The program, designed to reduce burglaries and thefts was introduced in 1963 in Monterey Park by its chief of police, Edward F. Holladay. The results of the program reportedly have been startling in Holladay's city of 50,000, There were which participated which have had only three burglaries since, In the 7,000 non-participating homes, more than 1,800 burglaries were reported. Home southern California communities employing Operation Identification are said to have been reduced dramatically by this "simple and inexpensive method. The plan works like this: — Engrave your driver's license number on your valuable possessions that burglars find most appealing — television sets, radios, stereos, tape recorders, bicycles, cameras, typewriters, electric tools, jewelry, musical instruments, — Put stickers (which will be furnished) on your home's front door. and other obvious places advising potential thieves that "all items of value on these premisés have been marked for ready identification by law enforcement agencies," . This helps foil a thief in three ways: If he is stopped by police with marked items in his possession he can't readily convince officers that they belong to him; Possessions easily idenChuck Murray assigned to Auburn unit Nayal Reserve Lt. Chuck Murray, who in civilian life is the assistant administrator .of Sierra Nevada and Miners Hospitals inNevadaC ounty, has been assigned to Naval Reserve Surface Division 12-10 (S) in Auburn as administrative officer. Murray, who resides with his family at Lake of the Pines, received his masters degree in hospital administration from the University of Iowa in 1968, Prior to coming to Nevada county, he served as administrative assistant in University of California Hospital in San Francisco, Lt. Murray's naval career began in 1963 when he was commissioned an ensign and assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk, WHEN YOU NEED — Remodeling Painting Plumbing Electrical Home Repairs Garden Work 4,000 households — tifiable mean "fences" who buy and resell stolen property, are cool to the items; the thief gets stuck with goods when he really wants money; the stickers may discourage a thieffrom breaking in at all. "The key to success is for a large number of citizens in a community or area to participate so thieves will know they are operating in dangerous ter-ritory," participating officials say. The etching tool is available for use of local residents and stickers reading "We have joined Operation Identification", and carrying the seal of the Nevada City Police Department, will be furnished, The club will set-up. shop in the Nevada City Police Department between 1: and 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, Those who wish to borrow the tool may sign it out, mark their valuables and return the. tool to the club, They will be given stickers, The local BPWC has been working on the project for some ‘time and to date has invested more than $300 on the protection project, club members said, Clara Peterson, civic participation chairman, is in charge of the project, "It's a very good thing and will be helpful in law enforcement, -When we pick up an article believed to have been stolen we can find out in minutes who it belongs to by contacting offi_cials in Sacramento, I believe it will reduce burglaries and thefts," Nevada City Police Chief ‘Jim Moon said, There is no charge for the protective measures, but Mrs, Peterson said the club will accept donations to increase the program, Artists getting ready for fair Artists are now submitting their works to be judged for inclusion in the 19th annual Art. ists' Christmas Fair, The fair features original crafts such as Christmas cards, matted graphics, ornaments, holiday decorations, ceramics, enamels, jewelry, batiks and other crafts, Each year thousands of visitors and local residents visit the fair to purchase Christmas gifts and to enjoy the beauty and hospitality of Nevada City. Lois Baker, president of the Nevada City Art Association is chairman of the 1971 fair, — If you're touring a foreign country this summer, get set for some hard news. No matter which way you go, you'll run'smack into drug laws that are a whole lot tougher than ours. You may have heard differently.
