WHEN A POLICE OFFICER sheds his uniform at the end<br />
of his watch, he doesn't shed his responsibility as a<br />
policeman along with it. He is "on-duty" 24 hours<br />
a day. Two recent incidents in which officers risked their<br />
lives are dramatic illustrations of this.<br />
Off-duty Officer Hutchie T. Moore, 10th District, was in<br />
a gas station about 0045 hours on 14 January, talking with<br />
the attendant and an attendant's friend. A man walked in,<br />
used the telephone, looked around and stepped out. Immediately<br />
two other men entered. One of them drew a revolver<br />
and said, "This is a stickup," and ordered them to the rear<br />
of the station.<br />
Just then, two customers, unaware of the robbery, entered<br />
the station. The gunman fired two shots into the floor and<br />
ordered them to join the others.<br />
While one of the robbers held all five at gunpoint, a second<br />
went through the attendant's pockets and took $35. Then he<br />
started to go through Officer Moore's pockets. Moore grabbed<br />
the man, using him as a shield, and as they struggled, the<br />
other robber opened fire. He hit both his ac<strong>com</strong>plice and<br />
Moore. Moore was wounded in the lower body; the ac<strong>com</strong>plice<br />
was hit three times, once in the center of the forehead.<br />
The gunman and first suspect fled. The wounded robber died<br />
a few hours later at Cook County Hospital. Moore was taken<br />
to Mt. Sinai Hospital in critical condition.<br />
The dead man's identification was found in his pockets,<br />
along with papers listing names and addresses of friends.<br />
Through these, detectives from Area #4 Robbery and<br />
Homicide/Sex traced the other two suspects. Both of these<br />
men were arrested the same day and have been charged with<br />
murder, attempted murder and armed robbery.<br />
Two weeks after the shooting, Officer Hutchie Moore<br />
is in good condition and displays good spirits in the<br />
hospital.<br />

Officer Gary Hellinger (r) receives a new gun from<br />
WBBM-TV news broadcaster Jerry Harper.<br />
OFF-DUTY POLICEMAN Gary Hettinger, 17th District, was<br />
in a lounge with his fiancee on 21 December when two<br />
robbers entered, brandished guns and announced a holdup.<br />
The customers, including Hettinger, surrendered their wallets<br />
and the bartender emptied the cash register.<br />
The two men grabbed the money and were about to leave<br />
through the rear when Hettinger motioned the customers<br />
aside and opened fire. One robber collapsed immediately.<br />
The second turned around and started shooting at Hettinger.<br />
Both men emptied their guns; the officer then' rushed the<br />
robber, struggled with him and finally struck him on the head<br />
with the butt of his gun.<br />
The first holdup man was pronounced dead on arrival at<br />
Northwest Hospital. The second, according to investigating<br />
detectives, has been arrested 13 times since 1961.<br />
Hettinger was unscathed, but his gun was ruined; WBBM<br />
TV presented him with a new one for his heroic action. *<br />

MISCELLANEOUS INCIDENT ?<br />
There are such things as large families,<br />
but when a new birth is announced<br />
on a Miscellaneous Incident Reportthat's<br />
being a little too nonchalant. Special<br />
Projects reports that one officer requested<br />
the new baby certificate on a<br />
Miscellaneous Incident form.<br />
If you want a Junior Member of the<br />
Department Certificate, please fill out a<br />

Grzeskiewicz's two boys are both<br />
Eagle Scouts; his daughter has achieved<br />
the Girl Scouts' Curved Bar-which is<br />
the equivalent of the Eagle Scout; an9<br />
his wife is a trained Girl Scout leader.<br />

McClain, Fekete and Regan effected<br />
an on-view arrest of four suspicious<br />
men. The officers observed the men<br />
near parked cars in the parking lot<br />
at 2222 South State Street. Officers<br />
McClain, Fekete and Regan gave<br />
chase and apprehended the offenders.<br />
Investigation disclosed that<br />
these four men were removing a<br />
large quantity of cigarettes, meats<br />
and groceries from three parked<br />
cars in the lot. The subjects were<br />
arrested and transported into the<br />
21st District for processing and interrogation.<br />
It was learned that<br />
these four men had burglarized the<br />
A 6. P store at 2328 1z W . Roosevelt<br />
Road on 20 December '65. It was<br />
also learned that a fire was initiated<br />
to cover the burglary at the store,<br />
and that the property stolen was<br />
valued at $2,000. A search of the<br />
cars produced an acetylene torch,<br />
cutting equipment, and burglary<br />
tools. From the description of the<br />
case, Officers Regan, Fekete, and<br />
McClain did one helluva job. Congratulations<br />
to these officers for<br />
their fine performance . . . Congratulations<br />

which consists of the plexiglass<br />

the tremendous job being done by<br />

Intra-Department Basketball League<br />
Did you ever wonder how much<br />
ground is covered by players during a<br />
season's play? This crossed our minds<br />
too, and as close as we can figure, our<br />
fellows logged 1,200 miles, scoring<br />
3,738 points in 39 games during the<br />
first round of play. Incidentally, each<br />
game is played in four 8-minute quarters,<br />
so our guys traveled at 148 M.P.H.<br />
Not bad for a bunch of flatfoots!<br />
If you've been missing this fast action,<br />
you had better make plans to take the<br />
wife and kids to our championship<br />
games starting on Sunday, 7 March, at<br />

The way the league is stacking up,<br />
it's anybody's guess as to what four<br />
teams will join the 7th, 11 th, 20th, and<br />
21 st Districts (First Round Champs)<br />
in the Quarter Finals. Remember, it's<br />
your rooting that will route your boys<br />

In 1936, James A. Boyle joined the<br />
<strong>Chicago</strong> Police Department. That was 30<br />
years ago, and today, 83-year old Mr.<br />
Boyle is still active in his "retirement<br />
job".<br />
One of Mr. Boyle's hobbies is writing<br />
poetry. For years, his verses have<br />
amused and informed fellow workers in<br />
Record Inquiry as well as delighted his<br />
other friends and family (two daughters,<br />
one son, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.)<br />
Below is only one example of<br />
Mr. Boyle's wit and wisdom.<br />
ADVICE TO THE AGE-WORN<br />
When you reach the age of fifty,<br />
Fifty-five or maybe sixt)"<br />
There's not much to do around the<br />
house.<br />
Fl'om you, work is not expected,<br />
So if Y01l would be respected,<br />
Be as quiet and as humble as a mouse.<br />
It matters not how good your wish is,<br />
Ne ver Iry to wash the dirhes.<br />
Let your motto be "Do less and never<br />
more."<br />
And for goodness gracious sake,<br />
When you eat a piece of cake,<br />
"Please don't drop the crumbs 011 my<br />
clean kitchen floor."<br />
Never tfy to be progressive,<br />
If )'ou do you'll make a mess of<br />
Any task, it matters not how small it be.<br />
And if you want a sample,<br />
Or a horrible example,<br />
lust 'stand back and take a look at me.<br />
Y Ott will have a lot less sorroUJ<br />
If you don't think of tomorrow.<br />
