The dates in the above simple epitaph mark the beginning and end of the life of a wonder- ful person. How do you write a memoriam for a friend with whom you have worked close- ly for a number of years? The chronological facts of his life come easy. He was born in Los Angeles, and grew up in that area, attend- ing school at Temple City and Pasadena. He served in the United States Army during World War 11, and was honorably discharged after extensive combat duty in the Pacific theater. He began his Fresno County employment in July of 1950, and during the following eleven years saw service in the jail, patrol, andde- tective divisions. In the years immediately prior to his death, he was assigned to the Robbery Detail of the Detective Division, where he achieved an enviable reputation and statewide recognition as an efficient, imagi- native, and thorough investigator. As we have said, these facts are easy to relate. But how do you put into words the warmth, the friendliness, the humor, or the impish grin, all of which were Wesley R. Smith. "Wes ", or "Smitty ", made more friends by accident than most people make on purpose. He was blessed with a bump of curiosity larger than the Matterhorn, an asset which made him the fine investigator he was. He was again blessed with compas- sion and a deep concern for the welfare of his fellow man. He was never too busy to extend a friendly greeting to a new employee of the department; to give a word of encouragement to a fellow worker with a problem; or to lend advice and help to a citizen in need. As great as is our sorrow over his pass- ing, it is surely surpassed by that of those who survive him. Thus to his widow, his children, and the members of his family, goes our sincere sympathy. l MELVIN A.

Included are such contrasts as hate and fear on the part of the criminal element; hereo worship by small boys; and the assumption, unfortunately untrue, by many ill- informed citizens that officers have both the ability and authority to perform miracles. Many teen -agers are certain that the officer's only purpose in life is to spoil their fun. A few motorists appar- ently believe his chief function is to make driving an outdoor sport, with the object of the game being to see how carelessly one can drive without provoking an officer into issuing a citation. Even among law- abiding citizens whom officers have occasion to contact, they sometimes encounter misunderstanding and suspicion, ranging from a reluctance on the part of witnesses to become involved in anything related to police activity to open, unprovoked hostility, ob- viously fostered by the thought, "You cops are always out to get somebody." For instance, officers are frequently criticized by bystanders if two or three have occasion to arrest a single unruly drunk. The feeling seems to be that such odds are unsporting, es- pecially since the officers are armed. The critics fail to realize that the arrest is not a game; the chief concern of the officers is in making the arrest with safety. For the drunk's sake as well as their own, they outnumber him so the arrest can be effected without resorting to force. The same type of faulty reasoning often makes a motorist complain, when given a citation by a traffic officer he failed to see before committing the violation, that the officer did not play fair, but sneaked up on him without warning. He forgets that his violation would still have been a violation even if there had been no officer present; that traffic laws are made to promote WALTER RAU INSURANCE CONSULTANT Agent - Broker All Lines Administrator of Your Group Life Plan 1,450 Wilson AD 7 -7547 MODERN CARPETS CARPETS & RUGS 2443 E.

This unfortunate attitude is due partially to our famous American spirit of indepen- dence. Although several generations removed from the Revolution, most of us have in- herited enough rebel spirit to make us some- what suspicious of any type of authority. Such a spirit is a good thing, generally, because it is one of the most effective safe- guards of our freedom, however, when mis- directed and exaggerated it becomes a great hindrance to the cause of law and order. A second and very important factor is the widespread derogatory publicity the law en- forcement profession has received in the recent past. While in each specific instance such publicity was probably justified, it un- fortunately brought discredit to every peace officer and police agency in the nation. A glaring example was the police scandal sev- eral months ago in a large midwestern city. Corruption was so widespread in the depart- ment that a famous comedian was inspired to offer a not -so -funny gag concerning it on his network television show.

Closer to home, the police department of a major city in a neighboring state was shaken from top to bottom by the discoverythat sev- eral of its members were involved in the operation of a well- organized burglary ring. According to newspaper accounts, patrolmen had been burglarizing business places on their beats while on duty, and detectives were sometimes assigned to investigate burglaries they themselves had committed. From various other sections of the country there have been reports of police incompeten- cy, dishonesty, and neglect of duty, including deprivation of constitutional rights, and fail- ure to protect minority groups. It is not denied that such things happen, and We intend no criticism of the press and other news services for making such incidents known. They would be failing in their duty to inform the people if they did otherwise. The unfortunate aspect is that the honest, dedicated, and able officer, and the efficient, well- organized department seldom make headlines. The nature of their job is such J. K.

Radio and television have added their bit to the confused public image of the peace officer. In so- called police dramas, allegedly based on actual cases from police files, the duties, attitudes and abilities of the officer are usually either distorted, exaggerated, or absolutely false. In all but one or two shows which are reasonably accurate in their por- trayal, the officer is shown as either a trigger -happy mastermind who shoots some- one each time he makes a case, or as a bumbling nitwit who never makes a case ex- cept with the help of a trigger -happy private detective. It would be quite interesting to read some of the actual cases on which such dramas are supposedly based. As in the case of the news services, no criticism is intended of the television and radio industry for presenting these shows. However, we hope the members of the audi- ence understand that while police and crime dramas might be entertainment, they are not necessarily truth.

Last summer it ran a series of articles dealing with errors in the administration of justice in the United States. The gist of the series was that, even with all the elaborate provisions for individ- ual liberty and protection or rights that are written into the Constitution, an innocent person can be, and sometimes is, convicted of a crime. In the several examples cited some of the chief reasons given for such tragic mistakes were incompetency, neglect, and even illegal procedure and actual bru- tality on the part of law enforcement officers and agencies. Again it is admitted that such things happen, and we realize there was no intent on the part of either the magazine or the author to discredit the law enforcement profession as a whole. Careful study of the articles reveals that they were published in order to focus public attention upon faults and inequities in our whole system of justice, the courts and legislature included. However, they were written in such a manner that the incidents involving errors by the police appeared to be Cigarette Service Co.

The casual reader could easily have received the impression that such inci- dents are the rule rather than the exception. Since, as has been noted, there is little favorable publicity to counteract all that is unfavorable, it would not be surprising if the man on the street thinks that practically every peace officer takes bribes, deals in stolen property, frames innocent people, shoots on the slightest provocation, and is cruel to old ladies, small children, and dogs. Seriously, we doubt if even the most confirmed "cop- hater" thinks the average officer is quite that bad; however, we do believe there is room for improvement in the popular public conception of the police profession. It is hoped that this issue of the Review will contribute something toward that goal. It will include several articles designed speci- fically to help the reader become better ac- quainted with his neighbor who happens to be a peace officer instead of a salesman, plumber, or a teacher. Our theory is that in most respects the officer is no different from the members of any other legitimate profession. If there is a difference, it is that the good officer is possibly a little more dedi- ALWAYS THE QUALITY SELECTION OF CLOTHING AT COFFEE'S • Hickey Freeman • Louis Roth • Hart Schaffner & Marx • Joshua Trent FRESNO & BAKERSFIELD No Whiskey Anywhere is More Deluxe Than WALKER'S DELUXE 8 Years Old 86 Proof Distributed By MADERA DISTRIBUTING CO.

He is an officer primarily because he likes the work and feels that he is making a worthwhile con- tribution to society. If he felt otherwise he would apply his talent and ability in a field which would provide greater material bene- fits. In other words, the peace officer is, no more and no less, a human being. He has the same troubles, hopes, ambitions, and weak- nesses as any other mortal. He does his best to live a decent, enjoyable life, pay his bills, and provide for his family. He hopes his fellow citizens will accord him the respect he deserves as an individual, and that they will look upon his profession as an honorable one, necessary for the protection of life and property and the preservation of individual freedom, and one that, despite its occasional errors and deficiencies, is dedicated to that end.

After Dalton served a fif- teen year prison term he settled in Los Angeles and became a successful and respected business man, and was a frequent visitor to the Pierson Wonder Valley Dude Ranch. The original picture belongs to George Weston Pierson of Fresno, pioneer cattleman and for- mer owner of the ranch, who gave Wonder Valley its name. ABOUT THE AUTHOR This year's guest writer is a well -known San Joa- quin Valley writer, author of several books and magazine articles. He obtained most of the informa- tion for his article directly from the person it concerns. We trust that his nostalgic contribution will invoke many pleasant memories of a less so- phisticated era when novice "good guys" were good simply because they wanted to be, "bad guys" were just plain mean and not neurotic, and it was not difficult to tell the one from the other. The Editor by Honorary Deputy Arthur J. K. DePew The entertainment industry has often been guilty of presenting an exaggerated and dis- torted picture of the law enforcement profes- sion; especially in recent years since the advent of television. In this day of the western actor who can't ride a horse, but has to de- pend upon trick photography and a stunt man to create the illusion; and of the story accent- ing psychopathic violence; it is refreshing to note that there have been a few actors who actually lived the type of life they portrayed on the screen. Such a man was my friend, Tom Mix, who for many years was a working peace officer. Most of us remember Tom Mix as the favor- ite screen cowboy of the thirties, along with his horse, Tony. However, few really know the true history of this honored star, who was also a circus owner, veteran of the Spanish - American War, and in his early life had been at various times a Texas Ranger, a sheriff in Colorado and Oklahoma, and a U.S.Marshal in Montana, New Mexico, and Arizona. We remember him for his unexcelled riding when in 1918 he became a Fox star, appearing in such pictures as "Trailin "', "The Rough Diamond ", "For Big Stakes ", "Chasing the Moon ", and "Tom Mix in Arabia "'; and for his big hits of the early twenties, some of which were "The Lone Star Ranger" in 1923, "Eyes of the Forest" in 1924, "Riders of the Purple Sage" in 1925, and "No Man's Gold" in 1926. Not so well known are the following bits of information concerning his career. During the filming of "Big Town Roundup ", he had five narrow excapes from death, and in "Speed Mania" he flirted with fate so frequently that he became known as a screen dare -devil and a fearless stunt man. He wrote many of the pictures he starred in. He directed the thrill- ing chariot races for "The Queen of Sheba ", starring Theda Barra, who will be remem- bered as the tight- dressed siren of that era. He suffered many broken bones, including a leg, several ribs, and the bones of both hands, in the many thrilling adventures in which he appeared. Yet he always came back for more, and each succeeding picture seemed to pro- vide some stunt surpassing its predecessor in daring. The accidents he took in stride, with no complaining, nor did he allow any publicity accorded them. He tried to make his work realistic. In 1925 Tom went to Europe, taking his famous horse, Tony. Few American theatri- cal stars ever received the reception accord- ed him on this trip. After his return to Holly- wood he appeared in a number of super -west- erns, and at the conclusion of his Fox contract he made several silent films for R.K.O. Then followed three years with the Sells -Floto Circus, with personal appearance tours dur- ing the winter months. At the conclusion of the 1931 circus season he signed a contract with Carl Laimle of Universal Studios for six talking pictures to be made at Universal City. Naturally, Tony's appearance was included in the deal. He had purchased Tony for twelve dollars and personally trained him for all his stunts.

Tom's stable included many other horses which he personally trained, and which he directed with verbal instructions, or by movements of his hands. With this partial introduction of Tom Mix's early life as a movie star, we will turn back the pages to his youth. He was born near E1 Paso, Texas, the only son of an Irish father and a mother who was of Scotch and Cherokee Indian extraction. His grandfather translated the Bible into the Osage Indian language. His father was a captain in the celebrated U. S. Seventh Cavalry. Tom learned to ride soon after he learned to walk. At seven he was an exceptional roper; the same year he took part in a circus knife - throwing act. By the time he was ten he was an expert with a rifle. When he was eight his parents moved to Waring, Pennsylvania. Dur -. ing the next few years he worked for a black- smith for fifty cents a week; attended Virginia Military Academy, and worked as a pincove boy in a foundry. A few years later he returned to Texas, where he worked on various ranches and associated with men who later became famous in the ranks of the Texas Rangers. JOHN KOJIGIAN BUTLER PLUMBING SUPPLY CO.

He enlisted on April 23rd, and sailed with Captain Grimes' battery for Cuba on June 21st. There he saw plenty of service and had his share of adventure, fighting in the battle of Guaymas, at Car Stobel Hill, and serving as scout and courier for General Chaffee. Just before the Spanish surrendered Tom was shot. The bullet went through the roof of his modth and came out at the back of his neck. After a few months in the hospital at Santiago he joined the artillery shipping for the Philippines. Following a few skirm- ishes in Luzon he went to China, where he was in charge of a Gardiner gun with the Ninth Infantry during the siege of Peking. There a bursting shell tore the skin of his head from his eyebrows to his pate. He returned to the United States, where in a hospital in Washington he lingered between life and death for many weeks. However, he was not destined to die in that manner.

