring the hiring of additional patrolmen.
The computer-eguipped St. Louis police depart·
ment estimates that it has "manufactured 75 parrol.
men" in terms of man hours saved. St. Louis expects
further manpower saving under a new patrol plan
to be programmed into the computer. Supplied with
voluminous data on complaints, arrests and other
items, the computer will analyze the city, block by
block, to show which area needs more police on the
beat and which have too many.
The use of the computer is so new in fighting
crime that no one can predict how successful they
will be, nor how many uses may be developed
through the years for them. Prospects stimulate the
imagination and promoters of their use predict a
major break-through in curbing the rising crime rate.

Each year more and more people of all ages are
coming to Fresno County to engage in recreational
aaivities. The facilities offered in this area repre
sent a variety of sporting and leisure time pursuits
for the vacation minded public. In the High Sierra
many camp sites, lodges, and resorts are available
to the vacationer with access to hiking trails, ski
areas, numerous fishing srreams and lakes for both
[he fisherman and the boating and water spons en
thusiast, making this a year-around recreation para
dise. For those who only wish co admire the scenery
there are sights to rival any CO be found in the nation.
All of these features act as a magnet that draws
people from the cities of California and of the entire
nation. Therefore, our mountain area experiences a
population explosion during the summer months
that exceeds any in our history. That [his will con
tinually be on [he increase is to be expected. And
as the number of people increases the number of
problems and tragedies will increase proportionately.

It is, therefore, no longer juSt an occasional duty
of the Sheriff to initiate search and rescue missions,
but it has become more and more a major manpower
and time consuming responsibility of his office.
In keeping with the fulfillment of this duty, Sheriff
Willmirth of Fresno County, has organized a Search
and Rescue Team composed of men of the Sheriff's
Department and interested county citizens. In order
that this unit may fulfill its obligations with a maxi
mum degree of skill and economy of operation, a
program of training and preparation has been initi
ated. It is this planning and training, in keeping
with the highest tradition of public service, which
assures the public assistance whenever and wherever
the need may arise.
The men who comprise this Search and Rescue
Team are skilled men of varying trades and profes
sions from all walks of life. They supply their expert
technigues and performance in many phases of search
and rescue work and give freely of their time, effort,
and eguipment when the need arises.
We have men of great skill who provide and
operate modified jeeps adapted to give maximum
performance in rough terrain and in any weather
or road conditions.
We have helicopters to provide fast, life-saving
evacuation to those stricken or injured who are
stranded in the remote mountain areas. They con
tribute not only their machines, but also their skill
in flying, and their knowledge of the mountains, the
numerous canyons and the tracky wind currents. In
addition, we have aircraft to assist in searching from

Children have been known to pass by a stream
that offers water, pass by shelter, and in no way take
advantage of any natural assistance as an adult would.
And we know that a small child may fall into a
stream, turn face down, and settle to the bottom
without a cry, struggle or sound, and even from
a few feet away no one will be aware of a tragedy
taking place.
What can be the circumstances that cause such a
tragedy? What mistakes or errors lead to this mis
hap?
Possibly a clue lies in the make up of all children.
That they are adventurous, curious, and have no
thought of danger or doubt in their own capabilities
is likely ;I factor. It could begin with a small and
innocenr incident which to an adult is often amusing.
A child sees a deer and says that he is going to catch
it. He may follow this deer for a considerable dis
tance, or go in the direction that the deer wenr, in
hopes of getting another look at it.
Or he may just be an explorer who searches the
rock piles, the woods, and wanders farther and far
ther away from the camp. A child does not take
stock of the terrain, he doesn't watch for a trail, nor
cloes he see the clouds forming or the shadows fall
ing. And he doesn't know he is lost until he calls
out fOl Mom or Dad and there is no answer. He
may go to the stream to look for that big fish that
he and Dad are going to catch and lean too far
over and fall, or slip on a moss-covered rock.
So it appears that most of Junior's troubles arise
when Mom or Dad are not around. And to keep
Junior in sight at all times is a difficult task, for
Junior is the first one out of the car when the family
arrives at the campsite. While Mom and Dad are
unloading the car and setting up camp, Junior is off
exploring.
It would appear that the best rule to follow is to
plan your trip carefully, taking into consideration
the terrain and conditions that the child will encoun
ter. Remember that many a child has become lost
while he was supposed to be in camp and Dad was
out fishing, for Junior may have changed his mind
and decided to join Dad at the stream.
Knowing where the children are at all times is
necessary; make sure that they are capable of par
ticipating in all the activities you have planned for
them and make sure that you are included in their
activities.
Fishermen are usually people who find a happy
and relaxing interlude in their hobby. They set up

a good camp and are generally well e9uipped, then
they go off and break a leg. Fishing a stream by
jumping from rock to rock or wading the slippery
botrom can cause injury and immobilize the strongest
of men. It can and does happen. Fishermen have a
desire to get to just one more fishing spot, to try
one more pool. They will attempt ro traverse a nar
row ledge or climb across the most fragile branch of
a tree ro get to a better looking fishing spot. He will
remain after his limit all day long if necessary, and
will go farther down the stream than he intended.
When he does realize that the shadows are falling,
he knows he cannot get back to camp before dark.
He may then figure a short Cut that will bypass the
twists and turns of the stream and in taking this
short Cut he misses the entire camp ground or gets
into another problem he did not COunt on.
Ordinarily fishermen who are reported overdue or
lost, or who may be injured, have an advantage over
other lIsers of the mountains, because his activity
logically suggests the place to look for him, near the
rivers, streams, or lakes. However, if he leaves the
water area ro take a short cut then the search is
expanded ro other areas as well and re9uires more
men, more time and more of a wait for the lost or
injured party.
So, if you find yourself caught away from camp
at night, don't risk injury or death by a hasty or
panicked attempt ro rush b;\Ck to camp. Remain
where you are! No one is assured of a safe passage
among the rocks and brush that surround the streams
even in the day time and at night your chances of
such safety are decreased considerably, and if it is
necessary to spend the night on the trail, it is not the
worst thing that can happen to you. All things con
sidered, it may be the best.
Fishermen should always have a companion with
them. Be aware of the fact that anyone can become
ill or injured and that help is just as close at the
nearest companion.
When the hunters hit the woods the rescue team
is the busiest of any season of the year. Hunters
camp anyw'here they can park and they hunt game
in all directions and in all manners, Some will
attempt to go beyond the areas where others are
hunting; some will seek the tops of the mountains,
and others will seek the canyons and ravines, Some
are not capable of getting themselves back to camp,
let alone carry the game back.
(Continued on Next Page)

Hunters exert themselves in a manner that they
haven't tried since high school days and learn that
in the last twenty years they have developed heart
conditions or other physical handicaps that can prove
fatal. Or they plan a trip of a few days and have a
breakdown of equipment or an unplanned delay in
returning and find that the medication they need for
diabetes or epilepsy is not to be found at the corner
drugstore, because there is no corner drug store.
It is more important for the hunter to assist the
searchers in finding him than any other person en
gaged in mountain recreational activity. For in look
ing for a hunter a searcher must look everywhere.
A little smoke, a mark on a trail, or a flashing mirror,
can assist the lost man in being reached by help.
The sight-seer is generally the person who did
not intend to get very far off the highway. He didn't
prepare for a sudden stOrm and / or mechanical
breakdown. Therefore when he has to get out and
walk to find assistance, he is ill prepared and often
unable to assist himself or others who may be wait
ing in the car for him to return to them with help.
He may intend to leave his car for only a short walk
into the woods and find that his sandals and shorts
or light T-shirt are not meant for the brush and
rocks that he will encounter. He will find that the
heat of the day is equalled only by the extreme cold
of the night and if he has injured himself, or become
lost, he will have an extremely uncomfortable night
away from proper clothing and shelter.
Many attempt to travel the secondary roads and
find themselves stranded in their cars when the motor
overheats and a vapor lock stOps them. Or, perhaps, Orc
they get stuck or break an exle. They may have
planned their next meal at a lodge or resort, and
find themselves miles away on a seldom traveled
road, with nothing to eat. Many too wiH attempt a
short cut that takes them away from the road, leaving
would-be rescuers without a probable starting point.
Organized groups that plan excursions into the
mountains face a great responsibility. Usually some
one is selected to pick the area and to make the
arrangements for transportation. Often in the case
where the excursion involves youngsters several
adults are chosen as leaders. These adults must be
the ones to determine the proper equipment neces
sary, plan the route of march, and be sure that it is
a reasonable endeavor for the smallest ones in the
group. They must make certain that there is suffici
ent adult leadership in the group to watch all of the
children at all times. Often a group is transported

ro an area by several cars and intend to be picked
up several days later in another location and then
the cars leave immediately for home after unloading
the group. When the group contains many children
and most of them are small the chances of needing
help are greatly increased and arrangements should
be made for assistance if needed. A car should
remain at the point of embarkation for an injury
can occur within a mile of this point and the waiting
car represents help.
Anyone taking such a group should notify the
Sheriff's Department and/or other public agencies,
outlining the route to be followed and the equip
ment which is being taken. More and more people
are taking small Citizen's Band radios on these ex
cursions in order to keep track of all involved. Tell
the officials before you leave what channel you are
on and remember that any aircraft looking for you
will be on that same channel. Don't look at a map
and decide it looks like the best place for a hike.
First check with the officials and find Out if the trails
are still there. What may look like a two day trip
on a map may be, in reality, a five day trip. Keep
our group rogether and set your pace ro that of the
slowest walker. Have an ample number of adults
who know what they are doing to supervise the
youngsters.
During the past two summers the Fresno County
Sheriff's Rescue Team has expended 6,697 man hours
in search, rescue and recovery operations assisting
119 persons ro return ro their families. 63 missions
have been made into the mountains and the bodies
of 33 victims of all ages found, victims of drowning,
heart attacks, falls and the elements. How many of
these tragedies could have been prevented and who
could have prevented them are questions that remain
unanswered but they are questions that might be
answered if certain precautions were taken. We don't

