Ii e Outgrowth of Civil Defense units in 1940s

By Larry Shields

T HE SALEM POLICE Auxiliary is 40 years old.

As a public service organi­zation the auxiliary is a quiet but visible presence always ready and willing to assist the community.

Traffic disruptions, storm damage, lights out, blocked roads, something going on; or just everyday backing up and lending a hand to the police regulars, the auxiliary is there.

When people are out, the uniformed auxiliary is out, providing security and assis­tance at events ranging from the Jubilee to high school games and track meets.

Reynaldo Oriole was a charter member and the first Salem Auxiliary police chief, but before becoming a full­fledged auxiliary, the force was predated as a local Civi­lian Defense unit that was around in the late 1940s through mid-50s.

Civilian Defense organiza­tions were a part of that era in America and thrived nationwide, inspired by cold war fears.

"Civilian Defense was first," Oriole recalled. "Because back then you had the atomic bomb and (the possibility of) sneak attacks and we used to have black­outs, Salem would cooperate. Later the auxiliary police was formed."

Vague recollections of Presi­dents .:rruman and Eisenhow­er come to mind. On the American coasts, civilian Ground Observer Corps, armed with military aircraft reference manuals, scanned the skies in search of hostile bombers.

That was the tone back then.

Originally the Civilian Defense wore green uniforms, black ties, white dress hats

Over the years the Salem Police Auxiliary has had its own utility vehicles. This step van was in service in the mid-1960s. This photo is dated June 1968, and was probably taken during the Memorial Day Parade. The store in the upper left is the old People's Drug Store.

and silver badges that identi­fied them, Oriole said.

While the auxiliary had been around since the mid-50s it didn't become a formal organization until years later.

For the record, the Salem Auxiliary Police, Inc. was incorporated Aug. 12, 1968 by William Workman, Ronald Hall and Hume Webb as an Ohio non-profit corporation.

Even at 83, Oriole retains specifics of the original group. · "There were 16 original

members," he says. "Then in the .second year they_ got

another group of 16; the 32 of us were divided into squads."

Lt. Robert Kirchgessner was the director, he recalled. Mar­ty Lutsch was the police chief of the regular department.

Oriole said the auxiliary had about six months of training and had to ride five hours a month in the police cruiser.

"We were called in any emergency," he says.

Oriole used to run the shoe store next to the old Daniel E. Smith Jewelers and on football Friday nights says that, "I used to go out and

stop traffic because I was right there. I let my work go to stop traffic." Work in Salem, serve Salem

Charles Juliano, an auxiliary policeman since 1956, joined shortly after it evolved from the original Civilian Defense outfit.

Juliane's family came to Salem from Brooklyn, N.Y. and he graduated from Salem High School in 1942. He went to work at the Deming Pump Co. in 1943, retiring in 1983.

But in 1956, a then 33-year­old Juliano was too old to join the regular police force

for full-time work, but nonetheless harbored a long­held interest in law enforce­ment that steered him to join­ing the auxiliary.

"I was too old to be a cop, so that was the next best thing for it," he said. "It was something I wanted to get into."

Once in, he didn't worry about getting out. Juliano said they told him, "We'll let you know when to get out."

With the promotion of Michael Wietz to chief, he has served under five Salem

LIKE A STATELY RA VEN out of a misty night, a

mysterious stranger wearing a dark coat and fedora swoops down every January on the grave of Edgar Allan Poe to mark the poet's birthday.

Almost four bells after a midnight dreary, the stranger deposited a half-empty bottle of French cognac and three white rnses on Poe's headstone.

mar s Poe's irth "It's just so Poe-esque," said

onlooker Chris Densham, a 30-year-old Poe devotee from Toronto, Canada. "It's some­thing he would have written. It's a perfect tribute to this man."

Since 1949, a stranger has marked Poe's Jan. 19, 1809 birth with a half-bottle of Mar­tell cognac and roses.

The wily visitors have remained anonymous even though crowds have sometimes gathered to wait for him. True Poe fans refuse to interfere out of respect, said Jeff Jerome, cur­ator of the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum in Baltimore.

to represent the poet, his wife, and her mother - all of whom are buried in the tiny, brick­w all e d Westminster Hall cemetery downtown.

The significance of the cog­nac is unknown. Although Poe was known for bouts of hard drinking, no one knows if he favored cognac.

The author of macabre tales such as "The Raven" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" died in 1849 after he was found deliriously wandering the city's streets.