He then went to South Africa with the stock, and participated in the Battle of Ladysmith with the British. Later, cut off from his outfit by a Boer force, he joined the Boers and took part in the Battle of Spincoop as a non- combatant. Upon his return to the United States he became a cowboy in earnest in Texas and Oklahoma. He served as guide for President Theodore Roosevelt on one of his hunting expeditions. He then decided to try his hand at law enforcement. He had great respect for law and order, and felt his experience had ably qualified him for this type of career. It was not difficult to convince the people on that score, and he was elected Sheriff of Washington County, Oklahoma. Later he served as sheriff of Two Butte County, Colo- rado. He served faithfully for some time in these hard - fisted areas, then turned to an- other phase of law enforcement. In order to have a less restricted area he accepted an appointment as a United States Marshal, first in Montana and later in New Mexico and Ari- zona. A little later he became a Texas Ranger.

During this chase he was shot in the back by an Indian woman. Later the same year he was wounded by buckshot while apprehending three cattle rustlers at the Lone Tree Ranch in Colorado. In 1909 Tom joined the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch, a popular wild west show, and won the title of champion cowboy at the Frontier Days celebration at Cheyenne. Following this he won the national steer wrestling champion- ship at the Alaska- Yukon - Pacific Exposition in Seattle. On his way home from Seattle to Oklahoma he stopped off in Chicago, where he was offered a contract to appear in a western picutre to be made by the Selig Company. He was offered one hundred dollars a week, and he refused to take the offer seriously, believ- ing the company was just kidding. Thinking he was holding out for more money, Selig raised the offer to a hundred and fifty dollars, and gave him a contract. Tom said later, "It had so many legal terms and so much red tape that it looked proper enough, so 1 signed it." Fresno Macaroni Mfg. Co. High Grade Macaroni Products 1 133 E Street Fresno Ph.

Mong, and Charles Clary, all stars of the day, arrived in Oklahoma. Tom soon found that in his movie career all his skill in riding, roping, bulldogging, and shooting would be in demand, in addition to saving the heroine from a band of outlaws. Several other westerns were made in Oklahoma and Colorado, but Tom failed to take the movies seriously at that time. He soon returned to law enforcement as marshal of Dewey, Colorado. In 1910 the Francisco Madero revolution broke out in Mexico, and Tom hurried south, again in search of adven- ture. In the revolution he was shot in the right leg. He had another close brush with death when he was wrongly accused of a violation of military law, and sentenced to death by the firing squad. He was saved only when a wounded Mexican confessed to the crime with which he had been charged. Tom was married twice, and was the father of two children, Rugh and Thomasina. He made his home in Beverly Hills after his wandering days were over. He owned a ranch, Sala & West Auto Supply Biggest Little Parts Store in the Valley "Delivery Is Best At Sala & West" 2009 Ventura AM 8 -7637 FRESNO COMPLIMENTS JOHN A. KOCHERGAN a yacht, and a number of automobiles. His hobbies were working in silver and leather, boxing, hunting, and training horses. He never loafed, and often said he could never find time to take a vacation. In his studio he had a boxing ring, a carpenter's bench, a silver- smith's complete outfit, a rare collection of Indian relics, rugs, and big game trophies. His home was filled with trophies he had won, silver ornaments he had made, prize saddles, guns, and all types of souvenirs from his travels in many lands. He could justly boast that in his day he knew personally more picture exhibitors, more great Americans and civic leaders, more school children and Boy Scouts, than any other man in the film industry. Few screen players revered the characters they portrayed as did Tom Mix. He had a code of ethics that was very strict. He never took a drink or smoked in his pictures. He made friends easily, and his followers were legion. He won fame as a "sagebrush philospher ", radio speaker, and was known as filmdom's most distinctively dressed man. His fan mail totalled a million letters during his motion picture career. He belonged to a CENTRAL EMPIRE STORAGE C. RAY ROBINSON W. H. BLACK JOHN W. MYERS COLD STORAGE GROWERS — SHIPPERS DAY.

In spite of his busy life, however, no day ever went by without a visit to the stables where he personally checked the welfare of his livestock. In later years Tom returned to the screen in pictures like "Destry Rides Again ", "Rider of Death Valley ", "My Pal, the King ", and "The Four Horsemen ". An interlude with the circus followed. In 1933 he combined his hugh stables and equipment with the vast Sam B. Dill Circus, purchasing the major interest in that popular outdoor show. Touring the United States with the faithful Tony and his group of hard riding cowboys, his acclaim was greater than ever. It was amid the throngs and excitement of a circus day in Texas in 1934 that Nat Levine, president of Mascot Pictures, literally swooped down upon Tom with the offer to make another picture. Millions of kids and grown -up kids throughout the world had been besieging Tom with the same cry "We want more of ELMER METZ GENERAL CONTRACTORS COMMERCIAL - RESIDENTIAL - INDUSTRIAL Licensed - Insured 4678 E.

The circus was very dear to Tom. The ex- citement, the throngs of people of all types, the constant moving around the country, were things he prized very highly. But after con- siderable thought, screendom's greatest cow- puncher dismounted from Tony's back after one of his sensational circus feats, and signed a contract that once again brought him and his horse to the screen. During the years that followed he continued to endear himself to his countrymen and the kids who had followed his career for such a long time. Tom Mix was a frequent visitor to the San Joaquin Valley, and enjoyed many pleasant, relaxing visits at the former Pierson Dude Ranch near Del Piedra, Fresno County. The author, at that time publicity manager for the ranch, spent many quiet hours with him. It was easy to understand why he had such a fascinating hold on the minds and imagination of the public. Though not an excellent conver- sationalist, having a rather heavy voice, his personality more than made up for the defi- The Desert Inn NO FINER PLACE TO EAT PHONE AM 8 -8441 HWY.

His inherent Indian traits seemed to become dominant in his appearance when he spoke of Tony, his dearest friend. His hawklike face, with its straight nose, eagle eyes, and piercing gaze was a constant index to his innate nature. His homesty, perserverance courage, and love for the outd000rs combined to make him a truly great American. Then came the fateful day no one has ever been able to explain. What occurred, what thoughts may have been in Tom Mix's mind, what caused him to lose his bearings, or what took place at the moment he was killed will never be definitely known. We have only guesswork to explain that fateful automobile accident near Florence, Arizona, on October 12th or 13th, 1940. He was travelling as an advance agent for the 101 Ranch, carrying some thirty thousand dollars to pay for town licenses and other pre -show expenses. This money was found scattered along the highway for hundreds of feet. It was impossible to determine whether death had occurred in the evening of the 12th, or on the morning of the 13th.

Is car was overturned, and America's beloved and best known Westerner was killed in the sixty -first year of a life that had no equal in modern times. Tom Mix loved children, horses, meeting and entertaining people, and being a good American; however, he used to tell me that he felt his greatest contribution to his fellow man was the portion of his life spent as a peace officer. His career was the kind fic- tion writers like to depict, because he had actually lived the life he so often portrayed in his long movie career. Many famous characters travelled the trails of the West, but few had a career comparable to his for pure adventure, excitement, and world -wide fame.

Blackstone AM 4 -9040 FROM THE EDITOR'S WASTEBASKET Officers never cease to be amazed and amused at the varied conditions and cir- cumstances under which they have occas- ion to arrest or interview suspects, wit- nesses, and complainants. One of the prize interviews of 1960 was conducted while the complainant was high up in a tree. It seems he was walking home from the neighborhood tavern late one night, when a pack of stray dogs began nipping at his heels. Being in no condition to run, he took refuge in a tree and began shouting for help. Deputies who responded to the calls of several startled neighbors, had difficulty in coaxing him out of the tree, even after they had chased the dogs away. Officers' wives who worry about the dan- gers their husbands sometimes must face in the line of duty should find comfort in the fact that conditions here are not what they are in Borneo. There last year the police- man of a remote village was eaten by canni- bals. One of the classic excuses of the year was heard by a deputy booking into the jail a youth who had been arrested for carrying several weapon -size lengths of chain with tape han- dles, two or three knives, and several other potential weapons of violence. The suspect defended his action by saying, "Why, man, everybody carries them things in their cars." We knew it had been a dry winter, but we didn't realize how serious the situation was until a few days before the Clovis Rodeo, when two ranchers from the foothill area were heard discussing the coming event. "Do you suppose the parade will be spoiled by rain this year? ", one said. "Gosh, I sure hope so ", the other said fervently.

Nevertheless, it is an essential part of any department. Without it the other units in the department would have great difficulty in performing their respective duties in an efficient coor- dinated manner. The Administrative and Special Services Division of the Sheriff's Department has the responsibility of assisting the sheriff in ad- ministering an annual budget of several hun- dred thousand dollars, and in spending the money in such a way that the taxpayer re- ceives a maximum return on his investment in terms of protection of life and property. Toward the same goal, it is also responsible for the proper utilization of manpower, and for coordinating the duties of the various other divisions. It also assists the Sheriff in choosing new employees and in making promotions from eligibility lists furnished by the Civil Service Commission, keeps per- sonnel records, makes and enforces policies of discipline and procedure, and has many other housekeeping duties.

Under the personal direction of the Sheriff they investigate all vice activity coming to the attention of the department, and work closely with federal, state, city, and other county officers in the continuing fight against narcotics traffic. Another section of the division is the detail for the care of the mentally ill, commanded by Captain Clifford Forrest. It is the duty of these men to enforce the orders of the court in taking into custody and transporting to appropriate institutions those who are suffer- ing from mental illness. They also have authority to arrange for immediate confine- ment in the psychopathic ward of the county hospital, pending a court order, any person who appears to be in such a disturbed condi- tion as to be dangerous to himself or others. Captain Lee Johnson is the personnel officer, and also assists the Sheriff in the administration of the jail and the Elkhorn Industrial Farm. Sgt. William Lockie is the equipment and property officer, responsible for the maintainence of automobiles and other equipment, and for the safekeeping of all property recovered and that impounded and held for evidence.

The actual duties are performed by Chief Deputy Coroner Ben Paschall and his staff of four men and one woman. Shortly before the Review went to press, Mr. Paschall retired after a long career of public service, and at the time of writing a permanent successor has not yet been named. One of the duties of the coroner is to pre- pare an annual report on the number and various types of cases investigated. If one can keep his mind off the depressing aspect of the report, there is a great deal of inter- esting information to be gained by reading it. For instance, during 1960 a total of one thousand eighty -six deaths were investigated. One hundred forty -two of these were later Asher Bros.

Miscellaneous accidents included sixty -nine fatal falls, twenty -two cases of fatal burns, seventeen drownings, and several other incidents such as strangulation, elec- trocution, and gunshots. In the category of natural deaths, heart disease accounted for almost half of the total. Sixty -nine percent of the coroner's calls occurred outside regular office hours, adding another bit of unpleasantness to a job that could not be termed a light- hearted duty under any conditions.

It has another duty of trans- porting to the State Prison reception centers all persons sentenced by the local courts, and of returning to this county all suspects wanted here who are arrested elsewhere.

Broom D. Swanson owl e* D. Safford Se )�geanl Air- Transportaion D. Wright trying to avoid court appearances for failing to provide for their families; or some other similarly unexciting matter. However, there are times when serving a warrant can be as dangerous and exciting as any other job in the department. This can be attested to by a competent witness from outside the depart- ment, Philip Sanchez, an analyst from the County Administrative Office. Mr. Sanchez spent several weeks last fall making a survey of manpower utilization in the department, and in so doing spent a great deal of time with the men in the field. On one particular occasion he and a member of the Warrant Detail stopped at the home of a man for whom the department held a war- rant, and he accompanied the officer to the f� pr mE pr du co inc lod yez a N hart fed nal tha tati door. There was no reason to expect any re- sistance from the suspect, since the charge against him was not of a particularly seri- ous nature. To their surprise, however, the wanted subject answered their knock armed with a shotgun, which he aimed in their di- rection and ordered them off the property. There were several anxious moments before the deputy succeeded in talking the suspect into putting away the weapon and submitting to arrest. Mr. Sa6chez has not made public his re- port; however, it is a safe bet that it includes a statement to the effect that serving a war- rant is not always the routine job it appears to be. Practically all of the transportation of prisoners is done by airplane. Since this method was initiated a few years ago, it has proven to be the most economical method, due to the short time in which a trip can be completed, and the resulting decrease in incidental travel expenses such as meals and lodging for the transportation officers. Last year the air transportation crew began using a war surplus twin - engined airplane, which had been purchased by the county from the federal government at a fraction of its origi- nal cost. It replaced the single- engine craft that had been in use since the air transpor- tation began. STEVE L.

