Thinking Out Loud Nevada City Nu COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA eget in the right to publish the Truth, with good motives and for justifiable ends. — Alexander Hamilton From the Californian, March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists By H. M. L. recent action te cil in refusing longer to swbscribe to the short wave service set up for the protection of Nevada county in the office of the California Traffic patrol in Grass Valley. As an insurance measure alone, we believe it is worth the money, $45 per month, which it costs as. Nevada City’s pro rata share of maintaining a day and night man at the broadcast station. We cite one or two instances when the short wave broadcast has proved especially useful. On the morning of April 6, eight armed men came down from Truckee to assist the CIO communists, The facts ‘that they had left Truckee, were armed, and the hour they were expected to arrive in Nevada City, were broadcast long before they arrived here. Jim Allen, nightwatehman, picked up the news’ on his receiving set in the police car, and was waiting for these bravos when they arrived around 4 a. m. The sheriff’s office was notified, and deputies at once detailed to arrest the visitors, who were all very much surprised. The short wave broadcast was responsible. No one can say what might have happened if these -Truckee CIO’s had had a chance to: organize locally. Men might have been killed. The short wave broadcast prevented desperate action and, perhaps, murder. During the flood season several months since, a_ festive celebrant somewhat the worse: for drink hopped over the railing of the Creek bridge into the stream. A phone message to the broadcast station and Allen got’ the news on the radio of his police car, and was there within only a minute or two after the “man had leaped. Again, Mrs. Betty (Martin West phoned the broadcast station one night that she had seen a prowler in the vicinity of her home It was ‘hardly a minute before Jim Allen pulled up in front of her residence, and { about five minutes later a traffic patrol car stopped at her door. These instances are cited to show . , how effective the broadcast service is. It also makes available the names of some 3,000,000 car owners and the license numbers of their cars. The police chief can call up the Grass Valley broadcast station anytime, make an inquiry regarding car numbers or owners, and get an answer in five minutes from Sacramento. The radio inquiry goes out and the answer comes quick. For some months Nevada City has been free of big and little criminal offenses, It is only a fair presumption that this condition is due primarily to the fear that all felons have of the police short wave radio service. It works so fast that the chance ot their getting away is reduced to almost nothing. It may be that $45 per month is too much to pay for this insurance service. We cannot be a judge of that, yet if it keeps crim. ' this broadcast station. Installation has not cost the county a cent. Other counties have not been so fortunate. Siskiyou, Butte and Tehema county boards of supervisors have installed these broadeast stations and maintain them at the tax payers’ expense. They believe they are. worth the money just for the insurance against operations of all varieties of criminals. They are specially valuable in preventing such crimes as car theft, burglary, robbery, and rioting. or in apprehending those who attempt to flee the scene of their crimes anywhere in the territory covered by the short wave radio. Nowadays the criminal. element all too frequently makes use of every new scientific device for perpetrating their crimes. They carefully plan in advance every detail of their holdup or burglary .and ,their get-away. Unless the tax payers first, and the peace officers second, are willing to use such preventive devices as science offers from time-tio ‘time, it is an unequal and losing battle with assorted thugs. Let’s retain the short wave service and the: protection it surely affords us.