The stranger tipped his hat to the dozen people who waited all night with Jerome in the church adjacent to the cemetery.

The house in Fall River, Mass. where Lizzie Borden and her parents, Abby and Andrew Jackson Borden once lived i§ seen Thursday. Present owners of the house, Ron Evans and Martha McGhm, plan to convert the house to a bed and breakfast.

T O SLEEP WHERE LIZZIE Borden "took an ax,"

BOSTON (AP) - To sleep where Lizzie Borden "took an ax," you'll have to pay a hotel tax.

The owners of the house in Fall River, Massachusetts where Borden's parents were hacked to death 103 years ago are planning to tum it into a bed-and-breakfast inn.

"Look at today how many people are following the Simp­son case," said Ronald Evans, co-owner of the Greek revival­style house and a printing com­pany next door.

"Look at Salem. I bet they weren't too happy about the witches 300 years ago, but now the businesses are thriving," he said.

Evans and his business part­ner, Martha M~Ginn, plan to decorate their inn with Borden­era antiques and artifacts, Ouija boards, a library of books related to the case and a video collection of movies it inspired. They also plan the occasional murder mystery dinner.

On' Aug. 4, 1892, Abby and Andrew Borden were killed with an ax - Abby in her bed­room and Andrew in the sitting room of the house in Fall River, 46 miles south of Boston.

Abbv was hacked 18 times; her hi'.i.sband was struck 10 times in the head. An analysis of the contents of their sto­;:nachs showed that she ;Nas fllled at least o.n hour earlier than he '1vas.

Lizzie, then 32, was accused of the murders but acquitted on June 20, 1893, after a sensation­al trial. She died in 1927 at age 67, unmarried and ostracized. The crime was never solved, but the accusations against her were memorialized in doggerel:

"Lizzie Borden took an ax And gave her mother 40

whacks. When she saw what she had

done,

She gave her father 41." The partners plan to open

the inn Aug. 4, 1996, the· 104th anniversary of the murders and McGinn' s birthday.

McGinn, whose grandparents owned the house on Second Street, lived there as a teen­ager and says it's haunted.

"It wasn't just creaks we heard, it was genuine walk-

ing," she said. "And there were doors that opened and closed, lights that went on and off."

Evans lives in Rhode Island but occasionally stays at the house.

"Doors close by themselves for no apparent reason that have been open for years," he said. "We've had an occasion· when we went upstairs to the bedroom and there was a per­fect imprint of a head on the pillow and not a wrinkle on the cover."

Evans said he would like to open the house to the public for tours, which has never been done before. He plans a museum and has offered office space to the International Liz­zie Borden Society, a group of scholars and hobbyists who

T O COMMEMORATE THE SOth anniversary of the

end of World War II, the Ohio Department of Aging is spon­soring a "Home Front" exhibit at the Ohio State Fair in August.

The department is looking for written recollections (one or two pages)1 as well as old let­ters, posters, Dhotos and other memorabilia -representing the

study the case.

People often ask to see the house and write to "The Bor­den Residence" on Second Street for· information about the case, Evans said. Some have asked if they can stay there, he said.

And what does the commun­ity think of being known for a notorious and brutal crime?

"Lizzie Borden is just a fam­ous person from history that people know," said Robert Boiselle, president of the cham­ber of commerce. "We're mak­ing her a part of a mix of all the things there are to see and do here. Make no mistake about it: she is a hook that will get people here."

In fact, Boiselle said, "If they ever solve that murder, we're sunk."

Police Auxiliary' s presence is invaluable By Larry Shields

YOU DON'T THINK OF Salem neighborhoods as

being battlegrounds, but around 40 youths had that vag­ue, nasty notion near Columbi­a, Lundy and Pershing Streets a few weeks ago.

Any gathering that big will draw the attention of the police in a hurry, and this one did, days before.

Because ~ party was going on, Safety Director Hank Wil­lard said police had the area under surveillance, waiting for something to happen. They would be ready.

The situation demanded a strong, quick response and that's what it got. In minutes, the police arrived. Dispatchers alerted off-duty cops and about 15 auxiliary policemen raced to the area before any unofficial, unsanctioned head-bashing could be recorded.

As it turned out, nothing happened. That's why it didn: t :nake the papers.

3ut Wlllard 1 who was a ::alem auxiliary policeman for iour years rrom 1955 to 1959, viH tell :v-ou one thing did

occur. A message -was delivered.