NEBRASKA FRESNO, CALIFORNIA of le in fir pa oft de ha by sei ME cid gra hun fivf i To �rEAMwoR1i CRIMINAL DIVISIUN —Team Aqainst Crime The two main elements of the Criminal Division, Detective and Patrol, work so closely together that it is impractical to re- view their operation separately. Often it is difficult to determine where one group's activities cease and the other's begin. The Detective Division was quite succesful in its operations last year, despite the fact there was a substantial increase in the number of cases investigated, with no corresponding increase in manpower. Statistics are usually dull, but in this instance they present an inter- esting view of the problems encountered by Lt. Collins and his men. Compared to 1959 there was an overall in- crease of twenty -eight per cent in the number of major crimes investigated. Check offenses led the parade, with a sixty -seven per cent increase, from three hundred fifty -five to five hundred ninety-four. This increase was partially due to the fact the District Attorney's office discontinued its check investigation detail, and many cases which previously would have been handled by that unit were handled by our check detail. Burglaries increased twenty percent, from seven hundred sixty nine to nine hundred twenty- seven. Other felonies, such as homi- cide, felonious assault, sex offenses, and grand theft, increased ten per cent, from three hundred twenty -two to three hundred fifty - five. Robbery was the only crime in which 111110 LEY Van Ness & Merced AM 6 -0705 Tom Carothers Jim Evans Wholesale Retail 25 there was no change; sixty -five cases were investigated each year. The increase in the crime rate is due largely to the tremenduous population growth in the county, especially the Fresno metro- politan area. That there was no lack of vigilance on the part of the Patrol Division is shown by the frequency with which its units were able to catch burglars in the act last year. Such an event is the ambition of every patrolman; there is a great feeling of satisfaction in catching a criminal at the scene of the crime, instead of having to start on a cold trail several days later. How- ever, due to the number of potential bur- glary scenes on each beat, the law of aver- ages makes it entirely possible for a very alert patrolman to work diligently for years without having such good fortune. For that reason, the members of the Patrol Division will readily admit that, in addition to the obvious factors of hard work and proper application of patrol procedures, lady luck was on their side last year. Including a few cases in which patrol units were alerted by burglar alarms, a total of thirty -two bur- glars were apprehended at or near the scenes of their crimes. The cases are as follows: January 8th - Everet Clinton Bently, a transient, was arrested when he was observed fleeing from a residence on W. Dakota, where he had broken in and stolen food.

The organization com- bats juvenile delinquency by providing coun- seling and guidance to youngsters in danger of becoming delinquent, thus trying to elimi- nate the cause of each one's individual prob- lem before he is in such serious trouble as to require processing by the Juvenile Court. It is a somewhat frustrating job, due to the frequency with which many youngsters sud- denly revert back to their questionable con- duct and way of thinking, just when it appears they are responding to guidance. However, the feeling is that if only a small percentage of the total number of young people handled can be saved from a life of crime, the effort is well worthwhile.

BLACKSTONE BA 2 -8663 their work is the investigation of cases of child neglect. The officers never cease to be amazed at the hard - heartedness and selfish- ness of some parents, who leave small chil- dren unattended, unfed, ill- clothed, and many times in actual physical danger, while they pursue their own selfish pleasures. When such cases come to the attention of the department, officers, of the Juvenile Bureau usually take children from the home and place them with relatives or in a temp- orary foster home, where they remain until the Juvenile Court hears the case and decides whether or not the parents will be given an- other chance to live up to their responsibili- ties to their children. The factor making such a job most diffi- cult is that the children seldom understand the officers are acting in their behalf. They usually look upon the "cops" as the villians in the act, since, never having known such blessings as a clean home, adequate food and clothing, and loving care, they are unaware those things exist. They almost invariably seem to have a great deal of love for their parents, no matter how badly they have been treated, or how obvious it is that the love is not returned. EMIL J.

However, it is typical in that all investigations are based upon a goal of providing for every youngster in trouble or likely to be a chance to grow up to become a useful and law- abiding citizen.

In addition to all department traffic, it also handles the radio traffic for the Public Works Department network at night and on weekends and holidays. It also has di- rect radio contact with all Fresno County con- stables and most of their deputies, the patrol 43 f.- =1r► r 01611 B. Bolton L. Gardner Y G. Malles C. Sigler units of the Firebaugh, Kerman, Parlier, Huron, and Mendota police departments, the State Department of Fish and Game, local agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and mobile units of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals. There is an inter -city frequency known as Secode, which provides radio contact with many other police and sheriff's departments throughout Califor- nia. A car -to -car set -up known as three -way, is controlled by the main station operator, making it possible for units in the field to talk directly to each other. If such contact is not feasible, due to weather conditions or dis- tance, the messages must be relayed by the operator. As if the above were not enough to keep the operators busy, there is a civil defense radio net which requires attention, and a re- ceiver that monitors the Fresno Police De- partment radio traffic. The switchboard han- dles all telephone traffic in and out of the de- partment, and in a separate room a teletype machine provides direct communication with practically every law enforcement agency of any size in the state. Even with the great volume of traffic handled by the Communications Section, their duties are performed so efficiently that sel- dom does a person telephoning a complaint have to wait, but receives immediate at- tention.

Bowden LM-4FO Af A1 C. Lucas k . E. McCauley '! v y ivy, 7 A. Cirimele V F. Guerrero T. Nix The position of court bailiff is one of the oldest duties of the sheriff. Since the first sheriff, or shire reeve, came into existence in England several centuries ago, it has been the responsibility of the sheriff or one of his deputies to maintain order in the courtroom, summon juries, and generally execute the orders of the court. Practically all jurors are now summoned by mail, from lists of registered voters compiled by the Jury Commissioner. How- ever, the bailiff still has the authority to go 45 y� M. Guhrn E. Lynch D. Pinkham F. Shackelford out on the street and select jurymen from passersby, a procedure that still occasion- ally becomes necessary when, in the midst of selecting a jury for a trial, the panel is exhausted. When a case has been tried and submitted to the jury, the bailiff is the only person allowed direct communication with the mem- bers while they are deliberating. In the event their deliberations are in progress at meal- time, he is responsible for escorting them to a restaurant, and must see that no one talks to them enroute. If the deliberations last overnight, the jury members are usually lodged in hotel rooms, rather than being allowed to go home. In that event, the bailiff must maintain a vigil in the hall outside their rooms, to make sure no one attempts to com- municate with a jury member. The handling of a jury is a serious respon- sibility, requiring firmness, tact, and a knowledge of the law. To fail in one seemingly minor respect could mean a mistrial, result- ing in the case having to be tried again, with great expense to the litigants and the tax- payers.

Young Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant By George Fitch With the dedication and subsequent occu- pancy of the new and modern Fresno County Jail Annex early this year, many of our prob- lems which have harassed the Security and Detention Division of the Sheriff's Department during the past few years are certain to be alleviated. Since the old jail annex was con- demned and torn down the main building and its facilities have been crowded beyond any resemblance to a normal or workable capa- city. This condition has posed many problems for Sheriff Willmirth and his jail administra- tive aides, Captains Lee Johnson and Larry lioskins, in trying to maintain tight security, and at the same time adequately house and provide for the needs of twice the number of inmates for which the building was originally intended. The added space and modern facilities af- forded by the new annex is a big step forward in solving the numerous problems caused by the ever increasing number of persons con- fined in the Fresno County Jail each year. When one considers that the jail serves as the detention center for practically all persons arrested within the county, including all pris- oners of the city of Fresno, and those being 47 s held for other law enforcement agencies, it adds up to a staggering figure of nearly forty thousand persons booked during the past year. There is every indication the total will be higher in the future years. During 1960 the number of inmates being detained in the jail numbered an average of six hundred per day. This is comparable to the number of guests some of our larger hotels accommodate. It would be unthink- able for a first rate hotel to try and accom- modate this number of guests with a working force of forty employees. Yet, this has been the task of the jail security staff, who num- ber less than forty officers and clerks. The task is further enlarged when we consider that the immediate needs of a person con- fined to jail far surpass those of the ordinary hotel guest, discounting of course a few of the niceties afforded the hotel guest, such as clean linen every day. Jails are very often jokingly referred to as hotels by the general public, and the name "Cross Bar Hotel" is common terminology among infnates.

The ultimate purpose is to help the prisoner, so that upon his re- lease he may resume his place in society with the realization the time spent in jail has not made him an undesirable, as was the case not too many years ago. To enumerate all the services rendered an inmate would take more space than this arti- cle will allow; however, let us compare, just for example, the services afforded a hotel guest with those given an inmate in the Fresno County Jail. The one big difference, obvious because of security reasons, is that the hotel guest can take advantage of the service offered him whenever he wishes, while an inmate must request the services, and adhere to all the regulations covering them. There is also a difference in the method of payment. The hotel guest pays for his services, while for those rendered the jail inmate, the taxpayer must pick up the tab. Here are just a few of the services avail- able for the jail inmate. TELEPHONE AND INTER -COM FACILITY: All inmates are al- lowed at least one telephone call. Emergency calls are also permitted.

Whitesbridge institutions. For this work trusties are af- forded extra privileges, plus work time credit. Without trusty help a much larger staff would be required for the jail. These are, in part, some of the major services that are afforded inmates. Because of security reasons many of these services must be rendered by an officer. Even the most menial tasks, such as turning the heat and air conditioning on and off, the music up or down, and even dialing the telephone, are part of the jailer's duties. lmagine the staff it would take to operate a hotel if all these services had to be done for the guest. The cost of supplying all these services is a big item in the jail administration budget. Just how costly it is can be seen by analyzing just one of the aforementioned services: hospital and medical costs for example. Part of the normal day's routine is the dispensing of medicine prescribed by the jail physician, a demanding and exacting task. One officer is assigned specifically to this duty. Many types of ailments are treated, in- cluding various injuries, infections, epilepsy, diabetes, heart disease, and tuberculosis.

AM 6 -0245 60 it, but do not require admittance to the Fresno County General Hospital. An average of twenty- seven persons answer sick call each day. The cost of medicine dispensed in the jail over a six month period amounted to twenty -six hundred dollars. An average of one person each day is sent to the General Hospital for emergency treatment, and three are taken to various clinics by appointment. The cost of treating inmates at the General Hospital averages over four thousand dollars per month. By these figures one can readily see that the cost of just one inmate day at the Fresno County Jail runs into big figures. There has been much discussion and considerable controversy among citizens, civic groups, and law enforcement agencies regarding treatment and facilities afforded prisoners. Some contend that too much is done for the inmate; that jail treatment is too soft and as a result a prisoner is not made aware of the error of his way, and that jail is no real punishment for whatever crime he may have committed. Others feel that not enough is being done for the inmate and that consequently the prisoner leaves the jail with a bad mental attitude which breeds a resent- KLEIN'S RESTAURANT OPEN 24 HOURS 2949 HIGHWAY 99 NORTH FRESNO L ment within him toward the law, with the result that he is very prone to again run afoul of the law. Still others are of the opinion that jail serves no purpose other than keeping the lawbreaker out of circulation, so to speak, for the length of time he is confined. No doubt there is some merit in all these schools of thought; however, it must be recognized that the vast improvements made in recent years in every phase of detention facilities have certainly made the lot of the inmate a better one. The beginning of this year also brought a complete change in booking methods and pro- cedures used by the jail. For Captain Larry Hoskins it marked the culmination of years of planning and research in formulating a system that would prove efficient and pro- ductive in meeting the needs of the ever in- creasing volume of traffic. The first step toward the overall change was made in February of 1960, when the Board of Supervisors approved Sheriff Will - mirth's request for a jail clerical staff, long needed to handle the heavy load of clerical work. Five clerks were hired to handle this phase of the operation. Later new equipment was ordered to re- place that which was outdated and antiquated. YARYAN LUMBER CO.

From it all inter-jail communication can be transmitted and re- ceived. Persons in every office or cell can be reached for communication by just the flipof a switch. Jail doors can be opened in the same manner. New files and cabinets were ordered, and a complete set of new forms was designed. The next phase was the biggest job of all; that of laying out a work program which would fit in with the new method of operation. First the booking office was divided into two sec- tions. One section was set up to handle all the Fresno City drunk arrests, the other to handle all county bookings. The new booking forms were designed not only to speed up the book- ing process, but to furnish more and pertinent information needed in keeping permanent and accurate jail records. The new forms and files eliminated the necessity of keeping the old- fashioned, space consuming, and cumber- some jail registers. Where it once took an average of five to twenty minutes to complete a city drunk book- ing, depending upon the condition of the subject, the new procedure cuts the time to an average of two or three minutes. Consid- ering that the jail averages fifteen thousand city drunk bookings per year, the time now being saved is of considerable consequence.

