CIVil RlfiHTS tlnd file PEIICE '"ICER Any discussion of Civil Rights is best prefaced with a general histOry of the significant events con tributing to present legislation and the judicial phi losophy affecting the relationship of the government and the governed. In attempting to limit the scope to those areas most directly concerning law enforce ment, such historical references are necessarily few and brief. The importance of Civil Rights to Ameri can citizens is paramount because it involves basic liberties. It is especially important to law enforce ment because it raises the spectre of "police brutality" and abuse of official authority. Historically, the greatest threat to civil liberty has come from the government and, historically, the chief means of meeting this threat has been to define, in documented form, the rights of the people which the government cannot invade. From the Magna Carta of 1215 to the Federal Bill of Rights of 1791, the major controversy has resulted from the interpreta- QUALITY FEE D San Joaquin Valley's Cooperative Feed Mill • OWNED and OPERATED By RANCHERS FOR RANCHERS • If you feed Farm Animals or Poultry, you'll do better with P.P.A.

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

(Bill) Jenkins 255-5897 7 I State can deny a person equal protection of the law. Over the years, several specific rights enshrined in the first ten Amendments as protection against the Federal government have been incorporated, by judi cial decision, into the vague "due process" clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as protection against State government. The Fifteenth Amendment (1870) provides that the right to vote shall not be denied because of race, color or previous condition of servi tude. When the States ratified these three Amendments, Congress was given the power to enforce their pro visions. Two laws were passed; Sections 241 and 242, Title 18, United States Codes. These statutes are enforced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and are among the few fragments of Civil Rights laws passed by Congress during the Reconstruction Era which are still in effect. Prosecution under these statutes has generally dealt with cases of slavery, election law violations and brutality by persons under color of law. Section 242, the one most directly con cerned with the actions of local law enforcement, reads: "Whoever, under coloI' of any law, slatute, ordinance, regulation or Ctlstom, wilfully Stlb forCilasses the Family , ~ I ~-=~15~~ -> ~ . ~~ Stylish Frames • ~Complete Optical Service I ' . -..5' Easy Budget Terms W6AIt Earl G.

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

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

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

Pre ventative measures could be focused on these areas to try to cope with the problems that lead to crime. The report predicts that the proposed $122 million investment in this attack on crime would pay for itself in reducing the costs of crime. Californians are currently paying $600 million a year on police, court, probation and prison programs and can expect this to jump to $900 million within ten years. The most publicized story about the use of a computer by police occurred in New York. A wom an was driving along at a legal rate when suddenly a patrol car ordered her to the side of the road. The woman was baffled, but the explanation was simple. Her arrest was a graphic demonstration of a crime fighting computer program there, dubbed Operation Corral (Computer oriented retrieval of auto lar cenists). The project utilizes a Univac-490 computer. Two patrol cars are stationed a short distance apart and scan the license plates of oncoming cars. These numbers are relayed by the patrolman to a central point where they are fed into the Univac which is stocked with thousands of license numbers of stolen cars, cars bel9nging to drivers with invalid licenses and cars driven by drivers who have ignored traffic summons. The computer makes a speedy match if any of the incoming numbers are on its wanted list and fires the answer back to the patrol man before the car passes the next check point. The woman in the above news story was recorded in the Univac because she had passed a red light months before. She had never answered her sum mons or paid a fine. The move here, and elsewhere, into the "com puter age" is one of the most dramatic efforts to cope with the growing crime rate. The national crime rate soared 13% last year, and since 1958 has increased six times faster than the population.

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

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

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

Blackstone at Shaw 23 on the 8 million searches through 60 million forms made annually by these agencies. Computers are expected to pay for themselves in three ways: (1) reduction of crime costs, (2) collec· tion of thousands of dollars of fines which would not otherwise be collected and (3) increasing thE number of policemen Out fighting crime without reguiring the hiring of additional patrolmen. The computer-eguipped St. Louis police depart· ment estimates that it has "manufactured 75 parrol. men" in terms of man hours saved. St. Louis expects further manpower saving under a new patrol plan to be programmed into the computer. Supplied with voluminous data on complaints, arrests and other items, the computer will analyze the city, block by block, to show which area needs more police on the beat and which have too many. The use of the computer is so new in fighting crime that no one can predict how successful they will be, nor how many uses may be developed through the years for them. Prospects stimulate the imagination and promoters of their use predict a major break-through in curbing the rising crime rate.

In keeping with the fulfillment of this duty, Sheriff Willmirth of Fresno County, has organized a Search and Rescue Team composed of men of the Sheriff's Department and interested county citizens. In order that this unit may fulfill its obligations with a maxi mum degree of skill and economy of operation, a program of training and preparation has been initi ated. It is this planning and training, in keeping with the highest tradition of public service, which assures the public assistance whenever and wherever the need may arise. The men who comprise this Search and Rescue Team are skilled men of varying trades and profes sions from all walks of life. They supply their expert technigues and performance in many phases of search and rescue work and give freely of their time, effort, and eguipment when the need arises. We have men of great skill who provide and operate modified jeeps adapted to give maximum performance in rough terrain and in any weather or road conditions. We have helicopters to provide fast, life-saving evacuation to those stricken or injured who are stranded in the remote mountain areas. They con tribute not only their machines, but also their skill in flying, and their knowledge of the mountains, the numerous canyons and the tracky wind currents.

(Conlil/lled on Nexl Page) 27 CAPITOL MARKET MEAT, GROCERIES & VEGETABLES Children have been known to pass by a stream that offers water, pass by shelter, and in no way take advantage of any natural assistance as an adult would. And we know that a small child may fall into a stream, turn face down, and settle to the bottom without a cry, struggle or sound, and even from a few feet away no one will be aware of a tragedy taking place. What can be the circumstances that cause such a tragedy? What mistakes or errors lead to this mis hap? Possibly a clue lies in the make up of all children. That they are adventurous, curious, and have no thought of danger or doubt in their own capabilities is likely ;I factor. It could begin with a small and innocenr incident which to an adult is often amusing. A child sees a deer and says that he is going to catch it. He may follow this deer for a considerable dis tance, or go in the direction that the deer wenr, in hopes of getting another look at it. Or he may just be an explorer who searches the rock piles, the woods, and wanders farther and far ther away from the camp. A child does not take stock of the terrain, he doesn't watch for a trail, nor cloes he see the clouds forming or the shadows fall ing. And he doesn't know he is lost until he calls out fOl Mom or Dad and there is no answer. He may go to the stream to look for that big fish that he and Dad are going to catch and lean too far over and fall, or slip on a moss-covered rock. So it appears that most of Junior's troubles arise when Mom or Dad are not around. And to keep Junior in sight at all times is a difficult task, for Junior is the first one out of the car when the family arrives at the campsite. While Mom and Dad are unloading the car and setting up camp, Junior is off exploring. It would appear that the best rule to follow is to plan your trip carefully, taking into consideration the terrain and conditions that the child will encoun ter. Remember that many a child has become lost while he was supposed to be in camp and Dad was out fishing, for Junior may have changed his mind and decided to join Dad at the stream. Knowing where the children are at all times is necessary; make sure that they are capable of par ticipating in all the activities you have planned for them and make sure that you are included in their activities. Fishermen are usually people who find a happy and relaxing interlude in their hobby. They set up 28 630 "0" St, SANGER 875-2116 14382 E. Compliments of WM. BOOS & CO. WM. J. & WM. E.