expect to prevent all of these things from taking
place but we do expect to prevent it from happening
to YOU.
So the following summary might be considered a
guide to all who use the mountain areas. They may
not apply in all situations, but they offer hope and
a better chance for survival than ever before. They
are drawn from the experiences of many men. Men
who have seen many rescues, who live in the moun
tains, who fiy the planes and helicopters, and the
many men who walk the hillsides in search of a man,
woman, or child in need of help.
Remember, ANYONE can become lost in un
familiar territory. This includes the "Native Son",
the experienced woodsman, hikers, and sportsmen.
A man is really tost when suddenly, and it is always
suddenly, there comes to him the thudding realiza
tion that he cannot tell to Save his life whether he
should go North, South, East or West, and that he
really doesn't know one direction from another. This
is an extremely unpleasant realization to have at any
time and the first time it happens, it will seem des
perate.
If you find yourself in this situation, calmly take
the following steps. First, sit down and relax, think
things over for at least fifteen minutes. Remember,
the one night you spend on the trail is not that bad.
Give yourself time to sit and think and allow the
surprise and panic to subside. Now that you are
calm, take a look around. Mark the tree Or the rock
against which you are leaning. Now step out a
hundred feet or so and make a big circle, always
keeping the tree or rock as a hub. Look for land
marks or the trail. If you are still unable to find
your way, you have a decision to make. Namely
whether you will stay put or strike out. If you are
sick or injured or extremely tired, you will find it
better to Stay where you are. If darkness is coming
on, stay where you are and prepare to spend the
night regardless of your condition. Never travel at
night in the mountains or in rough terrain; however,
if there is plenty of daylight left, and you do decide
to walk out, do the following: Put your name, the
date, and the direction of travel on a piece of paper
or on a piece of bark and leave it on the rock or tree
that you have used for a hub. Mark it well to attract
the attention of others.
In traveling, pick a distant tree or landmark as a
destination and head for it. As you go, leave a trail
by tying bits of cloth to bushes and piling rocks to
indicate that you have passed this way. Make arrows

on the ground with twigs and branches indicating
the direction taken. Remember, searchers are looking
not only for your tracks but for any sign that nature
did not make. It is most important to remember to
keep your head. Keep in mind that you will be
missed and a search will be made for you, in the
interim you can survive in the wilderness. If a clear
ing presents itself, make smoke and flash some bright,
reflecting object whenever you hear an aircraft. A
3 x 3 foot orange ground cloth spread on a rock
or in a clearing will be the first object seen by the
aircraft; it is light, inexpensive and most valuable to
you.
Try to conserve your strength and remain under
some type of shelter if a storm occurs. Always be
alert for the men on horseback, on foot, in airplanes,
helicopters, and jeeps-they are looking for you.
Give them some sign of where you are or have been,
and when you reach water stay there for you can
survive on water alone for many days, and you will
be found .
Most important, before our trip ever begins leave
the following information with someone who is re
sponsible and who will place it in the hands of the
proper authorities if it is needed. The Fresno County
Sheriff's Department furnishes forms to cover the
necessary information: your name, age, sex, address,
and home phone. Also the number in the party,
maximum and minimum ages, destination, route to
be taken, dates of departure and expected return. Of
interest too are the supplies being taken, the descrip
tion and location of the cars taken and the name of
your family physician. A further precaution is to
list the names and addresses of all members of the
party.
These things will help you and yours to enjoy the
vacation wonderland that is here to be enjoyed and
will assure you the opportunity to return again and
again.

WHAT HAPPENED IN
THE MOUNTAIN AREA
Each year when the weather turns warm, thou
sands of vacationers flock to the mountain resorts
of Fresno County for a vacation or a weekend of
hiking, fishing, hunting, swimming, boating, water
skiing, or just to take life easy in one of the many
delightful camps which abound in our vacation
paradise. The Vast majority of these people are
careful and law-abiding, but there is always that
small percentage who, either through ignorance or
carelessness, disregard laws and safety regulations,
thereby imperiling their own lives as well as the
lives of others. In order to watch over the safety of
our mountain guests, the Fresno County Sheri.ff's
Department each summer assigns resident deputies
to the more popular resort areas. Assisted by the
Fresno County Sheriff's Boat and Communications
Squadrons, the mountain resort deputies are re
sponsible for all phases of law enforcement in their
respective areas.

Last year Deputy Jerry Lawless patrolled the Pine
Flat Lake area, Sgt. Sam Eidson the Shaver Lake
area, and Deputy Chet Lovgren the Huntington
Lake area. Sgt. Eidson became ill during the season
and was replaced by Deputy Lovgren. Deputy
James Egerer then replaced Deputy Lovgren at
HuntingtOn Lake.
Deputy Lawless reports on activities at Pine Flat
while Deputy Lovgren reports on the Shaver-Hunt
IngtOn area.
WHAT HAPPENED AT PINE FLAT LAKE
By: JERRY LAWLESS
Pine Flat Lake was a busy lake but a safe lake
during 1965. Approximately 700,000 people visited
the lake from May 1, 1965 to Sept. 30, 1965. Seventy
per cent of these visitors were from the Southern
part of the State. In order to keep up with this
influx of visitors, many new camping areas have
been built and will be ready for the 1966 season.

The largest of these new camps is located below
the dam on the south side of the river. This area
will be equipped with permanent rest rooms, picnic
tables, and barbecue pits. Water has been piped
into many of the individual camps.
This area has been developed jointly by Fresno
County and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Much of the credit for the fine camping facilities
at Pine Flat Lake should go to Mr. AI Plummer,
who heads the Department of Engineers at the lake.
AI always has Fresno County residents in mind. He
keeps building more camping facilities and Improv
111g eXlst111g ones.
Two hundred new boat mooring slips will be
available for the 1966 season. One hundred of these
will be at Lombardo's Fishing Village and the rest
at Trimmer Landing.
The Fresno County Sheriff's Power Boat and Com
munications Squadrons assist in many ways during
the busy summer months. The Power Boat Squad
ron patrols the lake on weekends and assists the
resident deputy. The Communications Squadron
mans a 50 foot tower and first aid station at Island
Park on the North shore of Pine Flat Lake. Both
of these fine groups donate many hours of their
time for the sake of boating safety in Fresno County.
The resident deputy assigned to each mountain
area has many responsibilities and duties, such as

WHAT HAPPENED AT SHAVER AND
HUNTINGTON LAKE AREAS
With the conclusion of the 1965 summer season
the mountain resident deputies gave a sigh of relief
and returned to their regular duties in Fresno. It
had been another one of those busy summers, long 1
hours, hard work, moments of pleasure and a near p
tragedy for a veteran of the mountains. Due to a 0)
serious illness, Sgt. Eidson was forced to take a t't
trip "down the hill" to recuperate.
The 1965 summer season began in May with the
invasion of the trout fishermen who come to try
their luck in one of the many lakes or streams. Sgt.
Eidson was at this time assigned to Shaver Lake.
With the arrival of summer came the horde of water
skiers who visit Shaver and Huntington Lakes each
year. Deputy Chet Lovgren was at this time assigned
to the Huntington Lake area. The primary duty for
Deputy Lovgren was to provide boat patrol for both
Huntington and Shaver Lakes, however, as usual,
this turned out to be a secondary function. Investi
gating crimes, delivering emergency messages and
searching for lost persons consumed a good portion

of the deputy's time. The nights for the mountain
deputy are not always his to do with as he pleases.
Huntington Lake provides teenage dances three
nights a week at Lakeshore Resort. The average
Saturday night attendance is between 600 and 800
very ambitious teen-agers.
During the month of July, Sgt. Eidson became ill
following a rugged rescue operation and returned
to Fresno. Deputy Lovgren was at this time trans
ferred to Shaver Lake to assume Sgt. Eidson's duties
and Deputy Jim Egerer was assigned to the Hunt
ington Lake area.
During the vacation season a week seldom goes
by without the mountain deputies being called Out

deliver an emergency message, assist at the scene of
an accident, or to begin search operations for a lost
person. 1965 was a fortunate year for lost persons.
Many reports of lost persons were received but all
were located with no loss of life.
The mountain deputy"s duties are not always re
stricted to areas accessible by road. Many times the
mountain deputy must mount a horse or put on
hiking boots and travel into a remote back country
area on a search and rescue operation. This past
year it was necessary to pack into the remote Miller's
Crossing area to retrieve the body of a drowned
fisherman. Another trip involved accompanying the
Coroner to Pavillion Dome on Piute Creek to re
trieve the bodies of two subjects killed in an air
craft accident.
The anticipated busy week-end of deer season for
1965 received a big boost when 12 to 14 inches of
snow fell at the higher elevations. Deputy Lovgren
spent the first night assisting approximately 150
snowbound motorists over Kaiser Pass. The follow
ing morning began with several reports of lost deer
humers, all of whom were located by Sgt. Bill
Young and the Search and Rescue Squadron.
To effectively patrol an area as large as our moun
tain area it is often necessary to ask assistance from
other agencies. Many times during the past summer
we were fortunate in obtaining the services of the
Southern California Edison Company and the U. S.
Forest Service. Mr. Ken Davis, Special Agent for
the Edison Company, was always ready and more
than willing to provide any assistance requested by
the Sheriff's Department. Also working closely with
and assisting the mountain deputy were the local
constables of the Ponderosa Judicial District, Con
stable Jack Sturgess and Deputy Constable Dick
Smith. It is through the combined efforts of all
these agencies that our mOllntains are a better place
in which to vacation and to play.

ADMINISTRATION DIVISION
The Administration Division functions as the
central co-ordinating and support unit to the line
and staff operation of the department. Here is where
the complex responsibility of policy making lies
where each department must look for its rules. Here,
also, are established the standards of discipline and
where these standards are maintained . Vacancies
for all positions in the Department and the calling
for promotional examinations are another responsi
bility of this nerve center of the organization.
Training is not limited to just recruits, but is
applied to the department as a whole. Refresher
courses are needed to keep the personnel informed
on new methods and changes in policy. Basic recruit
training and supervisory training for new sergeants
are provided at the State Center Peace Officer's
Academy. Inservice training is provided through
the use of Roll Call Training Bulletins, Department
Courses, and F.B.I. Courses.
Each year, the Administration Division has the
tremendous task of preparing the annual budget
request for funds. Each item needed for new equip
ment, additional personnel, supplies and services
must be scrutinized, screened and eval uated before
being presented to the Board of Supervisors for
their approval.

The Police Patrol is the basic tool of law enforce
ment and is the foundation upon which all other
police functions rest. While it is not as spectacular
as the many interesting and valuable laboratory
technigues, and lacks the glamour of shadowing or
investigation, it is the backbone of the department.
Careful patrol by intelligent officers is the first
line of defense against crime. The man on the beat

of the police function of the protection of life and
property.
While on patrol, the officers watch for violations
of srarutes and ordinances; suppress disturbances;
give aid and relief as circumstances re<Juire. Because
of their position in the community, . patrolmen are
the first to arrive at the scene of a disaster or of a
crime. As the menof this division perform the initial
investigation on moSt of the crimes occurring in the
unincorporate areas, their competence determines the
eventual sol ution of the case.
As the landscape of Fresno County is continuously
changing and as some of the population of Fresno
is migratory in nature, continuous evaluation and
rearrangement of beats and personnel is reguired in
order to remain abreast of current problems.