The new county booking forms also have many improved features. Information is type- written, making it more legible, and the forms are in quintuplet, giving more divisions ac- cess to them. More information required by the various other divisions has been included, including thumbprints of the prisoner. The advantages derived from the new files and filing system are numerous. Besides being more accessible, the system has con- solidated the filing of all papers and records that are required in booking and confining a prisoner. Each inmate has a separate file jacket in which all information concerning him, relative to his confinement, is kept. When he is released, the jacket and records are forwarded to the Identification Bureau, where they are made part of his permanent record. It can be said with pride that Fresno County has kept abreast of the times in this respect; that the taxpayers, in appropriating the money for the construction of the new annex, have shown their awareness of the many problems encountered by the law enforcement officers of the county, as well as showing a vital con- cern for the welfare of their fellow man. The citizens of Fresno County are to be commend- ed for their civic mindedness and considera- tion, and Sheriff Willmirth and his entire staff extend to them their gratitude.

ON1 CIVIL DIVISION ORIGHT HAND F THE COURT The Civil Division, commanded by Captain Fred Koll, has duties that are mostly routine, and quite often plain monotonous. For that reason they receive very little public recog- nition for their very important work. How- ever, the job is not nearly as dull and uninter- esting as it appears to the casual observer. For instance, the size of the case load is a quite reliable index to the general state of the economy of the community. In periods of widespread unemployment and business dif- ficulties the load increases, since so many people are then unable to fulfill their finan- cial committments. The reverse is true in a period of plentiful employment and business success. However, no matter what the condi- tion of the economy, there are always enough cases to keep the division busy. The activities of the division are somewhat difficult to review in detail. It is not wise to mention specific cases, lest it embarrass someone whose only offense has been to suf- fer financial difficulties. Many people having professional contact with the division con- sider its members comparable to the villian of the old- fashioned melodrama, whoseemed FRESNO GLASS CO. WALTER & DUANE BALEME, Props.

The officers are some- times required to evict a tenant who is behind in his rent; or to attach the salary or other property or take foreclosure action against a person who has failed to pay a debt. However, such action is taken only pursuant to a court order, and is invariably performed in as dignified and sympathetic a manner as is possible under such adverse circumstances. The Civil Division is also responsible for serving subpeonas, summonses, complaints, and other routine civil processes, and for ac- counting for and forwarding" to the proper court all bail money received by the jail. Just as the detectives and patrolmen must have a thorough knowledge of the Penal Code and related codes and ordinances, so must the members of the Civil Division be familiar with the Code of Civil Procedure. There may not be much glamour connected to their posi- tions, but since financial troubles, like crime, will always be with us, there is no lack of work.

The questioned document examiner, or handwriting expert, is always busiest during a period of business recession, when more people turn to writing worthless checks to pay their bills. However, even in good times there are many professional check artists who make their living by traveling around the country passing bad checks. When one is apprehended it becomes the job of the hand- writing expert to compare the suspect's writing with that on a bad check he has allegedly passed. The work done in the crime laboratory is the most interesting of the many duties of the Identification Bureau. There many- of the latest developments in the field of science are used. Tiny bits of evidence are tested and analyzed, and often are made to reveal a great deal of information. For instance, a bit of hair left at a crime scene by a sus- pect can, when properly examined, tell a great deal about his race, age, and com- plexion. One of the most frequently used pieces of equipment in the crime lab is the comparison microscope. It is actually two microscopes with a single viewing aperature, so that two objects can be seen at the same time, side PETERSON & HARRIS CO. Painting Contractors 448 N.

Ballistics is the comparison of marks left on a bullet by the lands and grooves in the barrel of a firearm. They are different for each weapon. In a homicide investigation, for example, where the fatal bullet is re- covered, it is possible to determine whether or not it was fired from a particular gun, assuming the gun is available for test pur- poses. A test bullet is fired, then placed under the comparison microscope with the evidence bullet. if they came from the same gun the marks left by the lands and grooves will be identical. Empty cartridges can be checked in the same way, by comparing the marks left on the primer by the firing pin. The microscope is also used in matching shreds of fabric with clothing worn. by a suspect. Our department recently brought- about the conviction of a burglar who had broken into a drive -in theater by matching a small scrap of cloth found at the point of entry with a hole in the suspect's trousers. The science of chemistry is another impor- tant tool of the crime lab. Blood is often anal- yzed to determine whether or not it is of human origin, and if so what type; other sub- stances are analyzed for various reasons, and spots and stains on clothing are identified. One of the tests used in the latter process, is the ultra - violet light. Certain substances will change color and take on a flourescent glow when subjected to ultra - violet rays.

This test can also be used to determine whether or not an erasure has been made on a questioned document. Under ultra - violet rays an erasure shows up quite distinctly, no matter how care- fully it has been done. One of the most unique bits of evidence found by this department's investigators recently was a piece of skin clinging to a broken window through which a burglar had entered. It was turned over to the crime lab for preservation. A day or so later a possible suspect was lo- cated. It was noticed that he had a skinned place on his hand, and further examination showed the piece of skin found at the scene fit like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle. In the face of such overwhelming evidence the suspect confessed. The Fresno County Sheriff's Department is fortunate in having one of the most modern and efficient bureaus of identification in the San Joaquin Valley. Many crimes are solved and a great deal of property is recovered as a result of its efforts. Captain Rodney Riddle is the division commander, and is also the questioned document examiner. Lt. John Belton is the crime lab analyst. In addition to the work done on investiga- tions conducted by the Sheriff's Department, the Identification Bureau also frequently is called upon to assist other police agencies in neighboring cities and counties.

There were a few homicides, felonious assaults, and sex offenses, but they did not occur as frequently or in as spectacular a fashion as they did the previous year. Most of the really inter- esting investigations conducted by the coun- ty's various police agencies concerned bur- glaries. Both the burglars and the burglary investigators had a busy year. The biggest burglary operation of the year involved a group who came to be known to law enforcement agencies throughout north- ern and central California as the Timpson gang. It was a well organized group which specialized in the burglary of hardware and appliance stores, golf course pro shops, and cemetery buildings. The gang first struck in rural Fresno County on January 13th, when they took $2100 worth of tools from a tool shed on a local construction site. Later the same month they entered the building of a diesel supply firm near Malaga and took $850 worth of tools and welding equipment. Following this job the gang moved their operations else- where, and they apparently did not pull another job in Fresno County until June. Early that month they hit a tool shed on a ranch near Reedley. Three weeks later, on June 24th, they entered a farm supply store on Mendocino Avenue near Parlier, taking $500 worth of tools, and on the same night LONG DISTANCE HAULING Ronald Dooms Trucking In Parlier Phone MI 6 -2314 In Reedley Phone ME 8 -2829 16412 E. Manning Reedley 75 took $225 worth of equipment from the Par - lier Cemetery. On June 30th the gang returned to the Fresno area, taking $113 in tools from the Washington Colony Cemetery on South Elm. Their next target was the tool shed on the Enterprise Ranch at Firebaugh, where Deputy Constable James Hamm discovered a loss of $1200. The gang again transferred their oper- ations out of the county for a period of six weeks, then returned on August 24th and took $1300 in loot from the Easton Lumber Co., on S. Elm just a mile from the cemetery they had attacked a few weeks earlier. By this time the gang had established a definite pattern of operation, so that the local jobs and similar ones throughout northern California could be connected. By piecing to- gether bits of evidence it was determined that the gang had access to several cars, that a woman was involved, and that she or another person always drove the car, which was never parked at the scene. The persons making the actual. entry would be dropped off, the driver would cruise at random while they collected the loot, then pick them up in re- sponse to a prearranged signal. About the same time investigators learned of a Modesto resident named James A. Timp- son who for several months had been making periodic trips to Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, where he sold tools, appliances, and sporting goods at auction sales. A check into his background revealed no arrests, but he KENT A.

Timpson's home was put under round -the- clock surviellance, and the identity of many of his visitors thus learned. However, al- though officers were satisfied Timpson was dealing in stolen property, there seemed to be difficulty in obtaining enough evidence to make an arrest. The gang struck twice again in the Fresno area in September. On the 5th they took $300 worth of equipment from a welding shop on South 99, and on the 18th they knocked over Hank's Swank Driving Range on East Shields, obtaining $1150 worth of golf equipment and clothing. In October they went to eastern Fresno County again, taking $600 worth of equipment from a welding shop near Reedley on the 20th, and four days later breaking into the pro shop at the Belmont Country Club, where the loot amounted to $1650. In the meantime, investigators had identi- fied three of the most frequent visitors to the Timpson residence as Howard R. and Ken- neth D.

Since there seemed to be a trend toward golf courses, investigators felt that all the courses in the Fresno area were potential victims. Therefore, an alarm system was devised which could be activated by a bur- glar without his knowledge. The officers then waited for a break, hoping they had guessed correctly. A month passed, and nothing happened. Other counties reported crimes apparently committed by the gang, but there was no sign of them in Fresno County. The officers began to wonder if word of their alarm system had leaked out. The midnight to eight a, m. watch on Novem- ber 22nd began as a typical mid -week tour of duty. Long before the legal closing hour most bars were deserted, there was no one on the streets, and the patrol officers had begun their lonely rounds, checking business establishments and residential areas on their beats for suspicious or unusual activity. Suddenly, at two a.m., a message came over the radio, "The alarm went off at the Muni golf course I" AL MALAKIAN Fleet Trucking - Cash Buyer of Fruits Eye & 10th Reedley ME 8 -2932 6091 E.

Two drove without lights to the clubhouse parking lot, while the third guarded the most likely avenues of escape. The officers parked their cars a few yards from the the pro shop and quietly approached on foot, one to the front and one to the rear. As they did so they heard the noise of someone prowling around inside the building, and noticed that both doors were open. They stood outside for several seconds, watching two men collect golf clubs and other equipment and place in burlap bags, then en- tered and took them into custody. The sus- pects were unaware of the officer's presence until they heard the order, "Don't move l You're under arrestl" They surrendered without resistance; however, a loaded .38 caliber automatic was found on the floor where one suspect had dropped it when the officers entered.

Word was immediately sent to Stanislaus County that at last we had enough evidence to move against Timpson. Sheriff Willmirth and a detective crew began the interrogation of the Allens, while Lt. Collins and another de- tective crew went to Modesto to assist in that phase of the investigation. In the search of the Timpson home, thousands of dollars worth of hardware, sporting goods, appli- ances, furniture, cameras, liquor, jewelry, and various other items was found. Timpson and his wife, Ruby, were arrested and charged with several counts of receiving stolen prop- erty. Later a great deal more loot was re- covered at the home of the Allens. As soon as word of the arrest went out, holds began to come in from other counties. As nearly as can be determined, the gang was responsible for, in addition to the cases men- tioned above and two inside the city of Fresno, at least seventy burglaries, ranging as far south as Kings and Tulare Counties, and north to Siskiyou and Plumas Counties.

Most of the members are now serving state prison sentences. When James Timpson, who had disposed of close to a million dollars in stolen property, was questioned about the thousands of dollars worth of loot found in his house, he made a remark that must be something of a classic. He said, "If there is any stolen property here, I want it to get back to the rightful owners." While the Timpson gang was responsible for the really big burglary investigation of the year, checking each judicial district in alpha- betical order we find that in several of them there was some large scale burglary activity. Fortunately, most of the cases were cleared by the arrest of the persons responsible, and much of the stolen property was recovered. Starting with the Caruthers Judicial Dis- trict, territory of Constable Aubrey Byars, we find it to be one of the exceptions, with practically no organized gangs having struck there. There was a minor incident, however, that would have made an interesting case had it ever come before the court.

The investigation, conducted by Constable Alvie Maze and the homicide detail of the Sheriff's Department, disclosed the following account of the incident. On the afternoon of January 14th, "Tom and Lola Soledad, a middle -aged Indian couple, returned to their home in Friant following a trip to Fresno. They brought with them a six -pack of beer, which they drank as they watched television early in the evening. About 8:00 p.m. Mrs. Soledad suggested to her husband that he go get some more beer. He didn't like the idea, and after some good - natured discussion she stated she would go. She then started into another room to get money, and in the kitchen tripped over a piece of wood and fell.

A few minutes after the attack Soledad and the daughter helped Mrs. Soledad into the house. She sat on the living room floor, while Soledad went into the bedroom and changed his shirt, then hid his bloody clothing in some weeds near the house. When Maze arrived a short time later, he arrested Soledad, and called an ambulance. The suspect was orginally booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, When Mrs. Soledad died in the hospital three days later, the charge was changed to murder. The only possible motive investigators were able to find was jealousy. They learned that a few days before the fatal beating, when the suspect and his wife were in a local bar, she had allowed two men to buy her a beer. He became so angry he poured out the beer, and quarrelled with the men, and afterward ap- peared to harbor a feeling of resentment toward Mrs. Soledad. Following a plea of guilty, Soledad was sen- tenced to state prison.

