Thirty-four Junior Police
Are Sworn In By City
Thirty-four Junior Policemen
attended their first meeting and
were sworn in by Magistrate Car
rie McLain as Junior Police for
the City of Nome and received
their badges.
Robert Summers is proudly
wearing the’badge of junior chief;
Bruce Russell, sergeant; Jim Roth,
captain; Paul Glavinovich, lieu
tenant; and Jack Muller, acting
sergeant.
Superintendent William Angell
explained to the group the mean
ing of the oath they had taken
and what the law of the city and
its ordinances really mean, and
said that the manner in which
they conduct themselves will be
judged by everyone in the com
munity.
In case of fire the members of
this organization were instructed
to stand back and keep other
children away from hoses and fire
fighting equipment.
Police Chief Clyde Glass told
the boys:
“Junior Officers, like other in
dividuals, are judged by their
personal conduct. The entire Jun
ior Patrol suffers when one of us
is involved in any misconduct.
Any officer who is disloyal to his
oath of office becomes a disgrace
to his fellow officers.
“You have the tremendous re
sponsibility of serving as a sym
bol of right and justice and of
setting an example for all other
children of Nome.
“We are also judged by the ef
ficiency with which we perform
our duties as guardians of com
munity property. Remember that
the breaking of one insulator on
a high tension line could cause
the whole city of Nome to burn.
“The members of the communi
ty will soon realize that the Jun
ior Patrol officers are striving to
enforce the law and abide by the
law to the best interests of all
concerned.”
Gordon Osborne has invited all
Junior Patrolmen to the show Fri
day as his guests. They will be
admitted free by showing their
badges.