The patrolman's day begins at 5: 30 a.m. After
eating breakfast and showering, he dresses in casual
clothes to report or work at the Sheriffs Department.
Upon arrival, he signs the payroll roster and emp
ties his personnel box of all papers, which includes
personal correspondence, bills, Roll Call Training
bulletins and bulletins of crimes committed during
the prior shifts, or tours of duty. In the Patrol Divi
sion, there are three of these eight hour shifts in
order to have patrolmen available to perform services
of all kinds for you, the public, at all times.
The officer next goes to the basement area, where
his locker is located, to change into his uniform,
checking first to asscertain that it is clean and pressed,
his shoes shined and brass polished, for a neat ap
pearance is mandatory. By now it is 6:40 a.m. and

Shih Sergeant, who also doubles as a patrolman in
the field. This "briefing" consists of comprehensive
reading of recent "wanted bulletins", teletypes and
telegrams, reviewing equipment available to him, and
discussing areas where various crimes are likely to
occur.
At the conclusion of the "briefing", he proceeds
to the back parking lot of the Sheriff's Department,
where he is given the keys to the patrol vehicle he
will operate on his tour of duty. An inspection of all
equipment, such as shotgun, flares, mouth breather,
casting material, tools and spare tire, is required, as
well as checking lights, siren, gas gauge, oil content,
exterior dents, etc. Any irregularity must be reported
to his Shift Sergeant, or he will be held responsible.
Upon the completion of the vehicle inspection, the
"Patrolman's Activity Report" is filled in with his
assigned "Beat", or Area, starting mileage, and his
Lieutenants name. This report will contain all the
calls he receives on his tour of duty, how they were
received (radio, phone, citizen, etc. . . .), the time
consumed on each, and the final disposition. It is
turned in at the end of the shift and statistics are
compiled from it.
It is now 7:00 a.m., and he is ready to be in the
field to relieve the "overlapping" patrolman on the
preceding shih.
When the patrolman arrives at his prescribed area
and answers a call such as burglary, he must first
decide if a crime has been committed. If so, he must
then preserve the crime scene, question any witnesses,
and determine if assistance from the Identification
Bureau or Detective Division for special follow-up
work, is required. Since your patrolman is first at the
crime scene, he is held solely responsible in the event
any evidence is destroyed.

erolman is frequently required to make, what is re

him all of five seconds, but it has to be right, for that
decision may later be reviewed in the United States
Supreme Court, the highest in the land, where erudite
men may take months to determine if what the of
ficer decided in five seconds, was right. Even then,
the judges are not always unanimous. So, obviously,
your patrolman must keep abreast of the newest laws
passed and most recent decisions made by our courts.
Next he may respond to a call in the mountainous
areas, near rivers and lakes, where a person has been

reported lost. An immediate and efficient search will
be organized, along with local help. If this produces
no results, he has the power to activate the Sheriffs
Department Rescue Team, using as many men as
deemed necessary, the Sheriffs Scuba Diving Team
(for water search), and the Aero Squadron (Heli
copter and Plane). All of this COSts tax money, but
expense is not considered when a life is at stake.
It is now almost 3:00 p.m. and near the end of
his tour of duty, and your patrolman returns to the
Sheriffs Department, fills the patrol vehicle with gas,
removes any papers from it, and replaces any equip
ment expended during his shift. He turns his key in
to the Operation Officer at the front desk, and fills in
a car report, if service or repairs are necessary. The
Patrolman's Report is then completed, as well as
crime, follow-up, miscellaneous and arrest reports.
These are then read and corrected, if need be, by
the Lieutenant, his Shift Commander. He can now
go to the locker room, change back into his civilian
clothes and return home.
Although he is home and out of uniform, this
doesn't necessarily mean the end of his work day. A
large percentage of your patrolmen attend classes at
night, in order to be better prepared to serve you, the
public. He is also required to report to the Peace
Officer's Range one Friday out of each month for
Weapon's Training, not only to improve his marks
manship, and be proficient with all weapons at his
disposal, but to know when their use is necessary.
This sometimes proves difficult, for he may be work
ing the night shift, or Friday may be his day off.
It all boils down to this fact ... your patrolman is
proud of his chosen profession and desires to improve
himself.
The purpose of your Sheriffs Department is to
"Protect Lives and Property". This is also the pa
trolman's motto.

DETECTIVE DIVISION
The Detective Division has the basic function of
investigating all crimes and criminal activity occur
ring within the unincorporate areas of the county.
Investigations by this division would lead to the
recovery of stolen property and the arrest and con
viction of the offender. These investigations result
when cases initiated by the patrolmen are not cleared
on the spot and require a more thorough study of
the case to identify and apprehend the offender.
The offenses investigated include all Part I type
of crimes: Homicides, Rapes, Robberies, Assaults,
Burglaries, Thefts, Check and Sex Offenses. The
cases are not limited to felonies, but to misdemeanors
as well, except for those cases assigned to the vice
or juvenile bureau.
As the criminal is in continuous movement, and
his activities know no boundaries, he may overlap
several jurisdictions during the perpetration of his
offenses. A close cooperation is maintained with all
law enforcement agencies at all times. This coopera
tion increases the efficiency of all departments.

INTERVIEWING VICTIMS OF
CHILD MOLESTING
By C. ].
The offense of child molest is by statute Penal
Code Section 288; and, amongst other elements
limits a molest to a child under the age of fourteen
years.
The majority of these offenses are reported by one
or both parents after the parent has first learned of
the incident by any number of means, and after
various lengths of time have elapsed from the time
of the commission of the offense.
The age of the victim may vary from pre-school
to junior high school level. The offense may have
been committed by a member of the immediate
family, a relative, a neighbor or friend, or a stranger.
There is also the possibility that the offense was not
committed at all. It is necessary for the investigator
to clarify the situation, obtain the facts, and screen
the victim before proceeding with the investigation.
The age of the victim becomes very important, for
in all cases where there is no competent eye witness,

it is necessary for the victim to establish the corpus
delecti, except where a plea of guilty is entered. In
order for the victim to appear in court the child must
be capable of being qualified as a competent witness
regarding veracity, and to whom the oath can be
administered. During the officer's contact with the
victim, he should screen the child's ability to make
a future COllrt appearance by means of questions
which indicate the child has attained the age of
reason.
These questions are usually good "ice breakers"
and tend to assist the officer in establishing a bond
with the child allowing further communication to
flow freely. Questions such as address, age, birth
date, days of the week, time, identification of months,
reading of the calendar, name of school and teacher,

physical evidence (plus a determination of the neces
sity of a physician's examination, rests almost en
tirely upon the victim.
The investigator must be careful not to "lead" the
interrogation, as most young children can be influ
enced into any type of agreement, especially when
they feel they are "helping' the officer. Furthermore
children tend to explain the whole event in one long
sentence filled' with many generalities. They are
prone to use terms such as "he" or "they" in referring
to numerous people all within the same frame of
reference.
To allow the child to make this broadly framed
statement is quite all right as it gives him the oppor
tunity for expression, during which time certain per
tinent facts will be mentioned. It is then necessary
for the investigator to go back over the facts with
the child on a step by step basis, ferreting out the
information needed to make the picture specific. It is
necessary to determine in detail a specific account of
the offense. The terminology utilized to describe the
act will vary in proportion to the age and maturity
of the victim. One good rule to follow is to questior~
the child as to his own term of identifying acts,
anatomy, etc. These terms are sometimes the per
sonal manufacture of an individual family and can
be verified with the child's parent. There are times
that the child will have to point to a part of the
anatomy to indicate an area for which he knows no
term. The victim may have to describe by explaining
a series of actions JUSt what occurred during the
offense.
The adult investigator can run into difficulty by
approaching the victim with preconceived concepts
of what the offense entailed. Often a child will not
volunteer information, and certain areas of the of
fense may be omitted or passed over due to the
negligence of the officer in thoroughly covering the
total picture. As distasteful, and often unbelieveable,
the scope that sex can range, the investigator must
be able to ascertain how far and in what direction
the offender transgressed. Though the majority of
the approach may have been within the pattern of
..normal sex actions", areas of perversions must be
explored, but in such a manner as not to instill any
knowledge or concept within the child of which he
heretofore was not aware. This requires depth of
understanding of the individual child, which must be
assimilated within a shorr period of contact with the
vICtlm. It must be based on sound judgment and

understanding, with the realization that the officer
is not conducting a course in sex education. The
sensibilities of the child and the family must be con
sidered and the conduct of the interrogation be within
the bounds of good taste. Toe need for tact and
truth is apparent.
The investigator can rely on the "protection
thro:.lgh innocence" concept to base his determination
of the veracity of the report. Certainly no child who
answered details regarding such an offense could do
so without first hand knowledge. Also, no other per
son could anticipate what guestions, in detail, would
be asked, nor how the guestions would be asked, in
order to have "coached" the child. Furthermore, a
false report of such an incident is usually made by
the child to conceal a transgression of his own and
such motivation would most certainly be detected
during the interrogation by the experienced investi
gator.
Children shy away from disagreeable situations,
and this attempt to avoid, coupled with their desire
to please and fear of adult reprimand, are the reasons
for confidential interrogation of the child away from
parents, guardians, etc. The child has experienced
disagreeable situations in the course Of normal family
relationships, but the officer, a stranger, usually does
not represent the chance for adverse reaction to the
child's story. This is again the child's judgment of
the situation based on his own experience; and,
unless the child had undergone a previolls distasteful
situation with an officer, or some similar bias causing
factor, the child would normally approach the officer
without misconceptions. Contrary to what most par
ents like to believe, their child will more comfortably
provide information, and converse more freely out
of the presence of the parent. It must be kept in

mind that the parent is the real authority figure at
this time, and proportionately the parental represen
tation of authority increases with the youthfulness of
the child.
The utilization of a skilled female officer during
the interrogation of the child victim is beneficial to
the victim, the family, and male investigator, and
often lends readily to the success of the interrogation.
The substitution of a female matron without experi
ence adds litrle to the total picture.
It is the trained investigator, who understands
children, approaches them on their level, and allows
them to be children, who is well on his way to a
successful interrogation of the child . By using tact,
understanding, and patience the information neces
sary to a successful prosecution of the offender can
be gained from a victim, even of pre-school age.

An adeguate records system is necessary for the
analysis of problems that confront the modern law

cause the problems of law enforcement today are
RIDDLE Ltr more complex than they were a few years ago.
Today, modern law enforcement agencies have far
more duties and far more contact with the public i[
serves. This increase in duties is accompanied by an
increase in police reports.
It is estimated that each field officer will add
about 150 rcports per year or about 8 inches of file
space to [he current files. The information collected
must be readily available to the officers in the field.
In order to serve the field men, [he records division

As can be seen, there is a direct relationship between
the efficiency of a department and the quality of its
records procedures.
Complete information is essential to effective police
work. Analysis of this information can be used by
commanding officers when making decisions relating
to the distribution of their forces, the assignment of
men to particular tasks, the expenditure of funds
for one purpose or another, or the revision of plans
of operations in relation to the changing Cflme
picture.
Much of this information necessary to formulate
sound decisions may be gleaned from administrative
records or reports which give a picture of present
conditions and problems faced by the department.
The task of identification has steadily kept pace with
the expansion faced by the other divisions within
the department.
RECORDS
The record keeping system of the Fresno County
S~erifl's Department is of the single integrated type.
All repom of activities of the department are filed
in the master index file.
Police records serve three main purposes. They
record all discovered facts relating to an incident
and the action taken; they enable supervisors to
exercise control over police operations; and they
serve as a basis for statistics for future police action.
Fingerprints are the building blocks for an identi
fication system, and in the case of the Fresno County
Sheriff's Department is one of the primary functions
of the identification division. On file are approxi
mately 200,000 fingerprint cards which increase about
200 per month.

of CrIme scenes. The purpose of the examination
of the crime scene is to discover, identify, record
and preserve evidence, to process this evidence and
present it in court. From the processing of this
evidence, the personnel shaH derive their opinions
and conclusions and present these in Court as expert
witnesses.
Having once found such evidence, the criminolo
gist establishes its exact location by measurements,
sketches, and/or photographs; reproduces it by pho
tographic and casting methods; preserves it in an
unchanged and uncontaminated form, labels it in its
proper sequence, and interprets its relationship to
the crime.
After the evidence has been secured and returned
to the Crime Laboratory, the next step takes the
form of comparative analysis; such as the examina
tion of glass fractures, nitrate tests, firearm identifi
cation, tool marks, fingerprints, shoe and tire tracks,
blood, hairs, etc.
To assist the personnel in their work, such basic
tools as the microscope, comparison microscope,
macrophotography, infrared photography, ultraviolet
lights, basic chemistry paraphernalia are used during
the examinations.