Fishing a stream by jumping from rock to rock or wading the slippery botrom can cause injury and immobilize the strongest of men. It can and does happen. Fishermen have a desire to get to just one more fishing spot, to try one more pool. They will attempt ro traverse a nar row ledge or climb across the most fragile branch of a tree ro get to a better looking fishing spot. He will remain after his limit all day long if necessary, and will go farther down the stream than he intended. When he does realize that the shadows are falling, he knows he cannot get back to camp before dark. He may then figure a short Cut that will bypass the twists and turns of the stream and in taking this short Cut he misses the entire camp ground or gets into another problem he did not COunt on. Ordinarily fishermen who are reported overdue or lost, or who may be injured, have an advantage over other lIsers of the mountains, because his activity logically suggests the place to look for him, near the rivers, streams, or lakes. However, if he leaves the water area ro take a short cut then the search is expanded ro other areas as well and re9uires more men, more time and more of a wait for the lost or injured party. So, if you find yourself caught away from camp at night, don't risk injury or death by a hasty or panicked attempt ro rush b;\Ck to camp. Remain where you are! No one is assured of a safe passage among the rocks and brush that surround the streams even in the day time and at night your chances of such safety are decreased considerably, and if it is necessary to spend the night on the trail, it is not the worst thing that can happen to you. All things con sidered, it may be the best. Fishermen should always have a companion with them. Be aware of the fact that anyone can become ill or injured and that help is just as close at the nearest companion. When the hunters hit the woods the rescue team is the busiest of any season of the year. Hunters camp anyw'here they can park and they hunt game in all directions and in all manners, Some will attempt to go beyond the areas where others are hunting; some will seek the tops of the mountains, and others will seek the canyons and ravines, Some are not capable of getting themselves back to camp, let alone carry the game back. (Continued on Next Page) 29 Hunters exert themselves in a manner that they haven't tried since high school days and learn that in the last twenty years they have developed heart conditions or other physical handicaps that can prove fatal. Or they plan a trip of a few days and have a breakdown of equipment or an unplanned delay in returning and find that the medication they need for diabetes or epilepsy is not to be found at the corner drugstore, because there is no corner drug store. It is more important for the hunter to assist the searchers in finding him than any other person en gaged in mountain recreational activity. For in look ing for a hunter a searcher must look everywhere. A little smoke, a mark on a trail, or a flashing mirror, can assist the lost man in being reached by help. The sight-seer is generally the person who did not intend to get very far off the highway. He didn't prepare for a sudden stOrm and / or mechanical breakdown. Therefore when he has to get out and walk to find assistance, he is ill prepared and often unable to assist himself or others who may be wait ing in the car for him to return to them with help. He may intend to leave his car for only a short walk into the woods and find that his sandals and shorts or light T-shirt are not meant for the brush and rocks that he will encounter. He will find that the heat of the day is equalled only by the extreme cold of the night and if he has injured himself, or become lost, he will have an extremely uncomfortable night away from proper clothing and shelter. Many attempt to travel the secondary roads and find themselves stranded in their cars when the motor overheats and a vapor lock stOps them. Or, perhaps, Orc they get stuck or break an exle. They may have planned their next meal at a lodge or resort, and find themselves miles away on a seldom traveled road, with nothing to eat. Many too wiH attempt a short cut that takes them away from the road, leaving would-be rescuers without a probable starting point. Organized groups that plan excursions into the mountains face a great responsibility. Usually some one is selected to pick the area and to make the arrangements for transportation. Often in the case where the excursion involves youngsters several adults are chosen as leaders. These adults must be the ones to determine the proper equipment neces sary, plan the route of march, and be sure that it is a reasonable endeavor for the smallest ones in the group.

A car should remain at the point of embarkation for an injury can occur within a mile of this point and the waiting car represents help. Anyone taking such a group should notify the Sheriff's Department and/or other public agencies, outlining the route to be followed and the equip ment which is being taken.

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

It is most important to remember to keep your head. Keep in mind that you will be missed and a search will be made for you, in the interim you can survive in the wilderness. If a clear ing presents itself, make smoke and flash some bright, reflecting object whenever you hear an aircraft. A 3 x 3 foot orange ground cloth spread on a rock or in a clearing will be the first object seen by the aircraft; it is light, inexpensive and most valuable to you. Try to conserve your strength and remain under some type of shelter if a storm occurs. Always be alert for the men on horseback, on foot, in airplanes, helicopters, and jeeps-they are looking for you. Give them some sign of where you are or have been, and when you reach water stay there for you can survive on water alone for many days, and you will be found . Most important, before our trip ever begins leave the following information with someone who is re sponsible and who will place it in the hands of the proper authorities if it is needed. The Fresno County Sheriff's Department furnishes forms to cover the necessary information: your name, age, sex, address, and home phone. Also the number in the party, maximum and minimum ages, destination, route to be taken, dates of departure and expected return. Of interest too are the supplies being taken, the descrip tion and location of the cars taken and the name of your family physician. A further precaution is to list the names and addresses of all members of the party. These things will help you and yours to enjoy the vacation wonderland that is here to be enjoyed and will assure you the opportunity to return again and again. P. O .

The Vast majority of these people are careful and law-abiding, but there is always that small percentage who, either through ignorance or carelessness, disregard laws and safety regulations, thereby imperiling their own lives as well as the lives of others. In order to watch over the safety of our mountain guests, the Fresno County Sheri.ff's Department each summer assigns resident deputies to the more popular resort areas. Assisted by the Fresno County Sheriff's Boat and Communications Squadrons, the mountain resort deputies are re sponsible for all phases of law enforcement in their respective areas.

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

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

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

Huntington Lake provides teenage dances three nights a week at Lakeshore Resort. The average Saturday night attendance is between 600 and 800 very ambitious teen-agers. During the month of July, Sgt. Eidson became ill following a rugged rescue operation and returned to Fresno. Deputy Lovgren was at this time trans ferred to Shaver Lake to assume Sgt. Eidson's duties and Deputy Jim Egerer was assigned to the Hunt ington Lake area. During the vacation season a week seldom goes by without the mountain deputies being called Out In the middle of the night to settle a disturbance, (ConJinlied on Next Page) LAKE SHORE RESORT ON HUNTINGTON LAKE ANN W.

