In the March issue of the national magazine Look, there
appeared a splendid illustrated and well deserved sketch
of San Francisco's first and only Superior Court Judge —
Theresa Meikle. Following is a copy of the article:
Judge Theresa Meikle
San Franciscans all the way from Nob Hill to the water-
front come to Judge Theresa Meikle with their personal
troubles. Helping wayward girls, the jobless and bewil-
dered isn't a part of the kindly lady's duties as presiding
judge of the city's Human Relations Court. But each
day, after court is recessed, Judge Meikle conducts a
Good Will Hour for all seeking advice. Especially inter-
ested in children, she has been instrumental in building
the Log Cabin Ranch for delinquent boys. Ocean View
School for delinquent girls and Laguna Honda Home for
Babies. In recognition of her long service, Breakjast in
HoUywood radio show will honor Judge Meikle on
March 1?.

COALINGA
(Continued from page 83^
and jack rabbitt meat. Then came the railroad, and next the
saloon as the "inevitable harbinger of civilizing influences."
In 1900 Coalinga was a collection of about 20 houses
scattered along Front Street, facing the railroad tracks.
The town was a trading point for the cattle and sheep men
and for the coal mining colony in the nearby hills. The
output of this mine was meager and the market was slow.
The coal was shipped out on the little railroad to Han-
ford, which was the nearest accessible point. This mine
was soon abandoned, however.
The town's progress was retarded by remoteness of loca-
tion, lack of a water supply, wretched transportation facil-
ities, and unpromising business conditions. However, in
1910 a rich, proven oil field was discovered and Coalinga
blossomed into a modernized city of 5^00 people. It was
a bustling business community, supported by one of the
greatest and latest proven oil fields in the world. A few
years before, the name of Coalinga stood for a wretched
village in the crudest form, little more than a hurriedly
thrown-together mining settlement, surrounded by black
oil rigs, many on land of doubtful productive value. It was
a settlement overrun by reckless men and worse women,
gambling resorts, saloons wild with money, excitement, and
the smell of petroleum pervading everything.
There was little about Coalinga or its surroundings to
attract new, permanent residents. Drinking water was
brought from Hanford in rail tanks, and for years was sold
by the bucket or barrel. Oil supplies were brought from
Los Angeles or San Francisco, and oil transportation was
by horse or mule to the railroad shipping point. Until the
coming of the railroad to Coalinga, this primitive method
of transporation cut deeply into the profits of the oil com-
panies. By 1902 conditions had improved slightly, and 3
years later the boom was on. In 1907 the price of oil had
risen from 18 cents per barrel to 40 cents. The rush came
in 1909 when the price rose to 61 cents. The oil fever
had hit Coalinga.
It is said that the town grew by leaps and bounds over
night. A collection of shacks was thrown together because
the people were too busy making money to build anything
more substantial. Along Front Street, or Whiskey Row as
it was known, congregated the fortune hunters. The faro
table was never idle and the hum of the roulette was inces-
sant. Twenty-dollar gold pieces were used as stakes; money
came easily and went even more easily. Coalinga was the
typical western mining camp; instead of gold or silver, it
was oil. The saloon was as much a fortune maker as the
oil gu.^hcr. The spirit of the gold rush of '49 hovered over
the mushroom settlement. The first comers had the same
adventurous spirit that marked those who rushed to the
Klondike and to the gold fields of California and Nevada.
With the great profits of 1907-09 came also a greater
stability, for throughout the days of the fever substantial
men and corporations had been at work. Development of
the oil field had proven its worth; permanent improvements
in the town began with the construction of better homes
and neat blocks of business firms. It was about this time
that Whiskey Row burned to the ground. The shack era
had passed and a city of brick, steel and concrete buildings,
with sidewalks and paved streets, was developing. In 1907
the population of the town and fields was 2,400; in 1910
it was 10,000.
Chief Griffith, with his small force of ofiicers has given
Coalinga a splendid police service. His men are all well
trained, courteous to all law abiding people and they keep
the bustling little oil city free from criminal depredations
You won't find any city in this western country better
policed by a Department that is modern in every way ti •
make a law abiding community.

uty Sheriff of Colusa County in 1937. After serving a
year he became traffic officer for his native city, serving but
a short time on that assignment when he was made Chief
of Police in the latter part of 1938 serving until 1942 when
he joined the United States Coast Guard.
He became officer in charge of the dangerous cargo con-
trol section for the San Francisco Bay area, under the Cap-
tain of the Port. The dangerous cargo section consisted of
approximately nOO men and S^ officers, concerned mainly
with enforcing federal laws and regulations in the handling
and loading of explosives and other dangerous cargo under
the Port Security Program of the U. S. Coast Guard.
The Chief went on inactive duty, United States Coast
Guard Reserve, with the rank of Lieutenant on March,
1946.
He returned to civil life as Chief of Police of the city
of Williams but on September 10, 1946, having passed the
civil service examinations was made Chief of the Califor-
nia State Police.
Chief Crutcher is President of the Northern California
Peace Officers' Association, and is now in Washington,
D. C, attending the FBI National PoHce Academy. He
is married and he and his wife, Reine, have two children,
a girl, Karen, 8 years of age and a boy, Anson H., Jr., six
months old.
In the story about the Odom murder, the names of
two men whose work had much to do with the solving
of this baffling mystery, were omitted among those being
given meritorious service awards. The ones inadvertently
left out are Inspector Martin Lee and George Heeg of
the Homicide Detail. No police department has two
young men more capable, studious and courageous than
these two inspectors, who since their appointment to the
important Homicide Detail have demonstrated an uncanny
ability to unravel many crimes and bring in and obtain
evidence against suspected murderers. This Journal would
be the last to deprive them of the honors they so justly
deserve. — The Editor.

To enjoy his job and to be worth his salar>% a police
officer must be a man of courage — sterling courage.
Once in a while we find ourselves completely at a loss