WARRANT
The Warrant Section has the duty of serving all
warrants received from the Fresno County Courts.
Eighty-seven per cent of aU local warrants received
are traffic warrants and as such, demand the largest
amount of man hours for their service.
After the warrant is received, it is indexed, logged
and then posted to be served by one of the personnel
of the warrant section. After the offender has been
located, the officer has one of several choices. He
may incarcerate the offender who then will follow
the normal detention to court routine. The offender
may be taken before the nearest Magistrate and
proce:;sed in this manner. At the discretion of the
officer, the offender may be cited in to appear at a
later date. This procedure will allow the offender
time to contact an attorney, post bail in court, or
establish correspondence between himself and the
court in order to clear up the matter.
Few people realize that the warrant officer's main
consideration is one of identity; he must be positive
that the person arrested is the one so named on the
warrant.
The warrant section also has the duty of serving
and filing all warrants forwarded by other counties
or states. When the warrant is from another county,
the officer has much the same discretion as above.
However, when the warrant is from another state,
and extradition proceedings are necessary, the offi
cer's duties are established by code.

MENTAL HEALTH SECTION
The Mental Health Detail is an important section
of the Sheriff's Department in that its function is
to apprehend and place in the County Hospital Psy
chiatric Ward those persons believed to be mentally
ill.
Some of those placed there are persons who have
been apprehended under emergency conditions,
where the patient is a danger, not only to himself,
but also to others. The apprehension of the patients
under these conditions requires tact and patience in
order that the patient may be placed in custodial
care for observation without physical injury. These
persons are not considered as criminals, and as such,
are not liable for their acts.
Duties of this detail also include the apprehension
of persons on mental or inebriate petitions. Trans
portation of these persons to the State Hospitals
after court commitment is also a function of this
detail, as is the apprehension of committed patients
who are on leave and have shown signs in the home
of tendency towards regression and are <;onsequently
in need of further treatment.
Appreciation of the fact and kindness used by the
men of this detail are reflected by the thankfulness
of the families of the patients.

DEDICATED PEACE OFFICERS RETIRE
FROM ACTIVE DUTY
1965 was a fortunate year for the Fresno County
Sheriff's Department-we lost no members either
active or retired through death. However, we lost
the services of five veteran members of the depart
ment via the retirement roure.
First to leave was Sgt, Marvin J. Prevost better
known co his fellow law enforcement officers as
" Pat." Pat took his retirement on March 31, 1965
after serving nearly seventeen years as a member
of the department.
Pat joined the department July 20, 1948, and be
gan his career as a deputy sheriff by serving as bailiff

ity Division during his career with out department.
He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant on July
1, 1952.
Pat was born in Kansas City, Mo., but spent his
early years in Tacoma, Wash. He began his career
in law enforcement as a member of the San Fer
nando Police Department. During WWII he served
with the POrt ~ecurity Section of the Coast Guard
stationed at Tacoma, \Vash.
During his career as a peace officer, Pat has main
tained a keen interest in the many problems of law
enforcement. Perhaps because of his many years as
a jailor, his most active interest has been in the re
habilitation of the alcoholics who frequent our jail,
or "Winos" as these Skid Row denizens are usually
called. Pat believes that road camps and farms arc
fine for alcoholics as far as they go, but at best they
arc only temporary expedients, useful only for get
ting the alcoholic sobered up and on his feet. He
believes that these people reguire guidance and
patient understanding if they are evCI to be restored
as useful members of society. In line with this phi
losophy he has been active in working with Alco
holics Anonymous and other organizations helping
these unfortunate people.
Pat has also been an active member in the Fresno
County Peace Officers Association, freguently volun
teering his services as a chef. Those of us who have
attended these barbecues will never forget the deli
cious chile beans that he cooked.
After hanging up his badge and gun, Pat went to
work as a salesman selling house trailers and camp
ers. Anyone in the market for either of these items
should contact him at McCoon Mobile Home and
Camper Sales, 4914 N. Blackstone where he is now
sales manager.
Pat lives at 336 Howard with his wife Lois and
son Chris. He says that the thing he misses most
since leaving the department are the daily contacts
with his fellow law enforcement officers.
The second member of the department to retire
was Sgt. Gene Predmore who retired on Sept. 24,
1965 after a career of seventeen years with the
Sheriff's Department. Gene was a sergeant in the
Security Division at the time of his retirement. Dur
ing his career as a deputy sheriff, Gene worked in
nearly every section of the department, including
Vice, Detective, Bailiff, Patrol, Civil, Jail and as a
resident deputy in the Huron area.
Ge:1e was born on May 17, 1909 in Helena, Mon
tana. He attended schools in Seattle, Oklahoma,

and San Diego. He graduated from San Diego State
College in 1933 with a degree in Business Admini
scracion. After graduating from college he wem to
work as a civilian employee of the Army Engineers,
Western Division. He worked at various projects in
the Western States and in the Philipioe Islands.
While serving with the Army Engineers he had occa
sion to work with CID on several investigations and
became interested in law enforcemem. He was tired
of traveling around the country and was looking
for a place to settle down with his family when he
heard that Fresno Coumy was seeking applicants
for the position of Deputy Sheriff. He passed the
examination and became a Deputy Sheriff on No
vember 10, 1948.
Gene believes that new officers should have a well
rounded education before starting their law enforce
ment work. He believes that a college education
combined with practical experience and good in
service training form an unbeatable combination.

grandchildren and occasionally gets in some fishing.
Gene will be remembered for his diligence in
getting the job done and for his friendly and cheer
ful disposition.
The next member of the department to retire was
Mrs. Ruth Gruhler, a jail matron. Her retirement
became effective December 11, 1965. Ruth was
forced to take a disability retirement because of
emphysema, a lung disease.
Ruth came to work for the Sheriff's Department
as a relief matron on March 16, 1949 on a tem
porary basis. She became a permanent member of
the department in 1950. For many years she was
the matron on the graveyard shift. Those of us who
worked with her in the jail remember Ruth because
of her even temperment and friendly disposition.
She never became flustered or lost her temper no
matter how obnoxious the prisoner became. Not an
easy task when one remembers that women prisoners
are frequently more foul-mouthed and more trucu
lent than men prisoners.
Ruth was born in Washata COUnty, Oklahoma.
Her parents moved to California before she was a
year old, settling first in Madera and then moving
to Fresno a short time later. As a young woman
Ruth worked as a cosmetician, but gave it up to
become a housewife. After rearing a daughter, Ruth
decided that she would like to go to work again.
One day while reading the newspaper she saw an
article stating that Fresno County was seeking a
relief matron for the women's jail. The job appealed
to her, so she took the civil service examination and
was successful in obtaining the position.
Ruth lives alone at 3613 E. Nevada, her husband
having died in 1952. Her hobbies are reading non
fiction and visiting her grandchildren. She misses
the daily contacts with her many friends at the
Sheriff's Department and is delighted when any of
them call or visit her. A retirement party was given
for her by her fellow matrons.
On the last day of the year the retirements of Lt.
Donald Christopher and Deputy AItOn Schmall be
came effective. Both retired on disability pensions.
For those who think law enforcement officers have
a "soft touch," it might be significant to point out
that three of the five retirements from our depart
ment last year were for disability reasons.
Lt. Christopher or "Chris" as he was usually called
by his fellow law enforcement officers began his
career with the Sheriff's Department on July 1, 1949.

LT. DONALD "CHRIS" CHRISTOPHER
After serving briefly as a bailiff in the courts of
Judge Shepard and Judge Conley, he became a jailor
in the old Jail Annex. Chris devoted himself dili
gently to his job by attempting to learn every phase
of jail procedure. Many new deputies eager for the
day when they can investigate crime and get their
names in the newspapers, tend to overlook the im
portance of the jail as a function of law enforcement,
but not Chris. So well was his knowledge and judg
ment respected that he soon became known as the
"Grey Fox."
On July I, 1950 he was promoted to Senior
Deputy as sergeants were called in those days and
placed in charge of the Jail Annex. He held this
position until July 1, 1954 when he was elevated
to the rank of Lieutenant. On January 1, 1955 he
became Head Jailor in charge of both Jails.
When the Pa.trol Division was reorganized 1fl
1956, Chris was placed in charge of this division
and was instrumental in instituting the one-man
patrol car system and in laying out the new patrol
beats. He remained in charge of the Patrol Division
until 1961 when he returned to the jailor the Secur
ity Division as it is now called. He remained in the
Security Division until he was forced to retire on a
service-connected disability because of a heart con
dition.
Chris took a keen interest not only in the technical
aspects of the job, but he was also interested in the
welfare of the prisoners under his custOdy. He helped
many inmates return to society as useful citizens.
Although he was generous in obtaining releases and
modifications of sentences for deserving inmates
woe to the man who failed to live up to his promise
and showed up again in jail soon after his release.
He was also interested in the problems of the alco
holics and worked closely with Alcoholics Anony
mous and other groups interested in aiding these
(Colltinlled on Next Pal!.e)

unfortunate people.
Chris was born on June 6, 1909, and has lived in
Fresno County all his life. He attended the Jackson
Elementary School, the Longfellow Junior Hi, and
the old Fresno Tech High School. He became inter
ested in law enforcement while serving as a civilian
fire chief at Camp Pinedale during WWII.
He and his wife Carol live at 2150 S. Mirine
wawa. They have one son, Don Christopher, Jr.
For a hobby Chris raises pheasants, doves, <Juail, and
other birds. Whenever his health permits, Chris
likes to travel. Sometimes he gets lonesome for the
old job and comes down to visit his friends at the
office.
Although he has retired from active duty, Chris
still maintains a keen interest in local law enforce
ment problems. For new officers entering the de
partment, he has some sound practical advice:
"Don't assume that you know it all just because
you have a better education than some of the older
officers or your superiors . . Education is a continuing
process and doesn't stop when you leave school.
Seek the advice of experienced officers, particularly
that of your superiors. They have proven themselves
on the job and are usually eager to pass on their
knowledge to you if you approach them in the right
way."
Lt. Christopher will be missed by his many friends
and associates at the Sheriff's Officer, and various
law enforcement agencies who conduct business at
the County Jail.
Alton Schmall joined the Sheriff's Department 011
March 1, 1956, as a jailor in the old Annex. He also
served as a bailiff and as a patrolman. At the time
of his retirement he was a field deputy in the Civil
Division. For several years prior to his retirement,
Alton served all subpoenas directed to peace officers
both in our own department and other law enforce
ment agencies, thus he had a wide acquaintance
among local police officers. Although he was on
92
the quiet side, he was a loyal and efficient public
servant and will be missed by all of us.
Al ton was born on April 11, 1929 and has lived
all his life in Fresno County. He attended the Biola
Elementary School and graduated from the Central
Union High School. He became interested in law
enforcement while serving in the navy. After leaving
the navy, he served briefly with the Post Office De
partment before joining the Sheriff's Department.
Alton lives at 1432 E. Dakota with his wife Har
riet and three sons, David, Gary, and Don. Although
his career was cut short because of illness, AItOn
says he has no regrets about his years as a law
enforcement officer.