Many reports of lost persons were received but all were located with no loss of life. The mountain deputy"s duties are not always re stricted to areas accessible by road. Many times the mountain deputy must mount a horse or put on hiking boots and travel into a remote back country area on a search and rescue operation. This past year it was necessary to pack into the remote Miller's Crossing area to retrieve the body of a drowned fisherman. Another trip involved accompanying the Coroner to Pavillion Dome on Piute Creek to re trieve the bodies of two subjects killed in an air craft accident. The anticipated busy week-end of deer season for 1965 received a big boost when 12 to 14 inches of snow fell at the higher elevations. Deputy Lovgren spent the first night assisting approximately 150 snowbound motorists over Kaiser Pass. The follow ing morning began with several reports of lost deer humers, all of whom were located by Sgt. Bill Young and the Search and Rescue Squadron. To effectively patrol an area as large as our moun tain area it is often necessary to ask assistance from other agencies. Many times during the past summer we were fortunate in obtaining the services of the Southern California Edison Company and the U. S. Forest Service. Mr. Ken Davis, Special Agent for the Edison Company, was always ready and more than willing to provide any assistance requested by the Sheriff's Department. Also working closely with and assisting the mountain deputy were the local constables of the Ponderosa Judicial District, Con stable Jack Sturgess and Deputy Constable Dick Smith. It is through the combined efforts of all these agencies that our mOllntains are a better place in which to vacation and to play. BAKER COMMODITIES, INC. KERMAN DIVISION FRESNO 237-4320 P. O.

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

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

If this produces no results, he has the power to activate the Sheriffs Department Rescue Team, using as many men as deemed necessary, the Sheriffs Scuba Diving Team (for water search), and the Aero Squadron (Heli copter and Plane). All of this COSts tax money, but expense is not considered when a life is at stake. It is now almost 3:00 p.m. and near the end of his tour of duty, and your patrolman returns to the Sheriffs Department, fills the patrol vehicle with gas, removes any papers from it, and replaces any equip ment expended during his shift. He turns his key in to the Operation Officer at the front desk, and fills in a car report, if service or repairs are necessary. The Patrolman's Report is then completed, as well as crime, follow-up, miscellaneous and arrest reports. These are then read and corrected, if need be, by the Lieutenant, his Shift Commander. He can now go to the locker room, change back into his civilian clothes and return home. Although he is home and out of uniform, this doesn't necessarily mean the end of his work day. A large percentage of your patrolmen attend classes at night, in order to be better prepared to serve you, the public. He is also required to report to the Peace Officer's Range one Friday out of each month for Weapon's Training, not only to improve his marks manship, and be proficient with all weapons at his disposal, but to know when their use is necessary. This sometimes proves difficult, for he may be work ing the night shift, or Friday may be his day off. It all boils down to this fact ... your patrolman is proud of his chosen profession and desires to improve himself. The purpose of your Sheriffs Department is to "Protect Lives and Property". This is also the pa trolman's motto. Compliments of M. J. & R. S. ALLEN COALINGA Coalinga JOHN 486 No. 5th St. John Bragg Sr. T. BRAGG Funeral Chapel Coalinga & SONS 935-3338 Gaylord W.

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

The offense of child molest is by statute Penal Code Section 288; and, amongst other elements limits a molest to a child under the age of fourteen years. The majority of these offenses are reported by one or both parents after the parent has first learned of the incident by any number of means, and after various lengths of time have elapsed from the time of the commission of the offense. The age of the victim may vary from pre-school to junior high school level. The offense may have been committed by a member of the immediate family, a relative, a neighbor or friend, or a stranger. There is also the possibility that the offense was not committed at all. It is necessary for the investigator to clarify the situation, obtain the facts, and screen the victim before proceeding with the investigation. The age of the victim becomes very important, for in all cases where there is no competent eye witness, ROBINSON FUNERAL HOME Irvin E. Thomas, Owner-Manager 2345 McCall Ave. -Selma, California 24 Hr.

During the officer's contact with the victim, he should screen the child's ability to make a future COllrt appearance by means of questions which indicate the child has attained the age of reason. These questions are usually good "ice breakers" and tend to assist the officer in establishing a bond with the child allowing further communication to flow freely.

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

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

The utilization of a skilled female officer during the interrogation of the child victim is beneficial to the victim, the family, and male investigator, and often lends readily to the success of the interrogation. The substitution of a female matron without experi ence adds litrle to the total picture. It is the trained investigator, who understands children, approaches them on their level, and allows them to be children, who is well on his way to a successful interrogation of the child .

They record all discovered facts relating to an incident and the action taken; they enable supervisors to exercise control over police operations; and they serve as a basis for statistics for future police action. Fingerprints are the building blocks for an identi fication system, and in the case of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department is one of the primary functions of the identification division. On file are approxi mately 200,000 fingerprint cards which increase about 200 per month. TECHNICAL SERVICES The T~hnical Service Section, under the direct command of Chief Criminologist John E.

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

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

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

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

He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant on July 1, 1952. Pat was born in Kansas City, Mo., but spent his early years in Tacoma, Wash. He began his career in law enforcement as a member of the San Fer nando Police Department. During WWII he served with the POrt ~ecurity Section of the Coast Guard stationed at Tacoma, \Vash. During his career as a peace officer, Pat has main tained a keen interest in the many problems of law enforcement. Perhaps because of his many years as a jailor, his most active interest has been in the re habilitation of the alcoholics who frequent our jail, or "Winos" as these Skid Row denizens are usually called. Pat believes that road camps and farms arc fine for alcoholics as far as they go, but at best they arc only temporary expedients, useful only for get ting the alcoholic sobered up and on his feet. He believes that these people reguire guidance and patient understanding if they are evCI to be restored as useful members of society. In line with this phi losophy he has been active in working with Alco holics Anonymous and other organizations helping these unfortunate people. Pat has also been an active member in the Fresno County Peace Officers Association, freguently volun teering his services as a chef. Those of us who have attended these barbecues will never forget the deli cious chile beans that he cooked. After hanging up his badge and gun, Pat went to work as a salesman selling house trailers and camp ers. Anyone in the market for either of these items should contact him at McCoon Mobile Home and Camper Sales, 4914 N. Blackstone where he is now sales manager. Pat lives at 336 Howard with his wife Lois and son Chris. He says that the thing he misses most since leaving the department are the daily contacts with his fellow law enforcement officers. The second member of the department to retire was Sgt. Gene Predmore who retired on Sept. 24, 1965 after a career of seventeen years with the Sheriff's Department. Gene was a sergeant in the Security Division at the time of his retirement. Dur ing his career as a deputy sheriff, Gene worked in nearly every section of the department, including Vice, Detective, Bailiff, Patrol, Civil, Jail and as a resident deputy in the Huron area. Ge:1e was born on May 17, 1909 in Helena, Mon tana. He attended schools in Seattle, Oklahoma, (C oll/illl/ed Oil N ex/ Page) ROLINDA FEED LOT ROLINDA 268-1421 COMPLIMENTS SUE P.

After graduating from college he wem to work as a civilian employee of the Army Engineers, Western Division. He worked at various projects in the Western States and in the Philipioe Islands. While serving with the Army Engineers he had occa sion to work with CID on several investigations and became interested in law enforcemem. He was tired of traveling around the country and was looking for a place to settle down with his family when he heard that Fresno Coumy was seeking applicants for the position of Deputy Sheriff. He passed the examination and became a Deputy Sheriff on No vember 10, 1948. Gene believes that new officers should have a well rounded education before starting their law enforce ment work. He believes that a college education combined with practical experience and good in service training form an unbeatable combination. He lives at 1404 W. Dayton with his wife Concha.