The city has had a population increase of more than thirty -five per cent, with five hundred new homes and twenty new businessess, including some light industry. For the first time in over six years, the department received an increase of one man and an additional car. Chief Higgason and his staff can well be proud that, in spite of the city's tremendous growth, the overall criminal activity showed a slight decrease in 1960, and of all crimes reported, about fifty -seven per cent have been cleared. Under the Clovis City Civil Service Plan, the department has received a substantial increase in the starting wage and a propor- tionate increase in other wage brackets. The minimum department standards are at a level which is in line with those of many larger departments. The competitive exam- inations given recently were obtained from the state, insuring recruits of high caliber. As in the past, the Clovis Police Department can boast of the best in equipment and train- ing for its members. Chief Higgason would like to commend 1-t.

Show tive work, not only for his own department but for city, county, and state narcotics officers. He also speaks very highly of three men he is losing; Sgt. Charles Mayes, who has been appointed Chief of Police in McFarland, Kern County; Patrolman Carl Henson, who placed number one on the latest Fresno County Civil Service examination for deputy sheriff and has recently been ap- pointed; and Patrolman Lyle Smith, who placed number one on the state examination for Traffic Officer, and is presently await- ing his appointment. Plans for the next year call for a least three additional men to meet the increased work load resulting from the city's continued growth. State, FBI, and in- service training share an important part in keeping the offi- cers well trained and briefed on new laws, legal decisions, and police procedures. The department intends to maintain its enviable record, and improve in every way possible. In the Coalinga Judicial District Constable Jack Tarkington and his deputy Charles Smith, had a relatively quiet year. The closest thing to a crime wave occurred on the night of November 4th, when the Giffen Ranch head- BURNETT CONSTRUCTION CO. LES EVERETTE COALINGA W. W. WEETH RANCH COALINGA McKAY TRUCKING CO.

Slightly more than $250 in cash and several thousand dollars in payroll checks were taken from the ranch office, while at the school the suspects took a typewriter, a tape recorder, and various small items, and made an unsuccessful attempt to open the safe. Shortly after 10:00 a.m, the next day word was sent via the check warning system to business establishments throughout the coun- ty. This is a system whereby the forgery detail telephones certain key business men and warns them of any stolen checks that are likely to be presented for cashing, or of any forgery operators likely to be in the area. These men each telephone several others, who in turn call others, the word being passed on in the manner of a chain letter. Within a short time practically every business estab- lishment in the county can be alerted. At 11:45 a.m, a market operator in Selma notified the Selma Police Department that one of the stolen Giffen checks had been pre- sented to him for cashing. The person with the check and several companions were COMPLIMENTS OF M. J. & R. S. ALLEN C 0 A L I N G A FEARON'S Plumbing & Sheet Metal EAST GLEN & 4TH ST.

The high quality of traffic law enforcement in the city is attested to by the fact there has not been a traffice fatality since 1946. Chief Clarence Enos of the Huron Police Department also reported a rather quiet year. This is partially due to the fact that this once somewhat obstreperous young city is becom- ing more sedate and mature. However, it still has its problems, with the great influx of migratory workers during the melon and cot- ton harvest seasons, and a police department that can keep the crime rate down under those conditions is doing an admirable job. The next stop on our alphabetical itinerary is the Dunlap Judicial District, in the south- east corner of the county. Retiring Constable Orval Work and his deputy Sam Kelley,. who succeeded him as constable in January of this year, had a little trouble with irrespon- sible hunters shooting cattle; there were several thefts of chain saws, and a few cabin burglaries.

There was quite a shake- up in top law enforcement jobs in the district. Firebaugh Chief of Police Bill Traylor suc- ceeded Al Lopez as constable, and his succes- sor as chief was a former sergeant in the department, John McClain. Mendota, the other incorporated city in the district, also has a new Chief of Police. Lawrence H. Dickens has replaced Myrle Smithson in that position. The Mendota Police Department, though small in terms of man- power, operates in the manner of a much larger department, with its own complete record system, including a photograph and fingerprint file of persons arrested, and its own modern jail. The patrol units are pre- sently dispatched by the Sheriff's Department radio; however, this will soon be supple- mented by radios on a municipal frequency.

The Fowler Judicial District, where Rich- ard Valdez is beginning his second term as constable, had several sizable residence bur- glaries last year, but the most interesting case was the burglary of June's Market on Eighth Street, where the loss amounted to only forty dollars worth of wine, clothing, and cigars. The case was made unique by the type of evidence left behind by the suspect. Officers are accustomed to finding footprints, fingerprints, tire tracks, and even bits of hair or clothing, but this was the first time anyone could remember finding a set of false teeth. As it turned out, they were valuable evi- dence. A short time after the burglary was committed a Highway Patrol unit arrested a toothless drunk staggering along 99 Highway.

When he realized his own teeth had "copped out" on him, he confessed to the crime, as well as to the attempted entry of a nearby residence at about the same time. Chief of Police Albert Quintana of the Fowler Police Department reports a substan- tial decrease in all types of criminal activity, including juvenile problems and traffic viola- tions. He attributes this in part to the contin- uous training program he has initiated for his officers. In addition to an in- service train- ing program, every member of the depart- ment has had, or is presently receiving, college training in various phases of crimi- nology. In the Fresno Judicial District there were several large burglaries last year, in addi- tion to those conrfmitted by the Allens. Perhaps the most interesting was a series of residence burglaries occurring on the south side of the city last autumn. The house chosen by the sus- pect was always a neat, well -kept farmhouse, somewhat isolated from its neighbors, and usually set back from the road.

He always attacked on a weekend evening when the victim's family was away; he invariably parked his car on the road a short distance from the driveway; his method of entry into the house was always the same; and he took the same type of articles from each victim. Despite this distinct pattern, investigators had a difficult time in obtaining enough evi- dence to locate the suspects. The jobs were well planned, and little was left behind to aid the officers. For several weekends the area was literally saturated with patrol cars, with no success. Finally, by painstakingly combining the fragments of evidence from each job, and talking to a few people who had seen a car parked in the neighborhood of a burglary scene, officers came up with what they could only hope was a reasonably accurate descrip- tion of the suspect's car.

The best story of the Kerman Judicial Dis- trict is the series of cotton gin burglaries which occurred early last summer. A group of Fresno youths hit several Kerman area gins, as well as several in the Fresno area, taking office equipment, money from vending machines, and ransacking desks and file cabi- nets. At the same time there was a wave of tire, battery, and gasoline thefts from trac- tors and farm equipment parked in fields in the area. The crime spree came to an end on the night of July 1st, when two of the suspects were trapped and captured inside the Produ- cers Gin at 11200 W. Whitesbridge by Con- stable Henry Wulf, his deputy Gene Petru- celli, and units of the Sheriff's Department patrol division.

The Kerman Police Department is believed to be the only department in the county which had no personnel changes during 1960. The roster is exactly the same as was when last year's Review was published. In addition to being satisfied with their positions, the offi- cers are also obviously an efficient crew, since Chief McElroy reports no significant increase in the city's crime rate. The city of San Joaquin, which last year was mentioned as having the smallest police de- partment in the county, now has none at all. Instead the city has entered into a contractual agreement with the county, whereby it pays a portion of the salary of the deputy constable who serves the area. This is the only situation of its kind in Fresno County; however, several large cities in Los Angeles County have simi- lar arrangements with the Sheriff's Depart- ment there.

The Kingsburg Judicial District, policed by Constable H. F. Johanson and the Kingsburg Police Department, had very little crime of any type last year. The only case in our files worthy of mention is a grand theft, and it was committed by a person who just happened to be passing through the area. On the basis of available information, Kingsburg appears to have been the most crime -free community in the county last year. With the exception of the two Allen jobs previously mentioned, there was little orga- nized crime in the Parlier Judicial District. Constable Ed Camino and his deputy, Bob Montague, had a quiet year in the rural area, and, although we. have no information con- cerning the activities of the Parlier Police Department, we assume they had no great difficulties or problems. The Ponderosa Judicial District, in the northeast corner of the county, is the terri- tory of Constable Jack Sturges and his deputy Dick Smith.

The area's biggest case was the burglary of Johnson's Cafe on Tollhouse Road early on the morning of March 6th. The suspects were quickly identified, and through the cooperation of the Highway Patrol, located and arrested the same day. Investigators learned that among the patrons the night" before had been a local girl home for a weekend visit from her job in San Francisco. With her had been two men, strangers to the area. The officers im- mediately checked the girl's home, and al- though she was not there, they found tire tracks matching those left by the burglars. An all- points bulletin was put out, describ- ing the car and occupants. That afternoon a Highway Patrol unit stopped the car on 99 Highway at the Merced- Stanislaus County line, and found in it the loot from the bur- glary.

August was the busy month for burglars in the Riverdale Judicial District, bailiwick of Constable Al Nester and his deputies Arnie Goble and Raymong Lopez. On the 16th of that month twenty typewriters were taken in a burglary of the Laton High School. This case is still under investigation. Several leads have been checked, but so far investigators have been unsuccessful in their attempts to identify the suspects. On the 29th two business houses in River- dale were hit hard by burglars. McKeans's Clothing Store lost $1330 worth of merchan- dise, and the Riverdale Drug Store lost $600 worth of cameras and watches. Indications were that the two jobs had been done by the same persons.

Chief of Police Carl Armstrong reports that the overall crime rate for the city of Sanger decreased during 1960, with no ap- parent increase in any major crime. The Juvenile Bureau, which was started by the department in 1959, has shown excellent progress by reducing the number of juvenile offenses occurring in the city. Chief Arm- strong and his officers feel that the develop- ment of a juvenile program which does a little more than just investigate crimes is a very important phase of law enforcement. In addition to the annual Christmas show for the children, which is co- sponsored by the Sanger Fire Department, the Police Depart- ment sponsors a baseball and a basketball team for youngsters, and a recently organized Boy Scout troop. At Christmas time a dance was sponsored by the department for the bene- fit of the needy, for which the admission price was a can of food. A pickup truck load of food was turned over to the V.F.W. for dis- tribution. The strength of the department remains the same acs the previous year, with fourteen full time officers, and numerous reserve officers who work in a part time capacity. Besides the general crime rate decrease, 1960 marked the tenth consecutive year with- out a traffic or pedestrian fatality in the city, a record the department hopes to maintain BRATTON'S GROCERY UN 6 -5346 Burrel TUSAN PACKING CO.

Constable Iver Johansen and his deputy Bill Kasfeldt of the Selma Judicial District had a good year, with no really big problems. One of their biggest burglaries occurred on October 23rd, when two hundred dollars worth of appliances were taken from a resi- dence on South Bethel Avenue. The case was quickly solved when one of the suspects tried to sell part of the loot at a used furniture store. The remainder was recovered from his home, and his accomplice arrested. The highlight of the year for the Selma Police Department was the occupancy of their new building. The following description of the new facility is in the words of Chief of Police William D. Davis: "Selma, 'A Peach of a City',.located inthe heart of the San Joaquin Valley, is very proud of its new police facility.

Administrative space and storage room were also extremely limited. The new facility became a reality when the Selma City Council gave its per- mission to negotiate with the Southern Paci- fic Railroad for its old passenger depot. Sale of the building was soon arranged, and remodeling by the firm of Lewis C. Nelson and Sons of Selma began immediately. "The entire interior of the former depot was stripped and the building completely remodeled. The outside was less extensively remodeled, but received a fresh coat of paint and other refinements, expecially around the main entrance. An attractive sign easily identifies the building. "Approximately 2600 square feet of floor space is available in the new quarters. There is adequate office and administrative space, chief's office, squad room, booking and iden- tification room, interrogation- investigator office, and storage space. The new facility also provides a drunk tank, solitary cells and multiple occupancy cells. Prisoners are West Coast Growers & Packers, Inc. • CINDERELLA & BLONDIE PRODUCTS • SELMA 106 brought into the station from the rear with the security section completely removed from the administration area. Cost of the new police facility was approximately $40,000. Space now used for storage could be readily con- verted into women's and juvenile quarters. "The depot building was purchased from the Southern Pacific Co. for $2,000. We leased one block of property, 178 feet deep, at $50 per month, where the building stands. There is front and rear parking space. All police activity is confined to the rear of the building. Only visiting law enforcement offi- cers are permitted to park in the reserved parking spaces at the front of the building. Prisoners are taken directly to the jail, and two officers complete each booking. Guns are left in the booking room. We have no elec- tronic devices on our security doors, but each door locks behind you and must be open- ed with a master key carried by all police personnel. Jail capacity is 35. "There are thirteen members in the de- partment. Besides myself, there are three sergeants, each in charge of one shift, seven patrolmen, and two female desk sergeants.