PAST AND PRESENT LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN COALINGA
As for human history, there is nothing to tell us
when man first wandered into the region. We find
evidence in the form of mortars, pestles, arrowheads,
beads, a few bones and skulls and various other arti
facts, but how early no one knows, nor is it probable
that they lived in the region permanently because of
the scarcity of water.
In 1874, the Americans began to settle in the
Coalinga area. Gustav Kreyehagen and his family
established the first StOre. Supplies at first were
hauled by wagon teams from as far away as Banta,
on the San Joaquin River near Stockton, then later
from Huron where the Southern Pacific Railroad
extended its line in 1877.
The oil industry which eventually brought the
town of Coalinga into existence had a small begin
ning as far back as 1865, when peddlers appeared
on the streets of Millerton, the county seat of Fresno
County, offering for sale crude oil In gallon cans.

Coalinga area took place in the Oil City field about
1890. This was located in the foothills a few miles
north and east of the present tOwn of Coalinga. In
the meantime, however, another industry had de
veloped when a coal mine was opened on the west
side of Pleasant Valley by an English firm, Robinson
ancl Rollins. In 1887 the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company extended its line to Alcalde in lower War
tham Canyon. A narrow gauge spur was built from
the mine and three loading sites known as Coaling
A Band C to the main railroad line.
Coalinga actually was never meant to be a town,
but when oil boomers began congregating at Coaling
Station A, the name soon became "Coalinga". The
first inhabitant on the site of the present town was
M. L. Curtis, who filed a homestead in 1882. With
the discovery of oil, Frederick Tibbits built a saloon
and Louise O'Neil built a store. It was in Tibbits'
saloon that Robbinson and Rollins lost the coal

mines in gambling, which was the reason for the
mines closing down.
By 1900, Coalinga was a settlement of about two
dozen frame buildings surrounded by tents and
shanties ; but when Frank Cleary drilled Confidence
No. 2 and discovered the West Side pool, the
boomers poured into town by the thousands and the
settlement erupted into a wild frontier boom town,
famous for Whiskey Row on Front Street, where
thirteen saloons did a boisterous business. People
with beer appetites indulged in champagne. The
faro table was never idle. The hum of the roulette
was incessant; twenty dollar pieces were stacked up
as the stakes. Money came easily and went quickly.
Coalinga waS the typical western mining camp but
instead of gold or silver, it was oil.
Population of towns and fields in 1907 was 2,400.
In 1910, it was estimated at about 10,000. In 1900
buildings numbered a score. In 1910 it was 1,000
with 600 in the month of July.
Although the people at first lived in shacks, be
cause they were too busy making money, they did
manage to build a small cement block jail house
which is located on Glenn and Fourth Streets. It was
built for the purpose of putting drunks in it and
when the drunk was deposited inside the jail then
it was a race for the door as to who stayed. Such
men as John Moffitt, Edward Arnold, Walt Hays
and Tom Peterson and others did what they could
to preserve peace and order. F. J. McCollum, former
owner of the Coalinga Record Newspaper stated,
when interviewed in his modest home in Coalinga,
that he arrived in Coalinga on February 22, 1906
and during that week at least three men were killed.
He can't remember, however, if at any time he locked
his doors for fear of burglary. McCollum also stated
that before he came to Coalinga, the judge was also
the postmaster and the train from Fresno came once
a week. Court, therefore, was held on the day the
train arrived. The judge would then handle the
case through the stamp window and if the prisoner
received jail time he would be sent back to Fresno
on the next train trip. If a business man had business
in Fresno he would let the constable take care of it
while he was in town awaiting the next trip back.

years and it appears that he has made many friends.
I don't remember if we passed anyone on the streets
or in the Elks building while we were having lunch
that did not greet him as a very dear friend'.
Jack Tarkington, in his 38 years of service, has
been a County traffic officer, Coalinga Deputy Mar
shal, Deputy Constable, Fire Chief, City Traffic
Patrolman, California Highway Patrolman and Con
stable of Coalinga from 1950 until his retirement on
January 3, 1961.
For years, Tarkington kept a full grown 200 pound
mountain puma who accompanied Jack on various
assIgnments.
Jack wielded a lot of authority without having to
put people in jail. We assum<: that his 200 pound
sid<: kick might have had some b<:aring on the author
ity bestowed upon Jack.
The city, after its incorporation in 1906, began
to move toward respectability and today is known as
one of the finest communities on the Westside with
its fine schools, hospital, museum (R. C. BAKER

tiful residences and public spirited citizens.

During the first few years, the department had no
radio by which 10 contact the officers in the field .
Recall lights were installed on the w ater tanks and
these were operated by telephone company operators.
In addition, they also had four call boxes and twO
horns for recall. Whenever the office wanted to con
tact an officer in the field, they would activate either
the horn or light Or both and the officer would then
go to the call box and call in and receive his instruc
tions. Today, the officer is in his modern well
equipped patrol car and can be contacted immedi
ately by radio.
The crime rate and police files will indicate the
magnificent job the police department is doing in
the suppression of crime and it is also indicative of
the harmonious cooperation with the other 'law en
forcement agencies, such as the Constable, California
State Highway Patrol, Fresno County Sheriffs Patrol
who are on hand to assist in any manner necessary
to make Coalinga a proud city to be in.

THE DEMISE
OF THE OLD
COURTHOUSE
On election day, April 13, 1965, the future of
Fresno Counry's 89 year old Courthouse was de
cided. This ended over three years of debate and
litigation over the fate of the old structure.
Two measures on the ballot involving the Court
house were overwhelmingly defeated as the voters
advised the Board of Supervisors of their decision.
The Charter Amendment designed to create a his
torical sites commission was defeated by a ratio of
33Y2 to 1, with 14,652 votes favoring and 48,384
votes against the measure. The bond issue for $2.2

million which would have paid for the restoration
of the old Courthouse, was defeated by a margin of
more than 10 to 1. The final count on the bond
issue was 56,858 no votes to 5,328 yes votes.
The overall tumour for the April 13th County
election was over 47 % of the registered voters. The
Fresno City turnout was 680/0. Less than 310/c of
those eligible to take part outside of the city voted.
Both of the measures on the ballot were defeated in
all of Fresno County's 410 precincts. There were a
few precincts that showed only slight margins be
tween those for and against the measures.
It seems that the voters felt that the old and new
structures were not compatible and the cost of re
habilitating the 89 year old structure was prohibitive.
But in another sense, the fate of the old Court
house was not decided on that election day. It was
decided on many days, in many ways during four or
live years before the election. What day? What
month? What Year? The following chronological
review of the controversy can only offer a hint. Each
person made up his or her mind at one of these times
-for one of these reasons:
CHRONOLOGICAL REVIEW
December 18, 1950: Board of Supervisors invited
bids for interior alterations (not covering mechani
cal, electrical, or structural deficiencies). Bids sub
mitted ranged from $697,000 to $802,500 were re
jected by Board due to excessively high cost.
1111)' 17,1951: A "pay as you go" policy for capital
building programs was established by the Board of
Supervisors with the creation of an Accumulative
Capital Outlay Fund. (As a result of the County's
adhering to irs "pay as you go" policies, rhe County
became free of debt on June 30, 1964.)
October, 1952: Board of Supervisors requested a
structural engineering survey. The sULVey, when
submitted, presented an analysis of Courthouse con
dition; included comment "as an earthquake-resident
structure, the Courthouse is not safe and would be
a poor risk in the event such would occur of any
medium nature."
1958: The County engaged the services of a manage
ment consultant firm (EBASCO) to evaluate the
long term capital expansion needs of County general
government.
lal/llm} 7, 1959: City of Fresno's Fire Marshal made
an unscheduled, unsolicited and complete inspection

Wagner and Partners, explained the custom ot the
roof-tree ceremony as follows:
'The events of this occasion had their origin in a
time before recorded history when man was envel
oped in a world of good and evil spirits. Whether
it was first the worship of the tree from which he
built his house, or for the appeasement of tree
spirits, is not known-we only know that the custOm
has been kept alive and has gone basically unchanged
for many centuries'.
'This custom has been to raise a tree to the highest
point of a building when the last roof timber was in
place. The people of Europe often replaced the tree
with a symbolic branch or a decorated wreath of
evergreen. The English added decorations from
FEBRUARY 1965-The framework;
begins to assume a definite person
ality with the addition of certain
trims and the concrete sunscreen on
the sides of the building.
their May Trees, or May Poles. This gave the gaily
colored ribbons bright flowers and colorful tokens
of their expected harvests. The Pilgrim Fathers
exercised the roof tree custOm in one form or another
and since then the men in the construction industry
have kept the custom alive during all periods of his
tory. Only the original meaning has been forgotten .
'Today, the ceremony has widespread recognition
particularly applied to high rise steel framed struc
tures. When the building is 'topped out', that is to
say when the last piece of steel is placed in the top
most position, an Evergreen tree is hoisted as a cele
bration of that achievement. So it is that we con
tinue this custom by raising a roof tree to the high
est point of the new Fresno County Courthouse.'

