( Continued from Page 1 3 )
Jailors, Deputies William Cowan, Charles Ridgeway
and O. M. Gastineau, George Matteson and Harsch
Bayes; Investigator Charles Ahernathy, Civil Deputy
Durvvood Simms and Special Deputy Charles Coffee.
Of the feminine employees the following are noted, all
appearing in the picture on the pages of this issue of the
Police and Peace Officers" Journal uith the excep-
tion of two:
Mrs. Lorraine Smee in the criminal department; and
Mrs. Elinor McArthur (not in picture) , Bertha Cessna
(not in picture), in the civil department; Mrs. Margaret
Gastineau, identification secretary, and Miss Edith Quinn
in charge of the "wants'" in the Identification Bureau.
The following were unable to get in the photograph:
Matrons. Mrs. Nova Davis, who is a real old timer,
having entered the service under former Sheriff George
T. Davis in 1914; and Mrs. Lucy Outland.
Deputy Jim Elliott, identification deputy, who took the
picture. He is a recent appointee after doing a long hitch
in the U. S. Army and has developed into a fine finger-
print expert.
Sheriff Hogin has resident deputies stationed around
various districts of Stanislaus count)' — Lee Wharhurton
at Salida; Ned Sullivan at Waterford; C. J. Crawford,
formerly of the Stockton Sheriff's Office, at Wesley, and
Riley Morse, Modesto District Airport.
The Sheriff's office has a fine two-way radio broadcast-
ing set-up. It is under the direction of Technician Ray
Gada. who built it us from the early days when that form
of communications was in the same category' as the auto-
mobile some fifty years ago. "Just a fad," they said.
Ray Gada is a young man who knows all there is to
know of this method of communication and he occupies
a high place among the members of the Northern Cali-
fornia Police Communications Association of which he
i; a charter member. He services all the Sheriff cars and
police cars.
Stanislaus is a county of some liOO square miles and
like many of the others of the i^8 counties most of it is
unincorporated and it is the duty of the Sheriff and his
force of deputies to maintain the law. Sheriff Hogin has
done this for 2 ^ years in a manner that has kept his native
county free from any crime outbreaks. Such crimes that
do occur are cleared up by arrests and convictions.

YOU NEED
BETTER WIRING
for Today's
ELECTRILIVING
Maybe you still call your electric bill
a light bill! But when you think
about it that isn't so. This is the day
of electriliving. Every hour of the
day and night, electricity is at work in
your home. The refrigerator and the
clocks are always plugged in. Your
washing machine, iron, mixer, vacuum
cleaner, lamps, radios, heaters and
small appliances all in turn put more
electricity to work. Ordinary house
wiring designed for lighting cannot
deliver full electric power for these
many electric servants in the home.
Modern electriliving calls for Ade-
quate wiring . . . and that means larger
size wire (at least number 12), and
plenty of circuits and switches to carry
the working load. Insist on Adequate
Wiring when you remodel or build a
new home.

TULARE'S CHIEF KINDER
January, 1948
Chief Carlton S. Kinder was born in Springfield,
Missouri, June 29th, 1910, and attended school in that
city until his folks moved to Coalinga, California in 1917.
After living there for a time the family moved to Tulare
in 1922. The Chief continued his schoolmg in Tulare
in March of this year and let it be pointed out that he
needs these e.\tra men badly.
The Department has two motorcycles and two patrol
cars on duty at all times. The radio station call letters
are WPDA and the station is hooked up with Sheriff
•>«.
Chief C. S. Kinder
C.\PT. Leon Epps
ScT. Ivor Stubbs
and after graduating from high school entered the radio
business, until he joined the police force in June, 1940,
as a patrolman. Chief Kinder has held all ranks in the De-
partment and was promoted to his present position April
1, 1945. He was married to the former Alta Coffelt of
Exeter, on March 17, 19.^2. The couple have three lovely
girls named Louise, Marlene and Sharon. The oldest girl.
Louise, will enter high school this year.
At the present time there arc fifteen men on the De-
partment, although the city budget calls for seventeen
officers. The Chief will have his full complement of men
Ben Guar's office of Tulare county and the Highway
Patrol. The Patrol cars are equipped with two-way radio
but the motorcycles have only receiving sets at this time.
There is also a very efficient Juvenile Department organ-
ized in 194? and headed by Captain Epps.
Ten of the Chief's men have served with the U. S.
armed forces such as Sgt. Ivar Stubbs who served in the
Navy as a non-com and was an instructor at the San
Diego Radar school from 1942 until his discharge in 1945.
Chief Kinder has a wide variety of interests, among
them aviation. He owns and pilots his own airplane.

mission of four mobile channels on one repeater transmitter
with the abihty to select any one channel.
This idea is new in the police field, but has been used
for some time by the military services and the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
A major problem caused by hilly terrain, particularly
in the Richmond district, center of the county's popula-
tion, was also overcome by means of the repeater system.
Early operation of the station quickly disclosed a
"shadow" area in the Richmond-San Pablo district, which
prevented mobile units from reaching the Martinez home
station through the Mt. Diablo repeater because of the
intervention of the Berkeley Hills and El Sobrante Ridge.
As a result, a repeater was placed on Nichol Knob in
Richmond, which picks up mobile communications, repeats
them to equipment on Tank Farm Hill on Highway 40
near Pinole, where they are picked up and relayed by
telephone line to Martinez.
KQCE also has a standby station in cases of failure
and a mobile emergency truck transmitter. The standby
station, which is entirely independent of the parent sta-
tion, has the call letters of KRBS, which uses either com-
mercial or emergency power, the latter provided by a
gasoline engine driven generator. The same power plant
is equipped to supply emergency lights to the county jail.
The mobile transmitter truck, only recently placed in
operation, has a seven and one-half killowatt power
plant and carries the call letters KNHL The truck, with
a trailer carrying the power plant, is also equipped with
flood lights and a public address system.
The sheriffs office has complete shop facilities and lists
on its technical staff Leon Pate and Carrol Messier. Pate,
a member of the Naval Reserve, served communications

aboard the submarine Flying Fish, which operated in
Japanese waters during the war. He is the owner of
"ham" station W6JUN in Martinen, while Messier op-
erate W6WJN.
Other members of the operating staff are: Mrs. Helen
Hobson of Concord, Steve Rossi of Pittsburg, and Walter
Trawick, Jim French, Wilfred O'Neill and Monroe Stin-
son of Martinez.
The services of the station, in addition to regular police
work, include city police, highway patrol and fire, weather
reports during the fire season and ambulance service.
The latter permits an ambulance driver to radio ahead
for special hospital services a patient may need. This, in
the opinion of the Concord Ambulance Service, has been
responsible for saving several lives within recent months.
Also on the KQCE beam is the county poundmaster,
who has two-way equipment and receives frequent emer-
gency calls.
Earliest records on station traffic go only as far back
as 1938. In December of that year the station handled a
total of 2,241 calls.
The daily average is now 550 calls per every 24 hours,
with 33,337 transmissions being made during the months
of last August and September. The station hit its peak
in October of 1946 with more than 19,000 transmissions.
The exact number is not known — the black line ran off
the graph before reaching that number.
