Cops’ Wives Ride Patrol

Cars To Cut Divorce Rate

Policemen's wives in Spo-
kane complained about their
husbands always on the prowl
while they sit home at nights
twiddling their thumbs.

So Spokane County police
department officials took the
bull by the horns and decided to
let the wives play policewoman
for'a day every three months.

Now like male and female _

lions, Spokane cops hunt with
their mates—and off duty, they
report more harmony in their

ge.

Statistics show that over
recent years there has been an
alarming increase in the in-
cidence of divorce among law
enforcement officers in the
United States.

Tohelp solve this problem, ~

Police Chief William Reilly
adopted this program in an ef-
fort to help make peace in the
home and better acquaint wives
with the duties of their hus-
bands,

“We've found considerable
misunderstanding by law en-
forcement wives about the jobs
their husbands do,” said Reilly.

There are a few rules

--Medications

‘wives must follow under the
new program,

First, they must sign a
waiver absolving the county of
any liability while she’s out on
the prowl—and should her hus-
band have to deal with a serious
problem, she must remain in

ie patrol car for her own
safety.

Of the dozen of so of the
department's 64 patrolmen's
wives who have already sat
beside their husbands in the
front seat of the partrol car for
a day, they all agreed it was a
rewarding experience, said

ly.
He added that similar pro-

should drive an automobile,

grams have met with signifi-
cant success in other depart-
ments.

“Tm glad I went along,”
said Mrs, Anthony White. “I
saw just what a good officer my
husband is.” _

Mrs. James Hill, a former
police radio operator, had bees
in patrol cars before. i

But when you are riding
with your husband, she said,
its different. “You seem to
sense the potential dangers a
lot more." _

While most trips are in-

terribly exciting,

Mrs. Michael Myrhe was
one wife, however, who had an

“interesting story’ to tell her -
“neighbors when she returned

from her one-day tour.

Her husband and other
policemen nabbed two teenage
burglary suspects inside a pizza
parlor while she sat in the
patrol car with a bird's eye
view as the drama unfolded.

“But the kids they caught
were just youngsters, not real
grown-up burglars like you see
on TV,” she said.

“I understand my hus.
band’s job better now. When he
comes home and talks about
things like checking buildings
for burglars I have a much
better idea of what he's talking
about.”

Slocan Valley
Correspondent

A monument commemo-
rating early mining activity In
Slocan has been erectod in the
village.

A small boiler and steam
engine used at the. Evening
Star Mine in 1898 has been
restored and erected in ‘the
village park. This was given to
the village by the present
owner, Clarence Thickett,

The mine is located three
miles south of Slocan on the
mountain east of the village,

Mr. Thickett has worked in
this area in mines since 1963,
He owns other claims and is

, currently working the Ottawa
vine, :

The original machinery
comprised of a small steam
boiler, hoist and a 15 hp engine,
was hauled to the mine site in
1898 on horseback.

Ald. Steve Cooley trans-
ported the pieces to the village
with his truck. Geoffery Hirat,
city foreman supervised five
students working on a summer
work program, to restore the
relic, building a new wood
tower and pouring a founda-
tion.

Hugh Sutherland, a mining
promoter and owner from Win-
nipeg, rebuilt Evening Star
buildings in 1918-1919 after a
forest fire had destroyed the
original structures.

There exists a 100 foot

/ deep vertical shaft and 50 feet

ofhorizontal adit at the bottom,
old records show.

From 1898 to .1919 old
mining reports state, 24 tons of
ore were shipped averaging 363
ounces of silver per,ton plus $25
worth of gold.

Mr. Thickett is currently
working on the old Ottawa
claims and has completed 180
feet of new tunneling to reach
the ore face. -

Name Origin
Undecided

Versions differ on how
Jump Off Joe, Wash., got its
name.

‘Two explanations appear

in’ PH above the fireplace’of
Robert fi

Mrea and :Mrs. Ww.
Greens’ resort store on the 115-
acre lake near Valley, Wash.

The simpler one says an
Indian chief named Jump Off
Joe lived in the are for many
years.

The more colorful—and
therefore more widely ac-

ville run was named Joe.

When bad weather some-
times made sections of the
roadway almost impassable,
passengers would get out and
hang onto the sides of the coach
to keep it upright as Joe drove.
One day the coach began to
‘slide out of control, and
sengers yelled: “Jump off, Joe.”

The name stuck. When
Catholics built a church in
Jump Off Joe, in 1905, it was
named St, Joseph's. But most
everyone refers to it as the
Jump Off Joe Chureh,

Women’s Lib
Hits After
10,000 Years

For reasons of - historical
accuracy, not women’s lib,
“Minnesota Man” is now “Min-
nesota Woman,” by order of the
state legislature.

The state Senate concur-
red recently in an amendment
to rename the bones found in
Otter Tail County in the 1920's,
believed to be the remains of a
human of 10,000 years ago,

Although the bones were
named “Minnesota man,” it was
long known they were the
remains of a female.