These Kids Are Worth Saving I
When parents fail, social institutions are forced to take over. Many
community projects to help youth are finding common ground:
• They are trying to bring the entire family and neighborhood into
the picture-not just the youth.
• A free-enterprise, employer-employee relationship is supplanting'
the old 'doctor-patient' tie between youth workers and delinquents.
• Neighborhood volunteers in crime-prone areas are pitching In.
Some of them are former delinquents.
• Demands for better evaluation of programs are getting louder.
Here is a look at some of the programs.
By L. DANA GATLIN
Staff Writer of The Christian Science Monitor
Chicago street worker Byron Brunson laid down
the challenge in two sentences.
"We can't abandon this generation of young
people juSt because some parents haven't learned to
be mothcTs and fathers . We gotta keep working
with these kids so that when they have families of
their o\'ln maybe they'll know what to do with
them."
Across the country more and more cities and
towns shadowed by crime are crystallizing a commit
ment to youth. In dozens of federal, state, and local
youth programs, communities are being roused,
goaded, or led to try new technigues-because, as
one observer noted: "These kids are worth saving."
It's all a giant challenge:
N ea rly half the population of the Ul11ted States
today is under 25 years of age. The Children's
BLU'eau estimates that one out of every nine children
will appear before a juvenile COurt judge before his
18th birthday if current trends continue. Between
1963 and 1965, juvenile court cases jumped 14 per
cent.
This is the backdrop for projeCts such as that of
the South Brooklyn Improvement Council financed
by the Office of Juvenile Delinguency in Washing
tOn.
For some eight months-until this March-South
Brooklyn's youth-leadership project looked this way:
With a federal grant paying part of the way,
Italian, Negro, and PuertO Rican teen-agers who
once spent their time knife fighting were having a
"cool"-in gang parlance, a truce.
Community projects
Inactive gang leaders were being paid to engage
in community projects. Sometimes they supervised
younger children at play. Sometimes they escorted
older citizens to a renovated movie house, where
periodic films on such tOpics as medicare were shown.
The youths rebuilt the theater themselves.
Several were attending a Spanish.language work
shop, where seven Puerto Rican youngsters-gang
members-were the instructors.
The youth leaders who were being paid were en
couraged to bring an ever-widening circle of young
sters into the project. More and more began to
participate
The 20 youths on government pay checks ($1.50
an hour) had to attend peer·group "interaction"
sessions every Friday afternoon if they wanted their
pay-a new twist in group therapy. Other neigh
borhood youngsters, including unconverted gang
leaders, often watched.
"We don't fight no more," laughed Big Joe S.,
solidly punching Sal's shoulder one Friday, Joe, an
acknowledged gang leader, was not on the payroll
but was spending more time around the center.
Sal took home a weekly check.
The center was a converted funeral parlor in
Brooklyn's Park Slope section.
Together with two neighboring subheadguarters,
the youth-leadership project involved some 85 teen
agers and 70 "junior buddies."
Current budget, as financed by the federal Office
of Juvenile Delinguency for a 14-month "demonstra
tion project" : $120,000.
Last February, a high-school dropout was asked
what he did before he taught 7-to-12-year-old "jun
ior buddies" arts and crafts.
"Gang busting," Frank M. grinned. He had been
living from one "rumble" to the next.
A few steps away in the basement of the Park
Slope "center" stood a pretty Negro girl, 17-year-old
Katie Blackman.

"They still fight," she nodded, watching a swing
ing seven-year-old do the Warusi, pigtails keeping
time to the beat.
"One guy got stabbed outside school Monday.
Two guys are in the hospital. This center has helped
(get rid of) the fighting though. It's better, bur we
still have it."
Last October, when a new outbreak of "rumbles"
threatened, project youths estimated they "cooled
about 40 percent of the kids who were going" by
talking them into staying home.
Problems come to a head
But problems that have been simmering came to
a head in March. The problems are not unique.
They are similar to those potentially facing all cur
rent efforts for new techniques with youngsters.
In March, narcotics addicts "became very active
in the area," according to project director Joseph
Maniscalco. Tension was high. A number of youth
ful, after-hour "invasions" of the Park Slope center
occurred.
The converted funeral parlor was closed, leaving
only the two subheadquarters in the Red Hook and
Gowanus neighborhoods. And the subdirector of one
of these just resigned to take another position.
Muffled community criticism broke into the open.
Some members of the South Brooklyn Improvement
Council charged mismanagement of the youth proj
ect, poor physical security of the Park Slope center,
shrinking of the size of the program, and insufficient
community representation on the council's committee
guiding the project.
Much of the problem, according to a spokesman
for · the Office of Juvenile Delinquency, involves "a
clash of personalities."
Says James S. McNeely, president of the South
Brooklyn Improvement Council:
"The three areas selected for the headquarters
were really representative of the three ethnic groups
involved." He would have preferred one single oper
ation, he adds where there would be more inter
change between previously hostile groups.
Mr. Maniscalco counters that in view of deeply
rooted hostilities in the area such a program would
have been unworkable.
There has been little community appreciation or
the scope of the challenge the program faces, he
indicated, sighing, "They want an answer in a
minute."
But the director said he welcomed community
interest, even in the form of resentment. "We are
133
helping people who previously expressed their Con
cern," he said.
Now, 12 more youths have been hired since the
"tension" subsided. Expanded summer camp and
study programs, plus prospects of a new headquar
ters, indicate a summer of busy activity.
Despite a poor self-image on the part of some
youngsters (last winter a youth told Mr. Manis
caIco, "You couldn't make less than $150 a week,
or you wouldn't stick with a bunch of slobs like us" ),
the $15,000-a-year director says he sees great prom
ise in the youth-leadership project:
A high-school girl in the project stopped taking
drugs and now is writing poems and articles on
their danger. Another girl who graduated from the
project and found a job as a secretary wrote back:
"Don't ever give up that work program."
Dance routine practiced
Other cities wrestle with the problem of youth in
need of help.
In Chicago, two weeks after a boy was shot and
killed by young ambushers, a Negro cab driver sat
in a massive traffic jam and sighed:
"They can put all the money they want to into
these new programs for kids. But if they don't reach
the daddy and the mammy, they're in trouble.
"You don't walk into a cage with a grown-up lion
and make him do tricks. You got to start when he's
young. These people don't want to work. Their
parents done give them no restrictions, no discipline:
no interest."
He said that welfare had been the ruin of his
people.
That evening in Chicago's gray and teeming West
Side, a group of Negro youths practiced a dance
routine for a coming citywide arts festival.
Downstairs, Danny Robinson, ex-professional
fighter, was introduced to a visitor as a neighbor
hood adult aide in Chicago's gang-battling STREETS
-short for Socialization, Training, Recreation, Edu
cation, and Employment Technical Services.
"Since last year, I got 60 kids to go back to schoo!'
All of 'em was dropouts, and not one of 'em has quit
yet," he said rather proudly.
Mr. Robinson spoke in the busy and noisy BBR
(for boys, brotherhood, and republic) Youth and
Training Center in Chicago's heavily Negro Lawn
dale section. Population density: 23,000 per square
mile. School dropout rate: about 50 percent.

era
youth aides have been hired to help "street-corner
kids" get into meaningful activity. The aides work
under supervision of professional street workers.
Sixteen-year-old Tom (not his real name) used to
be considered unmanageable almost everywhere he
went. Once he was found in the nature room at the
BBR stabbing a turtle. Another time he stood in the
middie of an empty room at the center and just
screamed at the top of his lungs.
A turn for better
But something remarkable happened recently. His
manner, appearance, and behavior took a noticeable
turn for the better. It happened soon after he began
to receive a regular pay envelope for a new coat
checking job made available at the center.
His mother told Doris Lomax, program director
that suddenly Tom no longer is completely unman
ageable.
Asked if programs like those of the BBR and
STREETS are starting to change the delinquency pic
ture, a district commander of Chicago police said:
"Only time will tell."
Comdr. George T. Simms frankly wonders wheth
er giving rewards to "those who are bad" takes away
incentives from "those who are good."
''I'll tell you this though," he added. "Certain
gangs that normally shoot at each other whenever
they meet actually have attended a party together.
The Vice Lords and the Roman Saints had a dance
last Saturday night! How long it wi!] last I'm afraid
to say."
He spoke against a background of youthful vio
lence in which the weapons have progressed from
knives to shotguns.
But the help-youth programs are spreading. Fed
eral grants are the spark behind most of them.
In Scottsdale, Ariz., some 40 Pima Indian youths
have been sent to a tribal "group residence" during
the past year. Some of them come from troubled
homes. A few from the county courts.
In San Francisco, gang leaders are being paid to
become subprofessional youth workers who work
with street gangs toward constructive ends.
School dropouts have worked as teacher helpers
in six New York schools in part of that city's massive
Mobilization for Youth Project.
Programs ex,panaed
In Philadelphia, a special psychiatric clinic sees
sexually delinquent girls and, most important, their
families. The idea may be tried in New York with
underprivileged Negro girls.
A Denver project is comparing treatment of juve
nile glue sniffers:
Regular probation officers see one group in a court
setting. Another group is counseled by supervised,
non-profressional neighborhood workers in a street
setting.
Better understanding between police and com
munity has become the subject of two major univer
sity-conducted studies subsidized by federal grants.
The New York City Police Youth Investigation
Unit referred some 8,000 youths to social agencies
last year. (There were 30,000 arrests of 16-to 21
year-olds.) Narcotics education programs have been
expanded to include councils of neighborhood resi
dents at the precinct level. Four community-relations
institutes are planned this year.
And 1,000 deprived New York youths-mostly
dropouts -face an unprecedented opportunity to
pursue police careers. The new recruitment plan was
announced by New York's Mayor John V. Lindsay.

At the same time, New York Police units have
been reorganized to more effectively patrol areas
where youngsters are active.
In the training field federally subsidized seminars
for professional youth workers are being held fre
quently from Boston to Honolulu.
But not all community-oriented delinquency pre
vention programs are federally subsidized.
Arlington, Mass. (population 50,000) became one
of the first Massachusetts towns to form its own
Dep.mment of Youth Service, with three full-time
professional case workers. With half the $29,000
budget paid by the state, the agency costs each Ar
lington homeowner about 15 cents on the property
laX rate.
Massive obstacles faced
But all programs-federal or local-face massive
obstacles.
Dr. Howard E. Freeman, director of research at
the Florence Heller Graduate School for Advanced
Studies in ~ocial Welfare at Brandeis University,
told a recent civic meeting on crime that it would
take two generations, not to cure delinquency, but
just to find its causes.
Like most other social scientists, he pleads for
more research, with evaluation built in.
Milton Rector, director of the National Council
on Crime and Delinquency, says the biggest chal
lenge is "trained manpower-people" to meet the
increased needs.
Mr. RectOr says the most critical trained-man
power shortages today are 10 the rural areas away
137
from the large urban centers and univerSities.
The influence of federal programs and money can
be seen at almost every level of delinquency pre
vention.
The federal Office of Juvenile Delinquency, with
a budget of $6.5 million this fiscal year, is committed
in part to finding out what changes in society's insti
tutions might be necessary to get at the root causes
of crime.
Federal officials admit they face tough problems.
"Unless you change the system, you certainly are
going to make delinquents," says Bernard Russell,
director of the Office of Juvenile Delinquency.
For example, he speaks critically of school policies
which exile assaultive children to "social-adjustment
schools." Too often, he says, these schools breed
dropours and delinquency.
At the same time, he says, the federal government
could make better use of available state services than
it has thus far.
Indeed, frequent lack of adequate evaluation of
projects, lack of interoffice coordination in Washing
ton, relatively little attention paid to rural crime
until recently, "antagonisms" of philosophy between
some of those involved in prevention and treatment
-all these are obstacles to effective anticrime action.
Other obstacles are less technical, more SOCIO
logical.
"Conflicts between generations now are often
called delinquency. What does a very mobile society
have to learn to put up with?" asks Dr. David C.
TW2.in, director of the National Institute of Mental
Health.
This institute will spend between $9 million and
$10 million this year on delinquency-research proj
ects, many of them in a community setting. Much
of the thrust is in identifying types of individuals
who commit antisocial acts. Delinquency is a very
broad term, experts caution, and there is no one
treatment for it.
Dr. William C. Kvaraceus, an internationally rec
ognized youth authority and director of youth studies
at the Tufts University Lincoln Filene Center, cur
rently is conducting studies in five New England
towns on tolerance to deviant behavior.
"How many centimeters does long hair have to be
before you feel negative about it?" he asks young
sters, .parents, and teachers. The answer of a 15
year-old is not likely to be the same as that of a
40-year-old; he notes.