" From the journalist's point of view, the stories of burglary investigations which make up most of this year's imaginary trip "Around the County ", are perhaps not as interesting as the accounts of murder and other crimes of violence we usually discuss. However, it is a refreshing change of pace to have a year in which we could write about loss of property rather than loss of life. CITIZENS LUMBER CO.

The Review extends to each of them sincere thanks for their many years of service and worthwhile contributions to the law enforcement profession, and wishes them many happy, carefree years in which to enjoy a well- earned rest. Vernon F. McReynolds Sgt. Vernon. F. McReynolds of the Security Division retired February 16th of last year, after twenty -one years as a peace officer. During most of his career with this department he was a shift commander in the jail, where he earned the respect of not only his fellow workers, but NIELSEN CONSTRUCTION CO. PARLIER 109 the inmates as well, for his firm but fair treat- ment of the prisoners. "Mac ", as he is known to his many friends, was born in Illinois on November 30th, 1893. He has made California his home since he was five years old. He grew up and attended school in Chico. He joined. the Army in 1915, served with a coast artillery unit in France in World War I, was wounded, and was discharged in 1918. Mac and his wife, Gertrude, were married in Stockton in 1920. For the next several years he worked as a conductor for a lumber company railroad, and for eight years was employed by the Wells Fargo Express Company. He joined the YoIo County Sheriff's Department in July of 1939, where he remained until April of 1945, when he became a member of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. Mac is a member of the American Legion, the Disabled Veterans of World War I, the Elks Lodge, and the California Peace Officers Asso- ciation. He and Mrs. McReynoIds live at 2949 E. McKenzie Avenue in Fresno. Mac has stayed pretty close to home since his retirement, spend- ing a great deal of time caring for his yard, which could easily win a prize as the best - groomed yard in the neighborhood.

Wages checked in his badge and gun early last year, after twenty years as an employee of Fresno County. He was with the Sheriff's Department only a few of those years, but during that time he earned a reputation as a thorough, efficient worker, and a fine gentle- man. John was born in Arkansas in 1893, and has lived in Fresno County for forty -two years. From 1920 to 1925 he worked for the Southern California Edison Company at Big Creek. Fol- lowing that he worked five years for the Santa Fe Railroad in the bridge construction depart- ment. He then worked several years in the shipping department of the Borden Company. In 1940 he went to work for Fresno County as a watchman in the Courthouse Park. A few years later he joined the staff of the District Attorney, where he served as a road patrolman. When that position was abolished by the Board of Supervisors in 1955, John came to the Sheriff's Department, where he served in the Warrant Section until his retirement. John and Mrs. Wages make their home at 526 W. Shields in Fresno. He has kept busy since his retirement by looking after rental property he owns in Friant, working part time for the Mort Peckinpah real estate firm, travel- ing to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers play, visiting his daughter in Carmel, and fishing. In fact, he spends so much time fishing we had be- gun to think we would have to borrow a boat and some tackle and conduct this interview on Miller - ton Lake.

Joe Quick Dectective Sergeant Joe F. Quick retired on November 1st, 1960, after twelve years withthe department. For the past several years he had been in charge of the forgery detail. Joe was born in Clinton, Oklahoma on January 29, 1906, He grew up in Pendleton, Oregon, and came to Fresno in 1935. From that time until he entered the military service in' World War II he operated a dry - cleaning establishment. Dur- ing the war he was a First Sergeant in the Army Air Corps, stationed at the old Lemoore Field. Following his discharge in 1945, he operated a ranch in the Hanford area until 1948. He then returned to Fresno, where he operated the Mecca Cigar Store until January of 1949. when he joined the Sheriff's Department. Joe was one of the organizers and the first president of the Central California Check Inves- tigators Association. In 1959 he was president of the California Check Investigators Associa- tion, a state -wide organization. He is a past president of Fresno Aerie 439 of the Eagles, and presently holds a state office in the lodge. He is also a past president of the Valley Associ- ated Square Dancers, and of the Fresno County Sheriff's Employees Association. Joe and his wife Mary are enthusiastic follow- ers of the modern trend toward mobile living. In fact, they like trailer homes so well they own two, a large model more or less permanently parked at 3434 N. Millbrook, Fresno, which they call home, and a smaller one which they use for travel. Their plans for the future include a great deal of travel, including some hunting and fishing. Ernest Henry Jayne For Sgt. Ernest H. Jayne, January 31, 1961, marked the end of thirty -seven years of contin- uous service in Fresno County law enforcement work. He began his career as a peace officer in 1924, when he became a deputy of Sheriff William F. Jones, In 1930 he became a deputy constable, serving under Constable James Rose until 1934, and under Constable Elwood Roughton from 1934 until 1943. He then was appointed to the post of constable, and was reelected in the next two elections. In 1952 when the county's townships were re- organized into judicial districts, the post of con- stable in the Fresno Judicial District was abol- ished, and the duties transferred to the Sheriff's Department. Ernie joined the department at the same time, and served in the Civil Division until his retirement. On his last day, Ernie reported for work for the ten thousandth time, give or take a few days one way or the other. We asked him to tell us something of his thoughts and feelings of this memorable day. "Naturally I can't help but sense a feeling of sadness," he replied, "knowing that my active and close association with all my 112 MARTIN COSTALE'S MC ANGUS RANCH TRANQUILLITY, CALIFORNIA ORLANDO'S Welding & Hardware James & Silveira Streets P. 0.

At the same time, the day was a very pleasant one, just as has been each day of the thirty -seven years I have been in law enforcement work." "How could it have been anything else," he continued. "When I recall all of the wonderful friends and associations 1 have made over the years, I can truthfully say that I have been for- tunate to have been in law enforcement work for so many years. I only hope that my remaining years will be as enjoyable and fruitful as the past thirty -seven have been." In recalling the early period of his career Ernie said, "It is hard to believe all the changes and improvements that have taken place in law enforcement over the years. When I first became a deputy constable in 1924, the total county con- stable staff numbered less than six men. My starting salary was $150.00 a month. Doesn't sound like much now, but in those days it went a long way, especially during the depression of the late 20's and early 30's. Looking toward the future, Ernie says he has no definite plans. "I'm just going to loaf around and take it easy for awhile," he said. "The wife and I are planning a trip to Alaska some- time soon. After that maybe I'll take apart time job, probably in some type of law enforcement work. " "After all, it's pretty late to change horses after thirty -seven years," he added with a smile. Ernie was born in King City, Monterey County, and has lived in Fresno County since he was eight years old. He married the former Edna Blasingame in 1922. He and Mrs. Jayne make their home at 1043 E.

The couple had three children, one of whom passed away when still a baby. He operated a dry - cleaning and tailoring business in Texas from 1912 until 1924. His place of busi- ness was next door to a mortuary, and through friendship with the mortician he became inter- ested in that profession. In 1924 Ben came to Fresno for a short stay. He liked the town so well he returned to "Texas, sold his business, and in 1925 moved here. For the next twenty years he was associated with John N. Lisle in the operation of the Lisle Funeral Home. In 1933 he was graduated from the College of Mortuary Science. In 1945 he purchased the Byrne Funeral Home in Selma, and operated until January of 1950, when he sold the establishment to Frank Page. He was the first president of the Central Division, California Embalmers Association, and in 1943 was state president of the organi- zation. He was appointed deputy coroner in 1936, and held that position until 1950, when he was appointed Coroner of Fresno County, filling the vacancy created by the death of A. M. Yost. The next year when the offices of Coroner and Sheriff were combined, he was appointed Chief Deputy Coroner, and held the post until his retirement. Ben and Mrs. Paschall reside at 594 E. McKinley in Fresno. They have a trailer house which they use for frequent trips to the coast and the mountains, where Ben pursues his hobbies of fishing and boating.

In addition to the Sheriff's Department mem- bers who retired last year, three veteran con- stables with a total of 98 years of law enforce- ment experience retired from active duty. Jack H. Tarkington retired after ten years as constable of the Coalinga Judicial District. He was born in Mt. Carmel, Illinois on June 12, 1888, and has been a Fresno County resident for forty years. He began his law enforcement career as a county traffic officer in 1921. The late Bud Gearhart was district attorney at that time, and Bill Jones was sheriff. Reminiscing of those days, Jack says, "What 1 liked about the old days, everybody worked together and got things done. We worked seven days a week and twenty -four hours a day if necessary, and worked traffic and everything else that came along. Every month we got that check for a hundred and fifty dollars and mileage, and we took it all home." A little later in his career Jack was marshal, traffic officer, and fire chief for the city of Coalinga. When the California Highway Patrol was formed, he became a member, and was resi- dent patrolman for the Coalinga area until he became constable. Several years ago Jack used to present quite a spectacle on the streets of Coalinga with his PI LI BOS BROS. MENDOTA 115 Jack Tarkington pet, a full grown puma named Oscar, who rode with him on his motorcycle. He got the cat from the Barnes circus when he was a year old, and kept him until he died twelve years later. Jack and his wife, Gladys, live at 193 Jeffer- son Street in Coalinga. They have one child, a daughter named, Jean. Of his plans for the future he says, "I have my home and two apartments to take care of, and 1 like my pinochle sessions at the Elks Club." Jack has known Sheriff Willmirth since the latter was a boy, and speaks very highly of him. To all others with whom he has been associa- ted in law enforcement, he sends his thanks for their cooperation, and extends to them best wishes for the future.

Lopez spent as constable of the Firebaugh Judicial District. He was appointed to the post in 1935 to fill a vacancy created by the resigna- tion of Frank Markle. Prior to his appointment he was a member of the Firebaugh Police De- partment for two and a half years. For a short time in the early 1940's he held the job of -Chief of Police of Firebaugh in addition to his post as constable. Constable Lopez was born in Gilroy on June 24th, 1891, but has lived most of his life in the Firebaugh area. As a young man he worked as a mule- skinner, hauling grain from Newman, in Stanislaus County, to the railroad. Follow- ing that he rode for the Miller and Lux Ranch as foreman over their cowboys for eighteen years. He established quite a reputation as a thorough, efficient peace officer. During his career he took part in thirty -two homicide investigations, and in thirty -one of them the suspect was sub- sequently convicted. In the other the suspect was apprehended, but was convicted of a lesser charge. In 1948 he was the recipient of an award made by the Fresno Advertising Club for, quoting from the citation, "exceptional courage and daring over and beyond the line of duty as a peace officer in the prompt apprehension of per- sons accused of a vicious crime." The award was made for his capture of two murder sus- pects less than an hour after they had killed a Fresno service station owner. Al and Mrs. Lopez have three children. They make their home in Firebaugh, where he is an active member of the Eagles Lodge and the Foot - printers Association.

That is quite a political record for a man who is so reluctant totalk about him- self, we had difficulty in obtaining information for this article. Constable Work is a native of the Dunlap area. He was born there in February of 1900. He has operated a cattle ranch most of his adult life, and for many years also owned a service station in Dunlap. He was injured in an accident several months before his last term of office expired, and was disabled for quite some time. He has pretty well recovered by this time, however. He and his wife, Neva, make their home in Dunlap, where they own a great deal of property. Most of their land is leased out now. They still keep a few head of cows on their ranch for old times' sake, but are not engaged in a full scale ranching operation. A.

PINEDALE, CALIFORNIA Tool'i 0 th e '(raQe BY Herman Saghatelian The carpenter has his hammer; the me- chanic his wrench; and the stenographer her pencil and notebook. All are very simple tools, but before they can be used effectively a certain amount of training is required. The peace officer too has tools which he must be trained to use, the best known of which is the revolver. As one step toward the goal of better serving the people of Fresno County, mem- bers of the Sheriff's Department are required to attend regularly scheduled shoots at the pistol range. The gunnery training is under the direction of Sergeant Glen Hunt, the Range Master. The primary weapon used is the .38 caliber revolver, the official duty weapon. The novice officer begins his training shooting at the bull's eye type target. As his skill with the revolver progresses, he advances to the com- bat courses. One type of combat course is known as the Practical Pistol Course, or P.P.C. In this exercise the shooter fires fifty rounds of ammunition in five minutes and forty -five seconds. The target used is the silhouette of a man facing the shooter. In the first phase the shooter stands at the seven yard line. On command, he loads five The All New Pontiac AT Herman Theroff Pontiac, Inc. SALES & SERVICE 850 "L" Street Fresno Ph.