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

Olive Ave. Fresno LT. DONALD "CHRIS" CHRISTOPHER After serving briefly as a bailiff in the courts of Judge Shepard and Judge Conley, he became a jailor in the old Jail Annex. Chris devoted himself dili gently to his job by attempting to learn every phase of jail procedure. Many new deputies eager for the day when they can investigate crime and get their names in the newspapers, tend to overlook the im portance of the jail as a function of law enforcement, but not Chris. So well was his knowledge and judg ment respected that he soon became known as the "Grey Fox." On July I, 1950 he was promoted to Senior Deputy as sergeants were called in those days and placed in charge of the Jail Annex. He held this position until July 1, 1954 when he was elevated to the rank of Lieutenant. On January 1, 1955 he became Head Jailor in charge of both Jails. When the Pa.trol Division was reorganized 1fl 1956, Chris was placed in charge of this division and was instrumental in instituting the one-man patrol car system and in laying out the new patrol beats. He remained in charge of the Patrol Division until 1961 when he returned to the jailor the Secur ity Division as it is now called. He remained in the Security Division until he was forced to retire on a service-connected disability because of a heart con dition. Chris took a keen interest not only in the technical aspects of the job, but he was also interested in the welfare of the prisoners under his custOdy. He helped many inmates return to society as useful citizens. Although he was generous in obtaining releases and modifications of sentences for deserving inmates woe to the man who failed to live up to his promise and showed up again in jail soon after his release. He was also interested in the problems of the alco holics and worked closely with Alcoholics Anony mous and other groups interested in aiding these (Colltinlled on Next Pal!.e) 91 ALTON SCHMALL unfortunate people. Chris was born on June 6, 1909, and has lived in Fresno County all his life. He attended the Jackson Elementary School, the Longfellow Junior Hi, and the old Fresno Tech High School. He became inter ested in law enforcement while serving as a civilian fire chief at Camp Pinedale during WWII. He and his wife Carol live at 2150 S. Mirine wawa. They have one son, Don Christopher, Jr. For a hobby Chris raises pheasants, doves, <Juail, and other birds. Whenever his health permits, Chris likes to travel. Sometimes he gets lonesome for the old job and comes down to visit his friends at the office. Although he has retired from active duty, Chris still maintains a keen interest in local law enforce ment problems. For new officers entering the de partment, he has some sound practical advice: "Don't assume that you know it all just because you have a better education than some of the older officers or your superiors . . Education is a continuing process and doesn't stop when you leave school. Seek the advice of experienced officers, particularly that of your superiors. They have proven themselves on the job and are usually eager to pass on their knowledge to you if you approach them in the right way." Lt. Christopher will be missed by his many friends and associates at the Sheriff's Officer, and various law enforcement agencies who conduct business at the County Jail. Alton Schmall joined the Sheriff's Department 011 March 1, 1956, as a jailor in the old Annex. He also served as a bailiff and as a patrolman. At the time of his retirement he was a field deputy in the Civil Division. For several years prior to his retirement, Alton served all subpoenas directed to peace officers both in our own department and other law enforce ment agencies, thus he had a wide acquaintance among local police officers. Although he was on 92 the quiet side, he was a loyal and efficient public servant and will be missed by all of us. Al ton was born on April 11, 1929 and has lived all his life in Fresno County. He attended the Biola Elementary School and graduated from the Central Union High School. He became interested in law enforcement while serving in the navy. After leaving the navy, he served briefly with the Post Office De partment before joining the Sheriff's Department. Alton lives at 1432 E. Dakota with his wife Har riet and three sons, David, Gary, and Don. Although his career was cut short because of illness, AItOn says he has no regrets about his years as a law enforcement officer.

Blackstone 104 PAST AND PRESENT LAW ENFORCEMENT IN COALINGA As for human history, there is nothing to tell us when man first wandered into the region. We find evidence in the form of mortars, pestles, arrowheads, beads, a few bones and skulls and various other arti facts, but how early no one knows, nor is it probable that they lived in the region permanently because of the scarcity of water. In 1874, the Americans began to settle in the Coalinga area. Gustav Kreyehagen and his family established the first StOre. Supplies at first were hauled by wagon teams from as far away as Banta, on the San Joaquin River near Stockton, then later from Huron where the Southern Pacific Railroad extended its line in 1877. The oil industry which eventually brought the town of Coalinga into existence had a small begin ning as far back as 1865, when peddlers appeared on the streets of Millerton, the county seat of Fresno County, offering for sale crude oil In gallon cans.

(loYis 105 Coalinga area took place in the Oil City field about 1890. This was located in the foothills a few miles north and east of the present tOwn of Coalinga. In the meantime, however, another industry had de veloped when a coal mine was opened on the west side of Pleasant Valley by an English firm, Robinson ancl Rollins. In 1887 the Southern Pacific Railroad Company extended its line to Alcalde in lower War tham Canyon. A narrow gauge spur was built from the mine and three loading sites known as Coaling A Band C to the main railroad line. Coalinga actually was never meant to be a town, but when oil boomers began congregating at Coaling Station A, the name soon became "Coalinga". The first inhabitant on the site of the present town was M. L. Curtis, who filed a homestead in 1882. With the discovery of oil, Frederick Tibbits built a saloon and Louise O'Neil built a store. It was in Tibbits' saloon that Robbinson and Rollins lost the coal (Contil1f1t:d 0 11 Next Page) HOBBS·PARSONS COMPANY -* WHOLESALE PRODUCE -* H & Tulare Streets FRESNO Phone 237-6111 mines in gambling, which was the reason for the mines closing down. By 1900, Coalinga was a settlement of about two dozen frame buildings surrounded by tents and shanties ; but when Frank Cleary drilled Confidence No. 2 and discovered the West Side pool, the boomers poured into town by the thousands and the settlement erupted into a wild frontier boom town, famous for Whiskey Row on Front Street, where thirteen saloons did a boisterous business. People with beer appetites indulged in champagne. The faro table was never idle. The hum of the roulette was incessant; twenty dollar pieces were stacked up as the stakes. Money came easily and went quickly. Coalinga waS the typical western mining camp but instead of gold or silver, it was oil. Population of towns and fields in 1907 was 2,400. In 1910, it was estimated at about 10,000. In 1900 buildings numbered a score. In 1910 it was 1,000 with 600 in the month of July. Although the people at first lived in shacks, be cause they were too busy making money, they did manage to build a small cement block jail house which is located on Glenn and Fourth Streets. It was built for the purpose of putting drunks in it and when the drunk was deposited inside the jail then it was a race for the door as to who stayed. Such men as John Moffitt, Edward Arnold, Walt Hays and Tom Peterson and others did what they could to preserve peace and order. F. J. McCollum, former owner of the Coalinga Record Newspaper stated, when interviewed in his modest home in Coalinga, that he arrived in Coalinga on February 22, 1906 and during that week at least three men were killed. He can't remember, however, if at any time he locked his doors for fear of burglary. McCollum also stated that before he came to Coalinga, the judge was also the postmaster and the train from Fresno came once a week. Court, therefore, was held on the day the train arrived. The judge would then handle the case through the stamp window and if the prisoner received jail time he would be sent back to Fresno on the next train trip. If a business man had business in Fresno he would let the constable take care of it while he was in town awaiting the next trip back.