Studies of an antiriot project at Hampton Beach,
N.H., last summer indicate the gap between behavior
considered acceptable by police is much greater than
the gap between the standards of the youth and older
people on the beach, said Dr. Kvaraceus.
"The frustration tOlerance of the police was nil.
The irritability level was low," he added.
Volunteer efforts have had noteworthy success in
helping to bridge these "gaps."
Eight years ago, a retired investment counselor
founded a "model community" for youth in a middle
class neighborhood in St. Paul, Minn.
Kenneth Hunt Bayliss discovered an unused plot
of city land a tenth of a mile long "with weeds
higher than your waist. "
I n eight years, neighborhood youngsters them
selves have constructed three tennis, two badminton,
twO basketball, tWO volleyball, and two horseshoe
courts, plus a nine-hole miniature golf course and a
building.
Appeal for teamwork
Now president of the National Council for Youth
Mr. Bayliss urges youth-concerned communities and
retired executives ro join hands in building their own
model communities. The best part about them is
that it takes eight years of hard work by "America's
eager beavers" to build one, he adds.
The Indianapolis News (Women's) Anticrime
crusade claims to have returned some 1,000 dropouts
to school over three years of woman-to-youth coun
seling. The crusade has received a number of na
tional awards.
All-day schools and industry-operated nurseries
staffed by men as well as women-are other ideas
that have been suggested.
Sociologist Howard E. Freeman lists three big
supports a community can give crime prevention:
Support law enforcement. SuppOrt long-range
programs in prevention and treatment. Demand
scientific evaluation of programs to determine where
resources are best spent.
So again, the rouchstone for effective crime pre
vention is intelligent involvement by the layman.
In many communities youth workers are playing a
key role in getting youngsters off the streets and
into constructive group programs. The barriers these
men must scale are traditional hostility between
ethnic groups, entrenched gang structures, and a
poor self-image on the part of the youths. But vari
ous programs are making a dent. Which ones will
make the biggest dent only time can tell.

• A gay June outing became a day of horror for the
surviving members of the families involved in the
sinking of a boat in Pine Flat Lake this year. The
sinking took the life of Mrs. Bernice Martin of Fres
no. Others were saved only because the boat sank
near the shore.
The loss was all the more tragic in that it should
not have happened, and might well not have hap
pened if the basic rules of boating safety had been
observed.
Investigators at the scene found that a 10 foot
flat-bottom fishing boat, capable of carrying twO
persons safely, had been overloaded with nine per
sons at the time of the sinking. It was unregistered
and had no Coast Guard approved life preservers
aboard.
Because of the increased use of our lakes and rivers
by summer boating and fishing enthusiasts the great
est possible caution should always be exercised. The
following rules for boating safety have been com
piled for this magazine, and the deputies who see
the tragic results of failure to com ply with them
urge their observance by all who wish to keep their
family boating excursions safe and enjoyable.
FRESNO COUNTY BOATING SAFETY
All boats must be registered and numbered
in accordance with the provisions of the Califor
nia law, except boats propelled solely by oars
or paddles, boats 8 feet or less in length pro
pelled solely by sail, and those registered in
other states using California waters for 90 days
or less.
To register a vessel, the owner must make
application to the California Division of Small
Craft Harbors or to one of its authorized regis
tration agents on forms furnished by the divi
sion.
In 1965 there were 357,000 California small
craft registered with the Division. An increase of
33,000 over 1964.
There were 436 California pleasure boat ac
cidents in 1965, resulting in 105 killed and 128
injured. The major causes for these accidents
were capsizing of the boat, explosion and fire,
collisions and skiing. In order to prevent some

of these tragedies, the following suggestions are
listed:

California Highway Parrol officers in rhe Bay
Area recenrly recovered six stolen vehicles in jusr
one eighr-hour shifr. Two of the vehicles had been
stolen only 24 hours previously in the Srare of Wash
ington. In every insrance, when rhe officer asked
for a license check of the suspecr vehicle, he was
informed in less rhan one minute thar rhe car was
wanred.
In San Bernardino County, a depury sheriff ob
served a suspicious vehicle, and asked for a license
check. Within 15 seconds he knew rhe vehicle had
several felony srops againsr ir. Arrest of the suspecr
cleared up a series of cabin burglaries.
In rhe City of San Jose, a police caprain spotred
a suspicious vehicle, ran a rourine check, and seconds
later knew the car had been srolen in Los Angeles.
Arresr of rhe occupants cleared up a number of orher
vehicle thefrs in southern California.
Each of these incidenrs was a seemingly rourine
mauer, but rhe information which made ir possible
ro arresr these suspects in each case came rhrough
a system which is unique in law enforcemenr.

It is designated AUTO-STATIS, which means
AUTOmatic Statewide Au(O Theft lnguiry System,
and it pues at the disposal of the officer on the beat
virtually immediate information on the status of any
vehicle he desires co check.
AUTO-STATIS is an au(Omatic data processing
system which allows the centralized storage of infor
mation on vehicles scolen or wanted anywhere in
California-and, to an increasing extent, anywhere
in Nevada, Arizona, Washington and Oregon as
well, plus thefts handled by the National Auto
Theft Bureau's Pacific Coast, Western and Texas
Divisions.
More imporcant, the system permits the immediate
retrieval of this information by any agency directly
connected to the master computer memory.
California Highway Patrol Headguarters in Sacra
mento is focal point of AUTO-STA TIS. Here is
located the computer unit, in whose whirling mem
ory discs is recorded every vehicle theft, every wanted
vehicle, and every stolen license plate, as well as
stolen, identifiable vehicle partS, repossessed vehicles
and impounded vehicles.
At the other end, in the major California police
departments, sheriff's departments and Highway

Patrol offices, are terminal units similar to teletypes.
\'X'ith these, local agencies can both record theErs
and obtain information.
It works like this : A citizen reports a vehicle theft
to a local police agency. The agency prepares a
punched tape recording all pertinent data, and places
the tape in its terminal. The information is trans
mitted to Sacramento and automatically recorded
by the computer.
On the road, the officer who desires (0 check a
vehicle simply radios the license number to his dis
patcher. The dispatcher or a clerk enters the number
on the terminal, the computer searches its memory,
and information is received back almost instantane
ously whether the vehicle is clear, or wanted as a
stolen or for some other reason. This information
is then radioed back to the officer-usually in less
than one minute.
In many counties, terminals are shared through
cooperative arrangements which make the system
available to a maximum number of agencies.
Police agencies without terminals file theft reports
to Patrol Headguarters by teletype. Unless other
arrangements have been made within their counties,
these agencies usually can make inguiries by calling

or radioing other terminal-equipped agencies, or by
calling certain Patrol officers and asking for a check.
The success of AUTO-STATIS is based upon its
ability co place time on the side of the officer. Previ
ously, California auto theft information was dis
tributed once a day in an all-points bulletin prepared
by the Patrol and sent OUt via teletype.
This meant that a thief had up to 24 hours head
start on law enforcement, particularly if he left the
jurisdiction in which the theft had been committed.
The thief no longer has this advantage. As soon
as a theft is reported and recorded in the AUTO
STATIS computer, information on that vehicle is
available throughout California.
Currently, 146 terminals are on-line to the com
puter, and more are being added periodically. The
146 terminals serve some 200 law enforcement
agenCIes.
Approximately 25,000 stolen vehicles presently
ate in the master file, plus 23,000 lost or stOlen
license plates, nearly 2,800 vehicles wanted in con
neCtion with felonies, 2,300 impounded vehicles,
1,300 repossessed vehicles, and 2,100 vehicles en
tered by N ATB offices outside of the Pacific region.
Approximately 1,000 file changes are made daily;
that is stolen vehicles arc added, recoveries are
logged, and impounds and repossessions added or
deleted.
In addition, about 8,000 inquiries per day arc
being handled by the computer. An inquiry is a
vehicle-check, usually instimted by the officer in
the ficld.
The system is presently operating at 60 to 80
per cent capacity, but even a substantial increase
in activity would not overload AUTO-STATIS since
additional memory discs can easily be added .
The system is providing other services as well.
Every day, 1,000 vehicles awaiting dismantling are
checked against AUTO-STATIS files to determine
if any of the vehicles are stolen.
The machine also produces the necessary infor
mation co provide a daily teletyped all-points bulle
tin to California enforcement agencies listing StOlen
and wanted vehicles.
The machine's prodigious memory maintains an
up-co-the-minute hot sheet-a listing of stolen ve
hicles by license number only-which is transmitted

to the Los Angeles Police Department every eight
hours for further dissemination in southern Cali
fornia via teletype. A similar hot sheet for northern
California soon will be made available over the
Department of Justice teletype network.
Also programmed into the system is the ability
to record the condition of recovered vehicles-the
first time that information of this sort has been
accumulated by law enforcement.
Perhaps, though, the real secret of AUTO-STATIS
is the level of cooperative effort which it represents.
Although the Highway Patrol served as the clearing
house for ideas, every agency which originally joined
the system was instrumental in making it both work
able and useful.
AUTO-STATIS won't catch thieves or recover
stolen vehicles-that is the officer's job. But it will
make the officer's work considerably easier, and that
should be good news for the public, particularly in
view of the fact that auto theft is California's cost
liest property crime.