When the signal is given he draws, fires five rounds from a crouched position without using the sights, re -loads and fires five more rounds, all double- action. This phase, known as hip shooting, must be completed in twenty sec- onds. The clock is then stopped, and the shooter moves back to the sixty yard line. At the sixty, the order is given to load five rounds and holster. At the signal the clock is started and the shooter takes the prone posi- tion and fires five rounds single- action. He then re- loads, moves to the fifty, fires five rounds from the prone position and five from the sitting position. He then moves behind a barricade, where he fires five rounds with each hand, simulating shooting from behind a car or around the corner of a building. From the fifty the shooter moves to the twenty -five yard line. There he fires five rounds double- action from the kneeling posi- tion, and five rounds with each hand from behind a barricade, completing the course. A total of fifty rounds have now been fired, with a possible maximum score of 100 points. This course is designed to simulate combat condi- tions, providing practice in the use of both hands, cover and concealment, and the double - action and single- action methods of firing. Another type of combat course is called the "Night Dueling Course." All range lights are extinguished, and the only light used from moonlight and flashlights. A "bobber type" target is used, which is a silhouette of a man from the waist up. A total of fifty rounds are fired from the fifteen and twenty -five yard lines. All firing is double- action, half with the aid of a flashlight, and half with no artificial light at all. The use of the sub- machinegun, sawed -off shotgun, rifle and tear gas are also demon- strated in the following manner. A team armed with these weapons makes an assault upon a simulated target, most likely a hypo- thetical suspect hiding in a building. The rifle is used to snipe at windows and doorways.

Tear gas and smoke grenades are then used, and the team moves in to make the capture. All officers receive basic familiarization training in the use of these weapons. Under construction at the present time is a "Hogan's Alley" combat course. This is the false front of a building with several doorways and windows. Through the use of electrical switches, life -size targets made with actual photographs suddenly appear. As the shooter walks along the front of the build- ing he must decide in a split second whether or not to shoot at a target which suddenly ap- pears. He also must learn to re -load in a hurry, keep track of the number of rounds he fires, and use all available cover. The course can be fired either day or night, and is made more realistic by recordings of gunfire, loud noises, and shouting. One of the primary aims of the gunnery training is safety, not only for the protection of the officer, but for the protection of the innocent bystander. The extra margin of life insurance provided by knowing how to use the tools of his trade is well worth the extra time and effort required.

Dan Conway The crime of robbery is defined by sec- tion 211 of the California Penal Code as follows: "Robbery is the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or imme- diate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear." There is a tendency on the part of the lay- man to confuse the crimes of robbery and burglary. Quite often a citizen reports he has been robbed, and subsequent investigation reveals the crime was a burglary or theft instead, since it occurred when the victim was not present or was otherwise unaware of its commission at the time it was taking place. In order for a crime to be robbery the victim must know at the time of its com- mission the intent of the suspect to take his property; he must be unwilling for the sus- pect to do so, and he must be restrained from preventing the taking through fear of the sus- pect, induced by either direct or implied Hockett -Cowan Music Co.

Whitney Ave. 127 THIS IS A STICKUP threats. Robbery is divided generally into two cate- gories, commonly called armed robbery and strong arm robbery. Actually, the technical designations are first degree robbery and second degree robbery, respectively. Armed, or first degree robbery, is a crime in which the victim is threatened with a fire- arm or other deadly or dangerous weapon in order to force him into giving up his money or other property. Strong arm, or second degree robbery, means that mere physical force, or the threat thereof, was used. Any business owner, or anyone who owns anything of value, no matter how small, is a potential robbery victim. Although robberies in which the loot amounts to hundreds or thousands of dollars naturally are the most publicized, they are not the most common. Every police agency investigates many rob- beries in which the suspect obtained only a few dollars, or sometimes even just a few cents. The following precautions may aid you, as a potential robbery victim in protecting your life and property by discouraging would -be bandits from making you their prey.

In opening and closing your place of business, do not follow a set pattern, or regu- lar routine. Watch for persons loitering on or near the premises, sitting in cars parked nearby, or driving by more than once for no apparent reason. 2. Keep your windows open to view from the street. Bandits are gamblers, but only when the odds are in their favor. They don't relish the thought of a passerby seeing them in action and notifying the authorities. 3. Maintain a good alarm system. The initial price of holdup and burglar alarms is surprisingly low, and may be purchased on a cost lease basis from qualified technicians listed in the yellow pages of the telephone di- rectory under burglar alarm systems. Silent type alarms are considered by-law enforcement officers as the most practical. They are triggered by the suspect or victim at the scene of the crime, without the sus- pect's knowledge, and transmit a signal to a fixed location, usually the local police agency headquarters or the offices of the alarm com- pany.

Many types of new equipment are now on the market, including electronic cameras and closed circuit television, which can be used to thwart the would -be holdup man. A robber casing a job will usually move on to another establishment when he observes indications that the building is covered by an alarm system. 4. If you are suspicious of an individual in your store, have someone obtain the license number of all the vehicles outside the prem- ises, if possible. if a holdup does take place, the identity of the robber and most of the wit- nesses will possibly be available. If it turns out the man was just another bashful sales- man, no harm will have been done by the mere taking of license numbers. If precautions fail, and you are held up, there are still many things you can and should do, first to protect your life, and then to aid in the suspect's capture. 1. Follow the robber's orders to the letter. Do not try to be a hero. The suspect has prob- ably been practicing quick draw shooting, and he is likely to be even more nervous than you R. J. WAYTE CO.

Without being obvious, try to memorize his description from the top of his head to his feet, in that order, as that is the manner in which you will be asked to describe him to in- vestigating officers. 3. Look for moles, scars, and tattoos. Also remember any characteristics such as missing or deformed teeth, and any speech defects or accent. Clothing worn by the sus- pect is secondary as far as the description is concerned; however, many cases have been solved on the description of clothing alone. 4. Immediately after the suspect departs, attempt to ascertain the direction of flight and the sound, type, color, and make of the vehicle used as the get -away car. Telephone the nearest law enforcement branch and state, "I have just been held up, "then wait for the desk officer to ask you questions concerning the details.

Seconds may count at a time like this, and since the officer is experi- enced in handling calls of this nature, he knows how to get a patrol unit on its way to the scene and a preliminary broadcast on the radio with a minimum of delay, by asking for the pertinent information in the proper se- quence. Stay on the phone until you are advised by the desk officer to hang up, then wait for the officer who is on his way to make the preliminary investigation. 5. Do not attempt to investigate the crime yourself. Trained identification men will ar- rive shortly, and it will be necessary for them to dust for fingerprints and make photographs, and carry on a scientific investigation of the premises. Any alteration of the crime scene before their arrival will hamper their efforts. In a recent case a suspect drank in a local bar for some time before announcing a hold- up. He left his glass on the counter when he fled, but between the time the bartender, who was the victim, telephoned the authorities and the time of the first officer's arrival, the bar- tender, through force of habit, washed and dried the glass the suspect had used.

Most of the foregoing information and ad- vice is most applicable in a case of the armed robbery of a place of business. Most cases of strong arm robbery could be prevented by the exercise of proper caution and the use of common sense on the part of the potential victim. Quite often contributory negligence on his part places him in the position of inviting certain unsavory characters to rob him. Two examples are, becoming friendly with stran- gers met in a bar, and picking up a hitchhiker, which is a dangerous habit for the second rea- son that you may be helping him get away from the scene of some other crime he has just committed. The display of large sums of money, or boasting of the possession of such a sum, in- vites the strong arm robber to follow you, or to attempt to get you into conversation on the chance he may be able to entice you onto his home ground, such as an alley or dark corner. Most criminals of this type work in bars. It is surprising how often a gullible person falls for the promise of some new drinking buddy that he will take him somewhere to meet a girl, or where he can gamble. Unfortunately, the victim seldom arrives at the promised destination. He usually wakes up alongside a lonely road with his money and car miss- ing, and a large lump on his head to go along with the hangover he probably would have had the following morning anyway, MASTER RADIATOR WORKS United Motor Service REPAIRING - RECORING - CLEANING Frank Kandarian, 616 Broadway Phone AD 7 -0514 CLOVER CLUB 2039 KERN FRESNO WARD'S TRACTOR CO.

Traylor Constable Constable Constable Dunlap Judicial Coalinga Judicial Firebaugh Judicial District District District NEW J 0 B S FOR VETERAN OFFICERS by William Weaver Three new constables were elected in Fresno County in last year's elections. How- ever, none of them is a stranger in local law enforcement circles, since all are veteran peace officers. The Review extends congrat- ulations to these gentlemen, and wishes them well in their new positions. Thomas A. Quinney is the the new constable of the Coalinga Judicial District. Prior to his taking the oath of office he was a captain in the Coalinga Police Department, of which he had been a member for fifteen years. BOSTON RANCH CO. STAR ROUTE 2, BOX 100 LEMOORE, CALIFORNIA Iff Constable Quinney was born in Galva, Illi- nois in 1914. He attended elementary and high school in McNabb, Illinois, and Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. He has been a resident of Coalinga since 1939. In 1924 he married the former Johnnie Carter, a native daughter of Coalinga. They have two children a son, Rick, seventeen, and a daughter, Trudi, fifteen. Constable Quinney was in the Armyduring World War Il. He served with the 22nd Engi- neers, 5th Armored Division, and held the rank of Reconnaisance Sergeant at the time of his discharge. FRANK A. GALLISON CROP SEEDING BY AIRPLANE Airport One Mile South of Dos Palos EXpress 2 -2120 P. 0. Box 1265 Dos Palos Samuel. A. (Toad) Kelley succeeded Orval Work as constable of the Dunlap Judicial District. For the previous five years he served as deputy constable in the district. From 1933 until 1953 he was a deputy of the late Constable Charles Deaver of Sanger. Constable Kelley was born in Shawnee, Okla- homa on March 26, 1908. His parents moved to Sanger when he was a small child. He was graduated from the Sanger schools, and during World War 11 was employed by the Sanger High School District as a bus driver. Later he was a rural route carrier in eastern Fresno County for the Fresno Bee. In that job he be- came well acquainted with both the people and the geography of his district, and should be able to serve it well. The new constable of the Firebaugh Judical District is B. A. Traylor. Prior to his election to the post he was Chief ofPolice in Firebaugh. He was appointed to that position in October of 1959, following the death of Chief Fred Zunker. He had been a member of the Fire- baugh Police Department since 1955. He also spent several years with the Mendota Police Department, and therefore, is well acquainted with the people of his district and their prob- lems. Constable Traylor is a native of Arizona, and has lived in California twenty -four of his forty -four years. He is married and has four children. ELBOW ROOM BOB & DOROTHY ADAMS AM 6 -6034 1545 N.

Whitesbridge J. B. HAWKIN'S RANCH �lhe oCcidiej ! det _logetGtep Last summer a group of deputies' wives assembled and organized the Fresno County Sheriff's Office Wives Auxilary, open to wives of all Sheriff's Department and Industrial Farm employees. Though it is not an official part of the department, we are sure that, wives being wives, the organization will be heard from occasionally. (Just kidding, girls.) Seriously, it is quite possible for such an organization, if not operated properly, to cause considerable harm. For that reason there was some concern among the members of the department when the wives announced their intention of forming the organization. However, it now appears that the fears were groundless. There has been noeffort whatso- � � a Officers of the Sheriff's Office Wives Auxilary discuss plans for the organization. From left, standing are Verna Wright, Pauline McKinney, Pauline Willmirth, Alice Christensen Katy Lysdahl, Marty Schoonmaker, and Micky Cunningham. Seated are Lorraine Person and Dixie Collins.

In a commendable spirit of true democracy the ladies chose their officers and leaders with absolutely no regard for the seniority and rank of their husbands. Several important offices in the organization are held by wives of deputies with only a few years service. In addition to the obvious goal of helping department families to become better ac- quainted, the organization has established a charity fund, to be used for the benefit of destitute families found by deputies in the course of their duties. Quite often an officer finds a family stranded without funds, ineli- gible for regular welfare aid, or unable to apply because it is a week end or a holiday. Many times they are decent people down on their luck, sometimes with hungry children, and quite deserving of a few dollars to tide them over until they can make other arrange- ments. In the past when such instances have arisen, it has been necessary to call upon some pri- vate agency for help, or else the officer has provided the necessary funds from his own wallet. Any officer who has ever had occa- sion to help such a family will appreciate the availability of help from an agency connected with the department. The wives have also volunteered their ser- vices to the Relief Association in the publica- tion of this magazine, and a great deal of help has already been given. Mickey Cunning- ham submitted the idea for the cover design, and Emily Poore did some of the illustrations. The group will also help in the distribution of the magazine. The first year's slate of officers included Lorraine Person, president; Dixie Collins, vice - president; Alice Christensen, secre- tary; Edith Pursell, treasurer; Helen Piper, sergeant -at -arms; and Pauline McKinney, publicity manager. The Board of Directors consisted of Mickey Cunningham, Katy Lys - dahl, Marty Schoonmaker, Betty Simpson, and Verna Wright. Permanent committee chair - men were Dorothy Randrup, projects; Vi Hallam, hospitality; and Frances Clapp, ways and means. The Review congratulates the new organi- zation upon its fine start, and wishes it con- tinued success. 134 LIBERTY AUTO SERVICE Complete Auto Repairing Motor Overhaul - Motor Tune -up Broke Service - Electrical Work 1008 C Street Phone AD .3 -0356 ASSOCIATED FARMERS OF CALIFORNIA YOSEMITE RANCHO MOTEL 22 New Units - Soundproof - Refrigeration Tubs — Tile Showers — Swim Pool BA 7 -2775 WALL TO WALL CARPET - KITCHEN AVAILABLE 7117 No. Blackstone - On Hwy 41 MORELLI CONSTRUCTION CO.