For years, Tarkington kept a full grown 200 pound mountain puma who accompanied Jack on various assIgnments. Jack wielded a lot of authority without having to put people in jail. We assum<: that his 200 pound sid<: kick might have had some b<:aring on the author ity bestowed upon Jack.

Whenever the office wanted to con tact an officer in the field, they would activate either the horn or light Or both and the officer would then go to the call box and call in and receive his instruc tions. Today, the officer is in his modern well equipped patrol car and can be contacted immedi ately by radio.

WEBERN. fRESNO AT ASHLAN FREE PICKUP AND DElIVERY THE DEMISE OF THE OLD COURTHOUSE On election day, April 13, 1965, the future of Fresno Counry's 89 year old Courthouse was de cided. This ended over three years of debate and litigation over the fate of the old structure. Two measures on the ballot involving the Court house were overwhelmingly defeated as the voters advised the Board of Supervisors of their decision. The Charter Amendment designed to create a his torical sites commission was defeated by a ratio of 33Y2 to 1, with 14,652 votes favoring and 48,384 votes against the measure. The bond issue for $2.2 (Con/inued 011 Next Page) Building for a better Community Bona,delle Homes Gettysburg at Chestnut 113 million which would have paid for the restoration of the old Courthouse, was defeated by a margin of more than 10 to 1. The final count on the bond issue was 56,858 no votes to 5,328 yes votes. The overall tumour for the April 13th County election was over 47 % of the registered voters. The Fresno City turnout was 680/0. Less than 310/c of those eligible to take part outside of the city voted. Both of the measures on the ballot were defeated in all of Fresno County's 410 precincts. There were a few precincts that showed only slight margins be tween those for and against the measures. It seems that the voters felt that the old and new structures were not compatible and the cost of re habilitating the 89 year old structure was prohibitive. But in another sense, the fate of the old Court house was not decided on that election day. It was decided on many days, in many ways during four or live years before the election. What day? What month? What Year? The following chronological review of the controversy can only offer a hint. Each person made up his or her mind at one of these times -for one of these reasons: CHRONOLOGICAL REVIEW December 18, 1950: Board of Supervisors invited bids for interior alterations (not covering mechani cal, electrical, or structural deficiencies). Bids sub mitted ranged from $697,000 to $802,500 were re jected by Board due to excessively high cost. 1111)' 17,1951: A "pay as you go" policy for capital building programs was established by the Board of Supervisors with the creation of an Accumulative Capital Outlay Fund. (As a result of the County's adhering to irs "pay as you go" policies, rhe County became free of debt on June 30, 1964.) October, 1952: Board of Supervisors requested a structural engineering survey. The sULVey, when submitted, presented an analysis of Courthouse con dition; included comment "as an earthquake-resident structure, the Courthouse is not safe and would be a poor risk in the event such would occur of any medium nature." 1958: The County engaged the services of a manage ment consultant firm (EBASCO) to evaluate the long term capital expansion needs of County general government. lal/llm} 7, 1959: City of Fresno's Fire Marshal made an unscheduled, unsolicited and complete inspection (Con/inNed 011 Next Pa.ge) EVA & DARREL HAYES ROWELL CASH GROCERY Your Friendly East Fresno Grocery 3796 E. -Harvey at 8th SI. 237-2774 McDONALD'S HAMBURGERS Still Just 15c Service In Seconds 4505 Kings Canyon Road Blackstone 8< Shields Shaw & Fresno KUCKENBECKER TRACTOR CO.

Church Ave. 268-4203 Wagner and Partners, explained the custom ot the roof-tree ceremony as follows: 'The events of this occasion had their origin in a time before recorded history when man was envel oped in a world of good and evil spirits. Whether it was first the worship of the tree from which he built his house, or for the appeasement of tree spirits, is not known-we only know that the custOm has been kept alive and has gone basically unchanged for many centuries'. 'This custom has been to raise a tree to the highest point of a building when the last roof timber was in place. The people of Europe often replaced the tree with a symbolic branch or a decorated wreath of evergreen. The English added decorations from FEBRUARY 1965-The framework; begins to assume a definite person ality with the addition of certain trims and the concrete sunscreen on the sides of the building. their May Trees, or May Poles. This gave the gaily colored ribbons bright flowers and colorful tokens of their expected harvests. The Pilgrim Fathers exercised the roof tree custOm in one form or another and since then the men in the construction industry have kept the custom alive during all periods of his tory. Only the original meaning has been forgotten . 'Today, the ceremony has widespread recognition particularly applied to high rise steel framed struc tures. When the building is 'topped out', that is to say when the last piece of steel is placed in the top most position, an Evergreen tree is hoisted as a cele bration of that achievement. So it is that we con tinue this custom by raising a roof tree to the high est point of the new Fresno County Courthouse.' 125 237·9993 PLUMBING DRAPERIES "Mac" McQuone COMMERCIAL MFG. & SUPPLY CO. _ LATHING CO.

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

"One guy got stabbed outside school Monday. Two guys are in the hospital. This center has helped (get rid of) the fighting though. It's better, bur we still have it." Last October, when a new outbreak of "rumbles" threatened, project youths estimated they "cooled about 40 percent of the kids who were going" by talking them into staying home. Problems come to a head But problems that have been simmering came to a head in March. The problems are not unique. They are similar to those potentially facing all cur rent efforts for new techniques with youngsters. In March, narcotics addicts "became very active in the area," according to project director Joseph Maniscalco. Tension was high. A number of youth ful, after-hour "invasions" of the Park Slope center occurred. The converted funeral parlor was closed, leaving only the two subheadquarters in the Red Hook and Gowanus neighborhoods. And the subdirector of one of these just resigned to take another position. Muffled community criticism broke into the open. Some members of the South Brooklyn Improvement Council charged mismanagement of the youth proj ect, poor physical security of the Park Slope center, shrinking of the size of the program, and insufficient community representation on the council's committee guiding the project. Much of the problem, according to a spokesman for · the Office of Juvenile Delinquency, involves "a clash of personalities." Says James S. McNeely, president of the South Brooklyn Improvement Council: "The three areas selected for the headquarters were really representative of the three ethnic groups involved." He would have preferred one single oper ation, he adds where there would be more inter change between previously hostile groups. Mr. Maniscalco counters that in view of deeply rooted hostilities in the area such a program would have been unworkable. There has been little community appreciation or the scope of the challenge the program faces, he indicated, sighing, "They want an answer in a minute." But the director said he welcomed community interest, even in the form of resentment. "We are 133 helping people who previously expressed their Con cern," he said. Now, 12 more youths have been hired since the "tension" subsided. Expanded summer camp and study programs, plus prospects of a new headquar ters, indicate a summer of busy activity. Despite a poor self-image on the part of some youngsters (last winter a youth told Mr. Manis caIco, "You couldn't make less than $150 a week, or you wouldn't stick with a bunch of slobs like us" ), the $15,000-a-year director says he sees great prom ise in the youth-leadership project: A high-school girl in the project stopped taking drugs and now is writing poems and articles on their danger. Another girl who graduated from the project and found a job as a secretary wrote back: "Don't ever give up that work program." Dance routine practiced Other cities wrestle with the problem of youth in need of help. In Chicago, two weeks after a boy was shot and killed by young ambushers, a Negro cab driver sat in a massive traffic jam and sighed: "They can put all the money they want to into these new programs for kids. But if they don't reach the daddy and the mammy, they're in trouble. "You don't walk into a cage with a grown-up lion and make him do tricks. You got to start when he's young. These people don't want to work. Their parents done give them no restrictions, no discipline: no interest." He said that welfare had been the ruin of his people. That evening in Chicago's gray and teeming West Side, a group of Negro youths practiced a dance routine for a coming citywide arts festival. Downstairs, Danny Robinson, ex-professional fighter, was introduced to a visitor as a neighbor hood adult aide in Chicago's gang-battling STREETS -short for Socialization, Training, Recreation, Edu cation, and Employment Technical Services. "Since last year, I got 60 kids to go back to schoo!' All of 'em was dropouts, and not one of 'em has quit yet," he said rather proudly. Mr. Robinson spoke in the busy and noisy BBR (for boys, brotherhood, and republic) Youth and Training Center in Chicago's heavily Negro Lawn dale section. Population density: 23,000 per square mile. School dropout rate: about 50 percent. In a crime-heavy neighborhood, local adult and (ContilJlled on N ext Page) I MADISON BUTANE SERVICE Hardware -Plumbing -Sport Goods 4032 W .