He said the message was delivered clearly and plainly by Salem police Chief Michael Weitz.

11He told them if they wanted to act like L.A. gang members, they would be treated that way,'' Willard, whose father was on the Salem police department in 1929, said.

That seemed to do the trick. Whatever available hostility was floating around disap­peared, and the youths had something else to chew on aside from promoting their own impulsive fearlessness.

Sometime later Willard assessed the incident. He con­cluded the auxiliary' s presence was invaluable. The strong backup was a convincer.

"They got the message," Wil­lard said.

Willard worked at Deming Pump and said former police chief Marty Lutsch talked him into the test for patrolman.

"I was sitting there a few minutes before taking the test," he recalled, "and said, '>Jo I cion't wam to be a coo.' "

3ut 'Nillard mair1tains his

interests have always been guided by public safety. He said in the last 71;i years Salem has filled it full-time ranks almost exclusively from the auxiliary.

Springboard Weitz, who also got his

start on the auxiliary, said, "Over the years there've been a lot of people in the auxiliary."

Former auxiliary Chief Pete Petrachkoff agreed.

"A lot of people use the auxiliary as a springboard for police work. We continue to get more applicants than we have room for, so we get the very best," said Petrachkoff, who is still a member.

Petrachkoff has been elected auxiliary chief for five two-year terms, a quarter of its existence, and said the big­gest thing since he joined in 1982 has been the involve­ment of women on the auxiliary.

"At one time there were as many as five or six on the force," he said. "They really do a good especially in situa­tions -,Nnere females are ·caK.en ~~'1-LO custody.n

In many veterans organiza­tions, women comprise the auxiliary, but women have been a part of the police auxil­iary since they began joining in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Willard and retiring Lt. Charles Horn recall the days when the auxiliary only car­ried night sticks and police had to manually re-set traffic lights in the area of the shops each day, before they were automatically re-set.

They also rolled the big­based "School Crossing" signs off to the side.

Today, like always they back up the regular force and cover traffic problems, the Jubilee Parade, and ride weekend nights with regulars.

They also help out during bike rodeos, walk-a:thons and with the finger printing program.

The city pays for clothing issue, badges and other equip­ment and budgeted $4,000 for auxiliary supplies this year.

~f you figure the auxiliary averages 30 members and 2ach one uuts in six hours of c;ruiser dtity each month you

get an idea of how the cost­benefit works out for the city.

The auxiliary puts in about 180 hours a month. Multiply that times entry-level patrol­man pay of about $9.20 per hour and you get your money back in 75 days.

And the members pay for their own sidearms, keep their markmanship certification current and continue to volunteer.

"They play a big part daily," Horn said. "You never know what's going to happen."

Willard agreed, "I'll tell you, without them we couldn't operate."

Moyer has paid his dues there for 20 years.

"The water' d come down and flood. Chief (Richard) Whin­nery called me on the walkie­talkie one day and asked if I needed boots.

"I said, 'No, I need a boat!'"

He also recalled one blister­ing Salem Jubilee Parade day that he worked the intersec­tion, which could get just as deep with shimmerin[ heat waves.

"It was hot and I was sweating, and Harold Madi­son came over and I went to get a drink and some lady said to me, 'You're getting paid, I'm here for nothing.' "

It was one of those deals where you just nod, smile and move on.

Still there In 1975 police auxiliaries

were authorized to carry sidearms after taking classes to qualify for certification.

"If you can't qualify, they take it away from you," Moyer, who carries a .38 Police Special, said.

Moyer has worked high school football games on the visitor side of the Reilly Stadium.

"I was the mean old man, I wouldn't let them get in fights,'' he laughed.

He worked basketball games until 1992.

He explained that a lot of things that happen are just part of police work.

"We were there if they needed us,'' Moyer said.

Mammy cast iron bank. She is about 6 inches tall and in good condition. Coins are deposited into an opening in the back. Can you give me an estimated value of my bank?

A. Black Americana encom­passes a wide range of collecti­bles from art and literature to derogatory caricatures. Unflat­tering stereotypes were reflected in advertising and toys from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. By the 1950s this prevailing attitude was changing.

The female image was known as Mammy or Aunt Jemima, and her male compan­ion was called Uncle Mose.

Wedgwood cream­ware was made from Cornwall clay, which has a strong light color body. The creamware fac­tory was moved from Etruria to Barlaston around 1940. Each plate would be worth about $50 to $60 in good condition.