In line with our policy in this year's edition of helping our readers become better acquainted with the peace officers who serve them, we present the following photos of officers taking a break. Early last Spring, Captains Conrad Spomer and Fred Koll, of the Criminal and Civil Divisions respectively, were discussing their bowling scores. The discussion resulted in a challenge, an acceptance, and the arrange- ment of a bowling contest between the two divisions. The precontest speculation created so much interest throughout the department that a bowling league was organized. It ran from May through August, and consisted of eight teams, including one from the Industrial Farm. Each division was represented, with those having a surplus of bowlers lending a few to those that were short.

These were the anatomy of a tragedy occurring near Firebaugh which resulted in the first call of 1960 for the Rescue and Recovery Squad of the Fresno County Sheriff's Depart- ment. A small lamb wandered from the flock attended by Jose Louis lnza and slipped into an irrigation canal near Firebaugh early one morning in April. Jose spotted the lamb almost immediately. He was not a good swim- mer, but, true to the tradition of his people that a shepherd must always be willing to risk his life for his sheep, he removed his shirt and waded into the deep water. Ike managed to swim around the lamb, and was soon guiding it toward the shore, when sud- denly he sank and did not reappear. A small boy who had been watching the band of sheep saw the herder sink and ran to give the alarm. A short time later two regular deputies and two members of the Sheriff's Powerboat Squadron began search- ing for the body. After a few hours it was found about ten feet from the spot Jose had first entered the canal. It was learned later that the lamb had scrambled safely to shore.

No matter whether the misfortune occurs on land, on the water, or in the air, the department has a volun- teer unit available with the particular skill and equipment needed. The Powerboat Squad- ron mentioned above is but one of four aux- iliary units affiliated with the department who aid in rescue and recovery. Others are the Sheriff's Posse, the Sheriff's Air Squad- ron, and the Underwater Recovery Unit, a volunteer group of skindivers. These units, either working separately when needed or combined in one operation, are an invaluable aid to Sheriff Willmirth and his staff, and the department is justly proud of these men who donate their time and equipment when called upon. Another phase of the rescue operations of the department, and one with a happier ending, was demonstrated late in the summer of last year when a member of a camping party be- came lost in the foothills of the Coast Range, in the vicinity of Joaquin Murietta Rocks near Coalinga.

The caller stated that another member of the party had left camp at 4:00 p.m. the preceding day to return to his car which was parked at Black Mountain, just a few miles from their camp. He had not been heard from since, and there were indications he had not arrived at his car. Four members of the department were im- mediately dispatched from Fresno to instigate a search for the missing man. Upon their arrival they found the terrain to be impass- able for any vehicle except one equipped with four -wheel drive, and they radioed a request to Fresno for a jeep. While waiting for the jeep to arrive, they were contacted by mem- bers of a fire crew of the State Forestry Service who had a note from the missing man. They had found the note at the scene of a small brush fire they had just extinguished in a nearby canyon. It had been attached to a distress signal pole constructed by the miss- ing man, and it stated that he was lost and it contained a small map showing the direction he was going to follow.

After working their way down the steep walls of the canyon, they found footprints along a little used trail leading up the canyon floor in a northerly direction. They followed the tracks to a fork in the trail. There the tracks were found, going and coming, on both forks of the trail. Apparently the lost man had been unable to immediately decide which fork to follow, and had tried both. It was impossible for the search party to determine, in the darkness, which trail had been used last, or in which di- rection the man was now travelling. A short distance from the fork, both trails crossed rocky terrain where no footprints could be found. The search had started in the afternoon, and continued through the night. Next morning, the Sheriff's Department airplane was dis- patched to the scene, and the crew was directed by radio to the canyon where the last trace of the man had been found.

Late in the day they were suc- cessful in locating him, and directed the ground party to him. The victim was not injured, and, except for hunger and fatigue, suffered no ill effects from his ordeal. His fatigue was shared by the members of the search party, who had spent over twenty -four continuous hours combing the rugged terrain. The happy ending of this operation, and the dry, brushy, setting in which it took place -, contrasted sharply with those of a recovery operation which had occurred a few weeks earlier. The scene was Edison Lake, over a hundred and fifty miles diagonally across the county in the High Sierra. The operation be- gan, as all drowning recovery operations do, with no possibility of a happy ending. This one was made doubly tragic by the fact that it could easily have been prevented. The tragedy began to unfold when five per- sons loaded a large quantity of camp gear into a small boat, climbed in themselves, and set out across the lake. Not far from shore a sudden wave swamped the badly overloaded craft. Four of the five passengers were lucky enough to reach shore; the fifth Bob Dillard DAIRY CATTLE BOUGHT & SOLD AD 7 -1590 4075 S.

The deputies and Orin Snyder, the District Ranger in the area, began dragging for the body about 2:30 p.m., and continued until darkness forced them to halt. They renewed their efforts at daylight the next morning, and continued throughout the day, seriously hampered by the fact the water at that point was about eighty feet deep. Finally, late in the afternoon, the body was recovered. The only brigh spot in the picture was the thought that four more lives could very easily have been lost as a result of a thoughtless act. Adherence to the load capacity as recom- mended by the boat manufacturer would have made this trip the pleasure jaunt it was in- tended to be, and would have kept untold sorrow from the lives of the victim's family. Such sorrow entered the lives of another family in Fresno County last fall, when it reported a fisherman had not returned for an afternoon excursion to Lake Millerton. The family of the missing man reported shortly after midnight that he had not returned from an afternoon fishing trip to the lake.

When he found the victim's pickup truck at the launching ramp, the search got under way. Several boats manned by regular deputies and by members of the Sheriff's Powerboat Squadron were launched, and the party pro- ceeded to the area of the lake where the mis- sing man was known to have a favorite fishing spot. After several hours of searching the missing man's boat was found submerged, with a rope tangled in the propellor. It was assumed that the rope had caused the boat to stop suddenly or swerve, throwing the victim from the boat. The search was continued all that day and through the following day, with no further traces of the fisherman. Joining the search on the second day were four members of the Sheriff's Underwater Rescue Unit, and adiver employed by the State. They dived for several hours in the cold water, covering a large area surrounding the spot where the boat had been found. When their efforts failed to produce any trace of the victim, the search was termi- nated. At the time of writing, the body still TAN DY LEATHER CO.

During 1960 sixteen incidents occurred in the county which required the skills and equip- ment of the Rescue and Recovery Squad of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. These sixteen cases involved the use of ninety -five men, including regular deputies and members of the auxiliary units. A total of approximately eight hundred man hours were spent on rescue and recovery missions. Also untilized in these operations, was one military helicopter from Fort Ord, one state helicopter from the For- estry Service, one private helicopter which the department rented, and one snow -cat. The Sheriff's Posse did not see any action in an actual search or rescue during 1960, simply because no incident occurred in which the use of mounted men would have been practical. However, this unit maintained the interest of its members, and brought honor and recognition to the department and the county in another way. As is their custom, they entered several parades throughout cen- tral California, and won several awards. The Powerboat Squadron held a boat show in February, staged at the Fresno District Fairgrounds. This will, if plans work out, be an annual affair, with proceeds being used to provide emergency equipment and meet other expenses the unit faces in their efforts to promote water safety in the county.

Ray Salmon, deals primarily with the beat the organization covers. Although the unit is re- sponsible for enforcing the Vehicle Code on all rural roads and highways, one of the most impor- tant portions of their beat is the thirty mile stretch of 99 Highway, crossing the county from Herndon to Kingsburg. Not only is it used by thousands of Valley residents each day, but addi- all parts of the nation are influenced in their opinions of enforcement as they travel Central California's "main The following pictures show how the local portion of the highway has changed in the past few decades. 155 Many Valley residents can remember when the above scenes were among the first views of Fresno County seen by the southbound motorist after he crossed the San Joaquin River. This portion of the original highway is still in use as an extension of N. Weber Avenue, running from the community of Herndon to a sand and gravel plant on the river. 4 *#T A few years later this three -lane highway was opened. It was adequate in its day, but within a few years traffic had increased to such an extent that, despite various improve- ment projects, it was unable to safely carry the load. These photos were also taken near Herndon. 156 Central California's Most Complete Most Modern Department Store . ERAS 110 it`. FREE STORESIDE PARKING FOR OVER 1400 CARS! 3636 N.

ARE! sill— On the south side of Fresno, crews are presently clearing a route for another sec- tion of freeway. When completed it will con- nect with the freeway through Tulare County, replacing the highway at left, which, although four lanes and divided, has grade crossings, most of which have only boulevard stop signs rather than lights, and a serious bottle- neck at the undivided and obsolete Malaga overpass, Actually, these pictures and the accompanying information depict nothing of the day -to- day activities of the Highway Patrol. The point we wish to make is this. When the new freeway is completed all the way across the county, it can be either a safer, more pleasant route to travel than the present one, or it can be a route that invites the speed and carelessness that contributes to bloodier and more spectacular accidents. No matter how much money is spent on new super highways, nor how much engineering skill goes into their design and construc- tion, they are still only as safe as careful, considerate driving, and firm, fair traffic law en- forcement can make them. Captain Salmon and his men will take care of the latter factor. The rest is up to the motoring public. ,, LISy FREE - DELIVERY -PHONE AD 7-4171 ARTHUR V.

It is composed of a group of volunteers who receive training in routine police work, and are on call to assist the department whenever an emergency, or other situation calling for an immediate and temporary increase in manpower, arises. Reserve officers frequently work with reg- ular patrol officers on their beats. However, this is considered a part of their training. Their most important service to the depart- ment consists of helping out in situations for which extra manpower is needed, and which are of such short duration it is not feasible to hire extra men.

McKinley AD 3 -0176 FRESNO 169 For instance, last year several reserve deputies helped the department and the Clovis Police Department in handling the Clovis Rodeo crowds. During the Christmas holidays reserve deputies contributed to the regular officers' holiday mood by taking over the job of policing Christmas Tree Lane. They also helped out by providing needed police protec- tion for workers in the Heart Association and Cancer Crusade fund drives, and in guarding the ballot receiving station at the Hall of Records on election night. Many reserve officers are young men plan- ning a career in law enforcement, and are thus gaining valuable in- doctrination and experi- ence. Several regular members of the depart- ment are former Reserves. NICK'S DONUT & WAFFLE SHOP BREAKFAST - LUNCH - DONUTS 1025 Van Ness Fresno AD 3 -9847 ROY B.

Drunken bicycl- ists are sometimes picked up also, and the arrest of a drunken horseback rider would not be without precedent. One evening last fall, however, a deputy found something entirely new in the category of drunken vehicle opera- tors. The suspect was staggering blithely down the middle of a busy street, followed by three small boys on foot. In front of him he pushed a stroller, from which his eighteen month old son waved gaily at passing motor- ists. For a while it looked as if the department would have to employ a hair stylist, at least temporarily, when the radio and switchboard operators began wearing uniforms late last year. The girls had quite a time figuring out hair styles to go with the new hats. Speaking of uniforms, and ending on a serious note, let us urge our readers to be- come familiar with the uniforms our depu- ties wear, so that you won't have any diffi- culty in recognizing a roan as a deputy sheriff. Many private patrolmen have adopted uni- forms closely resembling ours, and as a re- sult there have been several instances of mistaken identity, confusing to the public and embarrassing to the department. Some of these people apparently enjoy and en- courage their being mistaken for sheriff's deputies. If a person contacts you and repre- sents himself, either directly or by impli- cation, as a deputy sheriff, make sure of his identity. If you can't tell by his uniform (people wearing plain clothes are sometimes guilty of such misrepresentation also), ask to see his credentials. if he doesn't produce authentic credentials, notify our department at once.