Blackstone 222-0949 ( t. a s n "I er In ga ch TI la! CO len kO 1 era youth aides have been hired to help "street-corner kids" get into meaningful activity. The aides work under supervision of professional street workers. Sixteen-year-old Tom (not his real name) used to be considered unmanageable almost everywhere he went. Once he was found in the nature room at the BBR stabbing a turtle. Another time he stood in the middie of an empty room at the center and just screamed at the top of his lungs. A turn for better But something remarkable happened recently. His manner, appearance, and behavior took a noticeable turn for the better. It happened soon after he began to receive a regular pay envelope for a new coat checking job made available at the center. His mother told Doris Lomax, program director that suddenly Tom no longer is completely unman ageable. Asked if programs like those of the BBR and STREETS are starting to change the delinquency pic ture, a district commander of Chicago police said: "Only time will tell." Comdr. George T. Simms frankly wonders wheth er giving rewards to "those who are bad" takes away incentives from "those who are good." ''I'll tell you this though," he added. "Certain gangs that normally shoot at each other whenever they meet actually have attended a party together. The Vice Lords and the Roman Saints had a dance last Saturday night! How long it wi!] last I'm afraid to say." He spoke against a background of youthful vio lence in which the weapons have progressed from knives to shotguns. But the help-youth programs are spreading. Fed eral grants are the spark behind most of them. In Scottsdale, Ariz., some 40 Pima Indian youths have been sent to a tribal "group residence" during the past year. Some of them come from troubled homes. A few from the county courts. In San Francisco, gang leaders are being paid to become subprofessional youth workers who work with street gangs toward constructive ends. School dropouts have worked as teacher helpers in six New York schools in part of that city's massive Mobilization for Youth Project. Programs ex,panaed In Philadelphia, a special psychiatric clinic sees sexually delinquent girls and, most important, their families. The idea may be tried in New York with underprivileged Negro girls. A Denver project is comparing treatment of juve nile glue sniffers: Regular probation officers see one group in a court setting. Another group is counseled by supervised, non-profressional neighborhood workers in a street setting. Better understanding between police and com munity has become the subject of two major univer sity-conducted studies subsidized by federal grants. The New York City Police Youth Investigation Unit referred some 8,000 youths to social agencies last year. (There were 30,000 arrests of 16-to 21 year-olds.) Narcotics education programs have been expanded to include councils of neighborhood resi dents at the precinct level. Four community-relations institutes are planned this year. And 1,000 deprived New York youths-mostly dropouts -face an unprecedented opportunity to pursue police careers. The new recruitment plan was announced by New York's Mayor John V. Lindsay.

Olive Fresno 1276 N. lst Street 237-2825 136 At the same time, New York Police units have been reorganized to more effectively patrol areas where youngsters are active. In the training field federally subsidized seminars for professional youth workers are being held fre quently from Boston to Honolulu. But not all community-oriented delinquency pre vention programs are federally subsidized. Arlington, Mass. (population 50,000) became one of the first Massachusetts towns to form its own Dep.mment of Youth Service, with three full-time professional case workers. With half the $29,000 budget paid by the state, the agency costs each Ar lington homeowner about 15 cents on the property laX rate. Massive obstacles faced But all programs-federal or local-face massive obstacles. Dr. Howard E. Freeman, director of research at the Florence Heller Graduate School for Advanced Studies in ~ocial Welfare at Brandeis University, told a recent civic meeting on crime that it would take two generations, not to cure delinquency, but just to find its causes. Like most other social scientists, he pleads for more research, with evaluation built in. Milton Rector, director of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, says the biggest chal lenge is "trained manpower-people" to meet the increased needs. Mr. RectOr says the most critical trained-man power shortages today are 10 the rural areas away 137 from the large urban centers and univerSities. The influence of federal programs and money can be seen at almost every level of delinquency pre vention. The federal Office of Juvenile Delinquency, with a budget of $6.5 million this fiscal year, is committed in part to finding out what changes in society's insti tutions might be necessary to get at the root causes of crime. Federal officials admit they face tough problems. "Unless you change the system, you certainly are going to make delinquents," says Bernard Russell, director of the Office of Juvenile Delinquency. For example, he speaks critically of school policies which exile assaultive children to "social-adjustment schools." Too often, he says, these schools breed dropours and delinquency. At the same time, he says, the federal government could make better use of available state services than it has thus far. Indeed, frequent lack of adequate evaluation of projects, lack of interoffice coordination in Washing ton, relatively little attention paid to rural crime until recently, "antagonisms" of philosophy between some of those involved in prevention and treatment -all these are obstacles to effective anticrime action. Other obstacles are less technical, more SOCIO logical. "Conflicts between generations now are often called delinquency. What does a very mobile society have to learn to put up with?" asks Dr. David C. TW2.in, director of the National Institute of Mental Health. This institute will spend between $9 million and $10 million this year on delinquency-research proj ects, many of them in a community setting. Much of the thrust is in identifying types of individuals who commit antisocial acts. Delinquency is a very broad term, experts caution, and there is no one treatment for it. Dr. William C. Kvaraceus, an internationally rec ognized youth authority and director of youth studies at the Tufts University Lincoln Filene Center, cur rently is conducting studies in five New England towns on tolerance to deviant behavior. "How many centimeters does long hair have to be before you feel negative about it?" he asks young sters, .parents, and teachers. The answer of a 15 year-old is not likely to be the same as that of a 40-year-old; he notes. (Con/inNed on Next Page) s TED SMITH EQUIPMENT CO. TARPEY DRUG STORE Truck Parts 4127 N.