FOR CHILD SAFETY
Each year any community such as Fresno and
Fresno County is plagued with numerous reports of
child molestations and attempts to molest children.
Most contacts by persons with perverted twisted
minds who commit this type of crimes is with chil
dren engaged in normal play activities in the play
grounds or along the streets of our residential areas.
The case of an innocent child who has fa llen vic
tim to one of these molesters is one of the most
heartbreaking incidents an officer is called upon to
handle. It is seldom possible at the time to com
pl etely assess the physical and emotional harm
which is done to a child subjected to an experience
of this type.
Because it does occur, and occurs daily on our
streets the Sheriff periodically brings the problem
and the defenses against molesters to the attention
of children and their parents through the use of
posters, letters or pamphlets distributed 111 our
schools .
This year the sheriff has again prepared a letter
for parents reminding them of the rules they should
impress upon their children about what to do when
approached by strangers. He accompanied it with
posters prepared by the F. B.I. Both the letter and
poster are reproduced in this issue.
Lettef to aleft parents to dangen of and
defemes agaimt child molesters.
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM YOUR lAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
TO: THE PARENTS, CITIZENS AND CHILDREN OF O UR COMMUNITY
The attached poster is furnished by the F.B.I., in cooperation with the Fresno County
SheriH's Deportment, to remind parents and children of some of the rules for the prolection
of our children against molesters.
Distribution is being made through the Sequoia Council of Boy Scouts of America by
the Scouts in our community.
To the parents: This poster is designed to create on interest for the child. W e suggest
that your child color it and you explain the lesson that it contains. We would further
remind you of some of the important facts to teach your children.
1. Insist that they report any incident such as this poster portrays immediately.
2. Teach your children that the low enforcement officer is their friend and to go to
him for help anytime they are in trouble. Ask older children to help protect younger
children.
Caution your children that they must never trust a stronger, especially while at ploy
or while going to and from school, playground or on errands.
3. Know where your children are at all times.
To the children:
1. Never accept an ything from a person you do not know.
2. Never get into a cor with any stranger or go any place with him.
3. Always report any stronger who bothers you to your parents, teacher, low enforce
ment officer or any adult that you know.
4. Always Iry to remember what the stronger looks like and how he is dressed.
5. Always get the license number of his car. Write il on a paper or on the sidewalk
or scratch it in the dirt with a stick.
6. If you see a playmate get into a strangers cor, copy the license number and notify
your parent, leacher or low enforcement officer 01 once.
We heartily solicit your cooperation in this program for the protection of our children.
Very Iruly yours,
Melvin A. Willmirth
Sheriff-Coroner
NOTE: If there are no children in your home, please attempt to pass this on to a family
with children.

POLICE REVIEW BOARDS
By HAROLD MCKINNEY
Many California communities have felt the pres
sure of citizen groups demanding the formation of
civilian review boards to investigate the actions of
law enforcement officers when accusations of "police
brutality" are voiced. Such quasi-legal bodies are
staffed by members of the citizenry, appointed by
the legislative representatives of the city or county
government, and enjoy official status within that par
ticular political subdivision. When persons who run
afoul of the law cry "police brutality," the board
members convene and evaluate the allegation. Evi
dence and testimony, presented without the strict
qualitative requirements of regularly constituted
courts, is examined and a decision rendered as to
the guilt or innocence of the officer involved. A de
cision adverse to the officer can result in his removal
from employment, regardless of the findings of offi
cial judicial proceedings. To a lesser degree, the
officer may be suspended from his position without
salary for a specific period of time. Such punitive
measures are in addition to whatever other jeopardy
the officer is placed in under applicable statutes and
departmental proceedings.
Advocates argue that "police brutality" does exist
and the only way the people can protect themselves
is through the establishment of a civilian police re
view board, empowered to take positive action
against the officer in all cases deemed valid by that
bo·ard. Overlooked entirely is the fact that the public
has recourse against abusive police aCtions or police
invasion of civil rights in a number of judicial and
administrative ways.
The F.B.I. is required, under Title 18 of the
United States Codes, to investigate accusations

of wrongful aCts or misuse of authority by public
officers acting under color of law, when such acts
infringe upon the rights guaranteed in the Con
stitution. Violations include the illegal restraint
of the person; forced confessions; beating or
otherwise intimidating a prisoner ; using ques
tionable interrogation tactics; and interfering
with the free exercise of speech, press, religion
and assembly.
The county grand jury may hear arid investi
gate charges of brutality or abusive activities on
the part of the police agencies, and return indict
ments.
The district attorney is authorized to take
action in criminal courts against officers who
have violated the law.
The head of the police agency involved is
certainly competent to hear the accusation and
initiate appropriate proceedings against mem
bers of his organization guilty of abusing the
power they possess by virtue of law.
Unfortunately, "police brutality" does occur, but
the number of incidents are few and far between.
The public has far more protection against this type
of behavior than are provided against burglary, rob
bery, rape and murder. Valid charges of injustice
involving law enforcement officers have been dealt
with swiftly and severely, resulting in punishment
ranging from dismissal and imprisonment to financial
judgements against the officers responsible. In re
cent years, the term "police brutality" has assumed
a more distorted meaning than the "use of excessive
or illegal force" by a law enforcement officer. Some

would include obscene language or derogatory terms
directed by an officer tOward minority groups. Thus,
what would normally be considered discourtesy
when indulged in by others becomes "police bru
tality" when voiced by an officer. Vulgar terms or
insulting language used by a law enforcement officer
in the performance of his duty is to be deplored, and
is a reflection on his personal character and of the
department he represents. However, by no stretch
of the imagination can such conduct be construed
as "police brutality" or an abuse of official authority.
The term has become a facade by individuals and
groups seeking to curtail the necessary power of the
police to render them ineffective in coping with
illegal behavior, or to utilize that power in achiev
ing their own ends. Such persons would sacrifice
the police on the altar of expediency despite the
inevitable result: anarchy.
Many groups feel a deep sense of frustration and
antagonism toward law enforcelllent'S apparent lack
of suppOrt in the fight for social and economic egual
ity. Such emotional patterns could be reflected in the
findings of a review board, when examining the
alleged actions of an officer in the performance of
his sworn duty. Ignored is the fact that the police
have no authority to correct social injustice, nor
should that power be extended to them. Duly con
stituted courts and the American system of justice
is the foundation of democracy: to place the awe
some power of judicial j1udgement in the hands of
law enforcement assures establishment of the police
state all free peoples abhor.
No group detests illegal or brutal police activities
more than the police themselves. Most brutal or
sadistic officers are eliminated during recruiting pro
cedures or as a result of performance evaluation
after employment. By far the greatest force behind
increased standards of law enforcement have been
the police agencies, despite the protests of special
interest groups. The fierce desire for self improve
ment could only falter under the control of an extra
judicial civilian police review board of political ap
pointees, no more gualified to understand the prob
lems or judge the actions of the police than they
would be to pronounce judgment on the action of
doctOrs, lawyers or judges.
The civilian police review board dates back to
1930 and is an invention of the Communist Party
of the United States to aid them in their efforts to
undermine the effectiveness of the police by taking
control from elected officials and placing it in the

hands of a civilian group which the communists
could infiltrate and control. Dr. Bella Dodd, former
member of the Communist Party who defected in
1948, stated:
"That by this means they intended to mete
Out harsh and arbitrary punishment against the
police until they were intimidated into a be
numbed, impotent and non-functioning agency."
The origin of such boards has since become hazy
and the citizenry, including politicians, have taken
varying stands both for and against. The city of
Rochester, New York, established a police advisory
board whose authority extended to investigating and
making recommendations on complaints of "police
brutality." The New York Supreme Court recently
stripped them of virtually all their power, ru~ing
that the board's authority was illegaL that the only
right possessed by them was to listen to complaints
and then pass them on, without 'comment, to the
chief of police. In a ten page majority decision,
}LlStice Jacob Ark wrote:
"The functions of the board have become in
tertwined with the operation of the police de
partment. As the board seeks to do the things
that can only be done by the police commis
sioner, and because the board has an official
Status with the city, the police officer's rights
were violated by the board."
Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation stated in January, 1965:
"The average law enforcement officer today is
already saddled with greater responsibilities
than he can fully comprehend and capably dis
• charge. Society demands of the officer total com
pliance with the mandates of the law: however,
it has yet to give him a clear Cut picture of what
the law demands and what it forbids. Even
those learned in the law cannot agree with cer
tainty what powers the police officer possesses.
Many times his actions are adjudged wrong by
the thinnest of margins in split decisions by the
highest courts. He should not be subjected to
ridicule and penalized in salary, promotion and
personal career based on decisions reached by
outside overseers to whom professional law en
forcement and public protection may be of sec
ondary interest. Experience has shown that high
selection standards, outstanding training, real
istic pay scales and advancement based on merit
are fundamental principles of good police serv

To require an officer to defend the actions taken
by him in the performance of his duty is proper and
usually becomes a topic during cross examination in
a lawfully convened court. His actions likewise come
under scrutiny by the head of his department and
his fellow officers. To demand of the officer that his
actions be questioned by a politically constituted
examining board of inquiry, based on the word of
an individual resentful of the officer and the law he
represents, edges fearfully close to violating the con
stitutional provision against double jeopardy, and
can shatter the morale and effectiveness of com
munity law enforcement.
The law enforcement officer is not a second class
citizen and he should not be denied due process of
law when answering to charges against his integrity
and character.

The first new communication system in 25 years
was placed in operation in April of 1966 at the Fres
no County Sheriff's Office,
The new unit is equipped with a tape recorder
connected to the radio which will eliminate 90 per
cent of the hand written log entries made by the
radio operatOr. This work eliminator records all in
and out going calls between the office and the cars
in the field.
Instead of listing all the movements of the cars
on a log, the tape recorder does the work of keeping
tabs on the vehicles. The recorder is automatically
activated at the beginning of each conversation and
stops when it is finished.
The new radio console has twO control panels,
one to be used in case of emerg~ncy to coordinate
law enforcement work between other agencies. The
unit is capable of contacting any police or sheriff's
department in the state by simply dialing in on that
agency's channel. On this intercity system the Fresno
County Sheriff's Office can dial other counties direct
-~---.
in case of emergency or when important information
is needed.
Each vehicle in the field is represented on the
console with a panel of switches and lights. When
the light is green, the car is available; amber, it is
on call; and red. it is Out of service and not available
for a call.
The all transistor radio is located in a glass en
closed office. A deputy from the parrol division
handles the actual contact with the public by tele
phone or in person. He turns his information over to
the radio operatOr working beside him who relays
the information to the cars in the field for appropri
ate action. This can all happen in a matter of seconds
from the receipt of the first bit of information by
the Sheriff's office and a deputy can be on his way
to respond to a call for help.
The new radio equipment is of the latest design
and gives much clearer transmission with less static
between all units.

A penal institution is not, as imagined by many, a
place where inmates are confined to their cells with
meals and sleep affording the only interruption to
an otherwise inactive life. They are expected to per
form the duties necessary to maintain sanitary and
orderly quarters, and in addition, various recreation
projects are provided.
Last year a useful project was initiated for those
who wished to participate. Material was provided by
the inmates trust fund for the purpose of making
clown dolls. This project was started in February of
1965 and by December of the same year approxi
mately one hundred and eight-five dolls were com
pleted.
The recreation room is equipped with a modern
sewing machine, which enabled the inmates to cum
out finely finished clowns. Anire was made for the
clowns and each one had a different and colorful
coscume.
At Christmas time the clowns were donated to
the children at the Nutritional Home. In addition
to bringing a measure of delight and pleasure to a
number of children, this project also provided numer
ous inmates with a worthwhile expenditure of their
time while being confined.