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

Cortland 229-4502 • A gay June outing became a day of horror for the surviving members of the families involved in the sinking of a boat in Pine Flat Lake this year. The sinking took the life of Mrs. Bernice Martin of Fres no. Others were saved only because the boat sank near the shore. The loss was all the more tragic in that it should not have happened, and might well not have hap pened if the basic rules of boating safety had been observed. Investigators at the scene found that a 10 foot flat-bottom fishing boat, capable of carrying twO persons safely, had been overloaded with nine per sons at the time of the sinking. It was unregistered and had no Coast Guard approved life preservers aboard. Because of the increased use of our lakes and rivers by summer boating and fishing enthusiasts the great est possible caution should always be exercised. The following rules for boating safety have been com piled for this magazine, and the deputies who see the tragic results of failure to com ply with them urge their observance by all who wish to keep their family boating excursions safe and enjoyable. FRESNO COUNTY BOATING SAFETY All boats must be registered and numbered in accordance with the provisions of the Califor nia law, except boats propelled solely by oars or paddles, boats 8 feet or less in length pro pelled solely by sail, and those registered in other states using California waters for 90 days or less. To register a vessel, the owner must make application to the California Division of Small Craft Harbors or to one of its authorized regis tration agents on forms furnished by the divi sion. In 1965 there were 357,000 California small craft registered with the Division. An increase of 33,000 over 1964. There were 436 California pleasure boat ac cidents in 1965, resulting in 105 killed and 128 injured. The major causes for these accidents were capsizing of the boat, explosion and fire, collisions and skiing. In order to prevent some (Con/infled 011 Next Page) I 141 C. M. SHAW, CONTRACTOR Remodeling & Commercial Building 436 W. Twain 227-3743 of these tragedies, the following suggestions are listed: 1. Obey all laws, rules and regulations when engaged in any boating activities. 2. Do not overload your boat.. 3. Have a Coast Guard aRproved life pre server for each passenger. 4. Observe all right of way rules and in many cases relinquish the right of way when it is obvious the other boat is un able to do the same. Be courteous even though you are right. 5. Keep an approved fire extlinguisher on board at all times. 6. Be sure your boat has proper lighting facilities for night operation. 7. Do not water ski or aquaplane in a man ner to endanger safety or property of others. 8. Do not stand up in the boat, sit on the deck or gunwales while the boat is in motion. 9. Observe all speed laws pertaining to the body of water you are on. 10. Watch for rocks, floating logs, debris, swimmers, fallen skiers and stalled boats. 11. Be sure the operator of your boat has the ability to use good judgment at all times. 12. Do not encourage or allow "smart alec" persons to operate your boat. 13. Do not ski or boat too close to fishermen in small boats or other small craft. This comes under the heading of peaceful co existence. 14. Watch for marker buoys and adjust to the correct speed. 15. Avoid skiing or fast boating in coves, narrow channels or river mouths. 16. At all times use common sense, courtesy and caution. SCOTT BROS. COMPLETE DRYWALL SERVICE 4007 E.

AUTO-STATIS is an au(Omatic data processing system which allows the centralized storage of infor mation on vehicles scolen or wanted anywhere in California-and, to an increasing extent, anywhere in Nevada, Arizona, Washington and Oregon as well, plus thefts handled by the National Auto Theft Bureau's Pacific Coast, Western and Texas Divisions. More imporcant, the system permits the immediate retrieval of this information by any agency directly connected to the master computer memory. California Highway Patrol Headguarters in Sacra mento is focal point of AUTO-STA TIS. Here is located the computer unit, in whose whirling mem ory discs is recorded every vehicle theft, every wanted vehicle, and every stolen license plate, as well as stolen, identifiable vehicle partS, repossessed vehicles and impounded vehicles.

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

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

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

Most contacts by persons with perverted twisted minds who commit this type of crimes is with chil dren engaged in normal play activities in the play grounds or along the streets of our residential areas. The case of an innocent child who has fa llen vic tim to one of these molesters is one of the most heartbreaking incidents an officer is called upon to handle. It is seldom possible at the time to com pl etely assess the physical and emotional harm which is done to a child subjected to an experience of this type. Because it does occur, and occurs daily on our streets the Sheriff periodically brings the problem and the defenses against molesters to the attention of children and their parents through the use of posters, letters or pamphlets distributed 111 our schools . This year the sheriff has again prepared a letter for parents reminding them of the rules they should impress upon their children about what to do when approached by strangers. He accompanied it with posters prepared by the F. B.I. Both the letter and poster are reproduced in this issue. Lettef to aleft parents to dangen of and defemes agaimt child molesters. A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM YOUR lAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO: THE PARENTS, CITIZENS AND CHILDREN OF O UR COMMUNITY The attached poster is furnished by the F.B.I., in cooperation with the Fresno County SheriH's Deportment, to remind parents and children of some of the rules for the prolection of our children against molesters. Distribution is being made through the Sequoia Council of Boy Scouts of America by the Scouts in our community. To the parents: This poster is designed to create on interest for the child. W e suggest that your child color it and you explain the lesson that it contains. We would further remind you of some of the important facts to teach your children. 1. Insist that they report any incident such as this poster portrays immediately. 2. Teach your children that the low enforcement officer is their friend and to go to him for help anytime they are in trouble. Ask older children to help protect younger children. Caution your children that they must never trust a stronger, especially while at ploy or while going to and from school, playground or on errands. 3. Know where your children are at all times. To the children: 1. Never accept an ything from a person you do not know. 2. Never get into a cor with any stranger or go any place with him. 3. Always report any stronger who bothers you to your parents, teacher, low enforce ment officer or any adult that you know. 4. Always Iry to remember what the stronger looks like and how he is dressed. 5. Always get the license number of his car. Write il on a paper or on the sidewalk or scratch it in the dirt with a stick. 6. If you see a playmate get into a strangers cor, copy the license number and notify your parent, leacher or low enforcement officer 01 once. We heartily solicit your cooperation in this program for the protection of our children. Very Iruly yours, Melvin A. Willmirth Sheriff-Coroner NOTE: If there are no children in your home, please attempt to pass this on to a family with children. 151 LEVNARD LARSONCompliments EL BAJIO CAFE RICHARD J.

Such quasi-legal bodies are staffed by members of the citizenry, appointed by the legislative representatives of the city or county government, and enjoy official status within that par ticular political subdivision. When persons who run afoul of the law cry "police brutality," the board members convene and evaluate the allegation. Evi dence and testimony, presented without the strict qualitative requirements of regularly constituted courts, is examined and a decision rendered as to the guilt or innocence of the officer involved. A de cision adverse to the officer can result in his removal from employment, regardless of the findings of offi cial judicial proceedings. To a lesser degree, the officer may be suspended from his position without salary for a specific period of time. Such punitive measures are in addition to whatever other jeopardy the officer is placed in under applicable statutes and departmental proceedings. Advocates argue that "police brutality" does exist and the only way the people can protect themselves is through the establishment of a civilian police re view board, empowered to take positive action against the officer in all cases deemed valid by that bo·ard. Overlooked entirely is the fact that the public has recourse against abusive police aCtions or police invasion of civil rights in a number of judicial and administrative ways. The F.B.I. is required, under Title 18 of the United States Codes, to investigate accusations HYDRO CONDU1T CORP. 4150 No. Brawley 268-0945 Fresno DERMER'S LIQUOR STORE liquors -Wines -Beer -Tobaccos WE DELIVER 102 N. Broadway at Divisadero 264-1502 ISS of wrongful aCts or misuse of authority by public officers acting under color of law, when such acts infringe upon the rights guaranteed in the Con stitution. Violations include the illegal restraint of the person; forced confessions; beating or otherwise intimidating a prisoner ; using ques tionable interrogation tactics; and interfering with the free exercise of speech, press, religion and assembly. The county grand jury may hear arid investi gate charges of brutality or abusive activities on the part of the police agencies, and return indict ments. The district attorney is authorized to take action in criminal courts against officers who have violated the law. The head of the police agency involved is certainly competent to hear the accusation and initiate appropriate proceedings against mem bers of his organization guilty of abusing the power they possess by virtue of law. Unfortunately, "police brutality" does occur, but the number of incidents are few and far between. The public has far more protection against this type of behavior than are provided against burglary, rob bery, rape and murder. Valid charges of injustice involving law enforcement officers have been dealt with swiftly and severely, resulting in punishment ranging from dismissal and imprisonment to financial judgements against the officers responsible. In re cent years, the term "police brutality" has assumed a more distorted meaning than the "use of excessive or illegal force" by a law enforcement officer.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS REAL ESTATE lOANS -BROKERS 1254 N. Abby 268-7641 would include obscene language or derogatory terms directed by an officer tOward minority groups. Thus, what would normally be considered discourtesy when indulged in by others becomes "police bru tality" when voiced by an officer. Vulgar terms or insulting language used by a law enforcement officer in the performance of his duty is to be deplored, and is a reflection on his personal character and of the department he represents. However, by no stretch of the imagination can such conduct be construed as "police brutality" or an abuse of official authority. The term has become a facade by individuals and groups seeking to curtail the necessary power of the police to render them ineffective in coping with illegal behavior, or to utilize that power in achiev ing their own ends. Such persons would sacrifice the police on the altar of expediency despite the inevitable result: anarchy. Many groups feel a deep sense of frustration and antagonism toward law enforcelllent'S apparent lack of suppOrt in the fight for social and economic egual ity. Such emotional patterns could be reflected in the findings of a review board, when examining the alleged actions of an officer in the performance of his sworn duty. Ignored is the fact that the police have no authority to correct social injustice, nor should that power be extended to them. Duly con stituted courts and the American system of justice is the foundation of democracy: to place the awe some power of judicial j1udgement in the hands of law enforcement assures establishment of the police state all free peoples abhor. No group detests illegal or brutal police activities more than the police themselves. Most brutal or sadistic officers are eliminated during recruiting pro cedures or as a result of performance evaluation after employment. By far the greatest force behind increased standards of law enforcement have been the police agencies, despite the protests of special interest groups. The fierce desire for self improve ment could only falter under the control of an extra judicial civilian police review board of political ap pointees, no more gualified to understand the prob lems or judge the actions of the police than they would be to pronounce judgment on the action of doctOrs, lawyers or judges. The civilian police review board dates back to 1930 and is an invention of the Communist Party of the United States to aid them in their efforts to undermine the effectiveness of the police by taking control from elected officials and placing it in the LIQUOR JUNCTION SPORTING GOODS "House of Fine Spirits" AM 4-9267 5065 N.

Dr. Bella Dodd, former member of the Communist Party who defected in 1948, stated: "That by this means they intended to mete Out harsh and arbitrary punishment against the police until they were intimidated into a be numbed, impotent and non-functioning agency." The origin of such boards has since become hazy and the citizenry, including politicians, have taken varying stands both for and against. The city of Rochester, New York, established a police advisory board whose authority extended to investigating and making recommendations on complaints of "police brutality." The New York Supreme Court recently stripped them of virtually all their power, ru~ing that the board's authority was illegaL that the only right possessed by them was to listen to complaints and then pass them on, without 'comment, to the chief of police. In a ten page majority decision, }LlStice Jacob Ark wrote: "The functions of the board have become in tertwined with the operation of the police de partment. As the board seeks to do the things that can only be done by the police commis sioner, and because the board has an official Status with the city, the police officer's rights were violated by the board." Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation stated in January, 1965: "The average law enforcement officer today is already saddled with greater responsibilities than he can fully comprehend and capably dis • charge. Society demands of the officer total com pliance with the mandates of the law: however, it has yet to give him a clear Cut picture of what the law demands and what it forbids. Even those learned in the law cannot agree with cer tainty what powers the police officer possesses. Many times his actions are adjudged wrong by the thinnest of margins in split decisions by the highest courts. He should not be subjected to ridicule and penalized in salary, promotion and personal career based on decisions reached by outside overseers to whom professional law en forcement and public protection may be of sec ondary interest. Experience has shown that high selection standards, outstanding training, real istic pay scales and advancement based on merit are fundamental principles of good police serv (Contiulled 011 Next Page) 157 REP'S 41 MOTEL 43 Deluxe Units-222-8623 REP'S HOUSE,.DF RIBS Barbecued Spare Ribs, Steaks & Chicken Cocktail Lounge -Piano Bar 3874 N.

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

This work eliminator records all in and out going calls between the office and the cars in the field. Instead of listing all the movements of the cars on a log, the tape recorder does the work of keeping tabs on the vehicles. The recorder is automatically activated at the beginning of each conversation and stops when it is finished. The new radio console has twO control panels, one to be used in case of emerg~ncy to coordinate law enforcement work between other agencies. The unit is capable of contacting any police or sheriff's department in the state by simply dialing in on that agency's channel. On this intercity system the Fresno County Sheriff's Office can dial other counties direct -~---. in case of emergency or when important information is needed. Each vehicle in the field is represented on the console with a panel of switches and lights. When the light is green, the car is available; amber, it is on call; and red. it is Out of service and not available for a call. The all transistor radio is located in a glass en closed office. A deputy from the parrol division handles the actual contact with the public by tele phone or in person. He turns his information over to the radio operatOr working beside him who relays the information to the cars in the field for appropri ate action. This can all happen in a matter of seconds from the receipt of the first bit of information by the Sheriff's office and a deputy can be on his way to respond to a call for help. The new radio equipment is of the latest design and gives much clearer transmission with less static between all units.

They are expected to per form the duties necessary to maintain sanitary and orderly quarters, and in addition, various recreation projects are provided. Last year a useful project was initiated for those who wished to participate. Material was provided by the inmates trust fund for the purpose of making clown dolls. This project was started in February of 1965 and by December of the same year approxi mately one hundred and eight-five dolls were com pleted. The recreation room is equipped with a modern sewing machine, which enabled the inmates to cum out finely finished clowns. Anire was made for the clowns and each one had a different and colorful coscume. At Christmas time the clowns were donated to the children at the Nutritional Home. In addition to bringing a measure of delight and pleasure to a number of children, this project also provided numer ous inmates with a worthwhile expenditure of their time while being confined.
